亚特兰大——初期的表现表明，达龙·福克斯(De’Aaron Fox)将圣安东尼奥马刺队描述为他技术组合的“壮观”的契合之处是准确的。
福克斯充分展示了这一点，他带领他的新球队以 126-125 战胜亚特兰大老鹰队，他早早就发起进攻，最终拿下 24 分、13 次助攻、5 个篮板和 3 次抢断。这一表现标志着球队历史上首次有球员在马刺队首秀中拿下至少 20 分和 10 次助攻。
福克斯得分或助攻得到 56 分。
“自私地讲，作为一名教练，我认为这大概是你希望的第一场比赛最完整的结果了，”圣安东尼奥队的代理教练米奇·约翰逊(Mitch Johnson)说。“你看到了潜力，这太诱人了。他充满活力，他将为我们的球队解锁一个完全不同的元素。”
福克斯在比赛的决定性时刻提供了证据。在比赛还剩 2.9 秒时，双方战成 125 平。克里斯·保罗(Chris Paul)通过界外球传给了福克斯，马刺队执行了一次高位挡拆。当维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)向篮筐滚动时，亚特兰大的德安德烈·亨特(De’Andre Hunter)放弃了这位法国天才，与戴森·丹尼尔斯(Dyson Daniels)一起对福克斯进行包夹。
意识到对手额外的防守，福克斯将球传给了溜向篮筐的文班亚马。
“我已经告诉过那些家伙，无论我在一场比赛中打得多么出色，我都会吸引注意力，”福克斯说。“这就是发生的事情。他们两个人包夹我。无论这是沟通失误，还是他们想这样做，他都会顺势切入并试图强硬终结。”
文班亚马试图用双手扣篮越过奥涅卡·奥孔武(Onyeka Okongwu)，后者对这位 21 岁的中锋犯规，将他送上罚球线。文班亚马投中了第一个罚球，并故意投失了第二个罚球，结束了圣安东尼奥队的两连败。
“米奇设计的精彩战术，”文班亚马说。“我只是希望我当时用右手[上篮]。”
无论如何，福克斯在暂停期间向文班亚马强调要强硬进攻，因为约翰逊设计了赢得比赛的战术。
“我在暂停时告诉他，‘你最好不要把球踢出去，’”福克斯说。“我们生死取决于你决定做什么，但我们绝对生死取决于你投出这一球。所以，你强硬地冲向篮筐，你就会得到回报。如果我们没有同意投失最后一球，他本可以命中两个罚球。那是一个关键时刻的罚球，它为我们赢得了比赛。”
文班亚马拿下 24 分、12 个篮板和 1 个盖帽，将他职业生涯最长的连续 20+10 的比赛纪录扩大到七场。
圣安东尼奥队一度领先多达 20 分，之后亚特兰大在特雷·杨(Trae Young)在比赛还剩 48.9 秒时投中两个罚球，最终将比分扳平。
“所以，我大概知道会是什么样子，”保罗谈到福克斯的首秀时说。“但我的意思是，他打球的节奏，我们在球场上的空间。他和一些非常出色的中锋合作过，但我认为没有人能像文班那样打开空间。除了投篮训练之外，我们甚至没有和他一起训练过。所以，我们希望边打边学，边走边看。”
据 ESPN 研究，福克斯、保罗和新秀斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle)组成的圣安东尼奥后卫三人组，在比赛初期给老鹰队带来了严重破坏，在第一节的 35 分中，他们得分或助攻得到 32 分。约翰逊甚至承认，他在场边思考着这支现在充满多才多艺球员的球队的未来。
据 ESPN 研究，马刺队在福克斯传出的球中，命中了 19 球中的 13 球，其中文班亚马通过这位新援的助攻，4 投 4 中。福克斯成为 NBA 历史上第三位在球队首秀中得分 20+ 并通过助攻产生 30+ 分的球员，前两位是詹姆斯·哈登（2021 年）和拉塞尔·威斯布鲁克（2020 年）。
“在第一节中，发起进攻和终结比赛的多功能性是如此广泛的组合，以至于——当你作为另一支球队时，你试图找到解决方案，如何阻止或在哪里关闭水龙头，”约翰逊说。“潜力就是潜力，对吧？我不会淡化这一点。达龙·福克斯是一位充满活力的球员，至少可以说。”
在前三节中，福克斯要么得分，要么助攻得到 47 分，圣安东尼奥队以 103-92 领先进入最后一节。据 ESPN 研究，在此期间，福克斯运球投篮 12 投 6 中，面对干扰投篮 12 投 8 中，在半场对阵老鹰队的五名不同的防守球员。
在防守端，福克斯贡献了 3 次抢断，朱利安·尚帕涅(Julian Champagnie)贡献了全队最高的 5 次，德文·瓦塞尔(Devin Vassell)贡献了 4 次。
圣安东尼奥队获得了本赛季的第 22 场胜利。上赛季，马刺队直到 4 月 14 日的最后一场比赛才获得第 22 场胜利。
“这是实际的进步，”文班亚马说，“但我认为这 22 场胜利应该早点到来。我们这支球队几乎所有人年纪都很小。除了变得更好和不断进步之外，没有其他方法。”

De’Aaron Fox enjoys historic Spurs debut in win over Hawks
ATLANTA – Early returns indicate accuracy in De’Aaron Fox’s description of the San Antonio Spurs as a “spectacular” fit for his skill set.
