圣安东尼奥电——周四,维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 帮助圣安东尼奥马刺队达成了一项队史里程碑。他砍下全队最高的26分,并抢下18个篮板、送出6次助攻和5记盖帽,带领马刺以107-101战胜迈阿密热火,豪取队史首次开局5胜0负。

马刺队在他们征战NBA的第50个赛季,迎来了队史最火热的开局。

“感觉太棒了,”文班亚马说。“这不是偶然的。我们并非凭空拿到这五场胜利。这是我们努力拼搏的结果。我们本赛季开局势头强劲,我们需要尽可能地将连胜保持下去。”

本场比赛在霜岸中心(Frost Bank Center)进行,马刺面对的是一支状态火热的热火队,他们此役前的场均得分高达131.5分,位列联盟第一。然而,马刺将客队的得分限制在了赛季新低,其中第三节仅让对手得到14分。但在比赛的最后阶段,马刺眼睁睁看着末节开始时建立的15分领先优势,在迈阿密由巴姆·阿德巴约 (Bam Adebayo) 掀起的一波17-1的攻势中化为1分的落后。阿德巴约在第四节独得12分,全场砍下赛季新高的31分。

尽管如此,文班亚马和马刺队还是坚持了下来。这位法国球星在下半场送出了全部5次盖帽,其中有3次出现在第四节。在比赛还剩14.9秒、球队领先5分时,文班亚马倒地后向全场18,702名座无虚席的观众发出了胜利的呐喊,并秀起了肌肉。

“那一瞬间,我感觉这就像是一个感叹号,宣告我们有99%的把握赢下比赛,”文班亚马说。“我只是在汲取现场的能量。这种感觉太棒了,因为这是一场艰难的比赛,能获得这种释怀并与现场观众一同经历,感觉真的很好。我当时想到了5胜0负的战绩,想到了马刺队的历史,那一刻,我为自己是一名马刺球员而感到骄傲。”

根据ESPN数据研究,本场对阵热火是文班亚马职业生涯第三次拿到至少25分、15篮板、5助攻和5盖帽的数据,这一数字在马刺队史中排名第三,仅次于名人堂成员大卫·罗宾逊 (David Robinson)(八次)和蒂姆·邓肯 (Tim Duncan)(六次)。赛季至今,文班亚马场均贡献30.2分、14.6个篮板和4.8次盖帽。自1973-74赛季盖帽成为官方统计数据以来,他是NBA历史上第二位在赛季前五场比赛中场均至少得到30分、14个篮板和4次盖帽的球员,上一位是1975年的鲍勃·麦卡杜 (Bob McAdoo)。

在这场对马刺队而言又一场比分胶着的比赛中,表现出色的并非只有文班亚马一人。上赛季的NBA年度最佳新秀、二年级后卫斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 贡献了21分、6个篮板、8次助攻和4次抢断,德文·瓦塞尔 (Devin Vassell) 则得到17分、9个篮板,并在最后时刻命中了几个关键的三分球。

“说实话,我厌倦了输球,”瓦塞尔说,这位2020年的马刺首轮秀至今还未体验过NBA季后赛的滋味。“我在这里待了很长时间,可以说这是一段漫长的旅程。我见过很多次这样的场面。对手打出一波攻势,然后也许教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 会在录像分析时指出我没有扑倒在地争球,或者你没有去争抢那个地板球,你没有做好那些小事。正是这些小事才能帮助你赢下这些比赛,而这正是我们所需要的。微小的细节、细枝末节的东西帮助我们赢得了比赛,今晚就是这样。”

除了揭幕战以33分的分差痛击达拉斯独行侠外,圣安东尼奥本赛季大部分比赛都在最后时刻艰难地保住领先优势。但马刺已经找到了在关键时刻持续比对手执行力更胜一筹的方法。

“当你对阵迈阿密时,无论如何都会是一场硬仗,”斯蒂芬·卡斯尔说。“所以,我认为我们宁愿以这种方式,通过拼搏来找到赢球的方法。我们在下半场曾取得巨大领先,但他们追了上来并反超了比分。所以,在这样的比赛里你永远不能放弃。我很高兴我们能展现出我们的拼劲和韧性。”

约翰逊教练表示,他认同球队的表现,但特别点名表扬了文班亚马在下半场的防守影响力。在这场圣安东尼奥迄今为止身体对抗最激烈的比赛中,这位21岁的年轻人出场了近40分钟。马刺的前四个对手——达拉斯、新奥尔良、布鲁克林和多伦多——总战绩仅为3胜16负。因此,战绩为3胜2负的迈阿密给圣安东尼奥带来了本赛季最严峻的挑战。

与此同时,文班亚马似乎轻松地应对了热火队的身体对抗和他们非传统、闪电般的比赛风格。赛后,文班亚马与几名队友一起接受了赛后采访,他们最后齐声高喊“Go Spurs go”,口号声响彻了整个球馆。

