圣安东尼奥电——当他与维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 正面对峙时，德雷蒙德·格林 (Draymond Green) 显然丝毫没有退让的意思。就在几分钟前，格林刚刚封盖了这位马刺大个子，而文班亚马随即在他头顶完成一记空接暴扣作为回应。
要是这球算了的话

随着现场观众瞬间沸腾，格林怒视着文班亚马，而这位马刺新星也回敬了几句。素来乐于对抗的格林似乎比包括双方安保人员在内的所有人都更早地投入并享受着这一刻的紧张气氛，随后众人才匆忙赶来。
“我尊重他的回应方式，”在周五晚的NBA杯比赛中，勇士（8胜6负）以109-108击败马刺（8胜4负）后，格林说道。“你永远不该在任何人面前退缩，他没有。所以我很尊重这一点。”
最终，这一进球因格林在扣篮前对文班亚马犯规而被判无效。然而，这一球的意义已经彰显。这是他这一代最强防守者与下一代最强防守者的对决，展现了他能达到旁人无法企及的高度。
“我不是想向任何人证明什么，”文班亚马说。“只是在某个时刻，就像任何人一样，至少对我来说，当有人用某种方式对你说话时，你就必须用某种方式回应。事情就是这样。”
作为一名四届总冠军，格林凭借他的篮球智慧，能够对抗比自己高出一英尺的对手，并且防得比联盟中任何人都好。格林一直给文班亚马制造着麻烦，但文班亚马的崛起势不可挡。
“我最好的回应总是在球场上。那才是对他们伤害最大的方式，”据《队报》记者马克西姆·奥宾 (Maxime Aubin) 报道，文班亚马用法语说道。“当我隔扣他之后，（格林）就彻底安静了。”
格林很欣赏通过激发出自己的最佳状态，从而也激发出对手的最佳表现。文班亚马本场得到26分和12个篮板，但无法与斯蒂芬·库里 (Steph Curry) 的49分相媲美，而格林则送出了全队最高的8次助攻。
这位勇士中锋对这起冲突的处理方式中所感受到的双重标准感到更为沮丧。
“看到他展露情绪是件好事。我喜欢球员们表现出情绪，”格林说。“我只是希望，我也可以像他那样，对着别人的脸大喊，然后让队友过来拉住我而什么事都没有——因为如果是我对着别人的脸大喊还抓人，我就会被无限期禁赛。”
在连续两场比赛中与格林缠斗后，文班亚马得到了他所需要的情绪宣泄。但格林笑到了最后，他在比赛的最后一投中死死卡住了文班亚马，确保后者在球弹向他那边时无法完成制胜补篮。
最终，当胜利从马刺手中溜走时，那记暴扣带来的满足感也烟消云散了。
“我享受那个瞬间吗？好问题。我不知道，”文班亚马说。“我现在可享受不起来。”

Victor Wembanyama, Draymond Green relish going toe-to-toe after alley-oop
SAN ANTONIO — As he stood toe-to-toe with Victor Wembanyama, it became apparent Draymond Green was not going to back down. Just a few moments after Green rejected the Spurs’ big man, Wembanyama responded by throwing down an alley-oop right over Green’s head.

As the crowd exploded, Green glared right up at Wembanyama, and the Spurs star responded with a few words. Green, who relishes confrontation, appeared to embrace the gravity of the moment before everyone else, including the teams’ security details, came rushing in.
“I respect the way he responded,” Green said after the Warriors (8-6) beat the Spurs (8-4) 109-108 in an NBA Cup game Friday night. “You don’t ever back down from anybody, and he didn’t. So I respect that.”
In the end, the basket was waved off because Green apparently fouled Wembanyama before the dunk. However, the point was made. The best defender of his generation against the best defender of the next, showing he can reach heights nobody else can.
“I was not trying to prove anything to anybody,” Wembanyama said. “It’s just, at some point, just like anybody, for me at least, somebody speaks to you a certain way, you have to respond in a certain way. That’s just how it is.”
A four-time champion whose guile allows him to stand up to a man a foot taller than him and guard him better than anyone else in the game. Green has been giving Wembanyama fits, but Wembanyama is inevitable.
“My best answer is always on the court. That’s what hurts them the most,” Wembanyama said in French, according to L’Equipe’s Maxime Aubin. “(Green) went completely silent when I dunked on him.”
Green appreciated bringing out the best in his opponent by bringing out his best. Wembanyama finished with 26 points and 12 rebounds, but couldn’t match Steph Curry’s 49 points, while Green had a team-high eight assists.
The Warriors center was more frustrated with the double standard he felt with how the whole fracas played out.
“It’s good to see him show emotion. I like when guys show emotion,” Green said. “I just wish that if I can yell in someone’s face and then a teammate can come grab me and nothing happens — because if I yell in someone’s face and grab someone, I get suspended indefinitely.”
Wembanyama got the cathartic release he needed after battling Green in two consecutive games. But Green got the last laugh, boxing Wembanyama out on the final shot of the game to make sure he couldn’t get a winning tip-in if the ball caromed his way.
In the end, the satisfaction of the big dunk faded away when the win slipped from the Spurs’ grasp.
“Did I enjoy it? Good question. I don’t know,” Wembanyama said. “I’m not enjoying the moment right now.”
