2024年11月23日星期六，在圣安东尼奥的弗罗斯特银行中心举行的马刺与金州勇士的NBA比赛下半场，圣安东尼奥马刺中锋维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)祝贺前锋哈里森·巴恩斯(Harrison Barnes)投篮得分。马刺以104-94击败了勇士。

五天之内，马刺队两胜西部联盟领头羊，其中还包括他们本赛季最大分差的逆转胜。

也许只有马刺队自己对这突如其来的三连胜并不感到惊讶。

“我认为这就是我们预期的结果，”维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)在马刺队周六以104-94击败金州勇士队后说道。

自11月15日与安东尼·戴维斯膝盖相撞后首次出战，文班亚马开局缓慢，但最终拿下25分、赛季最高的9次助攻和3次盖帽，引领马刺队取得了这场激动人心的胜利。

这场胜利紧随周四对阵犹他爵士队20分逆转取胜之后，而那场胜利之前两天，他们还战胜了俄克拉荷马城雷霆队。

马刺队在这场比赛中也上演了逆转好戏，他们在第三节一度落后17分。

哈里森·巴恩斯(Harrison Barnes)得到22分，连续第三场得分20+，而新秀斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle)也为马刺贡献了19分。

这场胜利使马刺队追平了上赛季的最长连胜纪录。他们的战绩也提升至9胜8负，这是自2020-21赛季11胜10负开局以来，他们在这个赛季的这个阶段首次胜率过半。

“我认为这些年轻球员应该为他们所展现出的进步和成熟度而受到赞扬，”代理教练米奇·约翰逊说道。“尤其是在我们对阵一些强队的比赛中。”

和之前的雷霆队一样，勇士队带着西部最佳战绩来到弗罗斯特银行中心。

也和雷霆队一样，勇士队(12胜4负)铩羽而归。

安德鲁·威金斯以20分领跑勇士队，但马刺队的防守——由卡斯尔领衔——很好地限制了勇士队的球星斯蒂芬·库里。

库里得到14分，出现3次失误，16投5中。

以下是马刺队周六这场胜利的三点总结，他们希望在周二的酋长杯比赛中客场挑战犹他爵士队时，能保持良好的状态：

文班在关键时刻挺身而出

在第三节结束时，文班亚马的复出之战并没有完全按照计划进行。

他得到了13分。12投5中。三分球7投2中。

他还出现了4次失误。

文班亚马用一个统治性的第四节抹去了所有这些，再次证明了为什么他是联盟中最令人垂涎的年轻球员之一。

这位20岁的球星一次又一次地做出精彩表现，在第四节砍下12分、5次助攻和2次盖帽。

2024年11月23日星期六，在圣安东尼奥的弗罗斯特银行中心举行的NBA比赛下半场，圣安东尼奥马刺中锋维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)试图绕过金州勇士队前锋德雷蒙德·格林(Draymond Green)上篮。马刺以104-94击败了勇士。

“他在第四节像个成熟的男人，”约翰逊说道。

文班亚马三分球10投2中，在比赛还剩6分55秒时，他顶着防守命中一记三分，将分差缩小到1分。

在比赛还剩3分14秒时，他又命中一记远距离三分，帮助马刺队领先6分。片刻之后，他绕过特雷斯·杰克逊-戴维斯，在篮筐处完成了一次盖帽。

在最后90秒内，当马刺队需要得分来压制勇士队时，文班亚马两次助攻切入的巴恩斯上篮得分。

“在每场比赛中，你总能找到一个属于自己的时刻，”巴恩斯说。“我认为文班在这方面比任何人都做得更好。他总能找到那个属于他的时刻。”

第四节的防守堪称完美

马刺队在第三节还剩1分54秒时落后17分。从那时起，他们打出一波40-13的进攻高潮，最终赢得了比赛。

他们的秘诀就是防守。

马刺队将火力强大的勇士队在第四节的得分限制在13分，将他们的投篮命中率限制在19投4中。金州勇士队在最后一节只投进了两个三分球。

“在第四节只让一支多次进入总决赛并在关键时刻表现出色球队的得分只有13分，我对球队的对抗性和凝聚力感到非常满意，”约翰逊说。“在我看来，这是我们迄今为止表现最好的一节。”

马刺的斯蒂芬战胜了勇士的斯蒂芬

正如本赛季大多数比赛一样，卡斯尔承担了防守对方最佳球员的任务。

在这场比赛中，这个人就是库里。

没错，这是勇士队背靠背的第二场比赛。没错，库里错过了一些他通常能命中的高难度投篮。

尽管如此，卡斯尔还是让库里打得很艰难。

“这是我主动要求的，”卡斯尔谈到每晚都要面对的防守强敌时说。“我觉得这就是他们选择我的部分原因。”

卡斯尔帮助将库里的投篮命中率限制在赛季最低的31.3%。

与此同时，卡斯尔自己也有一些库里式的精彩时刻。最精彩的时刻出现在比赛还剩3分48秒时，卡斯尔命中一记打破僵局的关键三分，帮助马刺队以93-90领先，并将优势保持到了最后。

“那是整场比赛最重要的一球，”克里斯·保罗说道。“他刚满20岁，却表现得像39岁一样老练。你只有通过努力才能拥有如此自信。他每天都在努力训练。”

3 takeaways as Wembanyama fuels comeback win over Warriors

San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama (1) congratulates forward Harrison Barnes (40) on making a basket during the second half of the Spurs NBA game with the Golden State Warriors at the Frost Bank Center on Saturday, Nov. 23, 2024 in San Antonio. The Spurs beat the Warriors 104-94.

