菲尼克斯电——太阳队的球探们值得加薪。
在太阳队成功限制住维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama)，并于周日晚间以 130-118 的比分击败马刺后，他本人也表达了类似的看法。
“他们在防守端制定了出色的策略，”文班亚马说道。“他们预判到了我们所有的战术，这让比赛变得非常艰难。”
此役，太阳队终结了马刺队创队史纪录的开季5连胜，也让后者尝到了赛季首败。在这场比赛中，这位全明星中锋在34分钟内14投4中，仅得到9分。而在本场比赛之前，他场均能以56.3%的命中率砍下30.2分。此外，他还出现了6次失误，并且只抢下9个篮板，而此前五场比赛他场均能摘下14.6个篮板。
文班亚马的“宿敌”狄龙·布鲁克斯 (Dillon Brooks) 因伤缺阵，但太阳队阵中仍不乏强悍的防守者，例如身材偏矮但坚韧不拔的6英尺6英寸前锋罗伊斯·奥尼尔 (Royce O’Neale)，以及内线球员马克·威廉姆斯 (Mark Williams)、尼克·理查兹 (Nick Richards) 和奥索·伊戈达罗 (Oso Ighodaro)。
就连身高6英尺3英寸的乔丹·古德温 (Jordan Goodwin) 也参与到了对身高7英尺4英寸的文班亚马的围剿式防守中。
“我必须给予菲尼克斯队高度赞扬，”马刺队教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 表示。“他们将自己的意志强加于比赛，打得既有身体对抗又充满竞争性。他们从开场就通过各种方式奠定了基调，而对我们所有球员施加强悍的身体对抗，绝对是其中的一部分。”

但文班亚马表示，太阳队的身体对抗并不是导致他打出职业生涯（三年）第五次得分个位数比赛的主要因素。这也是他自2024年10月30日输给俄克拉荷马城雷霆队并创下生涯最低6分以来的首次。
他说，最大的问题在于菲尼克斯（目前战绩3胜4负）似乎总能预判到他的每一个动作，并对他施以有效的包夹。
“他们肯定在投篮训练时把我们所有战术都演练了一遍，因为他们看起来准备得非常充分，”文班亚马说。
威廉姆斯表示，对文班亚马“采用多种不同的防守策略”是太阳队新任主教练乔丹·奥特 (Jordan Ott) 防守计划的关键之一。
德文·布克 (Devin Booker) 为菲尼克斯贡献了28分和13次助攻，太阳队在第三节一度领先多达31分。
“这对我们来说是一记警钟，”马刺队的斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 说道，他本场比赛16投10中，高效地拿下了全队最高的26分。
凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson) 替补出场14投8中，贡献19分。但德文·瓦塞尔 (Devin Vassell) 全场14投仅4中，得到赛季新低的4分，而他此前的场均得分接近17分。此外，马刺队新秀迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 在第二节得到12分（8投5中，出战11分钟）后，因小腿受伤提前退赛。
哈珀可能会缺席一段时间，这对仍在等待德阿隆·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 伤愈复出的马刺队来说是个不小的打击。福克斯因腿筋受伤缺席了整个季前赛和常规赛前六场比赛。
“我希望他一切顺利，”文班亚马在谈到哈珀时说。哈珀是本届的榜眼秀，本场比赛前场均能贡献14.4分、4.6个篮板和4.6次助攻。
“我们已经见识到了他的出色表现，”文班亚马补充道。“他打出的水平高得令人难以置信。”
卡斯尔表示，他和其他队友本可以更好地拉开场上空间，为文班亚马创造更好的机会来识别包夹并从中传球。
“我们知道没有球队想一对一防守他，”卡斯尔说。“我们看过比赛录像，我们只需要在这方面做得更好。”
得到9分的朱利安·尚帕尼 (Julian Champagnie) 也表达了与卡斯尔相同的看法。
“我们必须做得更好，更快地跑到自己的位置，让他的处境轻松一些，这样即使对手包夹他，他也能有出球点，”尚帕尼说。“太阳队不是第一支对他进行身体对抗的球队。本赛季到目前为止，每支球队都对他进行了身体对抗。只是在之前的情况下，我们在无球端的应对要好一些，并迫使对手放弃了那种防守策略。今晚，我们慢了一步。”
得益于出色的球探工作、教练部署和场上执行力，太阳队似乎总是能领先一步。
“很多时候，我们在文班亚马低位接球时会对他进行突袭式包夹，我们也会和他进行换防，”太阳队后卫格雷森·阿伦 (Grayson Allen) 说道。他本场比赛得到17分，其中三分球9投5中，表现出色。而在整场比赛中，太阳队的三分命中率高达57.6%（33投19中）。
文班亚马表示，这场失利积极的一面是，当其他球队试图复制太阳队的策略时，马刺队将会有更充分的准备。第一场考验将是周三晚，届时马刺队将在洛杉矶客场挑战湖人队。
“这对我们来说是一个绝佳的机会，可以从这场比赛中学到很多东西，因为我们未来肯定会再次遇到这种情况，”文班亚马说。“我知道我们的下一个对手今晚也看了这场比赛，他们也会从中借鉴一些东西。所以，备战从现在就开始了。”

