拉斯维加斯 — 2025年NBA选秀大会的状元和榜眼在周六的NBA夏季联赛中正面交锋，在圣安东尼奥马刺队以76-69战胜达拉斯独行侠队的比赛中，他们展现了下赛季可能出现的诱人前景。
状元 库珀·弗拉格 (Cooper Flagg) 砍下全场最高的31分，21投10中，比赛中还多次奉献精彩的扣篮表演。榜眼 迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 在他的夏季联赛首秀中仅上场20分钟就得到16分，此前他因腹股沟轻伤缺席了圣安东尼奥的所有比赛。
“没有比在这场比赛、在这样激动人心的球迷面前复出更好的时机了，”哈珀说道，“他打得很好，我也打得很好。我们算是向NBA世界展示了我们的实力。”
在托马斯&马克中心座无虚席的球馆里，现场不乏现役球员、前NBA球星，以及喜剧演员 塞德里克 (Cedric the Entertainer) 和演员 杰森·苏戴奇斯 (Jason Sudeikis) 等名人。哈珀在比赛开始45秒时，通过一次突破上篮为本场比赛首开纪录。弗拉格和哈珀开局都比较慢热，首节都只有4投1中，圣安东尼奥马刺队也借此建立了21-11的领先优势。
但当首节比赛还剩4.1秒时，两位热门新秀一对一对位时，观众们都站了起来。在那次对位中，哈珀在弗拉格的防守下，在回合结束时投失了一记24英尺的后撤步跳投。
进攻端，弗拉格有时表现挣扎，尤其是在马刺队侧翼 卡特·布莱恩特 (Carter Bryant) (2025年NBA选秀第14顺位新秀) 的防守下，布莱恩特被广泛看好将成为圣安东尼奥马刺队顶级的防守悍将之一。弗拉格仍然设法多次站上罚球线，13罚8中。
“我认为这是一个新的环境，新的设定，”弗拉格说道，“他们希望我能更具侵略性，做那样的事情。我觉得我今天在这方面做得好多了，就是能够站上罚球线，获得犯规，这帮助我更快地适应并进入状态。但我还是错失了一些罚球。我知道我妈妈可能不会对此感到高兴。”
弗拉格在第三节的最后30.3秒打出了他本场比赛最令人难忘的表现。弗拉格突破全场紧逼，完成一次突破上篮，将达拉斯独行侠队的比分追至仅差10分（57-47）。随后，他再次突破，在圣安东尼奥的 莱利·米尼克斯 (Riley Minix) 头上完成了一记势大力沉的扣篮，并在蜂鸣器响起时将米尼克斯的中场投篮扇飞。
“他一直在做出正确的选择，”独行侠夏季联赛主教练 乔什·布罗格哈默 (Josh Broghamer) 说道，“无论是突破防守者的紧逼，还是我们让他更多地扮演顺下者，或者几次无球跑动，以便他能更容易地接球，不用那么费力地把球运过半场，他总是在做出正确的选择，这总是令人欣喜的。”
哈珀最令人瞠目结舌的时刻之一出现在第二节还剩1分04秒时，当时他对 瑞恩·内姆哈德 (Ryan Nembhard) 完成了一次高高跃起的篮下封盖。这一球让马刺队友 维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 和 凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson) 从场边座位上跳了起来，托马斯&马克中心的观众也随之爆发出雷鸣般的欢呼。
“哈珀表现出色，你感受到了他的影响力，”马刺夏季联赛主教练 迈克·诺伊斯 (Mike Noyes) 说道，“他自己可能会觉得上场时间有点短。他很长时间没打比赛了。所以我们尝试合理地管理他的出场时间。当他在场上时，他打得很努力，并做出了正确的选择。”
在弗拉格的防守下，哈珀用一记10英尺的抛投打成“2+1”，结束了第二节。随后，哈珀命中加罚，帮助圣安东尼奥马刺队在半场结束时以33-32领先。
哈珀最终得到6个篮板、2次助攻、2次抢断和1次盖帽，而弗拉格则贡献了4个篮板、1次助攻和1次盖帽。
“今年我们还会和他们打很多次，”哈珀谈到弗拉格和独行侠队时表示，“所以，未来的对决一定会很精彩。我们俩都有一个共同点：我们都是竞争者。我们都会全力以赴地去竞争。”

Harper, Spurs outlast Flagg, Mavericks at NBA summer league
LAS VEGAS – The top two picks of the 2025 NBA draft faced off Saturday in the NBA summer league and flashed an enticing view of what might be on the horizon next season during the San Antonio Spurs’ 76-69 win over the Dallas Mavericks.
