NBA“外星人”如何修炼成“少林高手”？

当大多数NBA球星选择在米科诺斯岛或加勒比海度过休赛期时， 维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 却选择在少林寺进行为期10天的精神修行特训。这，当然是他的风格。

这位平时以阅读哲学、科幻和奇幻书籍为乐，视社交媒体如氪石的年轻人，却选择利用这个夏天学习古老的中国武术。不知怎的，对于联盟有史以来最具“外星人”般天赋的球员来说，这又显得如此合情合理。

我本人在中国各地游历了25年，一直着迷地关注着文班在中国（即“中央之国”）的奇遇——尽管我承认，我从未有机会真正踏足少林寺。但我们这位法国“竹竿”呢？他却一头扎进了为期10天的僧侣生活、冥想修行，以及或许是他这般身材所能展现出的最优雅的功夫套路。

这位7尺4寸的“外星人”在寺庙里做什么？

想象一下：文班凌晨5点就起床打坐冥想，然后花费数小时完善少林功夫套路——当你的臂展足以庇护一个小村庄时，这些动作却奇迹般地显得如此优雅。寺庙的日常训练，简直就是文班在篮球训练中“打了鸡血”的升级版——早起、残酷的体能训练，以及足以让海军陆战队队员都为之落泪的精神纪律。

少林寺的训练体系包括了基础的功夫技巧、气功（Qi Gong）内功修炼以及传统兵器训练。但关键在于：所有这些都围绕着“身心合一”展开。这同样也是区分优秀运动员和超凡运动员的关键所在。

想想看。让少林僧侣身法如水的柔韧性训练？正是这种训练，让文班能将他那修长的肢体扭曲成不可思议的防守姿态，让 斯蒂芬·库里 (Steph Curry) 都不禁开始怀疑人生。教会僧侣驾驭内在能量的冥想？那正是文班在面对对手包夹，如《黑客帝国》中的尼奥般，从容淡定。

“这是一次很棒的经历，”文班亚马说道，“我去那里的目标是让我的身体去做一些它不习惯的事情，从而拓展我的运动范围和力量。这可能与我平时习惯做的事情截然不同。”那具体包括了什么？“功夫。每天都练。那就像是一个纯素食的寺庙、修道院……我与世隔绝。”

疯狂背后的方法论

纪尧姆·阿尔基耶 (Guillaume Alquier) ，文班的长期训练师，三年来一直在宣扬这一理念。当被问及为什么柔韧性对于一个天生优势已经足以打破篮球规则的球员来说如此重要时，阿尔基耶在ESPN的一篇报道中解释了他与文班合作的方式：“这些训练课程通常在腿部、上半身和协调性训练之间交替进行，利用一项训练的休息时间来练习另一项。我们拉伸不仅仅是为了变得更柔韧，更是为了磨练对这种柔韧性的控制，并在此过程中提高协调性。” 此处

从外部来看，文班的少林休假之旅似乎只是 维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 个人经历中又一个异想天开的篇章。但深入挖掘，你会发现这实则是以精神启迪为伪装的纯粹篮球天赋。

古老智慧，现代统治力

少林哲学教导，掌握功夫即是掌握生活，通过纪律和日常训练来掌控自我，实现目标。听起来熟悉吗？这正是将一个瘦弱的法国少年，塑造成NBA自 张伯伦 和 奥尼尔 时代以来最具统治力球员的相同蓝图。

当他的同龄人还在苦练三分投射时，文班却在学习如何激发他内在的“僧侣”潜能。说实话？联盟应该感到恐惧了。

这位球员的移动方式本来就如同来自另一个星球，如今更将2000年的中国武术哲学融入了他的“工具箱”。那种帮助少林修行者达成不可能的精神纪律，现在掌握在了一个能用小脚趾盖帽的球员手中。

这里用英文解释了少林寺的日常训练、其设计理念，以及少林修行者如何通过纪律掌控努力并实现更高目标。

或许，联盟的其他球队也应该开始预订寺庙静修之旅了。因为当他们在苦练跳投时，文班却在这里，一步一个“鹤形踢”，实现着篮球上的“开悟”。

Victor Wembanyama’s trip to the Shaolin temple

How the NBA’s Alien Went Full Shaolin.

