欢迎来到《一周回顾》：这是一档于周一推出的栏目，回顾 *圣安东尼奥马刺 *过去一周的表现，展望未来一周的赛程等内容。敬请欣赏！
第五周 ：随着维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama)（小腿）和斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle)（臀部）也加入了伤病名单，老将德阿龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 和哈里森·巴恩斯 (Harrison Barnes) 挺身而出，带领这支突然间人手短缺的马刺队在主场鏖战中接连战胜灰熊和老鹰。然而，在随后的客场比赛中，他们再次不敌太阳队，后者似乎在本赛季吃定了他们。
第六周：2胜1负 (总战绩13胜6负，西部第5)
* 季中锦标赛
115-112 客场战胜波特兰开拓者\ *
赛后回顾 ：在文班缺阵的情况下，福克斯继续挺身而出，以37分的表现带领球队，与开拓者队当晚发挥出色的德尼·阿夫迪亚 (Deni Avdija) 展开对攻。然而，马刺队取胜的关键在于他们的阵容深度，德文·瓦塞尔 (Devin Vassell) 贡献23分，开启了他火热的一周，此外还有三名马刺球员得分上双，共同保住了球队晋级季中锦标赛的希望。随着迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 从小腿拉伤中回归，球队的健康状况也有所好转。
139-136 客场战胜丹佛掘金\ *
赛后回顾 ：瓦塞尔再次迎来爆发之夜——这一次他三分球9投7中，砍下35分，其中不乏关键时刻的致命一击——帮助马刺在下半场掀起反击高潮，力克尼古拉·约基奇 (Nikola Jokic) 领衔的掘金队，从而在“死亡之组”中脱颖而出，队史首次闯入季中锦标赛的四分之一决赛。尽管贾马尔·穆雷 (Jamal Murray) 砍下了全场最高的37分，但马刺通过强硬的身体对抗，并迫使约基奇成为传球手而非得分手（类似于本赛季其他球队应对文班的方式），成功地将约基奇的表现控制在相对合理的范围内（至少以他的标准来看）。
112-125 客场不敌明尼苏达森林狼
赛后回顾 ：比赛开局阶段马刺势头强劲，看起来他们似乎有望出人意料地以全胜战绩结束本周，但他们火热的手感在下半场对阵森林狼时最终还是离他们而去。福克斯和瓦塞尔再次联手砍下47分（合计35投20中），引领球队前进，同时凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson) 和哈珀则分别从替补席上贡献了22分和17分。然而，当安东尼·爱德华兹 (Anthony Edwards) 在下半场找到状态，并且明尼苏达的三分球开始命中时，他们便拉开了比分。
实力榜
John Schuhmann, NBA.com — 第8位 (上周：第8位)
进攻效率: 118.0 (第7) 防守效率: 113.5 (第13) 净效率: +4.5 (第10) 回合数: 99.9 (第26)
在没有维克托·文班亚马的情况下，马刺队取得了5胜2负的战绩。他们在周五做客丹佛的比赛中，在一度落后18分的情况下完成逆转，取得了本赛季最漂亮的一场胜利，并成功晋级NBA杯四分之一决赛。
三大看点
毫不意外，在文班亚马缺阵期间，马刺队在防守端有所退步（防守效率排名第18位）。从数据上看，他们在丹佛和明尼苏达的周末客场比赛是他们本赛季防守表现最差的两场比赛。当文班亚马不在场时，对手每48分钟的内线得分为49.6分，而当他在场时，这一数据仅为33.0分。
但他们的进攻在过去七场比赛中排名联盟第六，德阿龙·福克斯场均贡献26.1分和7.1次助攻。德文·瓦塞尔在丹佛迎来大爆发，17投12中砍下35分，并在比赛还剩不到一分半钟时，连续命中两记三分球（均来自卢克·科内特 (Luke Kornet) 的助攻），帮助马刺队锁定胜局。掘金队在本场比赛中百回合得到136分，这也是本赛季输球一方打出的最高效的进攻表现。
迪伦·哈珀在缺席10场比赛后于上周复出，并在周日对阵明尼苏达的比赛中替补出场，12投8中得到17分。在他复出的三场比赛里，他与福克斯（在哈珀受伤前没有上场）仅同时在场了7分钟，而马刺在这些时间里净负4分（13个防守回合失了18分）。
未来展望: 马刺正处于一段9场比赛中有8个客场的艰难赛程中。唯一的主场比赛是周二对阵灰熊队，而在第二天晚上客场挑战奥兰多时，他们将面临体能上的劣势。
Law Murray, The Athletic — 第7位 (上周：第9位)
新面孔: 中锋 卢克·科内特
维克托·文班亚马因小腿拉伤已缺席超过两周。这让科内特被推上了关键位置，而在科内特首发出任中锋的比赛中，马刺取得了5胜2负的战绩。科内特的打法毫无花哨之处（当然，除了他的招牌动作“科内特式干扰”），他只是在进攻端做扎实的掩护，在防守端则送出盖帽。在文班亚马回归之前，这正是圣安东尼奥所需要的一切。
Brett Siegel, Clutch Points — 第7位 (上周：第8位)
即便没有维克托·文班亚马，圣安东尼奥马刺队仍然持续证明着他们是一支实力榜前十的球队。在文班缺阵的最近七场比赛中，这支队伍赢下了其中五场，原因在于当他不在场时，球队的运作方式有所不同。
