本赛季第五次将对手得分限制在100分以下并取得胜利
马刺队继续东部客场之旅,在布鲁克林凭借着主要由防守驱动的出色表现战胜了篮网队。文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama) 砍下6个盖帽领衔全队,另有三名队友各自至少贡献了2次抢断。马刺队客场战绩提升至5胜8负,总战绩也再次回到胜率50%以上,来到16胜15负。
一如既往,马刺队的进攻在首节比赛中步履维艰,因为篮网队的防守向他们传递了一个明确的信息:将他们的得分限制在赛季最低的11分,首节比分22-11。
赛后,主教练米奇·约翰逊(Mitch Johnson)谈到球队慢热的开局时表示:“我们没有拿出正确的态度、能量和纪律……”
文班亚马投篮失准,德文·瓦塞尔(Devin Vassell)的跳投失灵,斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle)也无法在内线得分。但他们的救赎在于他们同样凶猛的防守,将篮网队的投篮命中率限制在42%。文班亚马在首节送出2记盖帽。此外,尼古拉斯·克拉克斯顿(Nic Claxton)直到文班下场后才开始找到感觉。
这种强度延续到了第二节,马刺队利用一次抢断快攻得分,并在三分半钟内打出一波16-2的进攻高潮。朱利安·尚帕尼(Julian Champagnie)在这段时间内命中三记三分球,文班还助攻哈里森·巴恩斯(Harrison Barnes)完成空接暴扣。但布鲁克林的暂停打断了马刺队的势头,他们用全场紧逼进行反击,迫使马刺队失误,并有效干扰了他们的投篮。
尽管如此,马刺队仍然创造了一些不错的得分机会,但瓦塞尔却没能把握住。尽管进攻陷入困境,但这并非完全没有收获,因为他们持续不断地站上罚球线,通过打断对手的节奏,让比赛变得更加胶着。
经过双方互有攻守的拉锯战,半场结束时比分战成41平。根据Cleaning the Glass的数据,马刺队的半场阵地战进攻每百回合仅得到62.2分,这糟糕的表现足以排在本赛季所有比赛中的倒数第一百分位。此外,球队仅得到10分内线得分,9分快攻得分,2分二次进攻得分和22分替补得分。
下半场,诺阿·克劳尼(Noah Clowney)和谢克·米尔顿(Shake Milton)分别命中三分,杰伦·威尔逊(Jalen Wilson)也打成一次“2+1”,但马刺队还是压制住了他们。凭借着将篮网队的投篮命中率限制在38%,马刺队带着12分的领先优势进入第四节。
文班亚马找到了自己的节奏,命中三记三分并完成一次扣篮。然而,在第三节还剩五分钟时,他被威尔逊头部撞击后返回更衣室。在他缺席的情况下,凯尔登·约翰逊(Keldon Johnson)、尚帕尼、瓦塞尔和卡斯尔合力砍下12分,帮助球队结束了第三节的比赛。
随后,文班亚马从短暂的眩晕中恢复过来,并在第四节开始后送出3记盖帽。杰里米·索汉(Jeremy Sochan)、克里斯·保罗(Chris Paul)和尚帕尼将领先优势扩大到17分,迫使布鲁克林在比赛还剩7分钟时请求暂停。比赛恢复后,马刺队被对手打出一波17-9的小高潮,但他们最终还是顶住了压力,以96-87赢得了比赛。他们得到了36分内线得分,19分快攻得分,9分二次进攻得分和41分替补得分。
在赛后新闻发布会上,篮网队主教练霍尔迪·费尔南德斯(Jordi Fernandez)被问及是什么改变了比赛的走势。他提到了第三节,说道:“文班在那段时间命中的那三个三分球稍微改变了比赛的局势。”

赛事笔记
- 索汉再次表现出色。在文班下场休息时,他出任中锋。在这些情况下,球队在没有文班的情况下得分很困难,但防守仍然坚挺,因为索汉在后防线上发挥了重要作用。他还擅长全场紧逼,并以14个篮板领衔全场。
- 篮网队的战绩不佳(12胜19负),但他们训练有素,是一支很难被击败的球队。在本场比赛之前,他们有六场失利的分差都在五分或五分以内。
- 瓦塞尔的上半场跳投完全失灵,9投仅1中。他在下半场表现有所回暖,7投3中,但总的来说,这是他本赛季第二差的投篮之夜。
- 根据Cleaning the Glass的数据,马刺队的进攻每百回合得分100分,仅排在本赛季所有比赛的第14个百分位。此外,他们在禁区内32投仅15中,比联盟平均水平低18.8个百分点。即使投篮表现如此糟糕,马刺队仍然能够在如此胶着的比赛中取胜,这是一个好兆头。
- 尚帕尼是本场比赛的三分王,7投5中。这是他本赛季第五次单场命中至少5记三分。约翰逊是替补席上的另一位主要贡献者,他11投5中得到15分。
- 马刺队的防守非常出色,在没有犯规过多的情况下完成了任务,只让对手获得了8次罚球机会。此外,文班的盖帽也让篮网队在进攻内线时更加犹豫。

