在经历了情绪如过山车般起伏的一周后——从客场两连败，到前一晚主场通过一场狂野而混乱的比赛险胜火箭——马刺队正面临着一场终极的“陷阱之战”，对手是虽然缺兵少将但仍取得两连胜的新奥尔良鹈鹕队。在迎来赛季首秀的德阿龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 的带动下，尽管比赛过程并非一帆风顺，但马刺全场保持领先，并凭借第二节的出色发挥成功压制住鹈鹕，最终以126-119取胜，将战绩提升至7胜2负。
福克斯在回归之战中贡献了24分和3次助攻，维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 砍下18分、18个篮板和5次封盖，而斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 则送出了14分和14次助攻的两双数据。新奥尔良队的特雷·墨菲三世 (Trey Murhpy III) 打出了惊艳表现，投篮22中15，狂砍41分。
## 场边观察
- 福克斯的回归意味着朱利安·尚佩尼 (Julian Champagnie) 回到了替补席。这也让卡斯尔更多地扮演第二持球手的角色，而他在此角色中表现出色。他无需负责组织进攻，而是更多地参与到战术执行中，仅在第一节就送出了7次助攻且0失误。福克斯则在他本赛季的首次登场时间里贡献了1次助攻和2个篮板。
- 据我回忆，在我整个NBA观赛生涯中，我只记得有一次扣篮后的“吊筐”违例被吹罚。那次是针对当时还在马刺效力的德胡安·布莱尔 (DeJuan Blair)，他声称自己是为了避免落到摔倒在篮下的球员身上。快进到今天，比赛刚开始不久，墨菲三世完成了一次[补扣](https://x.com/PelicansNBA/status/1987328123713544427)，之后还吊在篮筐上摆动双腿秀了一把花活，结果踢到了卡斯尔的头部。裁判介入以确保卡斯尔没有过激反应，但并未吹罚吊筐违例。所以我必须问，如果这都不算违例，那这项规则的意义何在？
- 福克斯在第二节进攻端火力全开，单节得到15分，其中包括一波15-0攻击波中的连续10分，一度将比分拉开。他似乎并未因腿筋伤势而有所顾忌，而且随着小拇指伤势痊愈，他的投篮手感看起来比上赛季好多了。
- 马刺在第二节的高潮中一度将领先优势扩大到17分之多，但他们可能有些过于松懈，开始陷入这场比赛的“陷阱”之中，毕竟鹈鹕队缺少了蔡恩·威廉姆森 (Zion Williamson)、乔丹·普尔 (Jordan Poole) 和伊夫·米西 (Yves Missi)。鹈鹕迅速反击，在半场结束时将分差追至8分，并在第三节中段一度将分差缩小到仅有5分。随后，马刺的替补阵容帮助球队重新找回状态，在第三节再次将领先优势扩大到13分，但他们始终未能真正终结比赛悬念。
- 到目前为止，我非常欣赏杰里米·索汉 (Jeremy Sochan) 的一切表现。他在攻防两端做着所有细微的工作，并在防守端带来了极高的强度，这有助于在文班下场时维持球队的防守水准。他最终可能会、也可能不会重返首发阵容，但无论如何，他能回归真是太棒了。
- “51区”在第四节初段彰显了威力，卡斯尔先是助攻文班完成一次反身空中接力，随后又助其命中一记底角三分，将领先优势扩大到14分，给了马刺一些喘息空间——而这正是他们亟需的。鹈鹕队并未放弃，持续反击，在比赛最后几分钟凭借墨菲和赫伯特·琼斯 (Herb Jones) 的关键三分，一度将比分追至仅差3分。在比赛还剩不到一分钟时，分差依然只有三分，但这时福克斯再次向所有人证明了他在关键时刻的价值，他面对德里克·奎因 (Derik Queen) 命中一记中距离跳投，并稳稳命中两次罚球，从而锁定胜局。

接下来，马刺将开启客场之旅，于周一对阵由特雷·琼斯 (Tre Jones) 领衔、表现令人惊喜的芝加哥公牛队。比赛将于中部时间晚7点整开始，由FanDuel Sports转播。

