And one win. It didn’t want the two of this return home. But there was a number of other moments that this trip in Paris did worth remembering.
“This week was amazing,” he told Vembani. “I was just seeing my family. I’m not trying to be emotional, but everyone did their job to make this week incredible. “
The outcome of Saturday was not what he wanted: Indiana 136, San Antonio 98 was the final, with Tires Haliburton scored 28 for peisers. But at least one thing was at will of Vembanja, in a way. During the Olympics, he noticed that the French were very passionate about their national anthem and that when it was performed before sports events, fans tend to stifle the contractor by singing themselves.
It wasn’t exactly the case Thursday, when the Spars-Pacers series started. The French obviously heard Vembanja’s appeal in the next 48 hours; The voices from the stands on Saturday were much louder. There was still not exactly what he wanted, but it was better.

And there was more of that on that path.
“I can’t imagine how it was shout to come home and play,” Beck Spars Chris Paul He said. “I know he was so excited, but it’s a great responsibility. Every medium, every event, trying to see your family you don’t see so often. And Vic is one of those guys trying to sign every autograph. “
Vembanja dominated the opening on Thursday, scoring 30 points and 11 rebounds in the victory of San Antonio of 30 points. Peysers emphasized that they try to do a better job against him on Saturday, and the coach of Indiana Rick Carlajl thought that his team did just that.
He didn’t make a mistake. Peysers were aggressive and did not allow Vembani to enter any extended rhythm. But even Carlisle was a little surprised when he looked at the statistics after the game and saw that she ended up with 20 points and 12 rebounds.
“You don’t stop that guy,” Carlisle said. “He had 20 and 12.
Bumpers and Spars returned after 15 points behind the half time, brought briefly in the third, and then fell apart when Peysers escaped.
“At one point, they will look at this and understand what a treat is,” Pol. “We would like we won both matches for him.
It is not known when we play in France again. Would like to be part of matches in Paris every year, and although it would look like a safe bet NBA will one day return Spurs, the annual phenomenon could be unlikely.
He knows that, and that’s one of the reasons why he sought to nurture every second of this trip.
“I did my best to make this week special for my team, for my family, friends,” he said to Vembanja. “But people were still finding ways to surprise me, to make things feel like it was important to them, and I’m important to them. So that’s priceless. “