PHOENIX – The Phoenix Suns scouts deserve a raise.
Victor Wembanyama said as much after the Suns held him in check and defeated the Spurs 130-118 on Sunday night.
“They did a great job having a scheme defensively,” Wembanyama said. “They were expecting everything that we did, so that makes it hard for us.”
In handing the Spurs their first loss of the season after their franchise-record 5-0 start, Phoenix held the All-Star center to just nine points on 4 of 14 from the field in 34 minutes after he entered the game averaging averaging 30.2 points on 56.3% shooting. He also committed six turnovers and had just nine rebounds after averaging 14.6 in the first five outings.
Wembanyama nemesis Dillon Brooks was out with an injury, but the Suns still had plenty of muscle in the form of undersized but tenacious 6-foot-6 forward Royce O’Neale and bigs Mark Williams, Nick Richards and Oso Ighodaro.
Even 6-foot-3 Jordan Goodwin contributed to the swarming defense against the 7-4 Wembanyama.
“I give a ton of credit to Phoenix,” Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said. “They imposed their will on the game. They were physical and competitive. They set a tone from the jump in a variety of ways, and physicality with all of our players was definitely part of that.”

But Wembanyama said the Suns’ physical play wasn’t much of a factor in him posting only the fifth single-digit scoring game of his three-year career and the first since he had a career-low six in a loss to Oklahoma City on Oct. 30, 2024.
The biggest problem, he said, was how Phoenix (3-4) seemed to anticipate his every move before throwing effective double-teams at him.
“They must have walked through at shootaround all of our situations because it seemed like they were ready,” Wembanyama said.
Williams said “throwing a bunch of different looks” at Wembanyama was one of the keys to first-year Suns coach Jordan Ott’s defensive game plan.
Devin Booker had 28 points and 13 assists for Phoenix, which led by as many as 31 points in the third quarter.
“It was a wake-up call for us,” said the Spurs’ Stephon Castle, who had a team-high 26 on an efficient 10 of 16.
Keldon Johnson had 19 points on 8 of 14 off the bench. But Devin Vassell finished with a season-low four points on 4 of 14 after entering the game averaging nearly 17, and the Spurs lost rookie Dylan Harper to a game-ending calf injury in the second quarter after he had 12 points on 5 of 8 in 11 minutes.
Harper could be out for a while, a blow for a team still waiting for De’Aaron Fox to get back on the court after missing the preseason and the first six regular season games with an injured hamstring.
“I hope the best for him,” Wembanyama said of Harper, the No. 2 overall pick, who entered the game averaging 14.4 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4.6 assists.
“We’ve seen great things from him,” Wembanyama added. “It’s actually been hard to believe how good he’s played.”
Castle said he and others could have done a better job spacing the floor to give Wembanyama a better opportunity to recognize the double-teams and then pass out of them.
“We know teams don’t want to guard him one on one,” Castle said. “We’ve watched film on it, so we just got to be better at it.”
Julian Champagnie, who finished with nine points, echoed Castle’s comments.
“We got to just do better, get to our spots faster, make it a little easier for him, so if they do double him, there are outlets for him,” Champagnie said. “That’s not the first team to play physical with him. Every team so far this season has played physical with him. It’s just we’ve been a little better off the ball when that happens, and we’ve forced teams to get out of that. Tonight, we were a step slow.”
Thanks to good scouting, good coaching and good execution, the Suns always seemed a step ahead.
“A lot of times, we were blitzing (Wembanyama’s) catches in the post and we were switching with him too,” said Suns guard Grayson Allen, who finished with 17 points on the strength of 5 of 9 from beyond the arc on a night the Suns shot 57.6% (19 of 33) from distance.
Wembanyama said the silver lining is that the Spurs will be better prepared when other teams try to copy the Suns’ approach. The first test will come when the Spurs face the Lakers on Wednesday night in Los Angeles.
“It’s a great time for us to take away a lot of things from this game, maybe because we’re going to see this again,” Wembanyama said. “I know our next opponents watched this game tonight and they’re going to take some things away from this game as well. So, the preparation starts now.”
