Victor Wembanyama decided to be collective this Sunday evening with a nice pass for Jeremy Sochan to equalize against the Cavaliers. Except that some fans questioned the Frenchman’s gesture, perhaps too altruistic. This is what he explained to journalists.

There must be disappointment among the Spurs after this defeat against Cleveland this Sunday. Gregg Popovich’s men had the opportunity to equalize or go ahead 15 seconds from the end, with a very collective Victor Wembanyama. Very close to the circle, the Frenchman chose the pass for Jeremy Sochan, free under the basket, before seeing his teammate lose the leather (watch the sequence here).

Wembanyama looks back on Spurs’ failed final

Sochan could have taken the shot, but Jarrett Allen was not necessarily far away. The fans are still angry with him, especially because his pass was completely missed at 3 points. Many supporters therefore believe that Wemby made the wrong choice, he who could have tried to go solo. At a press conference, he did not necessarily disagree.

Wemby on whether he would have acted differently when he ignored a shot to pass the ball to Sochan in the final seconds: “I don’t think so. I need to see the pictures again. I don’t know, but I won’t make that mistake again if I made one. »

Wembanyama could have gone solo in this sequence, since he could have easily scored against his opponent. But he chose the smart option with a nice pass for Sochan, although his teammate failed to finish. And this is not the first time unfortunately.

He must learn to be more selfish. He doesn’t play with reliable elite players.

It means yes

Does Victor Wembanyama regret his pass for Jeremy Sochan? Obviously the answer is no. But that doesn’t necessarily mean he made the best decision. The supporters have already made their choice.
