Victor Wembanyama (aged 20, San Antonio Spurs) exploded in his debut game for Christmas in the National Basketball Association (NBA). However, he never won.

Wembley hit 42 points, 18 rebounds, four assists, and four blocks in an away game against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden in New York on Saturday (local time). He had six three-point shots, the most in his team. This is the first time that Wembley played in a Christmas match since his debut in the NBA last year. 스포츠토토

U.S. Yahoo Sports reported that Wembanyama's 42 points is the third-highest score ever recorded in his Christmas debut, and that he was three points short of the 45 points set by Will Chamberlain. In addition, Wembanyama was named the first player to score more than 40 points, 15 rebounds, and five or more 3-pointers in the Christmas match.
He performed just like the nickname "monster," but failed to lead his team to victory. The Knicks defeated the San Antonio Giants 117-114 on the day by banking on their outstanding performance. Three players, Mikal Bridges (41 points), Carl Anthony Towns (21 points), and Jaylon Brunson (20 points), scored more than 20 points.

Trailing 6-19 at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the team gave up an eight-point lead to San Antonio, but Bridges, Josh Hart and OG Anunovi made three consecutive 3-pointers to turn the game around 103-102. Wembley and Jeremy Sohen (21 points) struggled in San Antonio, but it was difficult to handle the "Nix volume war."

Yahoo Sports said, "It was the perfect Christmas starter for the Knicks fans at Madison Square Garden. They watched the plays of the world's best players and walked off the field celebrating the Knicks' victory."
