Victor Wembanyama’s story continues as he dominates in the semifinals of the domestic competition. The future No.1 pick records another double-double that was too much for ASVEL to handle in game 1 as Metropolitans 92 won the game 75-69.
Metropolitans 92 won the first three qourter which was enough for an 11-point lead going into the final 10 minutes. ASVEL did not overcome this kind of deficit.
Victor Wembanyama played 35 minutes and inked 19 points and 14 rebounds. DeVante Jones and TaShawn Thomas followed with 12 points each.
Former Chicago Bulls players Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah had front-row seats for the Wembanyama show.