“如果你回去看录像,看看他大概的跑动距离,他参与了大量的挡拆,并顺下攻筐,”约翰逊说。“他们比赛的节奏快得惊人。所以比赛几乎没有停歇,而且攻防两端都充满了身体对抗。因此,对他来说,能坚持打完比赛,我觉得他在第四节有一次累了,我们把他换下场。他回来后,我认为他的表现值得称赞。他能以如此高水平的稳定性和效率打上40分钟,令人印象非常深刻。”

SAN ANTONIO – Victor Wembanyama helped San Antonio reach a franchise milestone Thursday, dropping a team-high 26 points with 18 rebounds, 6 assists and 5 blocks as the Spurs rolled to the first 5-0 start in the club’s history by way of a 107-101 win over the Miami Heat.

San Antonio saved its hottest start for its 50th season in the NBA.

“It feels great,” Wembanyama said. “It’s not random. We didn’t get those five wins randomly. We worked for it. We started this season strong, and we need to keep that streak going for as long as possible.”

Facing a red-hot Heat squad that entered the game at Frost Bank Center averaging a league-high 131.5 points, San Antonio limited the visitors to a season low in scoring, including a 14-point third quarter. Down the stretch, the Spurs watched a 15-point lead to start the final quarter disintegrate into a one-point deficit as Miami embarked on a 17-1 run sparked by Bam Adebayo, who poured in 12 of his season-high 31 points in the period.

Still, Wembanyama and the Spurs persevered, with the Frenchman logging all five of his blocks in the second half, including three in the fourth quarter. Wembanyama let out a triumphant yell to the sellout crowd of 18,702 immediately after falling to the court and flexing with 14.9 seconds left and his team ahead by five.

“That instant, I’m feeling like it’s like the exclamation point when we have [a] 99% chance of winning the game,” Wembanyama said. “It’s just me feeding off that energy. It feels great because it was a hard game and it feels good to have this relief and to live that with these people. I was thinking about the 5-0 record, the Spurs’ history and I was just proud of being a Spur at that moment.”

The performance against the Heat marked Wembanyama’s third career game with at least 25 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 blocks, good for third in Spurs history behind Hall of Famers David Robinson (eight) and Tim Duncan (six), according to ESPN Research. Averaging 30.2 points, 14.6 rebounds and 4.8 blocks, Wembanyama is the second player in NBA history behind Bob McAdoo (1975) to average at least 30 points, 14 rebounds and 4 blocks through the first five games of a season since 1973-74, when blocks became an official statistic.

Wenbanyama wasn’t the only Spur to excel in another tight game for San Antonio. Coming off his NBA Rookie of the Year season, second-year guard Stephon Castle chipped in 21 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists and 4 steals, and Devin Vassell had 17 points, nine rebounds and a couple of timely 3-pointers late.

“Honestly, tired of losing,” said Vassell, a 2020 Spurs first-round pick, who hasn’t yet experienced NBA postseason basketball. “I’ve been here for a long time and it’s been a journey, I can say that. I’ve seen this happen many times. That team going on runs and maybe [coach] Mitch [Johnson] puts it on film that I didn’t dive on the floor. Maybe you don’t go for that loose ball. You don’t do the little stuff. Those little things help you win these games, and that’s what we need. The little details, the little minute things help us win games, and that’s what happened tonight.”

Aside from the 33-point drubbing of the Dallas Mavericks in the opener, San Antonio has found itself scrapping to preserve leads late in most of its games this season. But the Spurs have figured out ways to consistently outexecute opponents down the stretch.

“When we play against Miami, it’s going to be a tough game no matter what,” Castle said. “So, I thought we wouldn’t want it any other way than for us to have to grind out and figure out how to win games. We had a lead in the second half, a big lead, and they came back and took the lead. So, you can never give up in games like this. I’m just happy to be able to show our grit and toughness.”

Johnson said he shared the sentiment about his team but singled out Wembanyama for his impact defensively in the second half. The 21-year-old played nearly 40 minutes in San Antonio’s most physical game to date. The Spurs’ first four opponents – Dallas, New Orleans, Brooklyn and Toronto – have a combined record of 3-16. So, Miami (3-2) presented San Antonio its most formidable challenge of the season.

Wembanyama, meanwhile, handled the Heat’s physicality and unconventional, lightning-fast style of play seemingly with ease. After the game, Wembanyama gathered with several teammates for his postgame interview, and the group ended it with a “go Spurs go” chant that rumbled throughout the building.

“If you go back and look at probably the distance he covered, he was setting a ton of pick-and-rolls and rolling to the basket,” Johnson said. “The pace they play at is at breakneck speed. So, the game really didn’t stop, and it was a physical game on both ends. So, for him to play through that, I thought there was one time in the fourth he got tired. We took him out. He came back, and I think it’s commendable. For him to [play] 40 minutes at that level of consistency and efficiency was very impressive.”
