在2025年10月6日星期一于霜冻银行中心举行的马刺季前赛揭幕战中，圣安东尼奥马刺队的维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) (1号) 在队友凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson) (3号) 进球后向其表示祝贺。
马刺队新秀卡特·布莱恩特 (Carter Bryant) 不禁对关子宇 (Guan Ziyu) 的遭遇感同身受。
在周一季前赛揭幕战的第二节初，来自对手广州龙狮队的6英尺7英寸前锋子宇，正沿底线突破，准备完成一记反手上篮。
就在那一刻，维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 用一种极其“不友好”的方式欢迎子宇来到圣安东尼奥——他用一记势大力沉的盖帽，将后者的投篮狠狠地钉在了篮板上，力道之大，让人怀疑篮板是否会就此碎裂。
在霜冻银行中心，布莱恩特目睹了这一切的发生，马刺队也最终以119-88大胜这支来自中国联赛的球队。那一刻，布莱恩特突然感觉与这位远道而来的对手心有戚戚焉。
“我想（文班亚马）在训练中也对我这么干过好几次了，”布莱恩特说道。
自二月份因血栓惊魂而导致第二个NBA赛季戛然而止后，这是文班亚马首次参加正式比赛。在他登场的16分23秒里，他轻松解决了龙狮队。
这位7英尺4英寸的法国人最终贡献了9分、10个篮板、7次助攻和3次盖帽，并与7英尺2英寸的新援卢克·科内特 (Luke Kornet) 打了几次“巨型挡拆”，随后与马刺队其他主力球员一同在下半场休息。
文班亚马也出现了6次失误——其中5次发生在第一节——这显示出他因阔别赛场八个月而略显生疏。
这显然不是抢七大战。但对文班亚马而言，周一的比赛标志着他职业生涯重启的一个重要里程碑。
“我们还没有面临那种关键比赛的紧张氛围，”文班亚马说。“但是，是的，感觉棒极了。感觉我归属于这里，你懂我的意思吗？”
科内特、凯尔登·约翰逊和朱利安·尚帕尼 (Julian Champagnie) 在上半场各得16分，帮助马刺队以79-47的巨大优势结束了上半场。
布莱恩特则从替补席上贡献了15分。
文班亚马和科内特两人合计9投9中，弹无虚发。
“我们每个人都在努力找到自己在拼图中的位置，而我的那块碰巧非常大，”文班亚马说。“需要处理的事情很多，但没有比现在更好的时机了。”
由于数名潜在的常规轮换球员因不同程度的伤病而缺阵，马刺队本场比赛人手短缺。
总而言之，面对这支拥有数名前NBA球员——包括得到22分的弗兰克·卡明斯基 (Frank Kaminsky)、20分的维克托·奥拉迪波 (Victor Oladipo) 以及毕业于圣安东尼奥沃伦高中的乔治·金 (George King)——的广州龙狮队，马刺队在这场季前表演赛揭幕战中得到了他们想要的东西。
接下来，马刺队将迎来更高水平的竞争，他们将于周三前往迈阿密，进行第二场季前赛。
以下是关于文班亚马周一在霜冻银行中心胜利回归的三点观察：
在2025年10月6日星期一于霜冻银行中心举行的马刺季前赛揭幕战中，圣安东尼奥马刺队的维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) (1号) 封盖了广州龙狮队弗兰克·卡明斯基 (Frank Kaminsky) (44号) 的投篮。
- 文班用基本功惊艳全场
即便只是短暂亮相，文班亚马在周一的比赛中也贡献了无数被教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 称为“惊艳时刻”的瞬间。
有前文提到的对子宇的钉板大帽，有第一节的一次补扣，还有他作为世界上最高的挡拆发起者，为科内特送出的数次精准传球，助其轻松得分。
然而，约翰逊最喜欢的瞬间发生在第二节，当时文班亚马放弃了一次三分出手机会，用一个投篮假动作晃过防守者，然后以一记教科书般的双手胸前传球，将球精准送到尚帕尼手中，助其命中一记空位三分。
“他一记精准制导的传球，正中目标，队友也稳稳命中，”约翰逊说。“以他的身高能做出这样的动作，就是一个惊艳时刻。”
约翰逊一直在向文班亚马强调，要依赖基本功，即便他能在篮球场上做到常人无法做到的事情。
这次传球就是一个绝佳的例子。
“也许我放弃了一个我闭着眼睛都能投进的球，”文班亚马说。“但这是为了给我的队友创造一个他睡着了都能投进的机会。”
马刺队将此原则称为“从优秀到卓越”。文班亚马的这次表现堪称典范。
总的来说，他周一仅出手了一次三分球——并且命中了。
“不能因为你能投进某个球，就一定要出手，”文班亚马说。“作为一个团队，我们必须找到最佳选择……我可以在进攻时间还剩21秒或者只剩2秒时选择一次高难度后仰跳投，这没什么区别。但我们有24秒的时间去寻找最佳解决方案。这才是我们努力在做的事情。”
