纳兹·里德本该更谨慎一些。
在明尼苏达森林狼队周日以 141-124 战胜马刺队的比赛上半场还剩大约 4 分半钟时，森林狼队中锋向篮下漂移，让哈里森·巴恩斯(Harrison Barnes)在右侧底角获得空位。几秒钟后，这位 32 岁的前锋在接到克里斯·保罗(Chris Paul)从弧顶传来的球后，命中了一记接球就投的三分球。
让NBA顶级外线射手之一获得空位绝不是一个好主意，尤其是当他擅长投底角三分时，这项技能帮助巴恩斯在联盟中蓬勃发展了 13 个赛季，并且应该能帮助他再打几年。
“我总是和伙计们开玩笑说，底角三分球能维持生计，”巴恩斯说。“我已经说了 13 年了，而且一直很有效。”
这一球突显了巴恩斯本赛季在三分线外的效率有多高。在周一晚上对阵达拉斯的比赛之前，他以职业生涯最佳的 42.4% 的命中率，场均出手 4.4 次。
巴恩斯是马刺队最高效的远距离威胁点，并与洛杉矶快船队的诺曼·鲍威尔(Norman Powell)并列NBA三分球命中率第九。
巴恩斯在对阵明尼苏达的比赛中 5 投 2 中，得到 15 分，比他的赛季平均得分高出 4 分，这也是他本赛季第 38 次得分上双。这也是他本赛季第 34 次单场至少投中两个三分球。
在马刺队去年夏天通过一笔三方交易得到哈里森·巴恩斯(Harrison Barnes)时，他职业生涯的三分球命中率为 37.9%。在为萨克拉门托效力六个赛季后，巴恩斯来到圣安东尼奥，得到了主教练格雷格·波波维奇(Gregg Popovich)的许可，可以尽情投篮。
“这就是波波教练希望我做的事情，”巴恩斯说。“他告诉我他希望我投篮。他希望我充满信心地投篮，并努力帮助拉开场上空间，这就是进入本赛季的重点。我想给克里斯·保罗(Chris Paul)、斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle)、文班亚马(Wembanyama)、德文·瓦塞尔(Devin Vassell)、凯尔登·约翰逊(Keldon Johnson)以及现在的达龙·福克斯(De’Aaron Fox)留下足够的活动空间。”
自从金州勇士队在 2012 年 NBA 选秀中以第七顺位选中来自北卡罗来纳大学的哈里森·巴恩斯(Harrison Barnes)后，他一直很擅长这个角色。
这位 32 岁，来自爱荷华州埃姆斯市的球员，在其职业生涯中有九次赛季的三分球命中率达到或超过 38%。他本赛季已经投中 106 个三分球，出手 250 次，使他连续八个赛季至少投中 100 个三分球，并且成为 NBA 中自 2017 年以来每个赛季都达到这一里程碑的 11 名球员之一。
其他球员包括勒布朗·詹姆斯(LeBron James)、詹姆斯·哈登(James Harden)、德文·布克(Devin Booker)、小蒂姆·哈达威(Tim Hardaway Jr.)、杰森·塔图姆(Jayson Tatum)、多诺万·米切尔(Donovan Mitchell)、巴迪·希尔德(Buddy Hield)、弗雷德·范弗利特(Fred VanVleet)、劳里·马尔卡宁(Lauri Markkanen)和 CJ·麦科勒姆(CJ McCollum)。
2025 年 3 月 4 日星期二，在德克萨斯州圣安东尼奥的 Frost Bank 中心举行的 NBA 比赛中，圣安东尼奥马刺队前锋哈里森·巴恩斯 (40) 在第二节暂停期间与圣安东尼奥马刺队代理主教练米奇·约翰逊交谈。马刺队以 127-113 击败篮网队。
这些事实和数据突显了巴恩斯职业生涯的一个标志：稳定性。
“我们从很多不同的方面或角度谈论过它，包括他的准备、他的态度、他的举止，”马刺队代理主教练米奇·约翰逊(Mitch Johnson)说，自从名人堂教练波波维奇在 11 月 2 日轻微中风后，他一直在代理执教。“很多时候，当你在准备、个人生活以及你为比赛做准备或赛后恢复所做的一切中找到这种稳定性时，比赛也会随之而来。
“他在这方面做得很好。在很多方面，他一直是我们在全年比赛中的稳定力量。”
马刺队替补前锋朱利安·尚帕尼(Julian Champagnie)称巴恩斯“在他所做的一切中都很稳定”。
“他有一句话，而且是真的：你如何做一件事，就如何做所有事，”尚帕尼说。“这就是他的生活方式。他只是日复一日地生活，做他自己的事情。”
尚帕尼场均出手 5.8 次三分球，命中率为 36.2%。他说，他试图效仿巴恩斯，希望能成为一名更出色的外线威胁点。
“HB 在很早来到体育馆方面有一个非常严格的日程安排，”尚帕尼说。“他有他的常规，这是我今年试图从 HB 那里学到的东西之一，那就是创建我自己的常规。如果你有这个，你就会知道这一天会发生什么。你在白天完成你的工作，它会转化为比赛。他在训练中的投篮方式与他在比赛中的投篮方式相同。”
巴恩斯说，除了在训练和投篮训练中进行大量的投篮之外，他还尽量注意他将收到的各种传球、他的脚步动作，以及最重要的是，始终充满信心地投篮的必要性，尤其是在他从底角出手时。
本赛季，巴恩斯的底角投篮命中率为 47.4%，其中右侧底角的命中率为 52.2%。
“最重要的是继续寻找空间，”巴恩斯说。“现在的球员更加充满活力。你看看联盟，看看球员的比赛方式，看看球队的比赛方式。关键在于空间和得分，所以任何时候只要我能尽量保持移动，并为自己或我的队友创造空位投篮机会，这就是我努力做的事情。”

Naz Reid should have known better.
