没有人能阻挡巴姆·阿德巴约
尽管没有维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama),马刺依然奋力拼搏,但在比赛最后时刻被巴姆·阿德巴约(Bam Adebayo)的制胜一球击败。最大的区别之一在于他们的进攻被压制,在最后五分钟内只投进了两个球。球队目前在分差三分或更少的比赛中战绩为4胜4负,在没有文班的比赛中战绩为2胜4负。
热火可能缺少吉米·巴特勒,但目前来看,没有他,他们的表现反而更好。最令人鼓舞的迹象之一是,尽管在运动能力和身高臂展方面被阿德巴约和新秀凯莱尔·沃尔(Kel’el Ware)压制,马刺仍然能够在比赛中紧咬比分。另一个积极的方面是,马刺的防守在不犯规的情况下做得很好,只让对手获得了17次罚球机会,并将热火的三分命中率限制在低于其平均水平5.5个百分点。
然而,令人担忧的是,马刺错失了太多唾手可得的机会,并且无法维持第一节的进攻效率。在后三节比赛中,马刺的投篮命中率仅为39%。
关键要点
- 半场阵地进攻惨不忍睹,每100回合仅得88.2分,根据Cleaning the Glass的数据,这仅相当于本赛季所有比赛的第24个百分位。部分原因是热火的联防让马刺难以招架,迫使他们投出糟糕的投篮并出现失误。没有文班,球队就缺少了能够在中路撕裂联防的球员。在周五对阵雄鹿的比赛中,由于文班在场,雄鹿的这种战术毫无作用。
- 自从巴特勒被禁赛以来,阿德巴约的表现好了很多,在对阵查尔斯·巴斯(Charles Bassey)的比赛中,他再次展现了全明星的风采。他不断冲击篮筐,并且跳投也屡屡命中。最重要的是,热火在内线没有遇到真正的盖帽手的阻碍,这使得他们能够在非禁区和中距离高效得分。
- 文班的缺席为替补中锋腾出了上场时间。巴斯表现最好的是抢下15个篮板,其中包括7个进攻篮板,并在篮下命中4球。桑德罗·马穆克拉什维利(Sandro Mamukelashvili)连续投中三个球,帮助圣安东尼奥在比赛后期取得三分领先。但扎克·科林斯(Zach Collins)表现低迷,杰里米·索汉(Jeremy Sochan)在面对长人时得分困难。
- 凯尔登·约翰逊(Keldon Johnson)延续了前一晚的出色表现,上半场得到17分,主要依靠罚球得分。但热火在下半场对他做好了准备,将他限制在2分,投篮命中率仅为25%。
- 斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle)的数据并不惊艳,但他在球队缺少主要进攻点的情况下挺身而出,送出了6次助攻。此外,在比赛还剩不到6分钟时,他的抢断得分帮助马刺短暂领先,当时两队在该节的比分一直紧咬。
- 哈里森·巴恩斯(Harrison Barnes)的大部分时间都花在了防守端,他很好地限制了沃尔,后者在1月19日对阵马刺的比赛中得到25分。根据NBA的追踪数据,沃尔在面对巴恩斯的五分半钟里只出手两次,命中一球。
- 对于主教练米奇·约翰逊(Mitch Johnson)和球队来说,录像回放中最可怕的部分可能是重温特里·罗齐尔(Terry Rozier)在外线的神勇表现。从12月1日到比赛前,他的三分命中率只有24%。在目睹了罗齐尔和克里斯·米德尔顿(Khris Middleton)在背靠背的比赛中对球队的表现之后,约翰逊应该抓住这个机会来遏制最近的趋势——过气球员在对阵马刺时爆发。

What we learned from the Spurs loss to the Heat
No one could stop Bam Adebayo
The Spurs made a valiant effort without Victor Wembanyama but got beat at the horn by Bam Adebayo’s game-winning shot. One of the biggest differences was that their offense was neutralized, scoring two baskets in the last five minutes. The team is now 4-4 in games decided by three points or fewer and 2-4 without Wemby.
The Heat may have been absent Jimmy Butler, but at this point they are better without him. One of the most encouraging signs was that the Spurs could hang in the game while being overmatched by the athleticism and length of Adebayo and rookie Kel’el Ware. The other was that the defense did a solid job of guarding without fouling, allowing just 17 free throw attempts, and holding the Heat to 5.5 percentage points below their average in 3-point shooting.
Although, the concerns were misfiring too many makeable opportunities and not being able to sustain the output of the first quarter. The Spurs shot 39 percent in the last three quarters.
Takeaways
- The half-court attack was miserable, scoring just 88.2 points per 100 plays, good enough for the 24th percentile of all games played this season, per Cleaning the Glass. Part of this was because the Heat’s zone gave the Spurs problems by forcing bad shots and turnovers. Without Wemby, the team didn’t have the matchup advantage who could shatter the zone in the middle. On Friday against the Bucks, such tactics were futile with him on the floor.
- Adebayo, who has played much better since Butler was banished, looked like an All-Star again against Charles Bassey. He was getting downhill and connecting on his jumpers. On top of that, the Heat didn’t see resistance in the back line from a real shot blocker, which allowed them to score efficiently in the paint nonrestricted area and at mid-range.
- Wemby’s absence freed minutes for the reserve bigs. Bassey’s best work was recovering 15 rebounds, including seven on offense and making four shots at the rim. Sandro Mamukelashvili made three baskets in a row to give San Antonio a three-point lead late in the game. But Zach Collins was a dud, and Jeremy Sochan had trouble scoring against length.
- Keldon Johnson picked up where he left off the night before, scoring 17 points in the first half, mostly on trips to the line. But the Heat were ready for him in the second half, holding him to two points on 25 percent shooting.
- Castle didn’t record the most eye-popping stats, but he stepped up as a playmaker, dishing six assists without the top target on the team. Furthermore, his pick-6 with under six minutes to go gave the Spurs a brief lead as both squads were head-to-head on the scoreboard for the quarter.
- Harrison Barnes spent most of his time off defense, bothering Ware, who had 25 points against the Spurs on Jan. 19. Ware only attempted two shots against him, making one in five-and-a-half minutes, per the NBA’s tracking data.
- The most horrifying part of the film review for Coach Mitch Johnson and the team will probably be re-watching Terry Rozier spank them from long range. He had made 24 percent of his 3-point attempts from Dec. 1 to before the game. Johnson should take this opportunity to nip the latest trend - washed players balling out against the Spurs- after seeing what Rozier and Khris Middleton did to the team over back-to-back games.