> # San Antonio vs. New Orleans, Final Score: Spurs avoid trap game, beat Pelicans 126-119
>
> 
>
> After an emotional roller coaster of a week, from losing two straight on the road to a wild, chaotic home win against the Rockets the night before, the Spurs were staring at the ultimate trap game against a shorthanded New Orleans Pelicans squad that had still won two straight. Sparked by the season debut De’Aaron Fox, it wasn’t always pretty, but the Spurs led wire-to-wire and used a strong second quarter to keep the Pelicans at bay for a 126-119 win to improve to 7-2.
>
> Fox had 24 points and 3 assists in his return to action, Victor Wembanyama had 18 points, 18 rebounds and 5 blocks, and Stephon Castle had a 14-point, 14-assist double-double. Trey Murhpy III had a huge night for New Orleans with 41 points on 15-22 shooting.
>
> ## Observations
>
> - Fox’s return meant Julian Champagnie moved to a bench role. It also meant more of a secondary ball-handler role for Castle, which he thrived in. Without having to set up plays but rather be in the middle of them, he finished the first quarter alone with 7 assists to zero turnovers. Fox had 1 assist and 2 rebounds in his first stint of the season.
> - Off the top of my head, I can think of only one time in my entire NBA watching experience that a “hanging on the rim” after a dunk was called. It was on DeJuan Blair when he was Spur, and he claimed it was to prevent from landing on a player who had fallen underneath. Fast forward to today, and early in the game, Murphy III had a [put back dunk](https://x.com/PelicansNBA/status/1987328123713544427), added some flair afterwards by hanging on the rim and flailing his legs and ended up kicking Castle in the head. The ref stepped in to make sure Castle didn’t react, but no hanging call. So I have to ask, what is the point of that rule if it’s not that?
> - Fox really got going offensively in the second quarter, where he scored 15 points, including 10 straight as part of a 15-0 to briefly break the game open. He didn’t seem hesitant about his hamstring, and his shooting stroke looks much better than last season now that his pinky finger is repaired.
> - The Spurs got the lead outby as much as 17 during their second quarter surge, but they may have gotten too comfortable and started falling for the “trap” aspect of this game, with the Pelicans down Zion Williamson, Jordan Poole and Yves Missi. They quickly fought back to get the lead back down to 8 at halftime and got as close as 5 midway through the third before the Spurs’ bench unit helped wake them back up and get the lead back out to as much as 13 in third, although they still failed to truly close things out.
> - I am loving everything about Jeremy Sochan so far. He’s doing all the little things on both ends and brings a level of intensity on defense that helps keep things from falling off when Wemby exits. He may or may not eventually return to the starting lineup, but it’s great having him back regardless.
> - Area 51 made its presence felt early in the fourth quarter with Castle finding Wemby for a reverse alley-oop and then a corner three to get the lead out to 14 and give the Spurs some breathing room that they would need every bit of the Pelicans just kept fighting back, getting as close as 3 three points with a few minutes to go as Murphy and Herb Jones kept hitting monster threes. They were still within three with under a minute to go, but that’s when Fox reminded everyone of his value in the clutch, hitting a mid-range shot around Derik Queen and two free throws to seal the deal.

> The Spurs will return to the road to take on the Tre Jones and the surprising Chicago Bulls on Monday. Tip-off will be at 7:00 PM CT on FanDuel Sports.

