马刺队的“牛仔竞技表演之旅”来到了夏洛特
夏洛特黄蜂队长期以来都像一支在荒野中徘徊的球队，渴望哪怕只是瞥见一下应许之地。自从蒂姆·邓肯的新秀赛季，也就是1997-1998赛季以来，他们还没有在北卡罗来纳州赢得过50场比赛，自从2004年一支球队重返该州以来，他们也只完成了4次胜率超过50%。自从上个赛季迈克尔·乔丹出售了他在俱乐部的多数股权后，该队有了新的多数所有者，除了拉梅洛·鲍尔之外，关于这支球队的阵容没有什么好说的。鲍尔是一名得分狂人，在一支糟糕的球队中拥有无限开火权，但在过去两个赛季都饱受伤病困扰，并且再次受伤，自1月27日以来一直因脚踝问题缺席比赛。
如果鲍尔在场，这将是马刺队的一个典型的陷阱比赛，因为他是那种可以突然爆发的球员。由于他缺席比赛以及德阿隆·福克斯的加入，输掉这场比赛对圣安东尼奥来说将是一场灾难。二月份马刺队几乎没有强硬的比赛，如果他们想争取进入附加赛的资格，他们就不能输掉像今晚这样的比赛。曾经有一段时间，这支球队以能够对那些苦苦挣扎的球队“完成任务”而闻名。随着福克斯的加入，这种旧的常态有机会回归。
圣安东尼奥马刺 (22-26) vs 夏洛特黄蜂 (12-36)
2025年2月7日 | 中部时间下午6:00
观看：FDSS | 收听：WOAI (AM1200)
马刺队伤病情况： 查尔斯·巴锡，内侧副韧带扭伤（每日观察）
黄蜂队伤病情况： 拉梅洛·鲍尔，脚踝（缺席），科迪·马丁，核心（每日观察），瓦西里耶·米西奇，脚踝（每日观察），约什·奥科吉，腿筋（缺席），布兰登·米勒、格兰特·威廉姆斯和特雷·曼恩，赛季报销
值得关注的方面
- 福克斯、维克托·文班亚马和德文·瓦塞尔在马刺队战胜亚特兰大的比赛中合力贡献了126分中的64分。虽然整个球队都将从福克斯带来的东西中受益，但可能没有人比瓦塞尔受益更多，他在本赛季有时很难成为圣安东尼奥稳定的二号选择。福克斯可以以队内其他球员都无法做到的方式运球突破到内线，这具有牵扯防守并为自己和他人创造机会的优势。瓦塞尔承担的创造任务减少了很多，他在福克斯身边打球可能会真正蓬勃发展。
- 斯蒂芬·卡斯尔在对阵亚特兰大的比赛中并没有填满数据表，但他感觉比本赛季任何时候都更适应替补出场。卡斯尔是年度最佳新秀的竞争者，在本赛季圣安东尼奥的48场比赛中首发了29场，并且已经展示了他潜力的不少闪光点，但替补出场时表现不佳。在对阵亚特兰大的比赛中，他只打了20分钟，但他能够保持侵略性并充分利用自己的时间，多次走上罚球线并完成了一次凶猛的扣篮，这又一次预示着他将参加本赛季的扣篮大赛。随着特雷·琼斯的离开，卡斯尔是唯一的替补控球后卫，在对阵亚特兰大的比赛中，他的表现就像他明白这一点一样。
- 福克斯在他对阵老鹰队的首秀中打了37分钟，这与他在萨克拉门托本赛季的比赛时间基本一致，超过了阵容中其他任何球员。如果这种情况在他来到圣安东尼奥后继续下去，他将以大约4分钟的优势领先马刺队在场均出场时间方面（文班亚马的33分钟是本赛季一直效力于球队的球员中最高的）。

Game Preview: San Antonio Spurs at Charlotte Hornets
The Rodeo Road Trip rolls into Charlotte
The Charlotte Hornets have long been a franchise wandering in the wilderness, desperate for even just a glimpse of the Promised Land. They haven’t won 50 games in the state of North Carolina since Tim Duncan’s rookie year, the 1997-1998 season and have finished above .500 just 4 times since a franchise returned to the state in 2004. Under new majority ownership since last season after Michael Jordan sold his majority stake in the club, there’s not a whole lot to say about the roster outside of LaMelo Ball. Ball, a volume scorer with the green light on a bad team, has dealt with injuries the last 2 seasons and is hurt once again, an ankle issue that’s kept him out since January 27th.
With Ball on the court, this would have been a classic trap game scenario for the Spurs, as he’s the type of player that can get on a roll out of the blue. With him out and the addition of De’Aaron Fox to the roster, losing this game would be a disaster for San Antonio. February is light on tough games for the Spurs and if they want to make a push for a spot in the Play-In, they can’t afford to drop games like tonight’s. There was once a time where this franchise was renowned for being able to, “take care of business,” against struggling ball clubs. With the addition of Fox to the roster, there’s a chance that old norm can make a return.
San Antonio Spurs (22-26) at Charlotte Hornets (12-36)
February 7 2025 | 6:00 PM CT

What to watch for
- The trio of Fox, Victor Wembanyama, and Devin Vassell combined for 64 of San Antonio’s 126 points in the win at Atlanta. While the entire team will benefit from what Fox brings to the table, no one may benefit more than Vassell, who has struggled at times this season with being a consistent #2 option for San Antonio. Fox can attack the paint off the dribble in ways that no one on the roster really can, which has the benefit of bending a defense and creating openings for both himself and others. Tasked with much less of the creation side of things, Vassell could really flourish playing alongside Fox.
- Stephon Castle didn’t fill up the stat sheet against Atlanta, but he looked more comfortable coming off the bench than he had at any other point this season. Castle, a contender for Rookie of the Year, has started 29 of San Antonio’s 48 games this season and has shown more than a few flourishes of his potential, but has struggled when coming off the bench. Against Atlanta he only played 20 minutes, but he was able to stay aggressive and make the most of his time, getting to the free throw line multiple times and throwing down a vicious dunk that was yet another teaser ahead of his participation in this season’s Dunk Contest. With Tre Jones gone Castle is the sole backup point guard and against Atlanta, he played like he understood that.
- Fox played 37 minutes in his debut against the Hawks, in line with what he was playing this season in Sacramento more than any other player on the roster. Should this continue now that he’s in San Antonio, he would lead the Spurs in MPG by about 4 minutes (Victor’s 33 MPG is 1st among players that have been there all season).
