Jean Montero shines again and makes the Liga Endesa All-Star Five<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe stellar French power forward stated that the Texas team must maintain focus and “come back down to earth” emotionally before the start of the championship series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe excitement was something I hadn’t felt in a long time,\u201d confessed Wembanyama while recalling the qualification achieved against the Oklahoma City Thunder, the current NBA champions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The European player, chosen as the Western Conference Finals MVP, starred in an emotional scene after the victory by breaking into tears while hugging his teammates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, the French phenomenon made it clear that the team’s work is not yet finished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe have to come down to earth and understand that we still haven’t achieved the hardest part,\u201d he expressed during a press conference prior to the start of the Finals. \u201cOur work is far from over.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Spurs will begin this Wednesday the battle for the NBA title against the Knicks, in a series that will mark San Antonio’s return to the Finals with Wembanyama established as the franchise’s great leader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At just 22 years old, the Frenchman continues to write historic pages in the league. He became the youngest player since Tom Heinsohn, with the Boston Celtics in 1957, to lead his team in scoring during a run to the NBA Finals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the current postseason, Wembanyama is averaging 23.2 points, 10.8 rebounds, and 3.5 blocks per game, establishing himself as one of the most dominant figures in the entire league.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
