Nuggets (DR) / NBA (DR)
Victor Wembanyama did what he could against the Nuggets this Friday night, but it’s difficult to counter one of the favorites for the title.
At a press conference, Mike Malone had positive words for the Frenchman.
With only 12 shots against the Nuggets this Friday night, we cannot say that Victor Wembanyama was able to express himself freely in attack.
Nikola Jokic’s teammates did their best to try to complicate his life, while his teammates still forgot about him in multiple sequences.
One with Jeremy Sochan is particularly creating a buzz on social networks .
Too bad for Spurs and Wemby, a little frustrated to lose we imagine against one of the favorites for the title. T
he victory could have been good for the Texans, but difficult to counter Jokic’s 31 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists.
Note that Victor still finished with 17 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 interceptions and finally 3 blocks in 33 minutes.
Wembanyama praised by the opposing coach
Not a bad match either for the Frenchman, although he will especially remember the defeat.
Despite all that, the Nuggets coach was seduced by Wemby’s performance.
He showed good things at the start of the match, forcing Jokic to adapt his game.
This is what Mike Malone told journalists during his press conference
Mike Malone on Wembanyama : “I think the first time Jokic was in the post against Wemby, he blocked the shot.
But Nikola is an expert, he said to himself, ‘ok I saw what Victor did, how can I make sure it doesn’t happen again?’
Jokic managed to put him in difficulty with his mistakes.
If you want to beat Spurs, you have to commit several fouls to Wembanyama”
“Putting him on the bench is probably the best way to stop him.
But this kid really has an incredible future.
He will become more and more incredible when he becomes more powerful. »
Nice compliment for Wembanyama, who caused the Nuggets a lot of trouble this Friday night, although Jokic found the solution.
Because if the Frenchman was not excluded by the referees, we will note that he ended his match with 5 fouls against the Nuggets.
Victor Wembanyama did what he could against the Nuggets, but it will take a lot more to beat Mike Malone’s team.
The Denver coach is still impressed by the Frenchman’s prowess.
