在这场对圣安东尼奥毫无亮点的比赛中,勇士凭借进攻端的精湛表现摧毁了马刺。
在输给凯尔特人一场还算体面的比赛后,马刺在背靠背的第二场比赛中被勇士队彻底击溃。金州勇士撕裂了圣安东尼奥的防守,并暴露了这支银黑军团在进攻端缺乏创造力的弱点,最终以148-106惨败。
比赛的第一个回合就预示了马刺的走向。一次防守崩溃导致吉米·巴特勒(Jimmy Butler)轻松扣篮得分。上半场,马刺在防守端犯下了无数错误,勇士队主要利用斯蒂芬·库里(Stephen Curry)作为诱饵,引诱马刺对其进行双人包夹,从而利用形成的4打3机会。他们在进攻端的化学反应与圣安东尼奥在防守端的糟糕沟通形成了鲜明对比。更糟糕的是,马刺失误不断,无论是首发阵容在场上,还是活力十足的第二阵容上场时,都是如此。当乔丹·麦克劳林(Jordan McLuaghlin)在第一节获得上场时间时,很明显马刺没有任何应对之策。第一节结束后,勇士队领先17分。
第二节初,马刺的防守有所改善,部分原因是库里不在场上,以及失误带来的转换进攻机会减少,但马刺始终无法得分。德文·瓦塞尔(Devin Vassell)手感不佳,斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle)也找不到突破的手感。对于主队来说,一切都显得异常艰难,勇士队经常限制马刺的首选进攻方式,迫使他们进行高难度投篮。而在进攻端,一旦库里回归,勇士队的情况就变得轻松多了。一支进攻乏力、无法创造良好得分机会、只能勉强出手糟糕投篮的球队,加上一支漏洞百出、过度协防且轮转迟缓的防守,注定会遭遇一场惨败,而比分牌也反映了这一点。半场结束时,勇士队领先24分,比赛似乎已经结束。
下半场开始时,瓦塞尔手感火热,勇士队的进攻也不像之前那么犀利,这可能是因为他们有些自满,但失误和其他首发球员的挣扎扼杀了任何让比赛变得体面的机会。凯尔登·约翰逊(Keldon Johnson)打出了一段不错的表现,但在勇士队状态不佳的情况下,马刺也无法获得足够的防守反击机会来缩小差距。一旦勇士队恢复状态,领先优势就会迅速扩大。下半场的大部分时间都成了垃圾时间。圣安东尼奥现在正经历着四连败。
比赛笔记
- 唯一得分上双的首发球员是瓦塞尔,这要归功于他在第三节的出色表现。其他人都状态不佳。其他首发球员合计24投23中,助攻数和失误数一样多。索汉和卡斯尔的三分球表现挣扎。对于首发阵容来说,这简直是一场灾难性的表现。
- 半场阵地战中的防守崩溃非常糟糕,但勇士队多年来一直在一起打球,并且拥有联盟历史上最好的诱饵库里,他们最擅长迷惑对手的防守,所以这可以算是一个借口。然而,令人震惊的糟糕转换防守是完全不可接受的,而且这个问题已经存在一段时间了。勇士队在马刺得分后多次得分,因为马刺要么回防迟缓,要么没有盯紧自己的防守对象。这是一个背靠背比赛的第二场,而且现在是三月下旬,但最糟糕的情况是球员们养成坏习惯。
- 凯尔登·约翰逊再次出色地提供了替补席的得分火力。他在三月份的替补球员得分榜上名列前茅,在对阵勇士的比赛中得到19分,前一天晚上对阵凯尔特人的比赛中得到23分。当外线投篮命中时,他的比赛就会变得轻松起来。
- 查尔斯·贝西(Charles Bassey)在因伤缺席一个多月后复出。他的表现一团糟,这也是意料之中的。俾斯麦·比永博(Bismack Biyombo)没有上场。米奇·约翰逊(Mitch Johnson)解释说,他们只是因为换防能力而选择了小个阵容,但未来是否会有中锋获得重要上场时间还有待观察。约翰逊似乎更喜欢索汉和桑德罗·马穆克拉什维利(Sandro Mamukelashvili)。
- 说到马穆,他完成了两双。朱利安·尚帕涅(Julian Champagnie)和乔丹·麦克劳林(Jordan McLaughlin)作为替补也表现稳健。马拉基·布兰纳姆(Malaki Branham)在垃圾时间展现了他的得分能力。除了贝西,最令人失望的替补球员是布雷克·韦斯利(Blake Wesley),他看起来很害怕上篮,并且投丢了他的两个三分球。
- 米奇·约翰逊很好地模仿了格雷格·波波维奇(Gregg Popovich)的风格,先是在首发球员表现不佳时进行了全阵容轮换,然后在球队大比分落后时因试图为球队注入活力而被判技术犯规。这两种举动都没有奏效,但至少他尝试了。
比赛最佳瞬间
马穆今年的三分球命中率超过40%,并且每36分钟可以贡献21分10篮板3助攻。当然,他的大部分上场时间都是在垃圾时间或者最近马刺没有任何目标的时候,但他正在将自己确立为一名高效的替补球员。下赛季他是否应该回归是一个难题,但他看起来像是一名NBA球员。

Spurs look clueless in deflating blowout loss to the Warriors
The Warriors destroyed the Spurs with a masterclass of offensive execution in a game devoid of silver linings for San Antonio.
