昨晚的比赛数据中，我不确定哪一项最令人印象深刻：
(a) 德文·瓦塞尔 (Devin Vassell) 超越布鲁斯·鲍文 (Bruce Bowen)，三分命中数升至马刺队史第四位，
(b) 朱利安·尚帕尼 (Julian Champagnie) 连续第三场比赛拿到两双，全部是在这次客场之旅中达成，
(c) 马刺在德阿隆·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 得分未超过20分的情况下赢得了比赛，
(d) 只要丹尼·格林 (Danny Green) 担任解说，马刺就从未输过球，或者
(e) 马刺在没有维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 的情况下更强了。
好吧，这最后一条显然是标题党（这也是我没把它放在标题里的原因），但我确实觉得这事很搞笑，上周马刺对阵亚特兰大老鹰时，就有人抛出一种论调，说老鹰在没有特雷·杨 (Trae Young) 的情况下战绩更好。（到目前为止，有杨在场时他们2胜3负，没他时9胜5负。）五场比赛的样本量并不算大，但一想到同样的说法可以轻蔑地暗示在维克托·文班亚马身上，还是让我忍俊不禁。
在有文班出战的前十二场比赛中，马刺取得了8胜4负，胜率66.7%。而在他因伤缺阵期间，他们目前的战绩是5胜1负，胜率83.3%。这确实证明了马刺的阵容深度、天赋，以及在任何球员因伤缺阵时其他人挺身而出的能力。而且，任何一支球队都不可能在没有维克托·文班亚马的情况下变得更好。
德文·瓦塞尔命中七记三分并砍下三十五分，正是球员们挺身而出的体现之一。朱利安·尚帕尼在得分上双的同时，还能抢下两位数的篮板，同样如此。
至于德阿隆·福克斯，他不可能每晚都砍下20+的得分，但他的才华并不仅仅体现在投篮上。福克斯送出了12次助攻，为马刺创造了32分。他在掌控比赛节奏、引领球队前行的同时，在很多方面都做出了贡献。如果他自己不得分，他就会确保队友能得分。
最后，丹尼·格林当然是个幸运符。这家伙在三支不同的球队拿到了三枚总冠军戒指。他从来不是球队的核心球员。他靠自己创造了运气，在被克利夫兰骑士队裁掉后依然不断拼搏。直到他第二次效力马刺时，他才真正站稳了脚跟。努力和决心是格林职业生涯长青的基石。
他从未入选过全明星。但他是一个可靠的队友，清楚自己的角色并出色地完成了任务。而且他还是个非常厉害的三分射手。就我个人而言，如果马刺想让他解说更多比赛，我绝不会有意见。幸运符，✓。和雅各布·托比 (Jacob Tobey) 的绝佳搭档，✓。解说比赛很棒，✓。
马刺队晋级NBA杯四分之一决赛，比赛将在12月9日或10日进行。希望他们能在后一天比赛，因为他们在8号也有一场比赛，没人想在背靠背的第二天打一场淘汰赛。
无论如何，马刺在周日晚上将对阵安东尼·爱德华兹 (Anthony Edwards) 和明尼苏达森林狼队。这是一个与另一支常年季后赛强队交锋的绝佳机会。
马刺加油！

Open Thread: The Spurs claim West Group C’s top spot in NBA Emirates Cup race
I’m not sure which of these stats from last night was most impressive:
(a) Devin Vassell surpasses Bruce Bowen and claims the fourth spot three-pointers made in Spurs franchise history,
(b) Julian Champagnie tallies his third double-double in a row, all on this road trip,
(c) the Spurs won without De’Aaron Foxscoring 20 points,
(d) the Spurs have never lost when Danny Green calls the game, or
(e) the Spurs are better without Victor Wembanyama.
Okay, so that last one is obvious clickbait (which is exactly why I didn’t put it in the headline), but I did find it humorous when the Spurs played Atlanta last week and the narrative was floated that the Hawks were better without Trae Young because of their record. (They were 2-3 with Young and 9-5 without him thus far.) Five games is not a real sample size, but it still made me laugh to think that the same could contemptuously be insinuated regarding Victor Wembanyama.
The Spurs went 8-4, 0r .667%, in the first twelve games with Wemby. They are currently 5-1, .833%, while he’s been sidelined. That is truly a testament to the Spurs depth, talent, and ability to step up when any player is out with an injury. And there is no way a team could be better off without Victor Wembanyama.
Devin Vassell hitting seven threes and scoring thirty-five points is part of that dynamic of players stepping up. So is Julian Champagnie pulling double-digit rebounds while scoring in double figures.
And as for De’Aaron Fox, they are not going to all be 20+ scoring nights, but his talent doesn’t end with his shot. Fox had 12 assists creating 32-points for the Spurs. He contributes in so many ways while dictating pace and steering the ship. If he’s not scoring, he’s assuring someone else is.
Finally, of course Danny Green is a good luck charm. The man has three rings from three different teams. He was never the go-to player on a team. He made his own luck, continuing to hussle after being cut from the Cleveland Cavaliers. It wasn’t until his second stint with the Spurs before he really found his footing. Hard work and determination was the cornerstone of Green’s longevity.
He never made an All-Star team. But he was a solid teammate, knew his role and played it well. And he was one heck of a three-point shooter. I, for one, won’t be mad if the Spurs want to bring him in for more games. Good luck charm, check. Great pairing with Jacob Tobey, check. Great at calling games, check.
The Spurs advance to the NBA Cup Quarterfinals and play either December 9th or 10th. Hopefully, they’ll play the latter as they have a game on the 8th, and no one wants to go into an elimination game on the second night of a back to back.
Either way, the Spurs have a game Sunday evening against Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves. A great chance to play another perennial postseason contender.
Go Spurs Go!
