NBA Gregg Popovich et Victor Wembanyama

If he is the phenomenon of this French Team, Victor Wembanyama has nevertheless been relegated to the background for a few matches as some of his compatriots shine.

Enough to earn a few tackles for his San Antonio franchise.

We must sometimes remember that he is still only 20 years old and that this is only his first competition with the French Team.

But it is difficult to deny it at this stage: Victor Wembanyama’s Olympic Games are not a great success.

Instead of rolling over the competition, the Spurs pivot shows a lot of clumsiness in shooting even if he manages to remain very impactful in his half of the field.

It is therefore no coincidence that he is not among the heroes of the two victories against Canada and Germany.

We are thinking in particular of Guerschon Yabusele and Isaïa Cordinier who are stringing together remarkable performances.

The second has also attracted the suspicion of a certain Kevin Durant… Whatever the case, the two men impress the American fans who have taken the opportunity to tease the Spurs.

In the middle of the match between the Blues and Germany, the Internet user above took the opportunity to proclaim it loud and clear: the Yabusele-Cordinier pair is better than the entire San Antonio roster currently assembled around Wemby.

It stings for Gregg Popovich and his men but it is true that the Texan squad is not yet good enough to hope to go far next year, even with Chris Paul at the helm.

No wonder Pop was in the crowd to watch the game.

And don’t forget Mathias Lessort

If the French team managed to reach the final of the Paris Olympic Games, it is above all thanks to the great work of its soldiers in the shadows.

For his part, Victor Wembanyama had a big impact in defense but his offensive game is still under construction with the Blues.

Let’s hope he corrects this during the match against Team USA.
