周四夜晚，冰霜银行中心陷入了疯狂。现场的景象宛如赢下了一轮季后赛。球迷们欣喜若狂，球队则聚集在球场中央的麦克风周围。圣安东尼奥的超级巨星维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 拿起麦克风，发表了他的宣言。
“这是我们所有人多年努力的成果，现在我们已经足够成熟，能够赢下比赛了，”文班亚马激动地说道。
马刺队以5胜0负的战绩，迎来了队史最佳开局。在一场107-101战胜迈阿密热火的比赛中，他们凭借着坚固的防守和关键时刻的投篮命中，锁定了这一纪录。
“每次你和那支球队交手，都必须打满48分钟，”马刺队主教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 说道。“每当你打出一波攻势时，那会给你一些支撑，因为你知道他们随时会反扑回来。”
第三节结束时，马刺队曾领先热火队15分之多。但仅仅4分半钟后，迈阿密就反超了1分。这似乎已成为圣安东尼奥本赛季至今的常态——建立巨大领先优势，在下半场的某个时刻挥霍掉，最后又在关键时刻逆转取胜。不过，这场比赛给人的感觉还是有些不同。
热火队开场就打得极具侵略性，但马刺队早已做好了准备。迈阿密的新进攻体系减少了挡拆战术，增加了通过转移球后持球冲击篮筐的比例。热火队采用高强度的身体对抗进行人盯人防守，然后在另一端以闪电般的速度发动反击。要应对这种打法，你需要布置好防线，在外线施加自己的压力，并在禁区保持威慑力。这在很大程度上造就了马刺队的成功。
圣安东尼奥全场送出10次抢断，并利用对手失误得到了19分。当他们能通过抢断获得轻松得分时，防守端就能在另一头保持稳定阵型。斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 在这方面表现尤为出色，他整晚都在干扰热火队的传球。他全场贡献了21分、8次助攻、6个篮板，外加4次抢断。维克托·文班亚马则用他的5次盖帽统治了禁区。
尽管出场时间创赛季新高的40分钟，文班在大部分时间里都表现得活力四射。除了惊人的盖帽数据，他还砍下了27分、18个篮板和6次助攻。每当热火队打出攻势并掌控比赛时，文班亚马总能通过一次关键的防守表现，为马刺队吹响反击号角，重新夺回领先。
这一点在第三节表现得最为明显，当时约翰逊让这位大个子在短暂休息后重返赛场，以利用迈阿密队巴姆·阿德巴约 (Bam Adebayo) 下场休息的机会。阿德巴约整晚都在内外线摧毁马刺队的防守。他砍下31分和10个篮板，同时还命中了4记三分球。当他不在场上时，场上局势有着天壤之别。圣安东尼奥意识到了这一点，并信任文班能够克服疲劳坚持比赛。这一策略收到了成效，马刺队在第三节末打出了一波13-0的攻击波，建立了15分的领先优势。
他们在第三节建立的领先优势几乎瞬间化为乌有。迈阿密在防守端换上了2-3联防，这立刻打乱了马刺队的节奏。而在另一端，安德鲁·威金斯 (Andrew Wiggins) 和西蒙尼·丰泰基奥 (Simone Fontecchio) 成为了一股强大的力量。威金斯得到24分，而丰泰基奥则三分球7投5中，替补贡献18分。
马刺队再次依靠他们的老将终结比赛。
“联防让我们有些措手不及；我们想得太多，有点犹豫不决，”约翰逊说。“哈里森·巴恩斯 (Harrison Barnes) 在稳定军心方面做得非常出色，然后我们开始打出有效进攻。”
就像在上一场战胜多伦多猛龙队的比赛中一样，巴恩斯在关键时刻命中了重要投篮。他命中一记底角三分，帮助圣安东尼奥取得6分领先，随后又在联防的空隙觅得良机，搏得罚球并稳稳命中。
圣安东尼奥用防守锁定了胜局。他们造成了对手的连续失误，其中一次失误直接促成了卡斯尔的一记三分球。接着文班亚马送出了一记关键盖帽，并最终转化为另一端的得分。致命一击来自圣安东尼奥抢下一个进攻篮板后，球给到了文班亚马，后者在突破时被强硬犯规。他在热火队球员面前秀出肌肉，全场观众为之沸腾。尽管比赛的身体消耗巨大，但文班亚马知道他的球队即将带走一场胜利。
“他们以极快的节奏打球，所以比赛几乎没有停歇，而且对抗非常激烈，”约翰逊在谈到文班亚马的表现时说。“他能坚持打完这样的比赛……我认为这值得称赞。”
在未来几周，文班亚马和马刺队预计将迎来一些帮手回归，以减轻他的负担。卢克·科内特 (Luke Kornet)、德阿龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 和杰里米·索汉 (Jeremy Sochan) 即将回归。圣安东尼奥将踏上客场之旅，于周日晚上对阵菲尼克斯太阳队，届时我们将会看到他们的连胜纪录能持续多久。

Spurs beat the Heat for franchise-best 5-0 start
Pandomonium struck the Frost Bank Center on Thursday night. The scene was something out of a playoff series victory. Fans went crazy, and the team crowded around the microphone at center court. San Antonio’s superstar, Victor Wembanyama, grabbed the mic and made a statement.
