经过数轮激烈鏖战，圣安东尼奥马刺队史一对一锦标赛正走向高潮。四位堪称队史最伟大的球员——蒂姆·邓肯 (Tim Duncan)、马努·吉诺比利 (Manu Ginobili)、乔治·格文 (George Gervin) 和大卫·罗宾逊 (David Robinson)——在击败了多位名人堂成员、全明星球员、NBA总冠军甚至一名外星人后，成功晋级半决赛。现在，他们将一决高下，以（铁杆球迷的投票）决出谁才是队史最强的单挑王。
上一轮的官方投票结果及百分比如下：
在我们进入对决分析前，再次回顾一下比赛规则：
- 每位球员都处于其马刺生涯的巅峰时期。因此，像科怀·伦纳德 (Kawhi Leonard) 或多米尼克·威尔金斯 (Dominique Wilkins) 这样的球员，将以他们在马刺的巅峰赛季状态为准，而非其整个职业生涯的最佳状态。
- 比赛采用传统的一对一规则：半场，比赛采用1分球和2分球制，先得到11分者获胜，没有进攻篮板，得分后需回球。
- 本次比赛采用交替球权制，而非“进球方继续进攻”的规则。
- 比赛为单败淘汰制。一旦失利，球员即被淘汰。
请在下方的投票中选出您心目中的四强胜者。
蒂姆·邓肯 (1) vs. 马努·吉诺比利 (5)
Marilyn: 这是史上最伟大强力前锋与历史最佳第六人的对决。尽管这两位球员的历史地位存在不小差距，但马努的创造力足以让他在比赛中保持竞争力。然而，他面对的是历史最伟大的防守者之一，这位防守巨匠却匪夷所思地从未赢得过年度最佳防守球员奖。巅峰时期的蒂姆拥有顶级的防守技巧、纪律性和横向移动速度，足以限制住他的队友；同时，他在低位的身材和力量优势也能让他碾压对手轻松得分，并最终晋级。
Jacob: 在这次锦标赛中，很难找到比这更合适的对决了。NBA历史上最具标志性的一段辉煌时期背后的两位巨星，将在此展开终极荣誉之战（我知道我有点夸张了）。即便存在身材劣势，马努的得分能力也让这场对决充满看点。但邓肯是一位强悍的防守者，他将在身体对抗上完全统治这场比赛。我们似乎命中注定将迎来一场“大基本功”对决“海军上将”的决赛。我预计，这至少会实现一半。
Jesus: 马努能走到这里实属不易。拉里·凯农 (Larry Kenon) 和科怀·伦纳德本都有可能将他淘汰。甚至可以说，科怀本应是晋级的那一个。不过，作为有史以来最具竞争性和创造力的球员之一，他设法在两位身材更高大、得分能力相近的对手身上占得先机，这依然令人信服。但他的征程也该到此为止了。在国家队层面，吉诺比利曾在2002年男篮世界杯上击败过邓肯一次，而那时的蒂米正值巅峰。对于任何与他对位的精英大个子来说，他都是一个防守噩梦。他会让比赛充满悬念，但巅峰邓肯终将胜出。“大基本功”在低位无人可挡，并且还拥有一手跳投。以他的体型而言，他移动敏捷，是一位防守天才，而且心态冷静，不会被马努的魔力所动摇。即便对手是吉诺比利这样的强者，如果邓肯输了，那将是本次锦标赛最大的冷门。
J.R.: 我本不愿称马努为劣势方，但事实如此。面对吉诺比利，“大基本功”无疑是绝对的热门。既然这场对决如此牵动我的心弦，我就更不能感情用事了。我必须认真对待，为此，我需要记起巅峰时期的蒂米速度有多快，他有多敏捷，弹跳有多高。我需要记起他二次、三次起跳的速度，以及对手们如何在他身上撞得人仰马翻。我必须专注于他那超凡脱俗的、从不轻易被投篮假动作晃起的防守定力。最后，我必须提醒自己，让你最喜欢的球员输给历史第一大前锋，也并非世界末日。
大卫·罗宾逊 (2) vs. 乔治·格文 (3)
Marilyn: 如果“海军上将”能战胜“外星人”，那他也能击败一个身材更小的“冰人”。别误会，格文是马刺队史最强得分手，他肯定能得分，但罗宾逊同样也是历史最伟大的防守者之一，并且拥有足以在进攻端压倒格文的力量和得分威力。不出所料，马刺队史最伟大的两位球员，两位大个子，都将晋级。
Jacob: 在对阵维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 时我没有投给罗宾逊，但这一次我会选他。“冰人”的球风很流畅，面对身材更高大的罗宾逊也能得分，但我认为他在防守内线的这位大个子时毫无胜算。罗宾逊将晋级决赛，上演一场两位标志性大个子的巅峰对决。
Jesus: 很少有球员能像“冰人”那样，在进攻端既具观赏性又拥有毁灭性的效率。我绝无贬低他在进攻端伟大的意思，毕竟，他可是手握四届得分王的男人。但大卫·罗宾逊也曾拿下过一次得分王，并在一场比赛中狂砍71分。由于他在防守端和篮板上是绝对的野兽，加之本身就是一名顶级的进攻球员，“海军上将”的得分能力常常被人有所低估，但这个男人绝对是砍分高手。当你将他攻防两端的统治力与联盟史上最顶级的运动天赋相结合时，你得到的就是一个绝对的对位噩梦。格文会得分，因为这是他比联盟中99%的职业球员都做得更好的事情。但罗宾逊对他来说，应该是难以逾越的高山。
J.R.: 对我来说，这场四强对决的胜负之分，几乎是我能想象到的最简单明了的。关键在于，两名球员都能砍下高分，但大卫的防守堪称疯狂，而格文的防守最差也算堪用，最好时也只是略高于平均水平。这场对决的赢家是50号，而且我认为比赛悬念不大。

Pounding the Rock’s All-Time Spurs 1-on-1 Tournament: Final Four
After several hard fought rounds, the San Antonio Spurs All-Time 1-on-1 Tournament is reaching its climax. Arguably the four best Spurs of all time have overcome Hall-of-Famers, All-Stars, NBA champions and even an alien to advance to the semi-finals. Now Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, George Gervin and David Robinson will clash to decide who is the best 1-on-1 player in the franchise’s history (based on votes from a pool of dedicated fans.)
