在遭遇赛季首败后，马刺队亟待调整。菲尼克斯太阳队制定了一套战术，不仅暴露了圣安东尼奥投射能力不足的短板，同时也限制了文班的进攻，迫使马刺必须做出改变。
而在周三晚上，马刺确实做到了这一点——至少在比赛开局阶段是如此。从跳球开始，洛杉矶球队就采用了与太阳队类似的策略，他们用马库斯·斯马特主防文班，一旦这位法国天才触球，杰克·拉拉维亚便立刻上前包夹。但这一次，马刺有备而来。文班立刻将球传给了底角的巴恩斯，后者因对手向禁区收缩而获得了巨大的空位机会。主教练米奇·约翰逊特意在文班和卡斯尔身边排出了尚帕尼、巴恩斯和瓦塞尔三名射手，并在每一次进攻回合中都让其中一人牢牢钉在底角。这样的布置收到了成效，马刺队在首节结束时就命中了四记底角三分，相比于上一场对阵菲尼克斯时全场仅命中10记三分球的表现，这是一个显著的提升。
在防守端，文班一如既往地充满威胁，让每一位湖人球员在考虑冲击内线时都得三思。然而，洛杉矶球队也刻意地向他发起冲击，试图让他陷入犯规麻烦。这一策略大体上是成功的，文班在第二节过半时就领到个人第三次犯规，被迫下场休息。幸运的是，凯利·奥利尼克 (Kelly Olynyk) 和杰里米·索汉 (Jeremy Sochan) 都伤愈复出，为马刺队提供了急需的前场支援。只要斯蒂芬·卡斯尔不在场，索汉便会立刻承担起防守卢卡的任务，但即便面对索汉强硬的身体对抗，这位斯洛文尼亚神童依然能够命中高难度投篮。由于文班的休息时间比平时更长，洛杉矶球队也获得了更多轻松攻击篮筐的机会，并最终以60-59的领先优势进入中场休息。

下半场，双方展开了对攻大战。洛杉矶球队继续在任何机会下都对文班进行包夹，导致他很难到达自己的进攻位置。为了应对，文班专注于制造身体接触，并成功在罚球线上获得了一些分数，而湖人队则坚持从外线得分。然而，文班刚一下场，卢卡就能轻松地为他的内线队友送出空中接力，迫使约翰逊教练不得不在他计划之外的时间点将自己的明星中锋重新派上场。
末节的比赛在各个层面都陷入了混乱。在马刺以96-88领先时，随着文班和卢卡双双下场休息，比赛变成了一场艰苦的鏖战。两队都无法挽救局面，甚至难以组织起两次连续的有效进攻。当卢卡重新登场后，场上局势立刻改变。在落后九分的情况下，湖人队的防守强度提升到了极致，迫使卡斯尔出现多次失误，主队瞬间抹平了马刺的领先优势。
在一次有机会帮助球队夺回领先的进攻中，文班在突破时径直撞向八村垒，导致自己六犯离场。马刺的命运似乎在那一刻已经注定，湖人队通过罚球将分差扩大到两个进攻回合。然而，马库斯·斯马特在发边线球时头脑发热，在自己即将出界前将球横传给了八村垒，这给了马刺最后一次机会，此时他们仅落后两分。尚帕尼在一次可能扳平比分上篮中几乎得手，但被对手犯规，获得了两次罚球机会。在罚失第一球后，他第二罚故意砸向篮筐，凯尔登·约翰逊奇迹般地触到了球，但他的补篮最终还是涮筐而出。
这是一场离奇的失利，马刺在大部分时间里都处于领先，尽管他们或许配不上这场胜利。整场比赛，马刺队都显得杂乱无章，能在最后几秒还有机会追平比分简直是个奇迹。虽然两场比赛的样本量很小，但联盟现在似乎已经找到了如何减缓圣安东尼奥和文班节奏的战术蓝图，而那些曾认为福克斯可以被轻易取代的人，现在肯定要改变想法了。
比赛观察
- 本场比赛中文班和马刺队在进攻端的一些挣扎让我想起了雄鹿队在扬尼斯（字母哥）生涯早期所经历的困境。当时，各支球队常常通过“筑墙战术”来遏制年轻版“希腊怪物”的突破，而湖人队在周三晚上也采用了同样的策略。第三节的一个回合完美地体现了这一点，当时文班在肘区单打，并且是马刺队在该侧半场的唯一球员。洛杉矶球队对他进行单防，而其他四名防守球员则各自占据禁区的四个角落，形成一个区域联防。面对五名湖人球员封锁内线以及队友们静止站在球场一侧的局面，文班别无选择，只能出手一记远距离中投，最终偏出。
- 那个失败的回合很大程度上要归咎于其他马刺球员没有正确地拉开空间，而他们自己也立刻意识到了这一点。在紧接着的下一个回合，他们确保了球场的两个底角以及弧顶位置都有球员接应。结果呢？文班在遭遇包夹后突破分球，助攻空位的巴恩斯，为球队再添三分。
- 很高兴看到索汉和奥利尼克回归，但这支球队仍然非常想念卢克·科内特。这位前凯尔特人球员是除文班之外唯一能提供稳定护筐的球员，他的缺阵导致马刺在文班下场时禁区失分如注。
- 对于那些认为圣安东尼奥因为拥有卡斯尔和哈珀就不再需要福克斯的人来说，过去两场比赛证明了恰恰相反的观点。卡斯尔在比赛的各个方面都有所进步，但仍然很难想象他能成为除第二持球点之外更重要的角色。周三晚上他出现了六次失误，并且在关键时刻持球时显得有些慌乱。而哈珀虽然未来某天可能成为主要决策者，但他现在还没准备好。拥有福克斯那种冲击篮筐的威胁和自主创造高效投篮机会的能力，将会让文班（以及其他所有人）的比赛打得轻松得多。
本场最佳镜头
即便是在一个手感不佳的夜晚，文班也能毫不费力地贡献精彩集锦。
全力起跳！文班重扣！

