NBA 在星期一下午宣布了 2023-24 年度最佳新秀阵容。在令人震惊的时刻，马刺队的文班亚马发现自己的名字在首发阵容中。
对于联盟的新鲜出炉的年度最佳新秀来说，这个结果当然让人预料到了，他在本月早些时候以 NBA 媒体成员的全体投票赢得该奖项。
20 岁的文班亚马在星期一以同样的方式受到赞扬，他成为第八位获得最佳新秀阵容一队桂冠的马刺球员，也是自 2012 年的科怀·伦纳德以来第一位获得该奖项的球员。
文班亚马在回到法国的家后收到了这个消息，自年度最佳新秀奖宣布以来，他已经在那里开始为今夏晚些时候的巴黎奥运会做准备。
“我有一种能量让我想要更多，”文班亚马在月初庆祝他年度最佳新秀胜利的仪式上说道。“但是我觉得你有时必须善待自己，欣赏你所做的事情。你必须每天都想要它，但你也必须享受这一刻，因为我已经经历了很多伟大的事情。”
其他进入最佳新秀阵容一队的马刺球员有蒂姆·邓肯、大卫·罗宾逊、托尼·帕克、威利·安德森、加里·尼尔和格雷格“凯迪拉克”安德森。
另有四位马刺新秀曾获得二队的提名：马努·吉诺比利、肖恩·埃利奥特、德胡安·布莱尔，以及去年的杰里米·索汉。
星期一下午公布的其他 2023-24 年度最佳新秀一队成员包括俄克拉荷马城的切特·霍姆格伦、夏洛特的布兰登·米勒、迈阿密的杰米·哈克兹小将和金州勇士队的布兰登·波德耶姆斯基。
文班亚马和霍姆格伦是唯二获得 99 张一队完整选票的球员。
二队包括达拉斯的德里克·利夫利二世、休斯顿的阿门·汤普森、犹他州的凯翁特·乔治、俄克拉荷马城的凯森·华莱士和孟菲斯的 GG 杰克逊二世。
对于文班亚马来说，星期一的公告标志着他在 NBA 史上最成功的首秀运动之后又获得了一大堆认可。
作为去年的选秀状元，这位 7 尺 3 中锋参加了 71 场比赛，以平均 21.4 分、10.6 个篮板和 3.6 次盖帽领跑联盟的新秀班级。
他是继 1985-86 赛季的马努特·波尔之后，第二位在 NBA 中盖帽领先的菜鸟球员，也是自 1992-93 赛季的沙奎尔·奥尼尔以来第一位盖帽加抢断超过 300 的球员。
文班亚马是有史以来联盟历史上最年轻的记录 20-20 比赛的球员，最年轻的记录 5x5 比赛的球员，最年轻的记录 40-20 比赛的球员，以及最年轻的记录三双盖帽以及同一个赛季助攻的三双比赛的球员。
文班亚马很可能还没有停止接受表彰。
NBA 将在星期二公布其最佳防守阵容。作为本年度最佳防守球员投票中明尼苏达州的鲁迪·戈贝尔的有力竞争者，文班亚马似乎是成为 NBA 历史上第一位获得最佳防守一阵提名的菜鸟球员的不二人选。
当联盟在星期三公布其全 NBA 阵容时，文班亚马有望获得至少几票，尽管可能不足以作为新秀进入前 15 名球员之列。
尽管获得了大量的个人荣誉，文班亚马表示，他对马刺队在整个赛季中作为一个群体所表现出的成长最为自豪。
“整个赛季我都在想很多事情，”文班亚马在离开法国之前说。“没有比为未来而努力以及以领导者的身份指明方向并展示我们在整个赛季中的进步更大的事情了。”

As expected, Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama highlights All-Rookie team

The NBA announced the 2023-24 All-Rookie teams Monday afternoon. In a moment that stopped no presses, the Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama found his name on the first team.
That outcome was certainly expected for the league’s freshly stamped Rookie of the Year, who earned that award earlier this month in a unanimous vote of NBA media members.
The 20-year-old Wembanyama was similarly honored Monday, when he became the eighth Spurs player to earn first-team All-Rookie laurels and the first since Kawhi Leonard in 2012.
Wembanyama received the news while back home in France, where he has returned since the Rookie of the Year announcement to begin preparations for the Paris Olympics later this summer.
“I have this energy that pushes me to want more,” Wembanyama said at the ceremony celebrating his Rookie of the Year win earlier this month. “But I feel like you have to treat yourself sometimes and appreciate what you’ve done. You have to want it every day but also have to enjoy the moment, because I’m already living through great things.”
The other Spurs to land on a first-team All-Rookie squad are Tim Duncan, David Robinson, Tony Parker, Willie Anderson, Gary Neal and Greg “Cadillac” Anderson.
Four other Spurs rookies once received second-team mention: Manu Ginobili, Sean Elliott, DeJuan Blair and, last year, Jeremy Sochan.
The rest of the 2023-24 All-Rookie first team released Monday included Oklahoma City’s Chet Holmgren, Charlotte’s Brandon Miller, Miami’s Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Golden State’s Brandon Podziemski.
Wembanyama and Holmgren were the only players to receive a full 99 first-team votes.
The second team consisted of Dallas’ Dereck Lively II, Houston’s Amen Thompson, Utah’s Keyonte George, OKC’s Cason Wallace and Memphis’ GG Jackson II.
For Wembanyama, Monday’s announcement amounted to another heap of recognition following one of the most productive inaugural campaigns in NBA annals.
Last year’s No. 1 overall draft pick, the 7-foot-3 center appeared in 71 games, leading the league’s rookie class with averages of 21.4 points, 10.6 rebounds and 3.6 blocks.
He was the second rookie to lead the NBA in blocks, joining Manute Bol in 1985-86, and the first to surpass a combined 300 blocks plus steals since Shaquille O’Neal in 1992-93.
Wembanyama was the youngest player in league history to record a 20-20 game, the youngest to record a 5x5 game, the youngest to post a 40-20 game and the youngest to post a triple-double involving blocks and another involving assists in the same season.
It is likely Wembanyama is not finished being honored.
The NBA is set to announce its All-Defensive teams Tuesday. As a strong runner-up to Minnesota’s Rudy Gobert in the this year’s Defensive Player of the Year balloting, Wembanyama seems a shoo-in to become the first rookie in NBA history to earn a first-team All-Defense mention.
Wembanyama is expected to garner at least a few votes when the league unveils its All-NBA teams Wednesday, though probably not enough to land among the top 15 players as a rookie.
Despite the onslaught of individual honors, Wembanyama said he was most proud of the growth the Spurs showed as a group throughout the season.
“I had many things on my mind the whole season,” Wembanyama said before departing for France. “There was nothing bigger than the work (put in) for the future and also showing the way as a leader and showing our improvement throughout the season.”