The Spurs use defense to overpower Nets in gritty road win
Fifth night and win of the season holding a rival under 100 points
The Spurs’ Eastern road trip continued in Brooklyn with a victorious effort against the Nets powered mainly by the defense. Victor Wembanyama led the way, blocking six shots, and three other teammates had at least two steals each. They improved to 5-8 on the road and are back over .500 again at 16-15.
True to form, the Spurs’ attack struggled in the opening quarter because the Nets’ defense sent a message: holding them to their lowest-scoring first quarter of the year, 22-11.
After the game, coach Mitch Johnson said, “We did not have the proper approach, energy, discipline…” regarding the slow start.
Wembanyama was off target, Devin Vassell’s jumper was broken and Stephon Castle couldn’t score in the lane. But their salvation was that they were almost as ravenous, holding the Nets to 42 percent shooting. Wembanyama had two blocks in the period. On top of that, Nic Claxton didn’t start getting loose until Wemby sat.
The intensity carried over into the second frame, starting with them capitalizing on a pick-6 and, within three-and-a-half minutes, had gone on a 16-2 run. Julian Champagnie had three treys in that span, and Wemby threw a lob to Harrison Barnes. But Brooklyn’s timeout zapped the energy, and they countered with a full-court press, poking balls loose and promptly bothering shots.
Still, the Spurs generated makeable opportunities that went nowhere from Vassell. In spite of the offense being in a rut, it wasn’t a total loss because they were consistently getting to the line, making the game uglier by crippling the flow for the other team.
After trading cold streaks, the game was tied at 41 at halftime. The Spurs’ half-court offense was held to 62.2 points per 100 plays, good enough for the comically bad 1st percentile of all games played this season, per Cleaning the Glass. Additionally, the team had only 10 paint points, nine on the break, two via second chances and 22 from the bench.
Then Noah Clowney and Shake Milton responded with 3-pointers, and Jalen Wilson had a 3-point play, but the Spurs over-matched them. The defense contained the Nets to 38 percent shooting to take a 12-point lead heading into the fourth.
Webmanyama found his rhythm, making three triples and dunked, yet, with five minutes left in the period, he went for the locker room after getting headbutted by Wilson. The team scored 12 points by Keldon Johnson, Champagnie, Vassell and Castle to close the quarter without him.
Subsequently, Wembanyama recovered from his daze to start the fourth and got three extra blocks. Jeremy Sochan, Chris Paul and Champagnie raised the lead to 17, forcing a Brooklyn stoppage with seven minutes left. When play resumed, the team was outscored 17-9, but they held on to win, 96-87. They had 36 paint points, 19 on the break, nine via second chances and 41 from the bench.
At the postgame press conference, Nets coach Jordi Fernandez was asked what changed the game. He cited the third quarter, saying, “Those three threes that Wemby made right there shifted the game a little bit.”

Game Notes
- This was another good performance from Sochan. He played at center when Wemby sat. In those situations, the team struggled to score without Wemby, but the defense held up because Sochan was impactful in the backline. He was also good at full-court press and was the game’s leading rebounder with 14.
- The Nets’ record is not good (12-19), but they are well-coached and are a tough team to put away. Before this game, they had six losses decided by five points or fewer.
- Vassell’s jumper was useless in the first half, and he shot one of nine in that span. He was better in the second half, making three or seven shots, but overall, it was the second-worst shooting night he’s had this season.
- The Spurs’ offense scored 100 points per 100 possessions, good enough for the 14th percentile of all games played this season, per cleaning the Glass. Furthermore, they were held to 15 of 32 shots in the restricted area, which is 18.8 percentage points below league average. Even with those poor marks, it’s a good sign that the Spurs can come away with a win when a game gets in the mud.
- Champagnie was the top 3-point shooter of the night, making five of seven. It was his fifth night of the season making at least five triples. Johnson was the other high-level contributor off the bench with 15 points on five of 11 shots.
- The defense was sharp, doing its job without fouling, allowing just eight free-throw attempts. On top of that, Wemby’s blocks made the Nets more tentative to attack the interior.
