马刺在对阵勇士的最后几分钟里表现出色，决胜阵容中特雷·琼斯(Tre Jones)顶替了克里斯·保罗(Chris Paul)。
在比赛还剩 4 分 34 秒时，特雷·琼斯、斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle)、朱利安·尚帕涅(Julian Champagnie)、哈里森·巴恩斯(Harrison Barnes)和文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)组成的阵容登场，马刺以 16-4 的比分力压勇士。教练组是否在这个阵容中发现了什么特别之处？
玛丽莲·杜宾斯基(Marilyn Dubinski): 很有可能！特雷·琼斯顶替克里斯·保罗完成比赛有些令人意外，但既然这个阵容有效，就没有理由拆散它，这也同时提醒我们，琼斯过去和未来都是一名优秀的控球后卫。总的来说，这套阵容在攻防两端以及各个位置上都取得了合适的平衡，这是终结比赛所需要的。根据不同球员的比赛状态，一些球员可以替换进出，但这套阵容绝对是未来值得牢记的蓝图。
杰森·戈麦斯(Jesus Gomez): 我觉得与其说是找到了一套以特雷·琼斯为核心的优秀决胜阵容，不如说是依靠了现有的最佳四人组：斯蒂芬·卡斯尔、朱利安·尚帕涅、哈里森·巴恩斯和文班亚马。到目前为止，这四个人在本赛季表现出色，在样本量有限的情况下，每百回合净胜对手 32 分。这四个人加上克里斯·保罗的阵容，也就是新的首发阵容，净胜分达到了 30 分，这表明并非特雷·琼斯让这套阵容变成了赢家，它本身就已经是一套赢家阵容了。
球队可以在没有克里斯·保罗的情况下完成比赛，这固然是件好事，尽管保罗在关键时刻表现出色。但现在的问题是，当德文·瓦塞尔(Devin Vassell)和杰里米·索汉(Jeremy Sochan)复出后，当这套看似运转良好的四人组可能被拆散时，会发生什么呢？
比尔·黄(Bill Huan): 这绝对是一个惊喜，但请记住，我们看到的样本量还不到 5 分钟，而且马刺在这套阵容上场之前就已经开始反击了。我确信如果用保罗换下琼斯，效果也会一样好，甚至更好，考虑到保罗在这场比赛中的重要性。但我也同意杰森的观点——这支球队能够在没有“控球之神”的情况下终结比赛，这无疑是一个好兆头。在得出任何重大结论之前，我们肯定需要更多地观察这套阵容。
更重要的是，当瓦塞尔和索汉回归时，情况会如何发展，这将非常有趣。我更有信心瓦塞尔凭借他的投射能力可以无缝融入任何阵容，但如果马刺继续依靠空间型阵容取得成功，索汉将如何融入球队，这是一个真正的问题。
德文·伯德桑(Devon Birdsong): 在样本量如此之小，而且关键球员仍然缺阵的情况下，我不愿下任何定论，但我怀疑这是否会成为常规的决胜阵容。虽然看到特雷·琼斯在保罗缺席的情况下保持球队运转良好令人欣慰，但克里斯·保罗参与了马刺许多关键时刻的胜利，这并非巧合。到目前为止，米奇·约翰逊(Mitch Johnson)的换人选择很有趣，但我仍然觉得马刺更多的是为了试验而进行混合搭配，而不是为了寻找特定的阵容。话虽如此，基于目前的球员表现，我不会惊讶于在赛季结束前看到卡斯尔取代保罗和琼斯，带领决胜阵容。

Did the Spurs find their closing lineup against the Warriors?
The Spurs did a phenomenal job in the final minutes against the Warriors, with Tre Jones in place of Chris Paul in the closing unit.
The Spurs outscored the Warriors 16-4 in the last 4:34 minutes of the game, when the lineup of Tre Jones, Stephon Castle, Julian Champagnie, Harrison Barnes and Victor Wembanyama took the floor. Did the coaching staff find something special with that unit?
Marilyn Dubinski: It’s quite possible! It was somewhat surprising that Tre Jones closed over Chris Paul, but there was no reason to break up what was working, and it’s also both a reminder from the past and for the future that Jones is a good point guard. Overall, this lineup brings the correct balance between offense and defense at all three levels that are needed to close out games. Some individual pieces can be changed in and out depending on how the game is going for different players, but it’s definitely a blueprint to keep in mind going forward.
Jesus Gomez: I feel like it’s less about finding a good closing unit with Tre Jones in it and more about relying on the best four-man lineup available, consisting of Stephon Castle, Julian Champagnie, Harrison Barnes and Victor Wembanyama. Those four have been excellent so far this season, outscoring opponents by 32 points per 100 possessions in an admittedly small sample size. That same group with Chris Paul in it, which is the new starting lineup, has posted a net rating of 30 points, which suggests it wasn’t Tre who turned that unit into a winner, it simply was one already.
It is good to know that the team can close without Chris Paul, who has been great in the clutch, but now the question is, what will happen when Devin Vassell and Jeremy Sochan are available and the foursome that seems to work so well is potentially split?
Bill Huan: It was definitely a pleasant surprise, but keep in mind that we’re dealing with a sample size of less than 5 minutes, and the Spurs were already making a comeback before this unit was trotted out. I’m positive that swapping Jones for CP3 would have been just as effective, if not more, given how vital he was in the game, but I also echo Jesus’ sentiment - it’s certainly a good sign that this team can close without the Point God. We’ll definitely need to see this lineup more before making any grand conclusions.
More importantly, it’ll be interesting to see what happens when Vassell and Sochan return. I have more confidence that the former can seamlessly slot into any lineup due to his shooting, but there is a genuine question as to how the latter will fit if the Spurs continue finding success with floor-spacing units.
Devon Birdsong: I don’t know that I’m willing to say anything definitive with such a small sample size and key players still out, but I have my doubts about this being a regular closing lineup. While it was nice to see Tre Jones keeping things running smoothly in Paul’s place, Chris Paul has been on the court for a lot of the Spurs’ closer wins and that’s no coincidence. Mitch Johnson’s substitution choices have been interesting so far, but I’m still getting the sense that the Spurs are more busy mixing and matching for experimentation purposes than hunting for specific lineups. That being said, based on the current performance arc, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Castle running the closing lineup over both Paul and Jones by the end of the season.
