圣安东尼奥——在经历了三场比赛的休战后，马刺球星文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)开局状态慢热，但在比赛后期逐渐找到感觉，带领圣安东尼奥马刺队以104-94战胜金州勇士队，取得了本赛季第二大逆转胜利。
“我认为他在第四节的表现像个成熟的男人，”马刺队临时主教练米奇·约翰逊(Mitch Johnson)如此评价文班亚马。
三天前，马刺队曾20分落后逆转击败犹他爵士队。周六，他们再次上演逆转好戏，从17分的落后追回比分，击败了背靠背作战的金州勇士队。这是自2017年以来，马刺队首次连续两场比赛克服15分以上的落后劣势。
“我的身体节奏确实找到了，”文班亚马说道。“上半场在体能方面有点难以适应。我正在努力根据需要切换状态。强硬的接球，快速的移动，不持球，但也把握时机，自信地出手，良好的脚步和充分的投篮准备。”
本场比赛，文班亚马砍下全场最高的25分，外加7个篮板、9次助攻和3次盖帽。
其中一次盖帽点燃了第四节马刺队的一波进攻高潮。在1分40秒的时间里，文班亚马得到7分，期间还完成了一次抢断，帮助圣安东尼奥将6分的落后缩小到1分。
在第三节还剩1分55秒时，马刺队落后17分，随后他们打出一波40-13的进攻高潮，最终锁定胜局。金州勇士队遭遇了本赛季最大比分的被逆转。
“这是一个很好的教训，它教会了我们如何在取得足够领先优势后保持并掌控比赛的节奏，”勇士队后卫斯蒂芬·库里(Stephen Curry)说道。
文班亚马将近一半的得分（12分）来自第四节，他还送出了5次助攻和2次盖帽，带领马刺队在快攻得分上以13-2的优势结束了比赛。
“他绝对勇于承担责任，”约翰逊说道。“我认为他的基本功，尤其是在今晚的比赛后期，非常出色。当他做到这一点时，对手将很难适应。”
金州勇士队现在对此深有体会。文班亚马比赛开始时9投3中，得到9分，还有2次失误。这位20岁的球员在前五次出手中都选择了三分球，直到第一节还剩2分19秒时才完成第一次两分球命中。
“维克（文班的昵称）的自信从未动摇，这很酷，”老将控球后卫克里斯·保罗(Chris Paul)说道。“他很自信。他知道下一球会进。维克的表现太棒了，尤其是考虑到这是他复出后的第一场比赛。他的防守，他的投篮。他今晚所做的一切都是为了赢球。他简直是个外星人。他是如此独特。”
半场结束时，文班亚马出手了6记三分球，只命中了2个。他在第三节减少了出手次数，3投2中。
“停止投篮？”文班亚马开玩笑地问道。“永远不会。”
这位法国球员无所畏惧的态度在第四节得到了回报，当时圣安东尼奥落后10分进入第四节。本赛季14场比赛中，文班亚马已经8次得分超过20分。
周六晚上的比赛是文班亚马自11月15日以来首次亮相，当时他右膝受伤缺席了三场比赛。在文班亚马缺席的第一场比赛中，马刺队于11月16日负于达拉斯独行侠队，之后他们连续战胜了俄克拉荷马城雷霆队和犹他爵士队。
在对阵勇士队的比赛中，文班亚马连续第13场比赛送出多次盖帽，这是本赛季所有球员中最长的连续盖帽纪录。
“他太棒了，盖帽、干扰投篮，在内线就是一道屏障，”金州勇士队主教练史蒂夫·科尔(Steve Kerr)如此评价文班亚马。“他和整个球队的防守表现都令人印象深刻。”

Victor Wembanyama shows rust early, rallies Spurs in return
SAN ANTONIO – Fresh off a three-game layoff, Spurs star Victor Wembanyama exhibited rust early, only to catch a groove late in pushing San Antonio to its second-largest comeback win of the season, a 104-94 triumph over the Golden State Warriors.
“I thought he was a grown man in the fourth quarter,” Spurs interim coach Mitch Johnson said of Wembanyama.
Three days after rallying from 20 down to defeat the Utah Jazz, the Spurs bounced back Saturday from a 17-point deficit to shock the Warriors, who were playing the second night of a back-to-back set. San Antonio’s performance marked the first time since 2017 that it overcame 15-plus-point deficits in consecutive contests.
“I did find my rhythm physically,” Wembanyama said. “It was a little hard to come back in terms of conditioning in the first half. There’s a switch I’m trying to flip on demand. Strong catches, quick moves, not holding the ball, but also taking my time, taking shots with confidence, good feet and good preparation for the shot.”
Wembanyama scored a game-high 25 points with 7 rebounds, 9 assists and 3 blocks.
One of those blocks kick-started a fourth-quarter stretch in which Wembanyama scored seven points – with a steal sandwiched in between – as San Antonio chopped a six-point deficit to one over a span of 1 minute, 40 seconds.
The Spurs trailed by 17 points with 1:55 remaining in the third quarter before embarking on a 40-13 run to close the contest. Golden State suffered its largest blown lead of the season.
“It was a good learning lesson of capturing and maintaining momentum when you’ve done enough to separate yourself,” Warriors guard Stephen Curry said.
Wembanyama racked up nearly half his total scoring output (12 points) in the fourth quarter, adding five assists and two blocks to lead a Spurs squad that finished the game outscoring the Warriors 13-2 in fast-break points.
“He embraces moments for sure,” Johnson said. “I thought his fundamentals, especially late tonight, were elite. When he does that, it’ll be scary to adjust to.”
Golden State now knows firsthand. Wembanyama started the contest hitting 3 of 9 shots for nine points with two turnovers. The 20-year-old hoisted 3-pointers on his first five attempts of the night and didn’t connect on a 2-point field goal until 2:19 remained in the first quarter.
“Vic’s confidence never wavers, and it’s so dope to see,” veteran point guard Chris Paul said. “He’s confident. He knows the next one’s going in. Vic was huge, just being his first game back. The defense, the shots. The plays that he made tonight were all winning plays. He’s an alien. He’s just so unique.”
By intermission, Wembanyama had taken six 3-pointers with just two makes. He took fewer shots in the third quarter, connecting on 2 of 3 attempts.
“Stop shooting?” Wembanyama jokingly asked. “Never.”
The Frenchman’s fearless approach paid dividends in a fourth quarter that San Antonio entered trailing by 10 points. Wembanyama has put together eight 20-point outings this season in 14 appearances.
Saturday night marked Wembanyama’s first live action since Nov. 15, when he suffered a bruised right knee that sidelined him for three contests. The Spurs managed to reel off back-to-back wins over Oklahoma City and Utah after falling to Dallas on Nov. 16 in Wembanyama’s first game out of the lineup.
Against the Warriors, Wembanyama produced his 13th consecutive game with multiple blocks, the longest streak by any player this season.
“He was amazing, blocking shots, thwarting others, just being a presence in the paint,” Golden State coach Steve Kerr said of Wembanyama. “It was an impressive performance by him and by the whole team, defensively.”
