NBA (DR)
On paper, the opposition between the Spurs and the Rockets should feature the two best young interior players in the NBA, namely Victor Wembanyama and Alperen Sengun. Unfortunately, this 100% European duel was one-sided. Well helped by the collective defense put in place by the excellent Ime Udoka , the Turk crushed the meeting with his talent.
Not only was his direct opponent limited to 10 points, 11 rebounds, 7 blocks and 3 assists, but he produced his best career game with 45 units, 16 rebounds, 5 stolen balls and 3 caviars delivered. If some still had doubts about it, here is irrefutable proof that it is around Sengun that we must build in Houston.
Alperen Sengun talks about his duel with Wemby
Obviously present at the media microphone after the meeting, the pivot was questioned about this long-awaited duel, and he was rather honest about his real motivations. The Turk was not obsessed with the Frenchman, he was especially motivated by the idea of defeating a Texan rival in front of his home crowd. This perhaps explains his defensive determination.
Against Wembanyama and especially against San Antonio, we knew we couldn’t lose at home in front of our fans. I was more focused because it was at home. I felt good today. I had to defend at Wemby, especially in the last quarter, I did my best and didn’t let him score. I did a good job at this level.
Against San Antonio and Victor Wembanyama, Alperen Sengun achieved his best career performance in scoring, but also in the number of interceptions, proof that he was in the zone on both sides of the field. He was keen to do well in front of his audience, especially against a rival, and he lived up to his own expectations:

Very fit in recent weeks, Victor Wembanyama was more discreet this Tuesday against the Rockets. He was largely dominated by an Alperen Sengun on a mission to satisfy his fans. The revenge may be worth the detour.
