各支球队都已经意识到，限制马刺的最佳策略就是派上数波防守者轮番冲击维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama)，在他试图穿越防守丛林冲击篮筐时将他消耗殆尽。马刺队至今未能找到破解这一策略的答案，这也导致文班亚马在第四节初就领到了个人第五次犯规，并因此错失了该节的大部分比赛时间。尽管他在第四节中段重返赛场，但最终还是犯满离场，失去了在关键时刻帮助球队抵挡卢卡·东契奇 (Luka Doncic) 和势头正盛的湖人队的机会。
马刺队中一些久疏战阵的球员也做出了不错的贡献——杰里米·索汉 (Jeremy Sochan) 在伤愈复出的首场比赛中，对东契奇的防守非常稳固，并在进攻端打出关键表现，在有限的上场时间内得到16分。林迪·沃特斯三世 (Lindy Waters III) 则展示了马刺今夏引进他的原因，他在比赛末段命中关键一球，为马刺保留了悬念。当文班亚马在比赛还剩1分39秒时领到第六次犯规，马刺看起来已大势已去：湖人手握领先，而马刺失去了他们最好的球员——在湖人窒息般的防守下，他仅得到19分。当哈里森·巴恩斯 (Harrison Barnes) 在接下来的回合中也犯满离场时，马刺今晚想要侥幸取胜的希望似乎已被彻底埋葬。
然而，得益于马库斯·斯马特 (Marcus Smart) 在发界外球时的一次致命失误，马刺竟意外地获得了重回比赛的最后机会。他们在第一次发球进攻中没能获得一次好的出手机会，但他们仍有0.4秒来完成最后一击。战术是给朱利安·尚帕尼 (Julian Champagnie) 的一个空中接力，他被杰克·拉拉维亚 (Jake LaRavia) 犯规。如果尚帕尼两罚全中，比赛就将进入加时。可惜第一罚偏长，而第二罚他选择故意罚失，马刺也未能抢下篮板。最终马刺以116-118落败，在三名球员犯满离场、文班亚马大部分时间被湖人孤注一掷的防守策略压制的情况下，与胜利失之交臂。这对马刺是一次考验，而他们这次失败了，但人们从失败中学到的东西远比从成功中多。马刺目前在西部联盟排名第三，他们没有时间舔舐伤口，因为他们将在周五晚上回到圣安东尼奥，在赛季首场NBA杯赛中迎战火箭队。
赛场观察
- 这是哈里森·巴恩斯的第1000场联赛比赛，作为球队的元老，他所提供的领导力和经验是球队的宝贵财富，其价值远超他在场上的表现。
- 米歇尔·比德尔 (Michelle Beadle) 是 FanDuel 转播团队一个很棒的补充。我甚至都没意识到自己想念她，直到在电视上看到她。
- 我对这位叫卢卡的家伙印象还挺深刻。我听说湖人是在一次甩卖大处理中得到他的。据我所见，他们这笔买卖做得相当不错。
- DC漫画的二线角色塑料人 (Plastic Man) 在比赛早期被雅各布·托比 (Jacob Tobey) 提及。考虑到文班亚马在场上看起来那不可思议的臂展，以及他似乎能从任何地方触及任何东西的样子，这个比喻还真不赖。
- 朱利安·尚帕尼在一次进攻回合中，因一次三分投篮遭遇恶意犯规，最终一人独得六分。
- 德安德烈·艾顿 (DeAndre Ayton) 已经得到了太多次证明自己的机会，我都数不清了。这一次他也许终于能抓住了。他看起来比职业生涯早期专注得多。而且他的替补是贾克森·海斯 (Jaxson Hayes)，后者实力不济，所以艾顿应该感觉相当良好。
- 凯利·奥利尼克 (Kelly Olynyk) 和杰里米·索汉在第一节中段替补登场。这两位仁兄是？
- 林迪·沃特斯三世命中了他回归后的第一球，空心入网。看来他的眼睛没问题。
- 东契奇有一种神奇的掌控力，能够操纵其他球员落入他设下的圈套，迫使对手在他扭曲身体完成高难度出手时与他发生接触，并且十有八九都能博得罚球。马刺在第一节结束后以29-26领先，但感觉本可以领先更多，要不是“东契奇效应”——他一人独得13分，占了湖人全队得分的一半。但他的武器库远不止于此。他不是一个好的单防球员，但他能完成抢断，因为他能预判球的去向，而且手很快。
- 湖人在给维克托·文班亚马制造犯规方面做得很好，而文班亚马将必须对此做出调整，学会对防守有所取舍，而不是每一次都全力以赴。
- 是我的错觉吗，还是马刺因为抢不到防守篮板而葬送了太多次出色的防守回合？他们常常能迫使对手投出高难度投篮，然后却送出进攻篮板，导致对方获得空位出手机会并轻松得分。这是米奇 (Mitch) 需要球队下功夫解决的问题。湖人队本场比赛抢下的11个进攻篮板并由此转化得到的27分，正是今晚比赛的胜负手。
- 奥利尼克在他的马刺首秀中看起来有些迷失。他出现了几次防守失位，但随着比赛的进行，他的表现有所改善。