- 马刺寻觅三分火力点
仅凭一场甚至不是对阵NBA球队的比赛，样本量太小，尚不能断言马刺队已经解决了上赛季的三分投射困境。
不过，他们周一的三分球确实投得不错。
面对龙狮队，马刺队三分球38投15中，其中包括尚帕尼的7投4中，以及新援林迪·沃特斯三世 (Lindy Waters III) 的5投3中。
尽管沃特斯（曾效力于俄克拉荷马雷霆、金州勇士和底特律活塞）预计不会成为常规轮换球员，但他为约翰逊的战术库增添了一位额外的三分射手。在2023-24赛季为雷霆队出战的38场比赛中，他的三分命中率高达43.5%。
“我认为我能为球队带来投射引力，”沃特斯说。“我能拉开空间，打球很拼。我会为球队的胜利不惜一切代价。”
- 新秀的弹跳能力引人瞩目
文班亚马在他的首场NBA季前赛中对布莱恩特给予了高度赞扬，尤其是在防守端。
布莱恩特的运动能力至今仍是马刺训练营的热议话题。
“他令人印象非常深刻，尤其是他成功干扰投篮的能力，”文班亚马谈到这位来自亚利桑那大学的14号秀时说。“我知道他跳得很高，但我没想到他能跳这么高。他可以成为一个巨大的场上威慑力。”

Wembanyama returns as Spurs defeat Guangzhou Loong-Lions
San Antonio Spurs Victor Wembanyama (1) congratulates San Antonio Spurs Keldon Johnson (3) after a basket in Spurs preseason opener vs. Guangzhou Loong-Lions on Monday, Oct. 6, 2025 at Frost Bank Center.
Spurs rookie Carter Bryant couldn’t help but feel Guan Ziyu’s pain.
Early in the second quarter of Monday’s preseason opener. Ziyu – a 6-foot-7 forward from the opposing Guangzhou Loong-Lions, drove along the baseline toward a reverse layup.
In a moment of sheer inhospitality, Victor Wembanyama welcomed Ziyu to San Antonio by rejecting his shot off the backboard with such force it is a wonder the glass didn’t crack.
Watching this unfold, as the Spurs rolled to a 119-88 victory over the Chinese League team at the Frost Bank Center, Bryant suddenly felt a kinship with his counterpart from across the ocean.
“I think (Wembanyama) has done that to me a few times in practice,” Bryant said.
Playing in his first competitive game since a blood clot scare halted his second NBA season in February, Wembanyama made short work of the Lions in his 16 minutes and 23 seconds of work.
The 7-4 Frenchman finished with nine points, 10 rebounds, seven assists and three blocks, ran a couple of jumbo-sized pick-and-rolls with 7-2 new addition Luke Kornet, then took the second half off with the rest of the Spurs’ regulars.
Wembanyama also committed six turnovers – including five in the first quarter – a small sign of rust from the eight-month layoff from competitive basketball.