While most NBA stars spend their offseason in Mykonos or the Caribbean, Victor Wembanyama chose a 10-day spiritual bootcamp at a Shaolin temple. Because of course he did.

The young man who reads philosophy, sci-fi and fantasy books for fun and treats social media like kryptonite just spent his summer learning ancient Chinese martial arts. And somehow, this makes perfect sense for the most alien talent the league has ever seen.

Having bounced around China for 25 years myself, I’ve watched Wemby’s Middle Kingdom adventures with fascination—though I’ll admit, I’ve never had the opportunity to actually step foot in a Shaolin temple. But our French stick figure? He dove headfirst into 10 days of monks, meditation, and probably the most graceful kung fu forms ever performed by someone of his stature.

What Does a 7’4” Alien Do in a Monastery?

Picture this: Wemby rolling out of bed at 5 AM for meditation, then spending hours perfecting Shaolin forms that somehow look elegant when your wingspan could shelter a small village. The temple’s daily grind reads like Wemby’s basketball routine on steroids—early mornings, brutal conditioning, and enough mental discipline to make Navy SEALs weep.

The Shaolin playbook includes foundational kung fu techniques, Qi Gong energy work, and traditional weapons training. But here’s the kicker: it’s all built around the mind-body connection. Something that also separates good athletes from transcendent ones.

Think about it. The same flexibility work that has Shaolin monks flowing like water? That’s what lets Wemby contort his endless limbs into impossible defensive positions that make Steph Curry rethink his life choices. The meditation that teaches monks to harness internal energy? That’s Wemby staying zen while double-teams collapse around him like he’s Neo in The Matrix.

“It was a great experience,” Wembanyama said. “My goal going there was putting my body through things that it’s not used to doing and allowing my range of movement and strength. This was probably as very different as possible from what I’m used to doing.” What did that entail? “Kung fu. Everyday. It was like a vegan temple, monastery. … I was isolated,”

The Method Behind the Madness

Guillaume Alquier, Wemby’s longtime trainer, has been preaching this gospel for three years. When asked why flexibility matters for someone whose natural advantages already break basketball, Alquier explained how he works with Victor: “these sessions typically alternate between legs, upper body and coordination drills, utilizing rest time for one thing to work on something else. We stretch not just to be flexible, but to sharpen control over that flexibility and improve coordination in the process.” in an ESPN story. here

From the outside, Wemby’s Shaolin sabbatical looks like another quirky chapter in the Victor Wembanyama Experience. But dig deeper, and it’s pure basketball genius disguised as spiritual enlightenment.

The Shaolin philosophy teaches that mastering kung fu means mastering life, taking control through discipline and routine to achieve your goals. Sound familiar? It’s the same blueprint that turned a skinny French teenager into the most unstoppable force the NBA has seen since Wilt and Shaq’s days.

Ancient Wisdom, Modern Dominance

While his peers were probably working on their three-point shooting, Wemby was learning how to channel his inner monk. And honestly? The league should be terrified.

This is a player who already moves like he’s from another planet, now adding 2,000 years of Chinese martial arts philosophy to his toolkit. The same mental discipline that helps Shaolin practitioners achieve the impossible is now in the hands of someone who can block shots with his pinky toe.

Here’s an explanation, in English, of the Shaolin routine, its design and ultimately how Shaolin practitioners, through discipline, control their efforts and achieve higher goals.

Maybe the rest of the league should start booking temple retreats. Because while they’re working on their jumpers, Wemby’s out here achieving basketball enlightenment, one crane kick at a time.
