In the United States, there are no pretenses or tongue-in-cheek. No need to even ask the Mavericks, the first NBA opponents of Victor Wembanyama’s Spurs, if they have planned an anti-Wemby plan: they demonstrate it directly, with supporting images. The Dallas players – who will be deprived of Doncic – trained to face the young Frenchman, who will make his NBA debut on the night of Tuesday to Wednesday, with… arm extensions. At first glance, it doesn’t look crazy. We’ll let you judge for yourself.
This video nevertheless has the advantage of showing that Victor Wembanyama has gotten into the skulls of his future opponents. The No. 1 in the draft had a very promising pre-season and it seems that the opposing fears are justified. During his outing against the Warriors, the former Mets player flaunted his full stature (2.43m) to the point that some already imagine him as a gravedigger of shooters.