No. 1 pick Cooper Flagg racked up a game-high 31 points on 10-of-21 shooting on an afternoon that also featured multiple highlight-reel dunks. No. 2 selection Dylan Harper scored 16 points in just 20 minutes in his summer league debut after missing all of San Antonio’s previous matchups due to a minor groin injury.
“[There’s] not a better time to come back [than] in a game like this and a crowd as electrifying as this,” Harper said. “He had a good game. I had a good game. We kind of just showed the NBA world what we’re about.”
Performing before a packed house at Thomas & Mack Center that included current players and former NBA stars, as well as celebrities such as comedian Cedric the Entertainer and actor Jason Sudeikis, Harper poured in the first points of the game 45 seconds into the action on a drive to the basket. Both Flagg and Harper started slow, each hitting only 1 of 4 in the first quarter as San Antonio built a 21-11 lead.
But the crowd rose to its feet once the top picks matched up one-on-one with 4.1 seconds left in the first quarter. Harper missed a 24-foot stepback jumper at the end of that sequence with Flagg defending.
Offensively, Flagg struggled at times when guarded by Spurs wing Carter Bryant (the No. 14 pick of the 2025 NBA draft), who is widely projected to develop into one of San Antonio’s top defensive stoppers. Flagg still managed to earn several trips to the foul line, where he shot 8 of 13.
“I think it’s a new environment, new setting,” Flagg said. “They want to see me be aggressive and do that type of stuff. I think I did that a lot better today, just getting to the line, getting fouled, and that helped me to get comfortable and get settled in early. Still missed a bunch of free throws. I know my mom probably wasn’t very happy with that.”
Flagg would produce his most memorable sequence over the last 30.3 seconds of the third quarter. Flagg beat full-court pressure for a driving layup to pull Dallas to within 10 points (57-47). Then, he drove for a thunderous dunk over San Antonio’s Riley Minix, before swatting away Minix’s halfcourt heave at the buzzer.
“He just continues to make the right plays,” Mavericks summer league coach Josh Broghamer said. “Whether it’s a drive by [on] the guy pressuring him or we were using him a little bit more as a roller and off the ball a couple of times just to get him some easier catches so he wasn’t working so hard to bring the ball up the floor, he just continues to make the right plays, which is always great to see.”
One of Harper’s most eye-popping moments came with 1:04 left in the second quarter, when he swooped in for a high-flying block at the basket on Ryan Nembhard. The play jolted Spurs teammates Victor Wembanyama and Keldon Johnson from their courtside seats as the Thomas & Mack Center crowd roared.
“[Harper] was great, and you felt his impact,” Spurs summer league coach Mike Noyes said. “The stints were a little bit short he would say. He hasn’t played a game in a long time. So, we tried to manage that properly. When he was out there, he was playing hard, making the right play.”
Harper concluded the second quarter with an and-1 finish on a 10-foot floater with Flagg guarding. Harper connected on the ensuing free throw to give San Antonio a 33-32 lead at intermission.
Harper finished with 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and a block, while Flagg logged 4 rebounds, an assist and a block.
“We’re going to play them a lot this year,” Harper said of Flagg and the Mavericks. “So, the future battles are going to be great. One thing that we’ve both got: We’re just competitors. We’re going to go out and compete.”
