    I wish we could have won the game, says Victor Wembanyama after scoring 27 in second Summer League game

    July 12, 2023

     

    After a horrendous debut for San Antonio Spurs, Victor Wembanyama showed what he can bring to the court on Sunday night. In his second Summer League game, the youngster had 27 points, 12 rebounds, and three blocks on 9-of-14 shooting.

    But, his efforts went in vain as the Spurs suffered a 85-80 loss against Portland Trail Blazers. In fact, the 19-year-old had a 2-of-13 shooting performance on Friday night against Charlotte Hornets but he was able to turn the tables on Sunday versus the Trail Blazers.

    However, Victor said he would have been happier if they had gone on to win the match.

    “I wish we could have won the game,” Wembanyama said. “I think I could have done more to help my team win the game. We got to keep learning. We haven’t been playing our best for like three quarters. Then in the fourth quarter, we were really dominating. It shows the personality of the team.

    “I think personally, it’s normal to get better every game. Two days ago was my first game.”

    In fact, the Spurs were trailing by 16 points while going into the fourth quarter but they were able to prune the lead to one point but they failed to add the finishing touches. Spurs guard Blake Wesley showered praise on the youngster and feels he is difficult to stop if he gets going.

    “I told him at shootaround this morning, I said, ‘We got to get you going early,’ and you see what happened,” Spurs guard Blake Wesley said. “He had 27 tonight. When he gets going, he gets on fire.”

    The youngster revealed he is not going to represent France in the FIBA World Cup, which is all set to take place in the Philippines. Victor wants to be ready for the upcoming NBA season.

    “I just know that as I’m not playing in the World Cup,” Wembanyama added, “I’ve got two to three months — two to three great months — that are coming up and they’re going to change my life.”