In the span of five days, the Spurs have won two games against a team leading the Western Conference, sandwiched around the largest comeback victory of their season.

The only people not shocked by their sudden three-game winning streak might be the Spurs themselves.

“I think this is where we expected to be,” Victor Wembanyama said after the Spurs beat Golden State 104-94 on Saturday.

Playing for the first time since knocking knees with Anthony Davis on Nov. 15, Wembanyama shrugged off a slow start to finish with 25 points, a season-high nine assists and three blocks to spearhead the Spurs’ latest stirring win.

It came on the heels of a 20-point comeback victory against Utah on Thursday, which itself followed a rousing win over Oklahoma City two nights before that.

The Spurs had to stage another rally to beat the Warriors, this one from 17 points down in the third quarter.

Harrison Barnes scored 22 points, logging his third consecutive game of at least 20, while rookie Stephon Castle chipped in 19 for the Spurs.

With the triumph, the Spurs matched their longest winning streak from last season. They also improved to 9-8, their first time over .500 so late in the season since beginning the 2020-21 campaign 11-10.

“I think the young guys should get credit for some of the progression and maturity that they’ve shown,” acting coach Mitch Johnson said. “Especially against some of the teams that we’ve showed it against.”

Like Oklahoma City before them, the Warriors arrived at the Frost Bank Center with the best record in the Western Conference.

Like the Thunder, the Warriors (12-4) left knocked down a peg.

Andrew Wiggins led Golden State with 20 points, but the Spurs’ defense — spearheaded by Castle — did a good job against Warriors’ star Stephen Curry.

Curry finished with 14 points and three turnovers, and was 5 of 16 from the field.

Here are three takeaways from Saturday’s victory for the Spurs, who will hope to keep the good times rolling when they visit Utah on Tuesday in Emirates NBA Cup competition:

1. Wemby came alive with the game on the line

At the end of the third quarter, Wembanyama’s return game was not quite going to plan.

He had 13 points. He was 5 of 12 from the field. He was 2 of 7 from 3-point range.

He also had four turnovers.

Wembanyama erased all of that with a dominant fourth quarter that proved, once again, why he is one of the most coveted young players in the league.

The 20-year-old star made play after play after play after play, racking up 12 points, five assists and a pair of blocks in the frame.

“He was a grown man in the fourth quarter,” Johnson said.

Wembanyama was 2 of 10 from beyond the arc when he buried a contested 3-pointer to pull the Spurs within one point with 6:55 to go.

He hit another deep 3-pointer with 3:14 to go to put the Spurs up by six. Moments after that, he snuck in behind Trayce Jackson-Davis to swat a shot at the rim.

Twice in the final 90 seconds, with the Spurs needing buckets to keep the Warriors at bay, Wembanyama found a cutting Barnes for layups.

“Every game you can always just find a moment,” Barnes said. “And I think Vic does that better than anybody. Just finding that moment.”

2. The fourth quarter defense was stellar

The Spurs trailed by 17 points with 1:54 remaining in the third quarter. From there, they went on a 40-13 run to take the game.

The secret sauce was defense.

The Spurs held the high-powered Warriors to only 13 points in the fourth, limiting them to 4 of 19 shooting. Golden State made only a pair of 3-pointers in the final frame.

“Thirteen points in the fourth quarter versus a team that has been there many times and thrives in those moments, I was very happy with the physicality, with the connectivity,” Johnson said. “It was our best quarter to date, in my opinion.”

3. The Spurs’ Steph outdueled the Warriors’ Steph

As has been the case for most games this season, Castle drew a defensive assignment against the other team’s best player.

In this case, that was Curry.

Yes, it was the second night of a back-to-back for the Warriors. Yes, Curry missed some circus shots he normally makes.

Still, Castle made life hard on the other Steph.

“It’s something that I’ve asked for,” Castle said about the nightly murderer’s row of defensive assignments. “I feel like that was part of the reason they drafted me to come here.”

Castle helped hold Curry to a season-low shooting percentage of 31.3%.

In between, Castle had some Curry-like moments of his own. The biggest came with 3:48 left in the game, when Castle nailed a deep tie-breaking 3-pointer to put the Spurs up for good, 93-90.

“That was the biggest shot of the game,” Chris Paul said. “He’s just turning 20 and he acts like he’s 39. The only way that you can ever be that confident is if you put in the work. He does, day in and day out.”
