Seats will be expensive. Beaten on a 3-point shot by Dominic Artis in the last second Tuesday night in Cholet (83-80) during the quarter-final second leg of the playoffs, the Metropolitans will play a great decisive this Thursday evening (8:30 p.m., Marcel-Cerdan sports palace in Levallois). A crucial game. A success on their ground would allow Vincent Colet’s players to join Asvel – already qualified after their two victories against Le Mans – in the semi-finals of the playoffs. A setback, on the other hand, would sound like a failure for the team which finished in 2nd place in the regular season and would send the players on vacation prematurely.
Above all, defeat would be synonymous with the end of the “last dance” of Victor Wembanyama in the French championship. It would mark the farewell of the new king of French basketball. He will indeed fly away at the end of the playoffs to the United States and the prestigious NBA. Probable future number 1 in the NBA Draft – on the night of June 22 to 23 in France -, Wemby should immediately join Texas to wear the San Antonio Spurs tunic. The beginning of a new life at 19 years old.
Tickets for the match will go on sale on the club’s website from 4 p.m. this Wednesday. They risk – as usual – flying away in just a few minutes. For the slower – and less lucky – the match will be broadcast on BeIN Sports and on First Team’s YouTube channel. An appointment not to be missed !
Presented as an “alien” by LeBron James, because of his ability to play as a winger despite his 2.21 m (without soles), the native of Chesnay could therefore play his last match in France (excluding the national team) before a long time.
The demiurge of French basketball, who scooped all the awards at the Basketball League trophy ceremony, has caused unprecedented enthusiasm in French cinemas this season. A real “wembamania”. And the fever should rise a few more notches against Cholet.