>
> 卡斯尔送出14次助攻，却只有2次失误！太喜欢这家伙了。而且，尽管他的三分没投进，但我喜欢他那种从不畏惧出手的感觉。我感觉他最终会成为一名相当不错的三分射手。
> [@Toblet](#):
>
> 一些个人观点：
>
> - 我得向巴恩斯道个歉。我讨厌我们现在打的那些小个阵容，不断换防。每次文班下场，我们最终都几乎没有护筐，也没有三分防守。但这不能怪巴恩斯。
>
> 要怪就怪米奇。
>
> - 不明白为什么奥利尼克没上场。利用科内特的伤病把他整合进轮换阵容会是个不错的选择。反正我们迟早需要他。
>
> - 每场没有科内特的比赛，都像是在晴朗的海滩上没有冰淇淋，没有啤酒，没有奶昔，或者没有……好吧，你们懂的。
>
> - 凯尔登得到的赞誉还远远不够。我保证过我会念叨一整年。
> 赛前赛后，他都是那个开心果，总是积极向上，带来很好的氛围。比赛中，他又像一头愤怒的野兽，在对抗中得分，并且总是抢下大量强硬的前场篮板。这样的球员数据可能不亮眼，但他们的价值简直突破天际了（你可能不知道这个梗，没关系）。
>
> - 没有福克斯，我们绝对、绝对、绝对赢不了这场比赛。我都忘了他是如何能毫不费力地得分，并为他人创造空位投篮机会的。
>
> - 卡斯尔在戏耍防守者后的中距离跳投看起来十拿九稳。我希望他能更多地那样出手。
>
> - 沃特斯三世的作用比他的数据栏显示的要大。
>
> - 米奇永远不会挑战成功一次。大伙别指望了。
>
> - 文班上场时间太长了。人们没有意识到在攻防两端满场飞奔有多么累人。
> 我们应该把奥利尼克放进轮换，让文班少打一会儿。我宁愿输掉一些能赢的比赛，也不想看到他因为跑不动而投丢三分，彻底累垮。
> 也许米奇想拿到尽可能好的战绩来保住自己的帅位，但这不符合马刺精神。
>
> 等哈珀和科内特回归，说实话，我无惧联盟中的任何一支球队。这个阵容太恐怖了。我们可以给很多人带来惊喜。我们有潜力成为冠军争夺者。
>
> 马刺加油
>
> > [@Nelliskid](#):
> >
> > 你说的东西里有太多错误了，但好吧，你说了就说了。首先，我要指出其中一点，那就是无论有没有福克斯，我们都绝对会赢下这场比赛。我不知道你有没有看技术统计，但我看到好像有7名球员得分上双。如果我们在本赛季余下的比赛里能做到这一点，或者接近这个水平，坦白说，我希望我们至少有5到7名球员能站出来，那我们就会非常出色。至于科内特，他该回来的时候自然会回来，就这么简单。而且我很享受晴朗的日子，我不需要啤酒，也不需要冰淇淋或其他任何东西，我只喜欢大海。我再多说一点，赛季才打了9场比赛，每个教练都在以某种形式进行试验。现在我要坐下来好好享受这场胜利……你可以继续郁闷。

> > > 我完全没从他的帖子里感受到这种氛围。Toblet只是在表达他自己的观点，在他觉得合适的地方进行批评或赞扬。为什么要因为一个人做了这里几乎每个人都常做的事而攻击他……而且我碰巧也同意他的一些观点（不是全部），所以我想你也可以给我贴上‘郁闷’的标签了（我可一点都不郁闷）。
>
> > [@darint](#):
> >
> > 郑重声明一下，文班总共就打了32分钟，比德文和卡斯尔都少，也就比伤愈复出的福克斯多打了1分钟。米奇远没有到锡伯杜式地把他往死里用的程度。
> [@7David](#):
>
> 等卢克（科内特）回来，阵容会更加完整，那些没有文班在场的时间段，我们在保护防守篮板，或者因防线过度收缩保护篮板而漏掉外拆三分球这些问题上，就不会被惩罚得那么惨了。
> [@Carlos280](#):
>
> 马刺打完前十场比赛时，一直有重要球员缺阵，战绩最好也就是8胜2负，最差7胜3负。考虑到当/如果全员健康，他们只会变得更好，这不算是一个糟糕的开局。当然，未来几周他们将面临更强的对手。
>
> 福克斯没有让人失望。卡斯尔与文班和索汉都建立了很棒的联系，整场比赛打得非常好。凯尔登还是那个凯尔登，巴恩斯、德文、尚帕尼看起来都不错。我很高兴看到杰里米（索汉）、卡斯尔、CB同时在场。我们有一些潜力阵容，绝对能制造很多“好的麻烦”。
>
> 不利的一面是，马刺本应以15-25分的分差轻松拿下这场比赛。好的一面是，他们最终还是赢了。
>
> 这又是一场打得别扭、难看、混乱的比赛，但对我们来说，这仍然是一场胜利。马刺加油
> [@mikrobass3](#):

> 我觉得斯蒂芬·‘绝对不是控卫’·卡斯尔场均助攻排在联盟第10，这挺酷的。
>
> 顺便说一句，他的场均抢断排在联盟第7。

> 在‘得分后卫’中，他的场均篮板排在第8。

> > 奇怪的是，你却把这一点给漏了。
> >
> > 卡斯尔很棒，也许他最终能够胜任控卫职责，而不会一场比赛把球扔给对手5次，但他现在还没到那个水平。就像我们昨晚看到的，场上有一位像福克斯这样稳定、可靠的主力后卫在他身边，他会受益匪浅。昨晚卡斯尔的很多助攻都是由福克斯的‘冰球助攻’策动的，福克斯在绝佳的位置把球传给了卡斯尔让他做决策，而不是让卡斯尔自己运球创造机会。