- 斯蒂芬·卡斯尔现在罚球很准，这修正了他去年比赛中为数不多的几个缺陷之一。
- 洛杉矶主教练JJ·雷迪克 (JJ Redick) 试图在第一节半场结束前0.5秒时，挑战一次范德比尔特 (Vanderbilt) 非常明显的阻挡犯规。他提出请求时慢了一拍，但他真的很想在上半场结束前让文班亚马领到第四次犯规。半场结束时，湖人以60-59领先。下半场开始后，JJ·雷迪克成功地进行了一次更明智的挑战，将一次吹罚在杰克·拉拉维亚身上的犯规改判为无犯规，从而夺回了球权。但尚帕尼笑到了最后，他立刻将球抢断回来并上篮得分。
- 马刺在第三节成功打乱了比赛节奏并频频站上罚球线，而卢卡在第三节初领到第四次犯规后，在防守端有所顾忌。马刺终于在第三节还剩2分钟时取得了本场首次两位数的领先优势。凭借第三节单节37分的表现，马刺以96-88领先进入第四节。
- 第四节，随着文班亚马早早领到第五次犯规被迫下场，马刺承受了巨大的压力。在文班亚马于该节中段回归之前，依靠杰里米·索汉和林迪·沃特斯三世的一些关键发挥，球队其他人勉强保住了领先优势——这两位球员都是在今晚的比赛中刚刚伤愈复出。
马刺队将于周五晚上再次披挂上阵，在NBA阿联酋航空杯的首场比赛中迎战休斯顿火箭队，届时霜降银行中心也将揭晓为这些比赛特别设计的球场地板。希望今年的设计不会像去年那样辣眼睛，但也许场上精彩的比赛能够盖过球场设计的花哨浮夸。季中锦标赛本身意义不算特别重大，但在这项赛事中取得好成绩，对于这支突然变得极具竞争力的马刺队来说，将是建立信心的巨大催化剂。马刺队被分在了全联盟竞争最激烈的小组之一，因此如果他们能够从小组赛中出线，就将是一项巨大的成就。

San Antonio at Los Angeles, Final Score: Spurs foul troubles help the Lakers to a 118-116 win
Teams have learned that the best chance of stopping the Spurs is to send waves of defenders at Victor Wembanyama and wear him out as he tries to fight through a forest of defenders to get to the basket. The Spurs haven’t found the answer for that strategy, which resulted in a fifth foul on Victor early in the fourth quarter which caused him to miss most of the quarter. He came back halfway through the quarter, but he fouled out late, missing a chance to help hold off Luka Doncic and the surging Lakers.
The Spurs had some good contributions from players who hadn’t played in a while—Jeremy Sochan, in his first game returning from injury, played solid defense on Luka and made key plays on offense, scoring 16 points in limited minutes. Lindy Waters III showed why the Spurs acquired him this summer, hit a key bucket to keep the Spurs alive late. When Victor picked up his sixth foul with 1:39 left and the Spurs looked cooked: the Lakers had the lead and the Spur lost their best player, held to just 19 points by the stingy Lakers. When Harrison Barnes fouled out on the following possession, it looked like it was time to throw dirt on the Spurs chances to eke out a win tonight.