It wasn’t exactly Game 7. But for Wembanyama, Monday’s game marked an important milepost in resuming his career.
“We don’t have the intensity of the stakes, the high stakes games yet,” Wembanyama said. “But yeah, it feels great. It feels like I belong, you know what I mean?”
Kornet, Keldon Johnson and Julian Champagnie each scored 16 points apiece in the first half, which ended with the Spurs on top 79-47.
Bryant added 15 points off the bench.
Wembanyama and Kornet combined to go 9 of 9 from the field.
“We’re each trying to find our piece of the puzzle, and mine happens to be pretty big,” Wembanyama said. “It’s a lot to take care of, but there’s no better time than now.”
The Spurs played the game short-handed with a handful of would-be regulars out nursing various levels of bumps and bruises.
All in all, they got what they needed in an exhibition opener against a Guangzhou club that featured a halndful of ex-NBA players, including Frank Kaminsky (22 points), Victor Oladipo (20 points) and San Antonio Warren alum George King.
Next comes a level up in competition, when the Spurs travel to Miami for their second preseason game on Wednesday.
Here are three takeaways from Wembanyama’s triumphant return to the Frost Bank Center on Monday:
San Antonio Spurs Victor Wembanyama (1) blocks shot of Guangzhou Loong-Lions Frank Kaminsky (44) in a Spurs preseason opener vs. Guangzhou Loong-Lions on Monday, Oct. 6, 2025 at Frost Bank Center.
1) Wemby wows with fundamentals
Even in a short cameo, Wembanyama provided no shortage of what coach Mitch Johnson called “wow moments” Monday.
There was the aforementioned rejection of Ziyu. A follow slam dunk in the first quarter. One of the handful of passes he zipped to Kornet for easy baskets while serving as the world’s tallest pick-and-roll initiator.
Johnson’s favorite play, however, came in the second quarter when Wembanyama turned down a 3-point shot, pumped fake past his defender, then used a textbook two-handed chest pass to deliver the ball to Champagnie for a wide-open 3-pointer of his own.
“He hit the guy with a strike, right on a target and the guy made the shot,” Johnson said. “That, at his size, is a wow moment.”
Johnson has been preaching for Wembanyama to lean on fundamentals, even though he can do things no other human can on the basketball court.
This was a prime example.
“Maybe I turned down a shot I could make with my eyes closed,” Wembanyama said. “But that was to get one of my teammates a shot he could make in his sleep.”
The Spurs call this principle “good to great.” Wembanyama demonstrated it to a T.
All told, he took only one 3-point attempt Monday – and made it.
“It’s not because you can make a shot that you have to take it,” Wembanyama said. As a team we have to find the best option. … I can take a contested fadeaway with 21 seconds on the clock or two seconds. It doesn’t make a difference. We have 24 seconds to find the best solution. That’s what we’re trying to do.”
2) Spurs finding 3-point options
One game not even against NBA competition is too small a sample size to say the Spurs have solved their 3-point shooting woes from last season.
They shot it well Monday, though.
The Spurs hit 15 of 38 from beyond the arc against the Lions, including a 4-of-7 day from Champagnie and a 3-of-5 showing from newcomer Lindy Waters III.
Though Waters, formerly of Oklahoma City, Golden State and Detroit, does not project as an every-night rotation staple, he gives Johnson an extra 3-point shooter in his tool kit. He made 43.5% of his 3-point tries in 38 games with the Thunder in 2023-24.
“I think I bring shooting gravity to the table,” Waters said. “I can space the floor, I play hard. I’ll do whatever it takes for the team to win.”
3) Rookie’s hops turning heads
Wembanyama had high praise for Carter in his first NBA preseason game, particularly at the defensive end.
Carter’s athleticism has been the talk of Spurs’ camp so far.
“He’s very impressive, the shots he manages to contest,” Wembanyama said of the 14th overall pick from Arizona. “I knew he could jump high, but I didn’t know he would be jumping this high. He can be a huge presence.”
