一口气看完这么多篮球比赛几乎是不可能的（强调“几乎”）。
这是我七年来第一次到NBA夏季联赛现场观赛，我观看了三场比赛的部分内容，其中最过瘾的是看了一场马刺队的比赛：他们以83-77战胜了波特兰开拓者队。
我和朋友迈克在前往托马斯&麦克中心的路上遭遇了一场突如其来的暴雨，结果到达座位上时，浑身湿透，好在场馆空调给力——这让我想起了在圣安东尼奥生活的日子。在体育馆大厅里，我看到了各种各样的球衣，包括一件詹姆斯·怀斯曼(James Wiseman)的活塞球衣，它消失在人群中，就像这位年轻球员的职业生涯一样。
比赛之间的周转时间在8-10分钟之间，这对观众来说可能是有利的，但在比赛结束后，座位上的人们就会开始疯狂地移动。
76人 vs. 活塞（第一场）
- 下半场发生了很多事情，但我除了贾里德·麦凯恩(Jared McCain)（费城）和罗恩·霍兰德(Ron Holland)（底特律）之外，其他球员都没认出来。我真的很高兴圣安东尼奥选择了卡斯尔而不是霍兰德。
勇士 vs. 太阳（第三场）
- 金州勇士队的布兰登·波德齐姆斯基(Brandon Podziemski)看起来是场上最好的球员，他打出了令人印象深刻的全能数据。
- 比赛前，菲尼克斯太阳队的球员们在热身投篮时即兴上演了一场扣篮大赛，这让球迷们大饱眼福。
马刺 vs. 开拓者（第二场）
- 这场是重头戏……至少从马刺球迷的角度来看是！
- 我坐在上层看台，从球员们每次得分时球迷们频繁喊出的姓氏（西索科！马萨尔斯基！卡斯尔！），可以看出马刺球迷还真不少。
- 以下是一些片段（以《NBA 2K》游戏中的高位边线视角呈现），突出了斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle)的出色表现，以及马刺队在83-77获胜比赛中的其他精彩瞬间。
第二轮秀哈里森·英格拉姆(Harrison Ingram)在比赛初期就投进了一记漂亮的急停跳投。

这次突破上篮赢得了托马斯&麦克中心观众的阵阵喝彩。

卡斯尔在运球后，将球传到底角，助攻队友命中三分，这球传得真漂亮，惩罚了对方的防守失误。

卡斯尔在篮下、中距离和三分线外都有得分进账，看看这记急停三分。

卡斯尔在这里就像慢动作版的德阿隆·福克斯(De’Aaron Fox)——随心所欲地到达他想去的地方。

后卫贾马里·布耶(Jamaree Bouyea)延续了来自西海岸联盟的默默无闻的球员（旧金山大学）在这一级别比赛中表现出色的近期历史。布耶（发音为boo-yay）一个漂亮的体前变向，然后将球轻巧地分给顺下的马刺球员，助攻后者上篮得分。

另一个例子是卡斯尔在突破上篮时展现出的高级节奏感，他等到防守球员起跳后才出手，造成对方犯规，打成2+1：

他将球巧妙地传给马萨尔斯基，后者投篮不中，但卡斯尔抢下进攻篮板，顶着防守球员的对抗，将球补进，再次打成2+1：

这个周末，这座不夜城里除了无数其他活动外，还有一场“感恩而死”乐队的致敬演唱会，到当天晚上结束时，我们周围的很多区域都空无一人了。
这是体育迷兼内向人士的梦想。 pic.twitter.com/1VbJkygtJr

虽然卡斯尔因预防起见将缺席剩余的夏季联赛比赛，但在即将到来的奥运会之前，还有 plenty of action 比赛可以满足马刺球迷的胃口。享受比赛吧！

Sights and sounds from Day 2 of the Summer League
It’s ALMOST possible to watch too much basketball in one sitting (emphasis on ALMOST).
In my first trip to the NBA’s Summer League in seven years, I was able to catch parts of three matchups, including the pleasure of catching a full game of Spurs action: a 83-77 win over the Portland Trail Blazers.
My friend, Mike, and I were pelted by a sudden thunderstorm on the way into the Thomas and Mack Center and ended up sopping wet in our seats once inside with plentiful AC — a reminder of what my days were like living in San Antonio. Seeing the random jersey throughout the concourse, including one James Wiseman Pistons uni, which disappeared into a crowd just like the young player’s career.
The turnaround time between games was between 8-10 minutes, which likely benefitted the viewing audience, but made for a frantic amount of seat movement after the games were done.
Sixers vs. Pistons (Game 1)
- A lot transpired in the second half of action, but I couldn’t make out many of the players other than Jared McCain (Philadelphia) and Ron Holland (Detroit). I am really glad San Antonio went with Castle over Holland.
Warriors vs. Suns (Game 3)
- Golden State’s Brandon Podziemski looked like the best player on the court and put up an impressive all-around stat line.
- The Phoenix players turned the lay-up line into an impromptu dunk contest before the game, which was a hit with the fans.
Spurs vs. Blazers (Game 2)
- The main event… at least from Pounders’ perspectives!
- From my perch in the upper deck, there were quite a bit of Spurs’ fans as evidenced by the frequent yelling of players’ last names as they made plays (CISSOKO! MASSALSKI! CASTLE!)
- Here are some clips (presented in the high sideline 2K camera angle) to highlight just how strong Castle’s performance was along with a smattering of other Spurs’ action in the 83-77 win.
Second round pick Harrison Ingram had a nice pull-up early on.

Nathan Mensah crashed the offensive boards with abandon to get this nice putback.

This drive and lay-up evoked an appreciative response from the Thomas and Mack crowd.

This was a nice find by Castle to the far corner at the top of the dribble-bounce to penalize the cheating defense.

Scoring for Castle happened on three levels (rim, mid-range, and behind the arc) here with the pull-up three.
So. Much. Castle pic.twitter.com/XU1DCxH65P

Castle resembled a slowed-down version of De’Aaron Fox here - getting to wherever he needed to go on his terms.
Hace mucho Castello . Great deliberate pace pic.twitter.com/poyobGGTld

Guard Jamaree Bouyea continues the recent history of unheralded players to compete well at this level from the West Coast Conference (USF). Bouyea (boo-yay) had a nice step through and a sleek drop-off to a diving Spur for a lay-up.

Another example of Castle’s advanced pacing on his dribble-drives, he waited for the defender to launch himself before gathering on the and-1:

After a really smooth pocket pass to Massalski, he followed up the center’s miss with a nice and-1 after absorbing contact:

On a weekend where there was a Grateful Dead tribute concert among numerous other events in the city that never sleeps, we ended up having a number of sections to ourselves by the end of the evening.

Though Castle has been shut down for the rest of the Summer League as a precaution, there’s still plenty of action to satiate Pounders’ appetite before the upcoming Olympics. Enjoy!
