圣安东尼奥马刺队在揭幕战中以一场统治级的胜利击败达拉斯独行侠队，让整个篮球界都为之侧目。一夜之间，维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 和他的球队成为了篮球迷们不容错过的焦点。周五晚上，我们将看到这位“外星人”对决面貌一新的蔡恩·威廉姆森 (Zion Williamson)，这无疑将是一场极具观赏性的西部对决。
鹈鹕队刚刚以122-128不敌孟菲斯灰熊队，他们在比赛中挥霍了15分的领先优势。在此过程中，他们的首发中锋也因伤倒下，伊夫·米西 (Yves Missi) 因脚踝扭伤，周五的比赛出战成疑。鹈鹕队虽然在身材上有所欠缺，但他们在侧翼的运动能力和防守足以弥补这一点。赫伯特·琼斯 (Herb Jones) 和特雷·墨菲三世 (Trey Murphy III) 与威廉姆森一道，组成了联盟中最激动人心的侧翼组合之一。
马刺队的侧翼同样不容小觑。在周三晚上的比赛中，圣安东尼奥队用防守引领了比赛。在文班亚马坐镇禁区的情况下，马刺队的外线防守者们得以大胆地在传球路线上冒险抢断，从而在转换进攻中轻松得分。与独行侠队选择让一名前锋出任控球后卫不同，鹈鹕队将派出传统的持球后卫——乔丹·普尔 (Jordan Poole)、何塞·阿尔瓦拉多 (Jose Alverado) 和杰里迈亚·菲尔斯 (Jeremiah Fears)。马刺队的后卫和侧翼球员们在对阵鹈鹕时将再次面临考验。
新奥尔良是一支顽强的球队，他们渴望在主场观众面前拿下赛季首胜，斗志昂扬。如果马刺队想在这次客场之旅中取得2胜0负的开局，他们就必须拿出周三晚上的那种比赛强度。

马刺队伤病名单 ：德阿龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) – 缺阵 (腿筋), 凯利·奥利尼克 (Kelly Olynyk) – 缺阵 (脚后跟), 杰里米·索汉 (Jeremy Sochan) – 缺阵 (手腕), 林迪·沃特斯 (Lindy Waters) – 缺阵 (眼部)
鹈鹕队伤病名单： 凯文·卢尼 (Kevon Looney) – 缺阵 (膝盖), 卡洛·马特科维奇 (Karlo Matkovic) – 出战成疑 (下背部), 伊夫·米西 (Yves Missi) – 出战成疑 (脚踝), 德章泰·穆雷 (Dejounte Murray) – 缺阵 (跟腱), 杰登·斯普林格 (Jaden Springer) – 缺阵 (未随队)
看点聚焦：
进攻篮板
周三对阵灰熊队时，鹈鹕队抢下了17个进攻篮板。他们的进攻篮板来自阵容中的多位球员，但威廉姆森以5个领衔全队。新奥尔良的侧翼球员运动能力出色，身体强壮。如果圣安东尼奥不能作为一个团队来保护篮板，他们将在“大快活城”度过一个漫长的夜晚。在对阵独行侠的比赛中，马刺队在卡位和拼抢防守篮板方面做得很好。让文班亚马有意识地留在篮筐附近，不仅是为了护筐，也是为了拼抢篮板，这一点至关重要。再次强调，拿出周三那样的比赛强度将是取胜的关键。
德文·瓦塞尔的得分能力
除了文班亚马，马刺队为德文·瓦塞尔 (Devin Vassell) 设计的进攻战术可能是最多的。他们有意识地让他通过掩护和手递手配合，为他在中距离和三分线外创造轻松的跳投机会。他表现不错，14投6中得到13分。随着各支球队很快意识到他们需要多人包夹文班亚马，像瓦塞尔这样的球员就会迎来反制和进攻空间。鉴于新奥尔良在对位文班时有明显的身高劣势，他们需要拿出更具创造性的防守策略来限制他。理论上，这应该会为瓦塞尔作为一名得分手创造出更多机会。他将有机会在揭幕战稳健表现的基础上更进一步。
罚球
如果非要对周三晚上那场33分的大胜吹毛求疵，那只能说这本该是一场42分的胜利。马刺队的罚球命中率仅为60.7%，在罚球线上丢掉了9分。斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 的表现尤其挣扎，罚球10投仅5中。投射能力，无论是三分还是罚球，都是马刺队本赛季成败的关键。随着赛季的深入，他们需要提升罚球线上的表现。所有迹象都表明周三的表现只是一个偶然，但这仍然是一个值得关注的问题。

Game Preview: San Antonio Spurs at New Orleans Pelicans
The San Antonio Spurs put the basketball world on notice in a dominant opening night victory over the Dallas Mavericks. All of a sudden, Victor Wembanyama and the team have become appointment viewing for hoops fans. Friday night, we’ll see the Alien face off against a refreshed-looking Zion Williamson in what should be an entertaining Western Conference matchup.
