欢迎来到《一周回顾》：这是一档于每周一推出的栏目，回顾 *圣安东尼奥马刺 *的过往一周，展望未来赛程，并带来更多内容。敬请欣赏！
第六周: 尽管维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 和斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 依然缺阵，但德文·瓦塞尔 (Devin Vassell) 和德阿龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 发挥出色，马刺队在两场客场胜利中展现了阵容深度，成功锁定了季中锦标赛的一席之地。这其中包括在波特兰鏖战险胜，以及在丹佛主场爆冷击败尼古拉·约基奇 (Nikola Jokic) 领衔的掘金队。
第七周：2胜1负 (总战绩15胜7负，西部第五)
126-119 胜 孟菲斯灰熊
比赛回顾: 在两次四连客之旅的夹缝中，马刺迎来了唯一一个主场比赛。他们以与本赛季首次交手时同样的方式战胜了灰熊队：双方你来我往，交替领先，最终凭借第四节的一波攻势，以及哈里森·巴恩斯 (Harrison Barnes) 创马刺生涯新高的31分，击败了这支昔日的苦主球队。
114-112 胜 奥兰多魔术
比赛回顾: 尽管马刺队在体能上处于严重劣势——他们前一晚刚打完比赛，凌晨四点才抵达奥兰多（更不用说，在面对联盟顶级内线得分强队之一时，他们还缺少了联盟最强的护筐手）——但球队在对阵魔术的比赛中开局强势，并在最后时刻惊险地保住了胜果。福克斯命中了一些关键投篮，但也出现了致命失误；索汉错失了本可以锁定胜局的罚球；巴恩斯的一次糟糕犯规给了魔术扳平比分的机会。但马刺最终还是挺了过来，福克斯罚球制胜，而卢克·科内特 (Luke Kornet) 则在最后时刻对弗朗茨·瓦格纳 (Franz Wagner) 送出制胜封盖。
117-130 负 克利夫兰骑士
比赛回顾: 在奥兰多艰难取胜后，近期的疲劳赛程似乎终于在克利夫兰拖垮了马刺。随着科内特因脚踝酸痛（本赛季早些时候他曾因此缺阵）被列入伤病名单，马刺在面对身材高大的骑士队时没有任何护筐手。尽管上半场表现不错，但他们在第三节打出了灾难性的表现，单节以19-44被对手碾压。主教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 将此归咎于精神疲劳。
实力榜
约翰·舒曼 (John Schuhmann), NBA.com — 第9位 (上周：第8位)
文班亚马现已连续缺席10场比赛，而在他和斯蒂芬·卡斯尔（已连续缺席9场）双双缺阵的情况下，马刺队仍然顽强地取得了7胜3负的战绩。他们近期的赛程十分艰难，过去七场比赛中有六场是客场，过去八场比赛中有六场的对手是目前胜率超过五成的球队。
三大看点
卢克·科内特顶替文班亚马首发，并在周三对阵奥兰多的比赛中，通过在终场前封盖弗朗茨·瓦格纳保住了胜果。当科内特在篮下防守时，对手的命中率为37投87中（42.5%），这一护筐表现在所有至少防守过50次篮下投篮的145名球员中高居榜首。但在周五马刺输给克利夫兰的比赛中，他因伤缺阵，导致骑士在合理冲撞区内狂砍62分，比他们本赛季任何其他比赛的得分都至少多出14分。
战胜奥兰多后，马刺队在比赛最后五分钟分差在五分以内的比赛中，战绩来到了10胜3负（目前已取得四连胜），并且拥有联盟第二的关键时刻进攻效率。在周二对阵孟菲斯的比赛中，德阿龙·福克斯包办了球队最后11分，而在此之前，他先是为凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson) 创造了一次底角三分机会，助其命中投篮帮助马刺取得领先。
在文班亚马缺阵期间，马刺队在攻防两端的篮板球表现都受到了影响。在他缺席的比赛中，球队的总篮板率（48.2%）排名联盟第24位，而此前在他出战的12场比赛中，这一数据（53.4%）则高居联盟第四。
未来赛程： 马刺队将于周一在客场挑战新奥尔良，完成他们NBA杯开赛前的最后一场比赛，两天后他们将飞往洛杉矶参加NBA杯四分之一决赛。他们本赛季三场关键时刻的失利之一，就发生在十一月初的Crypto.com球馆。
劳·穆雷 (Law Murray), The Athletic — 第9位 (上周：第7位)
第一阶段评级：B+