Fox showcased as much in leading his new team to a 126-125 win over the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday by striking early and often to finish with 24 points, 13 assists, 5 rebounds and 3 steals. The performance marked the first time in franchise history that a player making his Spurs debut tallied at least 20 points and 10 assists.
Fox scored or assisted on 56 points.
“Selfishly, as a coach, I think that’s probably about as complete of a game you’d hope for the first game,” San Antonio acting coach Mitch Johnson said. “You saw the potential. It’s tantalizing. He’s dynamic. He’s going to unlock a whole different element for our team.”
Fox provided the evidence on the decisive play of the game with 2.9 seconds remaining and the score tied at 125. Chris Paul hit Fox on an inbounds pass, and the Spurs executed a high pick-and-roll. As Victor Wembanyama rolled to the basket, Atlanta’s De’Andre Hunter came off the French phenom to double-team Fox along with Dyson Daniels.
Recognizing the extra attention, Fox floated a pass to Wembanyama as he slipped to the basket.
“I’ve told those guys, regardless of how well I’m playing in a game, I draw attention,” Fox said. “And that’s what happened. They put two on me. Whether it’s a miscommunication or that’s what they wanted to do, he rolled and tried to finish strong.”
Wembanyama attempted a two-handed dunk over Onyeka Okongwu, who fouled the 21-year-old center and sent him to the line for two shots. Wembanyama knocked down the first free throw and purposely missed the second to snap San Antonio’s two-game skid.
“Great play drawn by Mitch,” Wembanyama said. “I just wish I would’ve [gone] up with my right hand.”
Either way, Fox stressed to Wembanyama to go up strong during a timeout as Johnson drew up the play that won the game.
“I told him in that timeout, ‘You better not kick that ball out,’” Fox said. “We live or die by what you decide to do, but we definitely live and die by you taking that shot. So, you go to the basket strong, you get rewarded. And he would’ve knocked down two free throws if we didn’t agree on missing that last one. That’s a big time free throw, and it won us the game.”
Wembanyama finished with 24 points, 12 rebounds and a block in extending his career-best streak of seven straight 20-point double-doubles.
San Antonio led by as many as 20 points before Atlanta finally knotted the score on a pair of Trae Young free throws with 48.9 seconds left.
“So, I sort of had an idea of what it would look like,” Paul said of Fox’s debut. “But I mean the pace he plays with, the space that we have out there on the court. He’s played with some really good centers, but I don’t think anybody like Vic that can open the floor up. We ain’t even had a practice with him, other than shootaround. So, we want to learn and figure it out as we go.”
San Antonio’s guard trio of Fox, Paul and rookie Stephon Castle wreaked havoc on the Hawks early, scoring or assisting on 32 of the club’s 35 points in the opening frame, according to ESPN Research. Johnson even admitted to pondering from the sideline what could be in the future for a squad now teeming with versatility.
The Spurs connected on 13 of 19 shots off passes from Fox, according to ESPN Research, with Wembanyama shooting 4-for-4 off the new addition’s dimes. Fox became the third player in NBA history to score 20 points and assist on 30 points in a franchise debut, joining James Harden (2021) and Russell Westbrook (2020).
“The versatility of who was initiating and then finishing the play [in the first quarter] was such a wide range of combinations that it really – when you’re the other team, you’re trying to find solutions on how to stop or where to turn the water off,” Johnson said. “The potential is what the potential is, right? I’m not going to downplay that. De’Aaron Fox is a dynamic player, to say the least.”
Through the first three quarters, Fox either scored or assisted on 47 points as San Antonio entered the final frame leading 103-92. Over that span, Fox shot 6-of-12 off the dribble, according to ESPN Research, and 8-of-12 on contested shots, taking attempts against five different Hawks defenders in the half court.
Defensively, Fox finished with three steals, while Julian Champagnie contributed a team-high five and Devin Vassell added four.
San Antonio picked up its 22nd victory. Last season, the Spurs didn’t notch win No. 22 until the April 14 finale.
“This is factual progress,” Wembanyama said, “but I think those 22 wins should’ve come earlier. Almost all of us are really young on this team. There’s no other way than getting better and going up.”