Somehow, the Spurs were gifted a last chance to get back into the game by a critical mistake inbounding the ball from Marcus Smart. They could not get a clean look on the first inbounds play, but they had .4 seconds left to make a play. The call was an alley oop to Julian Champagnie who got fouled by Jake LaRavia. If he made both free throws, the game was going to overtime. The first attempt went long, and the Spurs couldn’t take in the second, which was intentionally missed. Spurs lost 118-116, so close to winning a game where they had three players foul out and with Victor being mostly neutralized by the Lakers’ sell out defensive philosophy. This was a test for the Spurs, and they failed this time, but you lose more from failure than from success. The Spurs are now third in the Western Conference, and don’t have any time to lick their wounds, because they return to San Antonio to face the Rockets on Friday night in their first NBA Cup game of the season.
Observations
- It’s Harrison Barnes’ 1,000th game in the league, and as the elder statesman of the team, he’s providing a lot of leadership and knowledge that’s a valuable asset for the team that goes beyond his play on the court.
- Michelle Beadle was a nice addition to the telecast on FanDuel. I didn’t even know that I missed her until I saw her on my TV.
- I’m kind of impressed by this Luka fellow. I hear the Lakers got him in a fire sale. I think they got a pretty good deal, from what I can see.
- DC Comics second stringer Plastic Man got name checked by Jacob Tobey early in the game. It’s not a bad metaphor for how insanely long he looks when he’s playing, and how it seems he can reach anything from anywhere.
- Julian Champagnie earned six points on one possession due to a flagrant foul on a three point shot.
- DeAndre Ayton has had so many second chances that I’ve lost count. He might finally make it this time. He seems a lot more focused than he looked earlier in his career. And his backup is Jaxson Hayes, who is not good, so he should be feeling pretty good.
- Kelly Olynyk and Jeremy Sochan entered the game halfway through the first quarter. Who are those guys?
- Lindy Waters III hit his first shot, nothing but net. Looks like his eye is OK.
- Doncic has a magical control of how he can manipulate other players into his web of deceit, forcing them to touch him as he contorts his body to get off crazy shots, and more often that not, gets awarded with free throws. The Spurs led 29-26 after the first quarter, but it felt like it could have been a lot more, except for the Luka effect, scoring half of the Lakers’ points with 13. But he has a lot more in his game than just that. He’s not a good one on one defender, but he can get steals because he can anticipate where the ball is going to be, and he has great hands.
- The Lakers did a good job drawing fouls on Victor Wembanyama, and he’s going to have to adjust to that by not going for every play.
- Is it me, or do the Spurs ruin too many good defensive sets by not getting the defensive rebound? They end up forcing a bad shot, and then give up an offensive rebound which leads to a wide open shot and easy score. This is something that Mitch needs the team to work on. The Lakers 11 offensive rebounds that led to 27 points were the difference in the game tonight.
- Olynyk looked a little lost in his first Spurs action. He had several defensive lapses, but he improved as the game went on.
- Stephon Castle is hitting his free throws now, which corrects one of the few flaws in his game last year.
- L.A. Coach JJ Redick tried to challenge a pretty obvious blocking foul from Vanderbilt with 0.5 seconds left in the first half. He was a tick too late to get request it, but he really wanted to get a fourth foul called on Victor before the half. The Lakers led 60-59 at the half. JJ got his challenge right after halftime on a much better considered call, reversing a foul on Jake Laravia to a no call to recover the ball. Champagnie got the last laugh by immediately stealing the ball back and scoring a bucket.
- The Spurs junked up the game in the third quarter and got to the line, and Luka was reluctant to play defense after picking up his fourth foul early in the quarter, and they finally got their first double digit lead with 2 minutes left in the third. The Spurs led 96-88 as the fourth quarter began, scoring 37 in the third.
- The fourth quarter put the Spurs under pressure as Victor picked up his fifth foul early and had to sit. The rest of the team were able to hold onto the lead, barely, until Victor’s return halfway through the quarter, thanks to some key plays from Jeremy Sochan and Lindy Waters III, who just returned from injury for tonight’s game.
The Spurs will be back in action on Friday night, taking on the Houston Rockets in their first game in the NBA Emirates Cup, and revealing the special court surface that will be used for those games in the Frost Bank Center. Hopefully, the designs won’t be as hard on the eyes as they were last year, but maybe the beautiful game on the court will overshadow the gaudiness of the court. The in-season tournament doesn’t mean that much, except that doing well in that competition will be a big confidence builder for the suddenly competitive Spurs. The Spurs are in one of the toughest groups in the entire league, so just getting past the group stage will be a huge achievement if they can advance past the group stage.
