Wembanyama gets a slap on the wrist from his coach: “I was bad tonight”

Victor Wembanyama He does not shirk his responsibilities and last night he was very critical of himself after the San Antonio Spurs’ loss to the New York Knicks in the first game of the NBA Finals (95-105).

Wemby had a lot to do with that defeat with which the Spurs delivered the court factor, with a double-double of 26 points and 12 rebounds but only 6/21 in field goals and 6 turnovers.

“I was bad tonight. It’s not more complicated than this,” acknowledged the 2.24, 22-year-old center.

“Obviously, we’ve been down in a series before. Obviously, never in the Finals. But I don’t regret anything, I’m not worried in the least,” added Wemby, who only made two field goals against the strong defense of Karl-Anthony Towns.

“I have to play normal, not even good. When I’m not good we shoot ourselves in the foot. We’re going to be much better,” Wembanyama also said.

The star got a slap on the wrist from his coach, Mitch Johnson.

“I would say he definitely takes responsibility. I hope he learns a lot from tonight’s game and comes out with a good focus in the second game,” said the Spurs coach ahead of Game 2 from early Friday to Saturday.
