圣安东尼奥力争从对阵字母哥和雄鹿队的比赛中反弹。
圣安东尼奥马刺队的赛季充满了起起伏伏。每次他们设法取得几场胜率过五成的比赛后，一连串令人失望的失利又让他们回到了原点。马刺队五连客之旅的第一场以输给芝加哥公牛队告终，他们在比赛中挥霍了19分的领先优势。这是他们连续第二场在最后时刻输掉比赛。现在，他们将北上挑战密尔沃基雄鹿队和世界上最好的球员之一。
上一次维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)和扬尼斯·阿德托昆博(Giannis Antetokounmpo)交手时，比赛末段火花四溅。文班在全国直播的关键时刻封盖了“希腊怪兽”，这宣告了他的正式到来。现在，这两位非凡的超级巨星被人们相提并论，他们的对决也成为了球迷必看的比赛。
密尔沃基在经历了艰难的赛季开局后扭转了局面，但在过去的六场比赛中只取得了2胜4负的战绩。圣安东尼奥需要拿出最好的状态才能让胜率重回五成以上，并从令人失望的两连败中反弹。

马刺队伤病情况： 杰里米·索汉(Jeremy Sochan) – 缺席（背部），西迪·西索科(Sidy Cissoko) – 缺席（发展联盟），莱利·米尼克斯(Riley Minix) – 缺席（发展联盟），哈里森·英格拉姆(Harrison Ingram) – 缺席（发展联盟），小戴维·杜克(David Duke Jr.) – 缺席（发展联盟）
雄鹿队伤病情况： 扬尼斯·阿德托昆博 – 可能出战（膝盖），小安德烈·杰克逊(Andre Jackson Jr.) – 可能出战（背部），克里斯·米德尔顿(Khris Middleton) – 可能出战（脚踝）
比赛看点
马刺队能否找到进攻节奏？
马刺队的进攻最近举步维艰。他们的场均得分已经下降到联盟第18位。圣安东尼奥的进攻状态很不稳定，大多数球员都在努力寻找进攻的一致性。文班是唯一稳定的进攻威胁点，而其他角色球员都在苦苦挣扎。这支球队似乎很难同时让两三个以上的球员在同一场比赛中发挥出色。雄鹿队是联盟前十的防守强队。如果圣安东尼奥的进攻困境持续下去，在密尔沃基的比赛可能会变得很糟糕。
比赛末段的执行力
马刺队连续两场在第四节崩盘。他们的很多问题都出在进攻端，在过去两场比赛的第四节，他们分别只得到了15分和16分。无论是体力不支、缺乏进攻执行力，还是缺乏战术创造力，圣安东尼奥在关键时刻的表现都很糟糕。马刺队有与密尔沃基抗衡的天赋。他们能否在最后时刻找到创造优势的方法将决定比赛的胜负。
没有杰里米·索汉的轮换阵容和替补中锋的出场时间
索汉将因背伤缺席周三晚上的比赛。没有索汉，马刺队的轮换阵容变得非常有趣。预计斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle)将进入首发阵容，扎克·科林斯(Zach Collins)或查尔斯·巴西(Charles Bassey)将作为替补中锋获得大量出场时间。他们中的一人需要站出来，这样马刺队就不会依赖于让文班出场36分钟以上，导致他在比赛后期精疲力竭。没有了索汉，我们可能会看到更多朱利安·尚帕涅(Julian Champagnie)的表现，他最近状态火热。

Game Preview: San Antonio Spurs at Milwaukee Bucks
San Antonio looks to bounce back against Giannis and the Bucks.
The San Antonio Spurs season has been filled with ups and downs. Every time they manage to get a few games over .500, a string of disappointing games takes them right back to even. The Spurs started a five-game road trip with a loss to the Chicago Bulls in which they blew a 19-point lead. It’s their second loss in a row where the game was decided in the final minutes. Now they’ll travel north to face the Milwaukee Bucks and one of the best players in the world.
There were plenty of late-game fireworks the last time Victor Wembanyama and Giannis Antetokounmpo played each other. Wembanyama’s “he’s arrived” moment came when he stuffed the Greek Freak at the rim in clutch time on national TV. Now the two abnormal superstars are muttered in the same breath and are a must-watch basketball matchup.
Milwaukee has turned things around after a tough start to the year but is 2-4 in their last six games. San Antonio will need to be on their A-game to get back above .500 and bounce back from a disappointing two-game stretch.

What to watch for
Can the Spurs find an offensive groove?
It’s been tough sledding for the Spurs offense lately. They’ve dropped to 18th in the NBA in points scored per game. It’s been a feast or famine for San Antonio, with the majority of the roster struggling to find offensive consistency. Wembanyama has been the only consistent offensive threat, with the rest of the supporting cast struggling to find its footing. It seems like the team can’t get more than two or three players to have an on-night at the same time. The Bucks are a top-10 defense in the NBA. If San Antonio’s offensive struggles continue, it could get ugly in Milwaukee.
Late game execution
The Spurs have blown two straight games in the fourth quarter. A lot of their issues have come on the offensive end, where they’ve scored 15 and 16 points in the fourth quarter of their last two games. Whether it be dead legs, a lack of execution of the offense, or a lack of play-calling creativity, San Antonio has been brutal down the stretch. The Spurs have the talent to stick around with Milwaukee. Whether they can find ways to create advantages down the stretch could decide the game’s fate.
The rotation without Jeremy Sochan and backup center minutes
Sochan will miss another game on Wednesday night due to a back injury. Without Sochan, the Spurs’ rotation becomes very interesting. Expect to see Stephon Castle in the starting lineup and either Zach Collins or Charles Bassey playing a lot of minutes as the backup five. One of them needs to step up so the Spurs aren’t reliant on playing Wembanyama 36+ minutes, wearing him out late in the game. Without Sochan, we will probably see more of Julian Champagnie, who has been playing great basketball lately.