With about 4 1/2 minutes left in the first half of Minnesota’s 141-124 win over the Spurs on Sunday, the Timberwolves center drifted toward the basket to leave Harrison Barnes open in the right corner. Seconds later, the 32-year-old forward drained a catch-and-shoot 3 after hauling in a Chris Paul pass from the top of the key.
Leaving one of the NBA’s top perimeter shooters open is never a good idea, especially when he’s deadly from the corners, a skill that has helped Barnes thrive in the league for 13 seasons and should help keep him around for several more.
“I always joke with guys that corner threes keep the lights on,” Barnes said. “I’ve been saying that for 13 years and it’s worked.”
The play underscored how effective Barnes has been shooting from beyond the arc this season. Entering Monday night’s home game against Dallas, he had connected on a career-best 42.4% on 4.4 attempts per outing.
Barnes is the Spurs’ most efficient deep threat and is tied for ninth in the NBA with the Los Angeles Clippers’ Norman Powell in 3-point percentage.
Barnes hit 2 of 5 against Minnesota on his way to 15 points, four above his season average and the 38th time he’s scored in double figures this season. It was also the 34th time this season he’s finished a game with at least two 3-point field goals.
A career 37.9% shooter from distance when the Spurs acquired him this past summer in a three-team trade, Barnes arrived in San Antonio after six seasons with Sacramento with the green light from coach Gregg Popovich to let 'em fly.
“That was the thing coach Pop wanted me to do,” Barnes said. “He told me he wanted me to shoot the ball. He wanted me to shoot with confidence and try to help space the floor, so that was the focus coming into the season. I wanted to give guys, whether it’s CP (Chris Paul), Steph (Castle),Vic (Wembanyama), Devin (Vassell), Keldon (Johnson) and now (De’Aaron) Fox, room to operate.”
It’s a role Barnes has excelled at throughout his career after Golden State selected him seventh overall out of North Carolina in the 2012 NBA Draft.
Nine times during his career the 32-year-old native of Ames, Iowa, has finished a season having connected on 38% or better from distance. He has made 106 of 250 this season, giving him eight consecutive seasons with at least 100 3s and making him one of only 11 players in the NBA to reach that milestone in every season since 2017.
The others are LeBron James, James Harden, Devin Booker, Tim Hardaway Jr., Jayson Tatum, Donovan Mitchell, Buddy Hield, Fred VanVleet, Lauri Markkanen and CJ McCollum.
San Antonio Spurs forward Harrison Barnes (40) talks to San Antonio Spurs acting head coach Mitch Johnson during a second quarter timeout in the NBA game against the Brooklyn Nets at Frost Bank Center on Tuesday, March 4, 2025, in San Antonio, Texas. The Spurs defeated the Nets, 127-113.
Those facts and figures highlight a hallmark of Barnes’ career: consistency.
“We’ve talked about it in a lot of different aspects or lenses in terms of his preparation, his approach, his demeanor,” said acting Spurs coach Mitch Johnson, who has been filling in for Popovich since the Hall of Famer suffered a mild stroke Nov. 2. "And a lot of times, when you find that consistency in your preparation, in your personal life and in all the things you do to get ready for the game or to recover after it, the game follows.
“He’s done a great job of that. He’s just been a steady hand for us all year in a lot of ways.”
Spurs reserve forward Julian Champagnie called Barnes “consistent in everything he does.”
“He has a saying, and it’s true: How you do one thing in life is how you do everything in life,” Champagnie said. “And that’s just how he lives. He just takes it day by day and does his thing.”
Champagnie, who is shooting 36.2% from downtown on 5.8 attempts per game, said he’s tried to emulate Barnes in the hopes of becoming an even better perimeter threat.
“HB has got a strict, strict schedule when it comes to coming to the gym early,” Champagnie said. “He has his routine, and that’s one thing I’ve tried to take from HB this year is to kind of create my own routine. If you have that, you just know what’s going to happen during the day. You get your work in during the day and it kind of just translates to the game. The same way he’s shooting in practice is the same way he’s shooting in the game.”
Barnes said in addition to getting up a lot of shots at practices and shootarounds, he tries to be mindful of the variety of passes he will receive, his footwork and, above all else, the need to always shoot with confidence, especially when he’s launching them from the corners.
For the season, Barnes is connecting on 47.4% of his shots from the corners, including 52.2% from the right one.
“The biggest thing is just continuing to just find space,” Barnes said. “Guys are much more dynamic now. You look around the league, the way guys play, the way teams play. It’s about spacing and scoring, so any time I can just try to just stay moving and just create open shots for either myself or my teammates, that’s what I try to do.”