“This is years of work for all of us, and now we have the maturity to get wins,” Wembanyama exclaimed.
The Spurs are off to the best start in franchise history after going 5-0 to begin the season. They secured the record with stout defense and clutch shot-making down the stretch in a 107-101 victory against the Miami Heat.
“That’s a 48-minute game every time you play that team,” said Spurs head coach Mitch Johnson. “Whenever you go on a run, that gives you a bit of support because you know they are on their way back.”
The Spurs led the Heat by 15 points at the end of the third quarter. Just 4 and a half minutes later, Miami led by 1. It’s been a trend of San Antonio’s season so far – get up big, and blow it at some point in the second half, only to come back and win down the stretch. This game felt a bit different, though.
The Heat came out of the gates aggressively, but the Spurs were ready for it. Miami’s new offensive system cuts down on pick-and-rolls and ramps up on downhill attacks off of swinging passes. The Heat plays physical man-to-man defense, and then comes back on the other end with blitzing speed. To counter that style of play, you need to set your defense, create your own pressure on the perimeter, and have a presence at the rim. That’s largely what led to the Spurs’ success.
San Antonio had 10 steals and scored 19 points off turnovers. When they were able to get easy buckets off steals, the defense could stay set on the other end. Stephon Castle was particularly good at this, getting his hands on Heat passes all night. He finished the game with 4 steals to go along with his 21 points, 8 assists, and 6 rebounds. Victor Wembanyama cleaned things up around the rim with his 5 blocks.
Wemby was electric for most of the night, despite playing a season-high 40 minutes. He had 27 points, 18 rebounds, and 6 assists on top of his monstrous block stats. Every time the Heat would make a run and take control of the game, Wembanyama would be a part of a big defensive play that kick-started the Spurs’ run that regained them the lead.
That was most evident in the third quarter when Johnson put the big man back into the game on short rest, to take advantage of Bam Adebayo heading to the bench for Miami. Adebayo was destroying the Spurs all night, inside and out. He had 31 points and 10 rebounds while knocking down 4 three-pointers. There was a clear difference when he wasn’t on the floor. San Antonio recognized that, and trusted Wemby to play through fatigue. The strategy worked as the Spurs went on a 13-0 run to finish the third quarter, building a 15-point lead.
They lost it almost instantly in the third. Miami switched to a 2-3 zone on defense, which immediately disrupted the Spurs’ rhythm. On the other end, Andrew Wiggins and Simone Fontecchio were a force. Wiggins had 24 points, while Fontecchio hit five of his seven three-pointers on the way to 18 points off the bench.
Once again, the Spurs called on their veterans to close out the game.
“The zone got us on our heels a little bit; we were overthinking and being a bit indecisive,” Johnson said. “Harrison Barnes did a great job of settling (us) in, and then we started making plays.”
Just like he did in their last win over the Toronto Raptors, Barnes hit key shots down the stretch. He nailed a corner three to put San Antonio up six, and then found a soft spot in the zone, getting to the line and converting.
San Antonio sealed the game with its defense. They caused consecutive turnovers, one leading to a Castle three-pointer. Then Wembanyama got a huge block that eventually led to a score on the other end. The dagger came after San Antonio secured an offensive rebound, kicked out to Wembanyama, who then got fouled hard on an offensive drive. He flexed in the Heat’s face as the crowd roared. Despite the physical tax of the game, Wembanyana knew his team was coming away with a victory.
“They play at breakneck speed, so the game didn’t really stop, and it was a physical game,” Johnson said of Wembanyama’s performance. “For him to play through that… I think it’s commendable.”
Wembanyama and the Spurs are slated to get back some help to lighten his load in the coming weeks. Luke Kornet, De’Aaron Fox, and Jeremy Sochan’s return is imminent. San Antonio will see how long this win streak can last as they hit the road for a matchup with the Phoenix Suns on Sunday night.