当文班亚马下场休息时，马刺更倾向于拉开场上空间，并以不同的节奏进行比赛，这是件好事，因为他们已经在他缺席的情况下建立起了自己的体系，并非事事都需要依赖他。他们本赛季最漂亮的一场胜利，就是在周五以139-136战胜丹佛掘金队的比赛中，从落后18分的情况下完成逆转，并赢得了西部C组的头名。
未来赛程 ：12月2日周二 vs. 孟菲斯灰熊 (9-12)；12月3日周三 at 奥兰多魔术 (12-8)；12月5日周五 at 克利夫兰骑士 (12-9)
赛果预测：2胜1负 — 上周我的预测并不看好他们，结果被打脸了，所以这周我会给出一个更稳妥的预测（一语双关）。马刺将短暂回归主场，他们有机会证明近期在主场战胜伤兵满营的灰熊队并非“侥幸”（毕竟那是他们自2019年以来首次战胜对手），随后他们将再次开启连续四个客场之旅。与马刺队相似，魔术队在他们的明星球员保罗·班凯罗 (Paolo Banchero) 缺阵期间也打出了一波不错的势头；而骑士队本赛季至今的表现令人失望，但他们在主场战绩稳固，并且拥有随时可能爆发的阵容配置。

Week in Review: Spurs get two big road wins to reach NBA Cup quarterfinals
Welcome to the Week in Review: a Monday feature that looks back at the week that was for theSan Antonio Spurs, takes a look at the week ahead, and more. Enjoy!
Week 5: Veterans De’Aaron Fox and Harrison Barnes helped lead the suddenly shorthanded Spurs — with Victor Wembanyama (calf) and Stephon Castle (hip) added to the injury list — to a couple of clutch wins at home against the Grizzlies and Hawks before they once again fell on the road to a Suns squad that seems to have their number so far this season.
Week 6: 2-1 (13-6, 5th in West)
* In-Season Tournament
115-112 win at Portland Trail Blazers*
Recap: Fox continued to step up and lead the team in Wemby’s absence with 37 points to match a big night from the Blazers’ Deni Avdija. However, the difference for the Spurs was their depth, with Devin Vassell kicking off a hot week with 23 points along with three other Spurs scoring in double figures to keep their In-Season Tournament hopes alive. They also got a little healthier with the return of Dylan Harper from a calf strain.
139-136 win at Denver Nuggets*
Recap: Another big night from Vassell — this time 35 points on 7-9 from three, including some huge ones in the clutch — helped propel the Spurs in a second half surge over Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets to advance out of the “Group of Death” and into the quarterfinals of the In-Season Tournament for the first time. Even though Jamal Murray had a game-high 37 points, the Spurs managed to hold Jokic relatively in check (at least by his standards) with physicality and by making him a passer instead of scorer (similar to approaches teams have taken with Wemby this season).
