2024年11月27日星期三，在圣安东尼奥举行的NBA篮球比赛下半场，圣安东尼奥马刺队的维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)盖掉了洛杉矶湖人队勒布朗·詹姆斯(LeBron James)上篮时的球。（美联社照片/达伦·阿贝特）
周三晚上第一节末段，德安吉洛·拉塞尔对克里斯·保罗的一次强硬的肩部冲撞激怒了弗罗斯特银行中心19120名座无虚席的马刺球迷。
在保罗让拉塞尔知道他不喜欢这个动作后，事情并没有进一步发展。
但可以说，这次撞击突显了湖人队比主队更具侵略性和身体对抗性，而这两支球队都是背靠背的第二场比赛。
新秀道尔顿·克内希特得到20分，安东尼·戴维斯得到19分和14个篮板，勒布朗·詹姆斯得到16分、10个篮板和11次助攻的三双，湖人队以119-101的比分结束了马刺队的四连胜。
湖人以32-23赢得了第一节，为这场只有三次领先优势互换和一次平局的比赛奠定了基调。
“我们的身体对抗，以及比赛开始时的信念，我想，都不够，这很令人失望，尤其是在面对一个不会给你任何东西的对手时，”马刺代理教练米奇·约翰逊说。
维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)以20分和10个篮板领衔马刺队，他同意约翰逊的评估。
“我们缺乏身体对抗，尽管我知道参与度和做好事情的意愿都在那里，”文班亚马说。“我认为也许我们没有专注于正确的事情，没有专注于轻松得分和做出正确的选择。这是我们集体，包括我自己，可以更加关注的事情。因为没有我们的基础，我们的年轻就会显现出来，而对手的经验则会更加突出。”

湖人队利用对手的迟缓，轻松地得到了大量的篮下得分，在内线得分方面以58-41领先马刺队。
“我们没有正确的心态，也没有足够的力度去打出我们一直以来所打的合理篮球，”哈里森·巴恩斯说，他为马刺队贡献了19分。
在第二节落后15分的情况下，马刺队奋起直追，在第三节中段将分差缩小到4分。但湖人队在马克斯·克里斯蒂的8分的带领下打出一波10-3的攻势，在第三节末段将客队的领先优势扩大到19分。
湖人队在接下来的比赛中一直保持着10分或以上的领先优势，将战绩提高到11胜7负，并在赛季系列赛中以2-0领先，还剩下两场比赛。
朱利安·尚帕尼为马刺队贡献了18分，德文·瓦塞尔在因左膝挫伤缺席五场比赛后复出，在21分钟内得到14分。
以下是马刺队输球后的三个总结，他们的战绩下降到10胜9负：
- 瓦塞尔在逆境中保持积极心态
从上赛季的脚伤，到六月份的手术治疗，再到过去几周让他缺席的膝盖挫伤，对于这位五年级的后卫来说，今年到目前为止都是一个多灾多难的年份。
值得称赞的是，他从这一切中恢复过来，并在周三晚上的复出之战中在进攻端几乎没有表现出生疏，10投5中，其中三分球3投2中。
“他看起来不错，”约翰逊说。“再说一次，我们知道德文能够得分并帮助我们，并继续找到他的节奏，让他上场很好。我们只需要继续把他融入到球队的结构中。我认为这不会花很长时间。”
尽管面临种种逆境，瓦塞尔的士气依然高昂。
“我试着以积极的方式看待一切，”他说。“我觉得一切事情的发生都是有原因的。显然，我可以感到沮丧和失落，但这对我有什么帮助呢？”
瓦塞尔相信他还有足够的时间来扭转他的赛季。
“我觉得我会在最完美的时机找到我的节奏，”他说。“对我们来说，现在还为时过早，随着我继续比赛，开始打更多的比赛，我想我会开始更好地掌握比赛的节奏。我很高兴我们能迎来杰里米·索汉(Jeremy Sochan)的回归。我很高兴我们能拥有我们的……我们的首发阵容会是什么样子？我们甚至还没有一起打过球。所以，我很期待。”
- 马刺队本可以利用索汉的能量
索汉在三周前接受左手拇指骨折手术后首次接受媒体采访时表示，他可能在“几天”内就能复出。
“我从上周就一直想上场打球，”他说。
马刺队本可以在对阵湖人队的比赛中使用他。
2024年11月27日星期三，在德克萨斯州圣安东尼奥的弗罗斯特银行中心，圣安东尼奥马刺队的斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle)和洛杉矶湖人队的卡姆·雷迪什(Cam Reddish)在第二节争夺球权。
“无论杰里米的数据如何，无论是20多分还是2分，他都会给比赛带来一定程度的身体对抗，一定程度的‘凶狠’，就像波波维奇(Gregg Popovich)说的那样，”尚帕尼说。“任何球队都需要这一点，我们尤其需要这一点。没有哪天他是不凶狠的，他没有倒在地上，他没有抢篮板，他没有努力打球。
“这对他来说是私人的，这将促使每个人都去做和他一样的事情。他绝对是我们的一只‘劲量兔子’。”
- 替补席未能发挥作用
除了克里斯蒂的12分外，湖人队还得益于拉塞尔替补出场的17分。
除了瓦塞尔，马刺队的替补球员并没有贡献太多，包括凯尔登·约翰逊，他打出了本赛季最糟糕的一场比赛，5投1中只得到赛季最低的4分，正负值-21。
特雷·琼斯（2分）和扎克·柯林斯（4分）的表现也令人失望。

