这位马刺球星在巴黎奥运会首战中统治了巴西队。
维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)是2024年巴黎奥运会中唯一一位效力于圣安东尼奥马刺队的球员。抛开爱国主义，马刺球迷都热切希望法国国家队能带回一枚奖牌。在以78-66战胜巴西队的比赛中，他们朝着这个目标迈进了一步。
文班亚马开局缓慢，但在接下来的比赛中，他在自己的同胞面前展现出了统治力。他全场比赛得到全场最高的19分、9个篮板、4次抢断和3次盖帽，投篮13投7中。身材矮小的巴西队在文班亚马的身高臂展面前显得十分挣扎，下半场他和鲁迪·戈贝尔(Rudy Gobert)联手锁死了禁区。
法国队开局慢热，可能是被巴黎观众的热情所震撼。巴西队则像一门加农炮般来势汹汹，用身体对抗给法国队的控球手施压，并在进攻端有效地转移球。莱昂纳多·迈恩德尔(Leonardo Meindl)命中了两记三分球，若昂·卡多佐(Joao Cardoso)隔扣了戈贝尔。在第一节以23-15领先的情况下，巴西队似乎要给法国队制造麻烦了。

在之前的热身赛中，法国队一直难以找到让文班亚马 frühzeitig 融入比赛的方法。这个问题在小组赛首场比赛中依然存在。第二节，文班亚马接管了比赛，带领法国队重回正轨。他们终于开始在低位寻找这位大个子，而他也用一些漂亮的背身单打动作，轻松得分。他和戈贝尔、尼古拉·巴图姆(Nicolas Batum)在防守端是主要的功臣，他们在半场阵地遏制了巴西队的进攻，并为球队创造了快攻的机会。两队都出现了不少失误，但法国队以20-19的微弱优势赢得了这场失误大战。
在维克托·文班亚马决定独自接管比赛之前，法国队一度落后巴西队12分。

“他有点紧张，”法国队主教练文森特·科莱(Vincent Collet)告诉《圣安东尼奥快报》的迈克·芬格(Mike Finger)。“在法国，每个人都在期待他。懂篮球的人知道他才20岁。但那些喜欢体育但不懂篮球的人呢？他们认为他是迈克尔·乔丹(Michael Jordan)。”
这是文班亚马奥运首秀的超级巨星级表现。他在第二节的表现彻底改变了比赛的走势。下半场，法国队继续发挥出色。在第四节，当巴西队似乎要卷土重来的时候，法国队依靠老将巴图姆锁定了胜局。他全场得到19分和2次抢断，并在最后一节命中了关键的三分球。
法国队将在北京时间7月30日星期二上午10:15的下一场比赛中对阵日本队。文班亚马和他的队友们将努力提高他们在小组赛中的排名，并为争夺奖牌做好准备。

Wembanyama leads France to victory in Olympics debut
The Spurs star dominated Brazil to kick off the Paris Olympics.
Victor Wembanyama is the lone San Antonio Spurs player in the 2024 Paris Olympics. Throwing aside patriotism, Spurs fans are rooting hard for the French national team to take home a medal. They took one step toward that goal in a 78-66 win over Brazil.
Wembanyama started slowly but dominated the rest of the game in front of his fellow countrymen. He finished with a game-high 19 points, 9 rebounds, 4 steals and 3 blocks while shooting 7-13 from the field. A shorter Brazilian squad struggled with Wembanyama’s length as he and Rudy Gobert locked down the paint in the second half.
France initially came out of the blocks slow, perhaps overwhelmed by the intensity of the Paris crowd. Brazil shot out like a gun, physically pressuring the French ball-handlers and moving the ball effectively on offense. Leonardo Meindl hit a pair of threes, and Joao Cardoso put Gobert on a poster. With a 23-15 lead in the first quarter, it looked like Brazil would give France a run for its money.

In their tune-up games, France struggled to find ways to get Wembanyama involved early. That problem persisted into its first group stage game. In the second quarter, Wembanyama took over and brought the French back. They finally started looking for the big man on the block, and he made things happen with some sweet post moves over smaller defenders. He, Gobert and Nicolas Batum were major difference makers on the defensive end, stymying Brazil in the half-court and creating advantages on the break. Both teams struggled with turnovers, but France narrowly won the giveaway battle 19-20.

“He was a little bit nervous,” French head coach, Vincent Collet told Mike Finger of the San Antonio Express-News. “In France, everyone waits for him. You have people who understand basketball that know he’s only 20 years old. But people that like sports but don’t know basketball? They think he’s Michael Jordan.”
It was a superstar performance from Wembanyama in his first Olympic game. His play in the second quarter completely changed the game’s trajectory. After halftime, France continued to play well. In the fourth quarter, when it seemed like Brazil might make a comeback, the French relied upon the veteran Batum to seal the game. He finished with 19 points and 2 steals while knocking down clutch threes in the final frame.
France will take on Japan in its next matchup on Tuesday, July 30th at 10:15 a.m. CT. Wembanyama and company will look to improve their standing in group play and put themselves in a position to win a medal.
