2025年12月3日，佛罗里达州奥兰多，圣安东尼奥马刺队的4号球员德阿隆·福克斯在起亚中心球馆进行的第四节比赛中，面对奥兰多魔术队的22号球员弗朗茨·瓦格纳命中一记三分球后做出反应。
克利夫兰电——人们对德阿隆·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 的防守策略早已不是什么秘密。
奥兰多魔术队的弗朗茨·瓦格纳 (Franz Wagner) 显然深谙此道。
周三比赛的第四节末段，当这位身高6英尺10英寸的瓦格纳面对以速度见长的马刺后卫福克斯时，他完全按照教练的部署进行防守。
他选择后退，给了福克斯空间。空间不算太大，但足以让福克斯在比赛最后3分15秒内命中两记后撤步三分球，帮助马刺在起亚中心球馆以 114-112 险胜对手。
“如果是一对一单打，联盟里很多防守者都会放我一步，因为他们知道我想冲击篮筐，”福克斯说。“如果他们给我这一步空间，我就有信心后撤步出手，因为我知道自己有足够的时间和空间来命中投篮。”
作为NBA速度最快的后卫之一，身高6英尺3英寸的福克斯凭借其超凡的突破能力和杀入禁区的技巧，打造了全明星级别的职业生涯。
本赛季至今，他在三分线外的表现同样出色，频频命中投篮。在周五对阵克利夫兰骑士队的比赛前，当维克托·文班亚马和斯蒂芬·卡斯尔缺阵时，福克斯场均贡献25分，承担起了球队头号得分手的重任。
然而，他早已不仅仅是一位上篮和中距离大师。
福克斯一直在利用防守者多给他的那一步空间，以生涯最佳的效率命中三分球。在周五比赛前，他三分球83投32中，命中率高达38.6%。
这种三威胁得分能力，让27岁的福克斯成为了对位防守者的噩梦。
“当你要防守一个像他这样速度快、持球能力又如此充满活力的球员时，他几乎是防不胜防的，”马刺队教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 说道。“而当你对他进行包夹时，又会为他的队友创造出机会。因此，他能在三个层级上展开进攻，不仅对他个人至关重要，对我们全队的启动也同样关键。”
在效力于萨克拉门托国王队的前八个赛季里，缺少稳定的三分投射能力是福克斯在进攻端唯一的短板，尽管如此，他仍被认为是联盟中最顶尖的得分手之一。
他职业生涯的三分命中率为33.2%。在2022-23赛季，福克斯唯一一次入选全明星，而那个赛季他的三分命中率仅为32.4%。在2019-20赛季和2021-22赛季，福克斯的三分命中率甚至不足30%。
而在过去10场比赛中，福克斯的三分球手感一直滚烫。
在此期间，他三分球67投28中，命中率高达41.8%。
哈里森·巴恩斯 (Harrison Barnes) 曾在萨克拉门托与福克斯并肩作战了五个半赛季，如今又在马刺再度联手，他对队友在三分球方面的进步赞不绝口。
“他在转换进攻中的威力，以及他撕裂防线的能力，这些都不是秘密，”巴恩斯说。“各支球队都必须重兵布防来阻止他。现在，他又增加了一个新的进攻维度，能够以高效的命中率投射三分，这让他变得更加难以防守了。”
福克斯很期待看到当对手的防守开始更加忌惮他的三分球时，场上会发生什么变化。
那应该会为他风驰电掣般的突破重新打开通往禁区的道路。
“如果这能让防守者哪怕上前紧逼半步，只要他们稍微上当，你就可以突向篮筐了，”福克斯说。“到了那个时候，你要做的就是做出正确的决策。”
福克斯表示，关键在于要随时准备好命中防守给你的任何出手机会。
就目前而言，这些机会中很多可能仍将来自三分线外。
如果真是这样，福克斯会继续果断出手，迫使对手改写对他的防守策略。
“我的队友和教练都对我有信心，”福克斯说。“正因如此，他们才会在那种情况下，在有那种空间时把球交给我，而我所要做的就是上场执行我们训练的内容。”
科内特再度伤停
在奥兰多送出制胜封盖的两天后，马刺队中锋卢克·科内特 (Luke Kornet) 因左脚踝酸痛被列入周五对阵克利夫兰骑士队的伤病名单。
这位身高7英尺1英寸的科内特本赛季早些时候曾因同一脚踝的扭伤以及肩部扭伤缺席了七场比赛。在过去的九场比赛中，科内特一直顶替因左小腿拉伤而休战的文班亚马出任首发。
目前他的状态是每日观察。

De’Aaron Fox’s 3-point shot could be a game-changer for Spurs
De’Aaron Fox #4 of the San Antonio Spurs reacts after scoring a three-pointer against Franz Wagner #22 of the Orlando Magic during the fourth quarter at Kia Center on December 03, 2025 in Orlando, Florida.
