周三晚上，文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)表现令人失望，导致马刺惨败于雄鹿。
继在芝加哥遭遇令人沮丧的失利后，马刺队希望在周三晚上对阵雄鹿的比赛中重返胜轨。不幸的是，密尔沃基火热的投篮让他们以121-105大胜，将圣安东尼奥的连败场次扩大到三场。
尽管结果令人失望，但马刺队的开局却非常精彩。不出所料，文班亚马成为了全场的焦点，他在第一个防守回合中就封盖了扬尼斯·阿德托昆博(Giannis Antetokounmpo)，随后又命中了一记金鸡独立三分球。圣安东尼奥利用他们的球运转在各个区域得分，而雄鹿则因为文班亚马在内线的防守而更多依赖外线投篮。然而，一旦“外星人”被换下，密尔沃基就打出一波小高潮，打破了原本胶着的局面。
这一趋势在第二节继续，雄鹿队建立了不可逾越的领先优势。当文班在第二节中段下场时，密尔沃基只领先一分，但当他回到场上时，圣安东尼奥已经落后了15分。如果没有文班亚马在内线的牵制，马刺的进攻完全停滞，而圣安东尼奥在这个大个子回到场上后的第一个回合就得分并非巧合。不幸的是，雄鹿继续积攒气势，他们在上半场最后几分钟命中了四个三分球，取得了两位数的领先优势。
即便如此，马刺并没有放弃。特别是克里斯·保罗(Chris Paul)，他在第三节火力全开，命中多个三分球，将分差缩小到10分以内。圣安东尼奥开始焕发新的活力，并试图卷土重来，但这注定是徒劳的。马刺整晚的执行力都差强人意：他们的传球和时机总是差之毫厘，失之千里。结果，密尔沃基很快重建了他们的领先优势，比赛的悬念也随之结束。
两队的首发球员在第四节初段都留在场上，直到胜负已定，关键球员才开始被换下。这是一场备受期待的比赛，最终的结果却令人失望，圣安东尼奥现在必须重新振作起来，准备在周六晚上与洛杉矶湖人队的对决。
比赛记录
- 文班亚马经历了一个多月以来最糟糕的比赛，他10投4中，仅得到10分。实际上，他在比赛开始的前六分钟里贡献了三个精彩的回合，但在接下来的比赛中却显得相当沉闷。这只是一场比赛，但仍然值得关注他在周六对阵湖人时的状态。记住，在10月下旬，文班亚马在5投仅得6分后的第二天就打出了5x5的数据。
- 有趣的是，马刺队似乎不太喜欢文班亚马对位扬尼斯的安排。米奇·约翰逊(Mitch Johnson)确保了在第二节初扬尼斯下场时文班亚马在场，尽管这可能只是两队的常规轮换。然而，考虑到文班亚马在防守扬尼斯时看起来最投入（他三次封盖了扬尼斯），看到他在防守端更多地扮演游弋者的角色还是有点令人惊讶。不出所料，“希腊怪兽”在面对文班亚马时最不愿冲击篮筐，所以如果他们更多地对位，比赛的结果可能会有所不同。
- 凯尔登·约翰逊(Keldon Johnson)替补出场表现出色，他15投7中，得到24分和11个篮板。在球队大部分人都缺乏活力的情况下，“大块头”带来了急需的能量。
- 另一个亮点？控球之神克里斯·保罗得到18分和7次助攻，同时6投5中。即使已经39岁，保罗仍然试图带领这支年轻的球队完成逆转，最终的结果与他无关。
本场最佳
这到底是什么操作？？？
怎么做到的？！

Spurs get blown out in Milwaukee to drop third straight game
A disappointing game from Wemby resulted in a blowout loss to the Bucks on Wednesday night.
Following a frustrating loss in Chicago, the Spurs looked to get back in the win column against the Bucks on Wednesday night. Unfortunately, Milwaukee’s hot shooting led them to a 121-105 blowout victory, pushing San Antonio’s losing streak to three.
Despite the disappointing result, the Spurs started the game with a bang. Wemby was unsurprisingly at the center of attention, as he blocked Giannis on the first defensive possession before making a one-legged three. San Antonio used their ball movement to score from all three levels, while the Bucks relied on their outside shooting due to Wemby’s interior presence. As soon as the Alien was subbed out, though, Milwaukee went on a mini-run to break open an otherwise close game.
That trend continued in the second quarter as the Bucks built up an insurmountable lead. Milwaukee was only up by a point when Wemby sat halfway through the quarter, but by the time he came back, San Antonio was already down by 15. The offense completely stalled without Wemby’s interior presence, and it’s not a coincidence that San Antonio scored on their first possession with the big man back on the court. Unfortunately, the Bucks continued to build momentum, as they hit four threes in the final minutes of the half to build a double-digit lead.
Even so, the Spurs didn’t give up. CP3, specifically, caught fire in the third by hitting multiple threes to cut the deficit to under 10. San Antonio began playing with renewed vigor and looked to make a comeback, but it wasn’t meant to be. The Spurs’ execution was just a bit off all night: their passes and timing were always an inch short and a second late. As a result, Milwaukee soon rebuilt their lead, and the competitive portion of the game was over.
The starters for both teams stayed in the game at the beginning of the fourth, before the result became inevitable and key players started subbing off. It was a disappointing result in what was a highly anticipated game, and San Antonio is now left to regroup before their showdown in LA on Saturday night.
Game notes
- Wemby had his worst game in over a month, finishing with just 10 points on 4-10 shooting. He actually started the game with three highlight reel plays in the first six minutes but looked quite lethargic the rest of the night. This is just one game, but it’s still worth monitoring how engaged he looks on Saturday against the Lakers. Remember, Wemby posted a 5x5 the day after he scored just six points on five shots back in late October.
- Interestingly, the Spurs seemed to dislike the Wemby-Giannis matchup. Mitch Johnson made sure that Wemby was on the court at the start of the second quarter when Giannis sat, though that might just be both teams’ regular rotations. However, considering that Wemby looked the most engaged when guarding Giannis (he blocked him three times), it was still a bit surprising to see him play more as a roamer on defense. The Greek Freak was unsurprisingly most hesitant to attack the rim with Wemby on him, so the game might’ve been different had they been matched up more often.
- Keldon Johnson had a great game off the bench, as he scored 24 points and grabbed 11 boards on 7-15 shooting. On a night when most of the team lacked energy, Big Body brought some much-needed juice.
- Another bright spot? How about the Point God, who had 18 points and seven assists while making five out of six threes. Even at 39, CP tried to will the young team to make a comeback, and he’s at no fault for the end result.
