Turco from the Houston Rockets played against Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs, scoring 45 points in the match against the French rookie
This past Tuesday, the 5th, the Houston Rockets hit the San Antonio Spurs by 114 to 101. The match between two teams from Texas also marked a meeting of great NBA promises: the Turkish Alperen Sengun and French Victor Wembanyama. In the duel, the player from Turkey came out on top, who scored an impressive 45 points and 15 rebounds, while the player from France scored just 10 points and 11 rebounds.
In this way, Sengun recognized Wembanyama’s talent, but took the opportunity to poke at his opponent and say that the Frenchman would not be as strong for the North American basketball league. “He’s so tall, but still not that strong. I didn’t have many wrinkles. They just left me one-on-one with Wemby and I did what I do. I went to his chest and placed him under the basket.”he commented.
The Turk really took advantage of the duel against the Frenchman. At various times, he took Wemby to the paint, hitting 17 of 29 baskets in the painted area of the court. However, in the last quarter, a play caught the attention of spectators. Trapped at the bottom of the court, Sengun got rid of the marking, turned and buried the ball over his opponent. With such ease in scoring, the athlete achieved the best score for a Turkish player in the NBA.