The official results of the last round, with voting percentages is in the bracket below:
Here is a reminder of the rules before we get into the matchups:
- Each player is at the prime of their Spurstenure. So someone like Kawhi Leonard or Dominique Wilkins would represent their peak season as a Spur, not the best of their career.
- Assume traditional 1-on-1 rules for the tournament. Half court, games to 11 straight up (ones and twos), no offensive rebounds, and checking the ball after a score. For this exercise, we’ll be alternating possessions, so no “make it, take it.”
- Single elimination tournament bracket. If a player loses, they are done.
Vote in the polls below for the winners of the Final Four.
Tim Duncan (1) vs. Manu Ginobili (5)
Marilyn: The GOATPUFF vs. the greatest 6th Man of all time. Manu’s creativity will keep him in this one despite there being a decent gap in where these two rank all time, but he’s going up against one of the greatest defenders of all time, who was somehow robbed of never winning DPOY. Prime Tim has the defensive chops, discipline and lateral quickness to keep his teammate in check, along with the size and power down low to overpower him to get his points and advance.
Jacob: It’s hard to find a more fitting matchup in this tournament. Two of the biggest names behind one of the most iconic stretches in NBA history face off for ultimate bragging rights (I’m being dramatic, I know). Manu’s scoring chops make this a respectable matchup, even with a size disadvantage. But Duncan is a stout defender and would physically dominate this game. It has felt like we were destined for a Big Fundamental vs. The Admiral final. I expect at least one half of that to happen.
Jesus: Manu faced tough odds to get here. Both Larry Kenon and Kawhi Leonard could have eliminated him. It’s not crazy to say that Kawhi should have. It’s still believable that one of the most competitive and creative players ever managed to get an edge on two bigger opponents with similar scoring chops, but his run should end here. Ginobili beat Duncan the one time they faced each other at the team level, in the 2002 basketball World Cup, with Timmy at the height of his powers. He was a nightmare to guard for every elite big man he faced. He’d make it suspenseful. But Prime Duncan would prevail. Big Fun was unguardable in the post and had a jumper. He was also mobile for his size, a defensive savant, and too calm to get rattled by Manu magic. It would be the biggest upset in the tournament to see him lose this, even against a great opponent like Ginobili.
J.R.: I don’t relish calling Manu an underdog, but there it is. Big Fun just has to be the heavy favorite against El Contusion. Since this is a matchup made to pull at my heartstrings, this is no time to listen to my heart. I want to take this seriously, and to do that I have to remember how fast Timmy was in his prime. How agile he was and how high he could jump. I have to remember how quick his second and third jumps were, and the way guys bounced off of him. I have to focus on his preternatural ability to stay on his feet instead of falling for pump fakes. Finally, I must remind myself that it’s not the worst thing in the world for your favorite player to lose to the greatest power forward of all time.
David Robinson (2) vs. George Gervin (3)
Marilyn: If the Admiral can overcome The Alien, he can overcome his smaller version in the Iceman. Don’t get me wrong, Gervin is the best scorer in Spurs history and will get his points, but Robinson is also arguably one of the greatest defenders of all time along with the power and scoring prowess to overwhelm Gervin on offense. Unsurprisingly, the Spurs’ two greatest players, both big men, advance.
Jacob: Robinson didn’t have my vote against Victor Wembanyama, but he gets it here. The Iceman is smooth, and will get his buckets against the bigger Robinson, but I don’t think he stands a chance guarding the big man inside. Robinson advances to the finals for a clash of two iconic big men.
Jesus: Few players were as fun to watch and as devastatingly effective on the offensive end as The Iceman. The last thing I want to do is to downplay his greatness on that end. The man has four scoring titles, after all. But David Robinson also led the league in scoring once and dropped 71 points once in a game. Because he was an absolute beast on defense —and the boards— on top of being an elite offensive player, The Admiral’s scoring prowess is often downplayed somewhat, but the man could get buckets. When you combine his dominant play on both ends with some of the best athletic tools the league has ever seen, you get an absolute matchup nightmare. Gervin would score, because that’s what he did better than 99 percent of players who have suited up in the pros. But Robinson should be too much for him to handle.
J.R.: This one is about as simple to me as I can imagine a Final Four matchup being. Bottom line is that both players can score in bunches, but David could also defend like a maniac, while Gervin is serviceable at worst, and slightly above average at best. This one goes to 50, and I don’t think it’s all that close.
