The match between Japan and France left a postcard that is hard to forget, where the little guy is about to beat the NBA giant.
A few days have passed since one of the most controversial games in the men’s division, the world of basketball is once again impressed by a situation that occurred at these Olympic Games. Paris is the setting where many fans flock to Victor Wembanyama. The number one pick in the draft, selected by the San Antonio Spurs, is a more than valid reason to pay for the ticket, and local fans enjoy his actions on the field of play. But his unique physique was most evident in the game against Japan, where he was defended by one of the smallest players in the tournament.
To put this into context, Wemby has a talent rarely seen before, supported by a physique of equal quality. The inmate measures 2.24 meters tall, with a wingspan of 2.44 meters. This not only gives him an advantage over his defenders, but also makes him a dangerous defender. He finished the NBA season as the top blocker, an area he will surely dominate for several years. The reality is (very) different for Yuki Togashi, who plays as a point guard and measures only 1.67 meters. The situation of the game put them face to face again and again on the field of play, leaving a postcard that is hard to forget. Their almost 60 centimeter difference is obvious.
The match was a victory for France in overtime, 94 to 90; after a controversial game at the end of 40 minutes. But despite the game, Japan proved up to the task, playing as equals against one of the top candidates to challenge the United States for the gold medal.