> 福克斯的三分投篮在我看来极其丝滑和自信。我们终于有机会看到他能造成多大的破坏——他在第二节一举打破僵局，而且做得不费吹灰之力。
>
> 维克（文班亚马）在进攻端的节奏仍然不对，感觉很别扭。
>
> 索汉不出手空位投篮。当他突入空旷的罚球区时，他没有利用机会出手，结果让自己陷入了困境。必须得有所改变了——索汉，自信一点，开始投那些该死的球吧。不过，你的防守和串联作用我很喜欢。

>
> 巴恩斯：老而弥坚。
> [@sdowns1470](#):
>
> 9场比赛后7胜2负，太不可思议了。我不记得我们上一次在这个阶段打出7胜2负是什么时候了。8人得分上双。福克斯以24分领衔全队，他回归首秀打得非常棒。
>
> 福克斯为卡斯尔分担了压力。卡斯尔今晚送出14次助攻，只有2次失误。我就知道一旦福克斯回来，他会做得更好。卡斯尔可以迎回他的搭档，并分担控卫的职责。
>
> 周一的比赛在芝加哥。那将是一场硬仗。公牛队今晚输了球，所以他们会充满动力。公牛队目前是6胜3负。这将是一场好看的比赛。
> [@IowaNice](#):
>
> 我以前说过，现在我再说一遍。米奇需要放开点，用他那该死的教练挑战。这又不会对他有什么损失。
> [@Veggiedelite](#):
>
> 必须得说，我们昨天看到了马刺为什么对福克斯如此谨慎。看着杰伦·格林 (Jalen Green) 在赛季首秀一场后就腿筋伤势再度加重，真是让人不忍直视。看起来很痛苦。
> [@santafefan](#):
>
> 现在我们要去打客场了……会很艰难，角色球员在客场的投篮通常不如在主场……而且公牛是一支结构合理的球队……好好休息吧伙计们……魔鬼赛程要开始了……马刺加油
> [@eaglemike](#):
>
> 我真的很享受看着这些家伙学习如何在一起打球。有些决策在未来可以/将会做得更好。当他们磨合出化学反应、积累了经验之后，他们将能够击败任何对手。这将是不可避免的，对手们到时只能接受失利。就像当年三巨头时代一样。当卢克（科内特）回来后，阵容深度将会非常强大。凯尔登和杰里米（索汉）看起来不错，在篮板球上拼劲十足。他们所有人都比去年看起来更好。去年只是伤病太多，新球员也太多了。即便是一场本该更轻松的胜利，也仍然是一场胜利！

> [@BlueCheezus](#):
>
> 最让我印象深刻的是，福克斯真的很清楚‘51区’（文班亚马与卡斯尔）之间有真正的化学反应，并且在比赛早期就让他们自由发挥。
>
> 不管你称之为例行生疏还是别的什么，你可以看到福克斯在比赛初期打得很无私，这也让‘福克斯回来后马刺该怎么办？’这个整个问题变得毫无意义。他们会怎么办？赢球。
>
> 然而，当球需要在他手中时，他就能掌控一切。而且做得非常棒。他在场上如同滑翔，直到有人按下了R2加速键，然后他就变成了一道残影。
>
> 从第一天起，我就一直认为哈珀应该扮演一个吉诺比利式的角色，当他回归后，我们的轮换阵容将会变得更加出色。

As for Kornet he comes back when he comes back it’s that simple And I enjoy my sunny days I don’t need beer I don’t need ice cream or anything else I just like the ocean.

As we saw last night, he greatly benefits from being having a steady, reliable lead guard like Fox on the court with him. A lot of Castle’s assists last night were set up by a Fox ‘hockey assist’ where he got the ball to Castle in the perfect position to make a decision, rather than Castle having to get himself there off the dribble.

> > I really enjoy watching these guys learn to play together. Some of the decisions can/will be better down the road. When they get that chemistry/experience together they will be able to beat anyone. It will be inevitable, opponents will just expect a loss. Like the years of the big 3. Depth is going to be really strong when Luke is back. Keldon and Jeremy looked good, showing great effort on the boards. All of them looked better than last year. Just too many injuries and new players last year. Even a win that should have been easier is still a win!
