旧金山 - 维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)在NBA全明星周末度过了忙碌而愉快的一天。
作为一名首次入选全明星的球员，这位马刺队二年级中锋在湾区进行了一系列活动。两天前，他在波士顿以116-103输给对手的比赛中，在36分钟内贡献了17分、13个篮板、4次助攻和2次盖帽。
在比赛结束后不久乘坐包机横跨美国，并在周四上午稍作休息后，文班亚马又回到了工作状态，分别在旧金山和奥克兰露面。他最忙碌的时段是在下午，他在希尔顿联合广场酒店的技术峰会上发言，在莫斯康中心的NBA全明星Crossover活动中与孩子们一起打球并与球迷交谈，并在奥克兰的耐克未来之星赛中驻足。
“这很紧张，但非常有趣，”文班亚马在回答主持人提问时告诉球迷。
在同一次活动中，这位21岁的法国人鼓励年轻人，无论他们从事篮球运动，还是其他运动或活动。
“努力弥补你的弱点，让它们变成你的优势，”文班亚马说道，他的母亲埃洛迪·德·法特罗(Élodie de Fautereau)在一旁看着。
文班亚马在旧金山大通中心为马刺队新秀后卫斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle)在明日之星迷你锦标赛中加油助威，为这一天画上了句号。
这位7尺3寸的中锋忙碌的周末将在周六继续在奥克兰进行，全明星球员将在与媒体见面后在奥克兰竞技场进行训练。晚上，他计划与马刺队控球后卫克里斯·保罗(Chris Paul)一起参加在大通中心举行的技巧挑战赛，然后为卡斯尔在扣篮大赛中加油助威。
首届全明星赛迷你锦标赛定于周日晚上在大通中心举行。
在与球迷的互动中，当被问及他认为谁会赢得MVP时，文班亚马说：“我必须押我自己。”

Wembanyama goes through ‘intense’ but ‘fun’ day in Bay Area
Spurs center Victor Wembanyama works with kids during an appearance at Jr.NBA on Friday, Feb. 14, 2025 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, where he was set to play in his first All-Star Game.
SAN FRANCISCO - Victor Wembanyama had a busy but enjoyable day at NBA All-Star Weekend.
A first-time All-Star, the Spurs sophomore center made a series of appearances Friday in the Bay Area just two days after recording 17 points, 13 rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 36 minutes in a 116-103 loss in Boston.
After flying cross country on a charter jet shortly after the game and getting a little rest Thursday morning, Wembanyama was back at it with appearances in both San Francisco and Oakland. His busiest stretch came in the afternoon, when he spoke at the Tech Summit at the Hilton Union Square, played hoops with kids and spoke to fans at NBA All-Star Crossover at the Moscone Center, and made a stop at Nike’s Future Game in Oakland.
“It’s intense, but a lot of fun,” Wembanyama told fans in response to a question from a moderator.
At that same appearance, the 21-year-old Frenchman offered encouragement to youngsters, whether they were involved in basketball or some other sport or activity.
“Work on your weaknesses so they become your strengths,” said Wembanyama, with his mother, Élodie de Fautereau, looking on.
Wembanyama capped the day cheering on Spurs rookie guard Stephon Castle at the Rising Stars mini-tournament at Chase Center in San Francisco.
The 7-foot-3 center’s busy weekend was set to continue Saturday in Oakland, where the All-Stars were set to practice at Oakland Arena after a session with the media. In the evening, he is scheduled to participate in the Skills Challenge at Chase Center with Spurs point guard Chris Paul before cheering on Castle in the Slam Dunk Contest.
The inaugural All-Star Game mini-tournament is set for Sunday night at Chase Center.
Asked during his session with fans who he thought would win MVP, Wembanyama said, “I have to bet on myself.”