112-125 loss at Minnesota Timberwolves
Recap: After a strong start made it look like the Spurs might surprisingly sweep the week, their hot shooting finally abandoned them in the second half against the T-Wolves. Fox and Vassell once again led the way with a combined 47 points on 20-35 shooting, as well as Keldon Johnson and Harper contributing 22 and 17 points off the bench, respectively, but once Anthony Edwards got going in the second half and the threes started falling for Minnesota, they pulled away.
Power Rankings
John Schuhmann, NBA.com — 8 (last week: 8)
OffRtg: 118.0 (7) DefRtg: 113.5 (13) NetRtg: +4.5 (10) Pace: 99.9 (26)
The Spurs are 5-2 without Victor Wembanyama, having come back from 18 points down in Denver on Friday to get their best win of the season and advance to the NBA Cup quarterfinals.
Three takeaways
Not surprisingly, the Spurs have taken a step backward (ranking 18th) defensively in Wembanyama’s absence. Their weekend games in Denver and Minnesota were, statistically, their two worst defensive games of the season and their opponents have averaged 49.6 points in the paint per 48 minutes with Wembanyama off the floor, compared to just 33.0 per 48 with him on the floor.
But their offense ranks sixth over these last seven games, with De’Aaron Fox averaging 26.1 points and 7.1 assists. Devin Vassell went off in Denver, scoring 35 points on 12-for-17 shooting and giving the Spurs the lead for good with two straight 3-pointers (both off feeds from Luke Kornet) with less than a minute and a half to go. The Nuggets’ 136 points on 100 possessions was the most efficient performance for a losing team this season.
Dylan Harper returned from a 10-game absence last week and had 17 points (on 8-for-12 shooting) off the bench in Minnesota on Sunday. He and Fox (who didn’t play until after Harper was injured) played just seven minutes together over his three games back and the Spurs were outscored by four points (allowing 18 on 13 defensive possessions) in those minutes.
Coming up: The Spurs are in the middle of a stretch where they’re playing eight of nine on the road. The lone home game is against the Grizzlies on Tuesday, and they’ll be at a rest disadvantage the following night in Orlando.
Law Murray, The Athletic — 7 (last week: 9)
New face: C Luke Kornet
Victor Wembanyama hasn’t played in more than two weeks while dealing with a calf strain. That has thrust Kornet into a key role, and the Spurs are 5-2 with Kornet starting at center. There’s nothing flashy about Kornet (outside of the Kornet Kontest, of course), as he just sets good screens on offense while blocking shots on defense. That’s all San Antonio needs until Wembanyama returns.
Brett Siegel, Clutch Points — 7 (last week: 8)
Even without Victor Wembanyama, the San Antonio Spurs have continued to prove that they are a top 10 team in the NBA power rankings. This group has won five of their last seven games without Wemby, and that is because of how different they operate when he’s out of the game.
The Spurs tend to spread the court more and play at a different pace when Wembanyama sits, which is a good thing since they have already built an identity without him and don’t always need to lean on him for everything. Their best win of the season was coming back from being down 18 points and winning West Group C against the Denver Nuggets on Friday with a 139-136 victory.
Coming up: Tues. 12/2 vs. Memphis Grizzlies (9-12); Wed. 12/3 at Orlando Magic (12-8); Fri. 12/5 at Cleveland Cavaliers (12-9)
Prediction: 2-1 — I doubted and got burned last week, so I’ll go with a predictable prediction (pun intended) this week. The Spurs briefly return home with a chance to show their recent home win against the injured Grizzlies was no “fluke” (it was their first since 2019, after all) before hitting the road for another four games. Like the Spurs, the Magic have been on a bit of a run without their star in Paolo Banchero, and the Cavs have disappointed so far but have been solid at home and have the personnel to get hot anytime.