这是圣安东尼奥九年来最好的开季20场比赛战绩，而且这还是在中锋维克托·文班亚马因小腿伤势仅出战12场的情况下取得的。尽管文班亚马、德阿龙·福克斯、斯蒂芬·卡斯尔和迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 至今尚未同时出场过，马刺队的投篮命中率依然排在联盟前十。自文班亚马或斯蒂芬·卡斯尔上次出场以来，福克斯场均得到26.7分。
布雷特·西格尔 (Brett Siegel), Clutch Points — 第8位 (上周：第7位)
自从维克托·文班亚马遭遇小腿伤病以来，圣安东尼奥马刺队在过去10场比赛中赢下了7场，目前他们距离西部第四的火箭队仅差半个胜场。
德文·瓦塞尔近来手感火热，在过去六场比赛中有四场得分超过20分，并且在球队最近战绩出色的10场比赛中，他的三分命中率高达45.1%。在文班缺阵的同时，瓦塞尔也很好地填补了斯蒂芬·卡斯尔的空缺，后者因髋屈肌受伤已连续缺席九场比赛。
德阿龙·福克斯已成为马刺在文班亚马缺阵期间全新进攻体系的催化剂，他在过去10场比赛中有9场得分至少达到25分。巧合的是，他唯一一场仅得15分的比赛，正是马刺以139-136客场战胜掘金，从而赢得NBA杯西部C组头名的那场比赛。
未来赛程： 12月8日周一 客场对阵新奥尔良鹈鹕；12月10日周三 客场对阵洛杉矶湖人 *；待定
* 季中锦标赛四分之一决赛
* 如果马刺击败湖人，他们将在12月13日进入半决赛，对阵雷霆与太阳之间的胜者。如果失利，他们将在12月14日或15日与雷霆和太阳之间的败者进行一场排位赛。
预测战绩：2胜1负 — 在不清楚本周其中一个对手以及维克托·文班亚马状态的情况下，很难做出准确预测。文班亚马已经归队并恢复训练，但今晚不会出战。马刺队最早可能在今晚迎回斯蒂芬·卡斯尔，面对实力不济的鹈鹕队，他们应该能拿下一场胜利。除此之外，无论文班是否出战，要在洛杉矶客场击败湖人——尤其是在这场比赛的意义远超一场常规赛的情况下——都将是一项艰巨的任务。同样，面对见谁灭谁的雷霆队，或是本赛季已两度击败马刺的太阳队，挑战也同样巨大。从目前来看，预测2胜1负可能有些冒险，但马刺近期的表现一直带给我们惊喜，而且那两支潜在的对手也都有核心球员遭遇伤病困扰。（如果他们输给湖人，并且打周一的排位赛，那么战绩理论上也可能是1胜1负。）

Week in Review: Spurs continue to thrive in the clutch despite tiring schedule
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 6: Despite still missing Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle, Devin Vassell and De’Aaron Fox shined while the Spurs showed off their depth in couple road wins to secure a spot in the In-Season Tournament, which included gutting out a clutch win in Portland and upsetting Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets in their own house.
Week 7: 2-1 (15-7, 5th in West)
126-119 win vs. Memphis Grizzlies
Recap: In their lone home game sandwiched between two four-game road trips, the Spurs won their second home game of the season against the Grizzlies in the same way they did the first: by exchanging blows and leads before using a big fourth quarter run and Spurs career-high of 31 points from Harrison Barnes to outlast a former thorn-in-their-side team.
