肖恩·埃利奥特迎来了他的新搭档。
今年夏天，马刺队进行了几项引人注目的调整，而这不仅仅体现在球员阵容上。长期担任马刺队比赛直播解说员的比尔·兰德（Bill Land）最近宣布退休，因为他将继续与血癌作斗争。尽管许多人可能预期由场边记者兼兰德替补的丹·韦斯（Dan Weiss）接替这一职位，但实际上肖恩·埃利奥特身边将会出现一张新面孔：雅各布·托比（Jacob Tobey），他此前任职于丹佛的九号新闻台（9NEWS）。
根据马刺队官方新闻稿：
圣安东尼奥马刺队今天宣布聘请雅各布·托比担任新的电视直播解说员。托比将与经验丰富的评论员肖恩·埃利奥特一起在马刺比赛的解说席上工作，填补最近宣布退休的长期解说员比尔·兰德留下的空缺。托比将在季前赛开始时首次亮相。
“我们很高兴欢迎雅各布加入马刺大家庭，”马刺队广播高级总监迈克·基奇里洛（Mike Kickirillo）说。“他对比赛的热情，加上他的广播经验和全面的体育知识，使他成为我们团队的完美人选。我们相信，马刺球迷将很快喜欢上雅各布的活力和富有洞察力的评论。”
托比最近一次是在丹佛的九号新闻台担任周末体育主播，从2020年开始。除了在九号新闻台的工作之外，托比还曾担任多个网络的比赛直播解说员，包括福克斯体育和太平洋十二校联盟体育台。
托比出生于马萨诸塞州的桑威奇，2018年毕业于萨福克大学，期间曾在波士顿凯尔特人队和新英格兰爱国者队实习。在前往丹佛之前，他曾在塔尔萨的KJRH电视台担任周末体育主播，报道俄克拉荷马大学、俄克拉荷马州立大学、塔尔萨大学和俄克拉荷马雷霆队的比赛。
除了解说席之外，托比还是一名积极倡导美洲原住民传统文化的代表人物，代表着马什皮万帕诺亚格部落。他喜欢与他人分享他的家族文化，并在当地场所担任歌手和吉他手进行表演。
托比将为广播界带来一张年轻、新鲜的面孔，但他对NBA并不陌生，因为他之前曾作为体育主播报道过丹佛掘金队和俄克拉荷马雷霆队的比赛。考虑到兰德深受人们喜爱，他需要付出巨大的努力才能不负众望，但他肯定会找到自己的方式，并以自己的风格赢得马刺球迷的喜爱。我们很快就会有机会了解他，马刺队的首场季前赛即将在10月7日星期一打响。
你可以从下方九号新闻台提供的视频中了解更多关于托比的信息，如果你还没有关注他，请务必在推特上关注他，并给他一个热情的马刺式欢迎。欢迎来到圣安东尼奥，雅各布！

Spurs announce Jacob Tobey as new TV play-by-play announcer
Sean Elliott has his new broadcasting partner.
Several notable changes were made to the Spurs’ over the summer, and not just to the roster. Long-time Spurs play-by-play announcer Bill Land recently announced his retirement as he continues his ongoing battle with blood cancer, and while many probably expected side-line reporter and his backup, Dan Weiss, to fill the role, there will actually be a new face next to Sean Elliott: Jacob Tobey, previously of 9NEWS in Denver.
Per the Spurs’ official press release:
The San Antonio Spurs today announced their hiring of Jacob Tobey as the new TV play-by-play announcer. Tobey will join veteran commentator Sean Elliott in the broadcast booth for Spurs games, filling the role previously held by longtime announcer Bill Land who recently announced his retirement. Tobey will make his debut when the preseason tips off.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Jacob to the Spurs family,” said Mike Kickirillo, Spurs Senior Director of Broadcast. “His passion for the game, combined with his broadcast experience and holistic sports knowledge, make him a perfect fit for our team. We’re confident that Spurs fans will quickly embrace Jacob’s energy and insightful commentary.”
Most recently, Tobey served as a weekend sports anchor at 9NEWS in Denver since 2020. In addition to his work for 9NEWS, Tobey has also been a play-by-play announcer for various networks, including Fox Sports and PAC-12 Network.
A native of Sandwich, Massachusetts, Tobey graduated from Suffolk University in 2018 after completing internships with the Boston Celtics and New England Patriots. Prior to his role in Denver, he served as the weekend sports anchor at KJRH-TV in Tulsa where he covered the University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, University of Tulsa and Oklahoma City Thunder.
Beyond the broadcast booth, Tobey is a passionate advocate for his Native American heritage, representing the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe. He enjoys sharing his family’s culture with others and performing as a singer and guitarist at local venues.
Tobey will bring a young, fresh face to the broadcasting world but is not new to the NBA scene as he previously covered the Denver Nuggets and Oklahoma City Thunder as a sports anchor. He’ll have big shoes to fill considering how beloved Land is, but he will certainly find his own way and endear himself to Spurs fans with his own style. We will get our first chance to get to know him very soon, with the Spurs’ first preseason game just around the corner on Monday, Oct. 7.
You can learn more about Tobey from the video below, courtesy of 9NEWS, and if you haven’t already, be sure to follow him on Twitter X and give him a warm Spurs welcome. Welcome to San Antonio, Jacob!
