噢，文班亚马妈妈，马刺队回来了！
距离圣安东尼奥马刺队开启新的 NBA 赛季只有不到 24 小时了，所有人的目光都集中在维克多·文班亚马身上！这位二年级现象级球员将在新赛季中统治球场，这个赛季注定会带来更多精彩、激动人心的时刻和令人瞠目结舌的亮点。

回顾上赛季这个时候，球迷和分析师对文班亚马寄予厚望。围绕着他有可能成为每个人都相信的天赋异禀球员，有很多议论纷纷。然而，不确定性依然存在。人们质疑他瘦弱的体型和高大的身材能否承受 82 场 NBA 比赛的身体压力。
维克多·文班亚马获得了媒体评审团全部 99 张第一名的选票，这使他成为自 2015-16 赛季卡尔-安东尼·唐斯(Karl-Anthony Towns)以来首位全票当选 NBA 年度最佳新秀的球员。pic.twitter.com/cWcjdXRrUD

时间快进到五月，文班不仅回应了那些质疑，还让质疑者闭上了嘴。他以全票当选年度最佳新秀，击败了他的 22 岁新秀对手切特·霍姆格伦(Chet Holmgren)。文班亚马在新秀赛季的表现超出了预期，证明了他属于联盟的精英球员。他在 NBA 一些最盛大的舞台上奉献了出色的表现，经常与联盟的顶级球星正面交锋。整个赛季，他创造了无数个历史性时刻——数量之多，以至于无法用一段话来概括。
要深入了解文班新秀赛季的辉煌，请查看我们网站上的“每天都是文班日”标签，我们在那里记录了他令人难忘的夜晚。如果你更喜欢视觉享受，那就不要错过这段 8 分钟的精彩集锦，其中收录了他上赛季的 40 佳球：
周三晚上，NBA 赛程安排得很满，有 20 支球队参加比赛。然而，马刺队不会打比赛，所以如果你像我一样对其他比赛不太感兴趣，我有一个完美的推荐。花 40 分钟时间观看新一集的传球：维克多·文班亚马的新秀赛季。
这一集提供了文班新秀赛季前所未见的幕后花絮。它深入探讨了一些有趣的话题，包括他对艺术的热爱，以及最引人注目的，他作为一名篮球运动员的经历。有一句话很突出，那就是文班对身高的反思：
“在篮球运动中，身高是一种优势。但在成为最优秀球员方面，身高并不是优势。移动你的身体更难；根据我的经验，这不是优势。”
这种心态揭示了文班亚马的雄心壮志——不是成为最优秀的球员之一，而是要成为最优秀的球员。随着我们进入他的第二个 NBA 赛季，预计他的目标和雄心壮志会越来越大，这让他成为每晚必看的球员。
美国前总统巴拉克·奥巴马(Barack Obama)也分享了他对文班亚马独特存在的看法。在最近一集的*“年轻人和三个火枪手”*节目中，奥巴马声称：
“当文班在场上时，你很难将目光从他身上移开。”

文班亚马是该奖项的早期热门人选，这已经不是什么秘密了。拉斯维加斯的博彩公司已经将他列为领跑者，大多数分析师也同意这一预测。雅虎体育的 NBA 专家凯文·奥康纳(Kevin O’Connor) 甚至更进一步，大胆地表示文班可能会在未来十年内统治这个奖项。
在未来的十年里，这将是维克多·文班亚马的囊中之物。本世纪还没有出现过比他更具变革性的防守者。
对于马刺队和文班亚马来说，这个赛季注定会更具竞争力。这位年轻的球星反思了球队心态的转变，声称球队“已经打开了开关”。这种态度上的转变让马刺球迷对即将到来的赛季感到兴奋，因为他们有了更高的目标和更大的期望。
维克多·文班亚马表示，圣安东尼奥马刺队（包括球员和工作人员）在今年夏天都“打开了开关”，如果他们能够像他认为的那样取得进步，那么他们很快就会变得“非常出色”。 #PorVida #NBA pic.twitter.com/ItHelPj3oa

All eyes are set on Victor Wembanyama’s second act
Oh Mama Wembanyama, The Spurs Are Back!
We’re just over 24 hours away from the San Antonio Spurs tipping off their new NBA season, and everyone’s attention is on Victor Wembanyama! The sophomore phenom is set to dominate the court in a season that promises to deliver even more excitement, electrifying moments, and jaw-dropping highlights.

Looking back to this time last season, fans and analysts had sky-high expectations for Wembanyama. There was a lot of buzz surrounding his potential to become the freakishly talented player everyone believed he could be. However, uncertainty lingered. People questioned whether his slender frame and towering height could endure the physical toll of an 82-game NBA season.

Fast forward to May, and not only did Wemby answer those doubts—he silenced them. He claimed the Rookie of the Year award unanimously, edging out his 22-year-old rookie rival, Chet Holmgren. Wembanyama shattered expectations as a rookie, proving he belonged among the league’s elite. He delivered standout performances on some of the NBA’s biggest stages, often going toe-to-toe with the league’s top stars. Throughout the season, he had countless historic moments—so many that trying to summarize them in a single paragraph would be impossible.
To dive deeper into Wemby’s rookie brilliance, check out the “Everyday is Wembsday” tab on our website, where we documented his memorable nights. If you’re more of a visual person, don’t miss this must-see 8-minute highlight reel of his top 40 plays from last season:
On Wednesday nights, the NBA schedule is packed, with 20 teams in action. However, the Spurs won’t be playing, so if you’re like me and aren’t too interested in other games, I’ve got the perfect recommendation. Take 40 minutes to watch the new episode of Pass the Rock: Inside Victor Wembanyama’s Rookie Season.
This episode offers never-before-seen, behind-the-scenes footage from Wemby’s rookie campaign. It delves into intriguing topics, including his passion for art and, most notably, his experience as a basketball player. One quote that stands out is Wemby’s reflection on his height:
“In basketball, being tall is an advantage. It’s not an advantage when it comes to being the best. It’s harder to move your body; in my experience, it’s not an advantage.”
This mindset reveals Wembanyama’s ambition—not to be one of the best but to become the best. As we enter his second NBA season, expect his goals and ambitions to grow, making him a must-watch player every night.
The former President of the United States, Barack Obama, also shared his thoughts on Wembanyama’s unique presence. In a recent episode of The Young Man and The Three, Obama claimed:
“It’s hard to take your eyes off Wembanyama when he’s on the court.”
And here’s Barak Obama admitting he has to watch Victor Wembanyama every time he is on the court, #porvida fans… #nba #sanantonio #gospursgo https://t.co/jHJaponJCh pic.twitter.com/MGNq9c82Ih

Bleacher Report is always on point with NBA content, and their latest Hero Ball video explores Wemby’s dominance. The feature hints that the young star could be on track to secure Defensive Player of the Year honors in the 2024-25 season.

It’s no secret that Wembanyama is the early favorite for this award. Sportsbooks in Vegas have already pegged him as the frontrunner, and most analysts agree with that prediction. Yahoo Sports’ NBA expert Kevin O’Connor even went a step further, boldly suggesting that Wemby could dominate this award for the next decade.
This will be Victor Wembanyama’s award to lose for the next decade. There has not been a more transformative defender this century.
This season promises to be a much more competitive one for both the Spurs and Wembanyama. The young star reflected on the shift in the team’s mindset, claiming the team “Flipped the switch.” This change in approach makes the upcoming season exciting for Spurs fans, with higher stakes and bigger expectations.