The Pelicans are coming off a 122-128 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies in which they blew a 15-point lead. New Orleans lost their starting center in the process, as Yves Missi is questionable for Friday’s game with a sprained ankle. What the Pels lack in size, they make up for in athleticism and defense on the wing. Herb Jones and Trey Murphy III join Williamson to make one of the most exciting wing rooms in the league.
The Spurs wings are no slouches either. San Antonio led the way with defense on Wednesday night. With Wembanyama patrolling the paint, the Spurs’ perimeter defenders were able to take chances on steals in the passing lanes, leading to easy buckets in transition. The Pelicans will actually play traditional, ball-handling guards in Jordan Poole, Jose Alverado, and Jeremiah Fears, unlike the Mavs, who elected to play a forward at point guard. The Spurs guards and wings will once again be put to the test against the Pelicans.
New Orleans is a tough squad that will be motivated to secure its first win of the season in front of the home crowd. The Spurs will need to match their intensity from Wednesday night if they want to go 2-0 on the road trip.
San Antonio Spurs (1-0) vs. New Orleans Pelicans (o-1)
October 24th, 2025 | 7 PM CT
Watch: KENS5 | Listen: WOAI (1200 AM)
Spurs Injuries: De’Aaron Fox – Out (hamstring), Kelly Olynyk – Out (heel), Jeremy Sochan – Out (wrist), Lindy Waters – Out (eye)
Pelicans Injuries: Kevon Looney – Out (knee), Karlo Matkovic – Questionable (low back), Yves Missi – Questionable (ankle), Dejounte Murray – Out (achilles), Jaden Springer – Out (not with team)
What to watch for:
The offensive glass
The Pelicans had 17 offensive rebounds against the Grizzlies on Wednesday. They got offensive boards from all over their roster, but Williamson led the way with 5. New Orleans is athletic and strong on the wings. If San Antonio doesn’t rebound as a team, they could be in for a long night in the Big Easy. The Spurs did a good job of boxing out and crashing the defensive glass against the Mavericks. Having Wembanyama intentionally playing around the basket to not only protect shots but also grab boards is key. Again, matching the intensity from Wednesday will be key.
Devin Vassell’s scoring
Outside of Wembanyama, the Spurs may have run the most offensive plays for Vassell. They were intentional about getting him coming off screens and handoffs, looking to get easy jumpers in the mid-range and from three. He played well, scoring 13 points on 6-14 shooting. As teams quickly realize they need to send multiple bodies at Wembanyama, there will be counters and openings for players like Vassell. With New Orleans’ clear size disadvantage against Wemby, they’ll need to be creative with their coverages in hopes of containing him. In theory, that should open up opportunities for Vassell as a scorer. He’ll have a chance to build on his solid opening night performance.
Free throws
If you are looking to nitpick Wednesday night’s 33-point victory, it would be that it probably should have been a 42-point victory. The Spurs shot 60.7% from the free-throw line, leaving 9 points at the stripe. Stephon Castle particularly struggled, shooting 5-10 from the line. Shooting is the swing skill for the Spurs this season, whether that’s from three or the stripe. They need to be better at the line as the season goes along. All signs point to Wednesday being an anomaly, but it’s something to keep an eye on nonetheless.
