文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)首次入选全明星阵容，这几乎可以肯定不是最后一次。
周四下午，NBA教练投票选出了西部联盟替补阵容的成员，这位马刺中锋位列其中。
文班将是自2022年以来马刺队的第一位全明星代表，当时德章泰·穆雷(Dejounte Murray)被联盟总裁亚当·萧华(Adam Silver)选为伤病替补。
他将是自2019年拉马库斯·阿尔德里奇(LaMarcus Aldridge)以来第一位直接入选全明星正赛的马刺球员。
21岁的文班是马刺队历史上最年轻的全明星球员。
“这证明了他在联盟的头一个半赛季以及在此之前所付出的努力，他相信循序渐进的进步过程，而不是跳过步骤，”马刺代理教练米奇·约翰逊(Mitch Johnson)说道。“这使得他的天赋和独特的技能得以闪耀。”
西部替补阵容的其他成员包括明尼苏达森林狼队的安东尼·爱德华兹(Anthony Edwards)、洛杉矶湖人队的安东尼·戴维斯(Anthony Davis)、洛杉矶快船队的詹姆斯·哈登(James Harden)、孟菲斯灰熊队的小贾伦·杰克逊(Jaren Jackson Jr.)、休斯顿火箭队的阿尔佩伦·申京(Alperen Sengun)和俄克拉荷马雷霆队的杰伦·威廉姆斯(Jalen Williams)。

文班差一点就成为了首发球员，在球迷、媒体和球员的投票中，他在西部联盟前场球员中排名第四，位列丹佛掘金队的尼古拉·约基奇(Nikola Jokic)、洛杉矶湖人队的勒布朗·詹姆斯(LeBron James)和菲尼克斯太阳队的凯文·杜兰特(Kevin Durant)之后。金州勇士队的斯蒂芬·库里(Stephen Curry)和俄克拉荷马雷霆队的谢伊·吉尔杰斯-亚历山大(Shai Gilgeous-Alexander)是首发后卫。
显然，他已经成为了联盟教练们的宠儿，他们让他获得了他的第一个全明星席位。
“对我来说，在他第一个半赛季里，最令人印象深刻的事情之一就是他以正确的方式打球，”印第安纳步行者队教练里克·卡莱尔(Rick Carlisle)说道，作为东部联盟的教练，他无法为文班投票。“对于一个像他这个年龄的球员来说，他展现出了惊人的成熟，更不用说他所有的技能了。”
东部联盟的全明星阵容将由密尔沃基雄鹿队的扬尼斯·阿德托昆博(Giannis Antetokounmpo)、波士顿凯尔特人队的杰森·塔图姆(Jayson Tatum)、克利夫兰骑士队的多诺万·米切尔(Donovan Mitchell)以及纽约尼克斯队的杰伦·布伦森(Jalen Brunson)和卡尔-安东尼·唐斯(Karl-Anthony Towns)领衔。东部替补阵容包括波士顿凯尔特人队的杰伦·布朗(Jaylen Brown)、印第安纳步行者队的帕斯卡尔·西亚卡姆(Pascal Siakam)、克利夫兰骑士队的达里厄斯·加兰(Darius Garland)和埃文·莫布里(Evan Mobley)、底特律活塞队的凯德·坎宁安(Cade Cunningham)、密尔沃基雄鹿队的达米安·利拉德(Damian Lillard)和迈阿密热火队的泰勒·希罗(Tyler Herro)。
文班是六位首次入选全明星的球员之一，其他五位分别是申京、威廉姆斯、坎宁安、希罗和莫布里。
他在第二个赛季入选西部全明星阵容，场均得到24.4分、10.8个篮板和联盟最高的3.9次盖帽。
今年的全明星赛将于2月16日在旧金山举行。
在本周早些时候，文班亚马被提名为新秀挑战赛的参赛球员。由于他入选了全明星阵容，预计文班将不会参加该赛事。

For the first time, and almost certainly not the last, Victor Wembanyama is an All-Star.
The Spurs center was among the members of the Western Conference reserve squad as voted on by NBA coaches and announced Thursday afternoon.
Wembanyama will mark the Spurs’ first All-Star representative since 2022, when Dejounte Murray was tabbed an injury replacement by league commissioner Adam Silver.
He will be the first Spur voted into the game outright since LaMarcus Aldridge in 2019.
At age 21, Wembanyama is the youngest All-Star in Spurs history.
“It is just a testament to his first year and a half in this league and the work he put in prior to that, trusting the process in trying to get incrementally better and not skipping steps,” Spurs acting coach Mitch Johnson said. “That allows the talent and unique skill set to shine through.”
The rest of the West reserve roster consists of Minnesota’s Anthony Edwards, the Los Angeles Lakers’ Anthony Davis, the Los Angeles Clippers’ James Harden, Memphis’ Jaren Jackson Jr., Houston’s Alperen Sengun and Oklahoma City’s Jalen Williams

Wembanyama narrowly missed becoming a starter, finishing fourth among Western Conference frontcourt players in the vote of fans, media and players behind Denver’s Nikola Jokic, the Los Angeles Lakers’ LeBron James and Phoenix’s Kevin Durant. Golden State’s Stephen Curry and Oklahoma City’s Shai Gilgeous Alexander are the starting guards.
He has clearly become a favorite of league coaches, who awarded him his first All-Star spot.
“One of the most impressive things about him, to me in his first year and a half, is he plays the game the way it’s supposed to be played,” said Indiana coach Rick Carlisle, who as an Eastern Conference coach could not vote for Wembanyama. “He shows phenomenal maturity for a player that age, not to mention all his skills.”
The East squad is to be highlighted by Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokoounmpo, Boston’s Jayson Tatum, Cleveland’s Donovan Mitchell, and the New York Knicks’ Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns. The East reserves are Boston’s Jaylen Brown, Indiana’s Pascal Siakam, Cleveland’s Darius Garland and Evan Mobley, Detroit’s Cade Cunningham, Milwaukee’s Damian Lillard and Miami’s Tyler Herro.
Wembanyama is one of six first-time All-Stars, joining Sengun, Williams, Cunningham, Herro and Mobley.
He made the West squad in his second season while averaging 24.4 points, 10.8 rebounds and league-best 3.9 blocks per game.
This year’s All-Star game will be played Feb. 16 in San Francisco.
Earlier in the week, Wembanyama was named to the roster for the Rising Stars challenge. Because of his inclusion on the full All-Star squad, Wembanyama will not be expected to compete in that event.