CLEVELAND — The book has long been out on De’Aaron Fox.
It was clear Orlando’s Franz Wagner had read it.
Faced with defending the speedy Spurs guard late in the fourth quarter Wednesday, the 6-foot-10 Wagner did exactly what he had been coached to do.
He backed up and gave Fox space. Not a lot of space, but enough for Fox to throw in a pair of step-back 3-pointers in the final 3:15 of a 114-112 Spurs victory at the Kia Center.
“If we’re going to play one-on-one, a lot of defenders in this league give me a step, knowing that I’m trying to get downhill,” Fox said.” If they give me the step, I have the confidence to step back, knowing that I have time and space to knock shots down.”
One of the fastest guards in the NBA, the 6-3 Fox has fashioned an All-Star career behind his ability to blow by defenders and get into the paint.
So far this season, he has been swishing away from 3-point range as well. Heading into Friday’s game at Cleveland, Fox was averaging 25 points, operating as the team’s go-to scorer with Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle sidelined.
He has been more than a layup and mid-range maven, though.
Fox has been using the extra step defenders are affording him to convert 3-pointers at a career-best clip, making 32 of 83 (38.6%) entering Friday.
That three-level scoring ability has made the 27-year-old Fox a matchup terror for opposing defenses.
“When you have to cover ground with someone with his speed and dynamic ability with the basketball in his hands, he’s almost unguardable,” Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said. “Then when you bring a crowd to him, it opens up things for his teammates. So him playing at all three levels is extremely important not only for himself, but for our team to get going.”
Through his first eight seasons in Sacramento, a lack of a reliable 3-point shot was the only offensive knock on Fox, who otherwise was billed as one of the league’s best scorers.
He boasts a career mark of 33.2%. In 2022-23, Fox made his lone All-Star team while hitting at a 32.4% rate. In two separate seasons — 2019-20 and 2021-22 — Fox shot less than 30% from beyond the 3-point stripe.
Over the past 10 games, Fox has been on absolute fire from 3-point range.
He has connected on 28 of 67 3-point attempts in that span, good for a 41.8% success rate.
Harrison Barnes, who played 5½ seasons alongside Fox in Sacramento before rejoining forces with the Spurs, likes what he’s seen from his teammate’s 3-point improvement.
“It’s no secret what he can do in transition, how he collapses the defense,” Barnes said. “Teams have to load up to stop him. Adding another dimension and being able to shoot it at a high and efficient clip makes him that much more difficult to guard.”
Fox is eager to see what happens when opposing defense begin to give more thought to guarding his 3-point shot.
That should re-open the paint to his speedy drives.
“If it makes the defender take even half a step up, if they bite just a little bit, (you can) get downhill,” Fox said. “At that point, it’s just make the right play.”
The key, Fox said, is to be willing to knock down whatever shot a defense will give him.
For now, many of those are still likely to come from 3-point range.
If that is the case, Fox will keep firing away and force opponents to re-write the book on him.
“My teammates have confidence in me and my coaches have confidence in me,” Fox said. “That’s why they give me the ball in those types of situations, with that type of spacing, and I go out there and just try to execute what we work on.”
Kornet back on the shelf
Two nights after making the game-saving block in Orlando, Spurs center Luke Kornet was listed as out Friday in Cleveland with left ankle soreness.
The 7-1 Kornet missed seven games earlier this season with a sprain to the same ankle, as well as a shoulder sprain. Kornet had started the previous nine games in place of Wembanyama, who is sidelined with a left calf strain.
He is considered day-to-day.
