马刺球星维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 现身中国少林寺。这位法国篮球奇才在这座古老寺庙进行了为期10天的闭关禅修，并剃了光头。
嗯，这肯定比他新秀赛季前的染发造型更有禅意。
马刺球星维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 再次成为社交媒体的焦点，这次他以一个全新的光头形象现身中国郑州神圣的少林寺，在那里进行了为期10天的闭关修行。
这座寺庙欢迎希望学习禅宗冥想、少林功夫、传统中医药等内容的访客。
据美联社向NBA中国办公室证实，文班亚马正在少林寺。部分中国媒体也从少林寺方面确认了他的行踪。NBA官方微博账号的一篇社交媒体帖子中写道：“专注训练！”，并透露了文班亚马此行的计划。

这促成了文班亚马最新的病毒式传播照片，照片中他身着灰色僧袍，从脖子一直到耐克运动鞋，新剃的头颅微倾，若有所思地坐在那里，背景是华丽的雕像和陈设。
“维克托·文班亚马，正在中国长城现场，玩得很开心。太不可思议了，”他在马刺官方账号及其他渠道发布到Instagram的一段视频中说道。
文班亚马最新“支线任务”的其他照片显示，他在寺庙中与几位少林僧人共进晚餐，并沿着中国山坡上的一条狭窄小径，开启了他的精神和个人启蒙之旅。

这次休假是《印度时报》所称的一次更广泛的中国文化深度体验的一部分，其中包括参观长城和品尝当地美食。据报道，文班亚马特意调整了他的旅行计划，以便能全身心投入少林寺生活方式的精神和身体训练，为期整整10天。
这座古老的少林寺已有1500多年的历史，被认为是功夫的发源地。
文班亚马预计将在未来几周返回美国，并很可能随马刺代表团下月前往拉斯维加斯参加NBA夏季联赛。马刺队与其他许多球队一样，经常让多名NBA阵容中的球员随夏季联赛球队一起参加各类活动。
这位21岁的法国球员本赛季常规赛盖帽数领跑全联盟，尽管他的赛季在二月份——就在他首次亮相全明星赛后不久——因右肩深静脉血栓而提前结束。马刺队希望他能在下赛季开始时上场比赛，而法国男篮国家队也表示希望文班亚马能够代表国家队参加今夏的欧洲篮球锦标赛。
文班亚马是2024年度最佳新秀，并被广泛认为是本赛季最佳防守球员奖的有力竞争者。他本赛季尝试了403次三分球并送出176次盖帽——NBA历史上从未有球员单赛季同时达到这些数据——在深静脉血栓被发现时，他场均贡献24.3分、11个篮板、3.8次盖帽和3.7次助攻。
NBA历史上唯一一位在单赛季同时达成所有这些数据的球员是卡里姆·阿卜杜勒-贾巴尔 (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar)，他在1975-76赛季做到了这一点。

Wembanyama shaves his head as part of monk retreat in China
Spurs star Victor Wembenyama shown at Shaolin Temple in China. The French phenom shaved his head as part of a 10-day retreat at the ancient temple.
Well, it’s certainly more Zen than that dye job before his rookie season.
Spurs star Victor Wembanyama is once again turning heads on social media, this time with a newly shaved head to go with a 10-day retreat at the hallowed Shaolin Temple in Zhenghou, China.
The temple is a place that welcomes visitors who wish to study Chan meditation, Shaolin Kung Fu, traditional Chinese medicine and more.
The Associated Press confirmed with the NBA China office that Wembanyama is at the temple, and some Chinese media also confirmed his presence there with the temple itself. “Concentrate on training!” read part of a social media post on the NBA’s Weibo account, which also revealed the plans for the stay.

That prompted the latest viral photo of Wembanyama, which features him seated in gray robes from neck to Nikes, newly shorn head tilted in contemplation against a backdrop of ornate figurines and furnishings.
“Victor Wembanyama, live from China, on the Great Wall itself, having an amazing time. It’s crazy," he said on a video posted to Instagram by the Spurs’ account and others.
Other photos of Wembanyama’s latest side quest feature him dining with several Shaolin monks at the temple and beginning his journey to spiritual and personal enlightenment along a narrow path in the Chinese hillside.

The sabbatical is part of what the Times of India calls a larger cultural dive through China, which included a visit to the Great Wall of China and local eats. Wembanyama reportedly tweaked his travel plans just so he could commit the full 10 days to the mental and physical training of the Shaolin way of life.
The ancient Shaolin Monastery is a little more than 1,500 years old and is considered the birthplace of Kung Fu.
Wembanyama is expected back in the U.S. in the coming weeks and likely will be with the Spurs’ delegation that goes to the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas next month. The Spurs, like many teams, often have many players on their NBA roster with the summer league team for various events.
The 21-year-old Frenchman led the NBA in blocked shots during the regular season, despite his season ending in February — just after his first All-Star Game appearance — because of deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder. The Spurs are hopeful that he will be able to play when next season begins, and the French national team also has expressed hope that Wembanyama will be able to play for his country at this summer’s European championships.
Wembanyama was the league’s Rookie of the Year in 2024 and was widely expected to be a front-runner in this season’s Defensive Player of the Year race. He attempted 403 3-pointers and blocked 176 shots this season — no player in NBA history has ever finished a season with those numbers — and he was averaging 24.3 points, 11 rebounds, 3.8 blocks and 3.7 assists when the DVT was detected.
The only other player in NBA history to finish a season averaging all those numbers was Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in 1975-76.