Spurs lose second straight in a bizarre game vs LA
Following their first loss of the season, the Spurs had work to do. Phoenix had concocted a scheme that exposed San Antonio’s lack of shooting while also limiting Wemby’s offense, forcing the good guys to adjust.
The Spurs did exactly that Wednesday night – to start, at least. From the tip, LA employed a similar strategy to the Suns by putting Marcus Smart on Wemby, and Jake LaRavia doubled as soon as the Frenchman touched the ball. This time, though, the Spurs were ready. Wemby instantly threw a pass to Barnes in the corner, who was left wide open due to LA collapsing in the paint. Mitch Johnson purposely started three shooters around Wemby and Castle in Champagnie, Barnes, and Vassell, and had one of them glued to each corner on every offensive possession. As a result, the Spurs made four corner threes by the end of the first, a marked improvement on the 10 total triples they had against Phoenix.
Defensively, Wemby was menacing as usual, making every Laker second-guess any shot they considered taking in the paint. However, LA also drove at him purposefully, trying to get him in foul trouble. This largely worked, as Wemby was forced to sit halfway through the second after picking up his third personal. Thankfully, both Kelly Olynyk and Jeremy Sochan returned from injury, giving the good guys some much-needed front-court support. The latter instantly drew the Luka assignment whenever Castle wasn’t in the game, but the Slovenian Wunderkind still made tough shots even against Sochan’s physical defense. With Wemby sitting for longer than usual, LA was also able to get easier looks around the rim, resulting in them leading 60-59 going into the break.

The floodgates stayed open for both teams in the second half. LA continued doubling Wemby at every opportunity, resulting in him struggling to get to his spots. To counter, he focused on creating contact and got some free points at the line, while the Lakers stuck to scoring from the perimeter. As soon as Wemby sat, though, Luka was able to throw easy lobs to his bigs, forcing Johnson to reinsert his star centre sooner than he liked.
The final period was chaotic on all fronts. With the Spurs up 96-88, the game turned into a slugfest when both Wemby and Luka were on the bench. Neither team could cobble together two consecutive offensive possessions to save their bacon, which changed immediately when Luka checked back in. Down nine, the Lakers’ defensive intensity went into overdrive, forcing multiple turnovers on Castle, resulting in the home team erasing the Spurs’ lead in an instant.
With an opportunity to get back in front, Wemby barrelled into Hachimura on a drive, leading to him fouling out. The Spurs’ fate seemed sealed by then, as the Lakers hit free throws to make it a two-possession game. However, Marcus Smart got overzealous and threw a cross-court pass to Hachimura before stepping out of bounds, allowing the Spurs to have one final opportunity down two. Champagnie almost got his hands on a potential game-tying layup but was fouled, and went to the line for free throws. After missing his first attempt, he purposefully threw it off the rim on his second try, and Keldon Johnson somehow managed to get his fingers on the ball, but his tip just barely rimmed out.
It was a bizarre loss in a game the Spurs mostly led, even though they didn’t deserve to. The good guys were disorganized the entire night, and it’s a miracle they had a chance to tie it in the final seconds. It’s hard to find a sample size smaller than two games, but the league now has a blueprint for how they can slow down San Antonio and Wemby, and anyone who thought that Fox is easily replaceable should certainly be changing their mind now.
Game notes
- Some of Wemby’s and the Spurs’ offensive struggles in the game reminded me of what the Bucks went through earlier in Giannis’ career. Teams often contained a younger version of the Greek Freak by building a wall to thwart his drives, and the Lakers did that Wednesday night as well. A play in the third highlighted this perfectly, when Wemby isoed at the elbow and was the lone Spur on that side of the court. LA played him straight up with every other defender creating a zone by positioning themselves at each corner of the paint. With five Lakers walling off the inside and the other Spurs standing stationary at one side of the court, Wemby had no choice but to take and miss a long mid-ranger.
- That failed play was largely on the other Spurs for not spacing properly, and they knew it right away. On the very next possession, they made sure that there was a player at both corners and also at the top of the arc. The result? A Wemby drive and kick to an open Barnes following a double team, and three more points on the board for the good guys.
- It was nice to see Sochan and Olynyk back, but this team still sorely misses Luke Kornet. The former Celtic is the only player other than Wemby who provides consistent rim protection, and his absence has resulted in the Spurs bleeding paint points whenever Wemby sits.
- For anyone thinking that San Antonio doesn’t need Fox because they have Castle and Harper, these past two games have proven the opposite. Castle has improved all aspects of his game, but it’s still hard to envision him as anything more than a secondary ballhandler. He had six turnovers Wednesday night and looked frazzled dribbling during crunch time. And while Harper can become the primary decision maker someday, he’s not ready for that now. Having Fox’s downhill threat and ability to self-create efficient shots will make Wemby’s (and everyone else’s) life so much easier.
Play of the game
Even on an off-night, Wemby produces highlights effortlessly.
MAX. POWER. WEMBY. JAM.