3 takeaways as Spurs’ slow start leads to loss vs. Lakers

A hard shoulder check by D’Angelo Russell against Chris Paul late in the first period Wednesday night drew the ire of the Spurs fans in a sellout crowd of 19,120 at the Frost Bank Center.
But after Paul let Russell know he didn’t care for the move, nothing more came of it.
But a case can be made that the hit underscored how much more aggressive and physical the Lakers were than the home team in the second night of a back-to-back for both clubs.
Rookie Dalton Knecht scored 20 points, Anthony Davis added 19 points and 14 rebounds and LeBron James had a 16-point, 10-rebound, 11-assist triple-double as the Lakers ended the Spurs’ four-game winning streak with a 119-101 win.
The Lakers winning the first period 32-23 set the tone for a game that had only three lead changes and one tie.
“Our physicality and just conviction, I guess, at the start of the game weren’t there and that was disappointing, especially against an opponent that is not going to give you anything,” Spurs acting coach Mitch Johnson said.
Victor Wembanyama, who led the Spurs with 20 points and 10 rebounds, agreed with Johnson’s assessment.
“We lacked physicality, even though I know the engagement and the will to do good were there,” Wembanyama said. “I think maybe we didn’t focus on the right things, on getting easy baskets and doing the right play. This is something collectively, and also myself, we could focus more. Because without our basis, our youth shows, and our opponent’s experience shows even more.”

Collecting plenty of easy back-door baskets against their sluggish foe, the Lakers outscored the Spurs 58-41 in the paint.
“We didn’t have the right mindset, and we didn’t play with enough force to play the sound basketball that we’ve been playing,” said Harrison Barnes, who had 19 points for the Spurs.
Trailing by 15 in the second quarter, the Spurs fought back to pull within four midway through the third quarter. But a 10-3 run by the Lakers fueled by eight points from Max Christie pushed the visitor’s lead up to 19 points late in the period.
The Lakers led by 10 or more points the rest of the way in improving to 11-7 and pushing their lead in the season series to 2-0 with two games left.
Julian Champagnie added 18 for the Spurs, and Devin Vassell returned after a five-game absence due to a bruised left knee to score 14 in 21 minutes.
Here are three takeaways from loss, which dropped the Spurs to 10-9:
1. Vassell maintains perspective in the face of adversity
With his foot injury last season, the surgery in June to heal it, and a bruised knee that sidelined him for the past couple of weeks, it’s been a star-crossed year so far for the fifth-year guard.
To his credit, he’s fought back from all of it and showed little rust on the offensive end Wednesday night in his return, connecting on 5 for 10 from the field, including 2 for 3 from 3-point range.
“He looked good,” Johnson said. “Again, we know Devin’s going to be able to score and help us out and continue to find his rhythm and it’s nice to have him on the court. We just need to continue to build him back into the fabric of the team. I don’t think it’ll take long.”
Despite all the adversity he’s faced, Vassell’s spirits remain high.
“I’m trying to look everything as a positive way,” he said. “I feel like everything happens for a reason. Obviously I can get upset and get frustrated, but what’s that going to do for me?”
Vassell believes there’s plenty of time left for him to turn his season around.
“I feel like I’ll catch my stride at the perfect time,” he said. “It’s still early for us, and as I keep playing, start playing a lot more, I think I’ll start catching the flow, catching my rhythm a lot better. And I’m excited for us to get Jeremy (Sochan) back. I’m excited for us to have our…what is our starting five even going to look like? We haven’t even played with it. So, I’m excited for that.”
2. Spurs could have used Sochan’s energy
In his first interview with the media since he had surgery on his fractured left thumb three weeks ago, Sochan said before Wednesday’s game that it could be a matter of “days” before he returns.
“I’ve been wanting to play since last week,” he said.
The Spurs could have used him against the Lakers.
Stephon Castle (5) of the San Antonio Spurs and Cam Reddish (5) of the Los Angeles Lakers battle for the ball during the second quarter at Frost Bank Center on Wednesday, Nov. 27, 2024, in San Antonio, Texas.
“No matter what numbers Jeremy puts up, whether it’s in the twenties or two, he brings a certain level of physicality to the game, a certain level of nasty, as Pop (Gregg Popovich) would say,” Champagnie said. "And any team needs that, and we especially need that. There’s no nights where he’s not being nasty, he’s not getting on the floor, he is not getting rebounds, he’s not playing hard.
“It’s personal for him, and that’s going to push everybody to do the same exact thing that he’s doing. Definitely a big Energizer bunny for us.”
3. The bench failed to deliver
In addition Christie’s 12 points, the Lakers also benefited from Russell’s 17 points off the bench.
Other than Vassell, the Spurs didn’t get much from their reserves, including Keldon Johnson, who had his worst game of the season with a season-low four points on 1-for-5 from the field and a minus-21 rating.
Tre Jones (two points) and Zach Collins (four points) also had disappointing outings.