After a respectable loss against the Celtics, the Spurs got outclassed in the second game of a back-to-back against the Warriors. Golden State picked San Antonio’s defense apart and exposed the Silver and Black’s lack of shot creation on a 148-106 walloping.
The first play of the game foreshadowed how things would go for the Spurs. A defensive breakdown resulted in a wide-open dunk for Jimmy Butler. The mistakes on that end were plentiful throughout the first half, with the Warriors using Stephen Curry mostly as a decoy to get the Spurs to send two players to him and taking advantage of the 4-on-3 opportunities that resulted. Their chemistry on offense was as good as San Antonio’s communication on defense was bad. It didn’t help that turnovers plagued the Silver and Black, both when the starters were on the floor but also when a much more energetic second unit checked in. It was clear the were no answers when Jordan McLuaghlin got first quarter minutes. After one, Golden State was up 17.
The defense improved early in the second frame, in part because Curry wasn’t on the floor and the transition buckets resulting from turnovers weren’t there, but the Spurs just couldn’t buy a bucket. Devin Vassell’s shot was off and Stephon Castle couldn’t find his touch on drives. Everything was hard for the home team, with Golden State often taking away the Silver and Black’s preferred option and forcing tough shots. On the other end, once Curry was back, things got easier for the visitors. An anemic offense that can’t create good looks and settles for bad ones, combined with a porous defense that overhelped initially and was late to rotate is a recipe for a blowout, and the scoreboard reflected it. The Warriors were up 24 at the half, and the game looked over.
Vassell got hot to start the second half and Golden State didn’t look as sharp offensively, likely due to complacency, but turnovers and general struggles from the rest of the starters killed any chance to make it respectable. Keldon Johnson had a good stretch, but it was impossible to get enough stops to make a dent in the deficit while the Warriors weren’t at their best. Once they got it going again, the lead just ballooned. Most of the second half was garbage time. San Antonio is now on a four-game losing streak.
Game notes
- The only starter to score in double digits was Devin Vassell, thanks to a strong stretch in the third quarter. No one else had it going. The others combined for 23 points in 24 shots and as many assists as turnovers. Sochan and Castle struggled from beyond the arc. It was just a disaster of a performance from the starting lineup.
- The defensive breakdowns in the half-court were ugly, but the Warriors are the best at confusing defenses after years of playing together and having the best decoy in the history of the league in Stephen Curry, so there’s an excuse. The appallingly bad transition defense is just unacceptable, and it has been a problem for a while. The Warriors scored several times after made buckets, as the Spurs were either late to run back or didn’t track their assignments. It was a SEGABABA, and it’s late March, but the worst thing that could happen is players forming bad habits.
- Keldon Johnson was once again great at providing bench scoring. He leads all bench players in points in March and had 19 against the Warriors after having 23 against the Celtics the night before. When the outside shot falls, things get easier for him.
- Charles Bassey returned to action after over a month out with injury. He was a mess, which was to be expected. Bismack Biyombo didn’t play. Mitch Johnson explained that they just went small because of switchability, but it will be interesting to see if either center gets significant minutes going forward. Johnson seems to favor Sochan and Sandro Mamukelashvili.
- Speaking of Mamu, he finished with a double-double. Julian Champagnie and Jordan McLaughlin were also solid off the bench. Malaki Branham showed his scoring ability in garbage time. Aside from Bassey, the most disappointing bench guy was Blake Wesley, who looked terrified of going for layups and missed his two threes.
- Mitch Johnson did a good Gregg Popovich impression, first doing a full lineup change when the starters played poorly and then getting called for a tech in an attempt to bring some energy to the team when they were down big. Neither gesture worked, but at least he tried.
Play of the game
Mamu is shooting over 40 percent on threes this year and is averaging 21-10-3 per 36 minutes. Granted, a lot of his minutes have been in garbage time or recently, when the Spurs were not playing for anything, but he’s establishing himself as a productive bench guy. Whether he should be back next season is a tough question, but he seems like an NBA player.

Next up: vs. Orlando Magic on Tuesday
The Magic will visit San Antonio. They are not as good as the Celtics or Warriors, but it should be a challenging matchup, especially with the size and scoring they have at the forward spots.