114-112 win at Orlando Magic
Recap: Despite being at a severe rest disadvantage, having played the night before and arrived at Orlando at 4 in the morning (not to mention missing the league’s best paint defender against the on of the league’s best paint scoring teams), the Spurs started strong against the Magic before dramatically holding on down the stretch for the win. Fox hit some big shots but also committed key turnovers, Sochan missed potential game-sealing free throws, and Barnes gave the Magic a chance to tie things up with a bad foul, but ultimately they pulled through in the end, with Fox hitting the winning free throws and Luke Kornet providing the game-winning block on Franz Wagner.
117-130 loss at Cleveland Cavaliers
Recap: After having enough energy to survive in Orlando, the recent schedule looked like it finally caught up with the Spurs in Cleveland. With Luke Kornet added to the injury list to nurse a sore ankle that held him out earlier in the season, the Spurs had no rim protectors against a lengthy Cavs squad, and despite a good first half, they delivered a turd quarter performance where they were outscored 44-19, which Mitch Johnson chalked up to mental fatigue.
Power Rankings
John Schuhmann, NBA.com — 9 (last week: 8)
Victor Wembanyama has now missed the last 10 games, and the Spurs continue to survive (7-3) without both him and Stephon Castle (who’s missed the last nine games). It has been a tough schedule of late, with six of the Spurs’ last seven games on the road and six of the last eight against teams currently over .500.
Three takeaways
Luke Kornet has started in Wembanyama’s place and preserved the Spurs’ win in Orlando on Wednesday by blocking Franz Wagner at the buzzer. Opponents have shot 37-for-87 (42.5%) at the rim when Kornet has been there, the best rim protection mark among 145 players who’ve defended at least 50 shots at the rim. But he missed the Spurs’ loss in Cleveland on Friday, when the Cavs scored 62 points in the restricted area, 14 more than they’ve scored in any other game.
With the win in Orlando, the Spurs are 10-3 (with four straight wins) in games that were within five points in the last five minutes and have the league’s second-ranked clutch offense. De’Aaron Fox scored their last 11 points against Memphis on Tuesday after first creating the corner 3-pointer that Keldon Johnson drained to put the Spurs ahead with a little more than three minutes to go.
The Spurs have suffered on the glass (on both ends of the floor) without Wembanyama. They rank 24th in total rebounding percentage (48.2%) over his absence, down from fourth (53.4%) over the 12 games that he was in uniform.
Coming up: The Spurs will finish their pre-Cup schedule in New Orleans on Monday before flying to L.A. for the NBA Cup quarterfinals two nights later. One of their three clutch losses came at Crypto.com Arena in early November.
Law Murray, The Athletic — 9 (last week: 7)
First-quarter grade: B+
This is San Antonio’s best 20-game start in nine years, and that’s with center Victor Wembanyama limited to only 12 games due to a calf injury. The Spurs are top 10 in field goal percentage even though Wembanyama, De’Aaron Fox, Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper have yet to be available for the same game. Fox is averaging 26.7 points since the last time Wembanyama or Castle has played.
Brett Siegel, Clutch Points — 8 (last week: 7)
The San Antonio Spurs have now won seven of their last 10 games since Victor Wembanyama suffered his calf injury, and they are just a half-game behind the Rockets for fourth place in the West.
Devin Vassell has been on a heater as of late for the Spurs, scoring over 20 points in four of his last six games and shooting 45.1 percent from 3-point range during the team’s successful 10-game stretch. Along with Wemby being out, Vassell has stepped up in the absence of Stephon Castle, who has missed nine straight games with a hip flexor injury.
De’Aaron Fox has been the catalyst for the Spurs’ new-look offense without Wembanyama, as he has scored at least 25 points in nine of the Spurs’ last 10 games. Coincidentally enough, the game he only scored 15 points ended up being the 139-136 road win over the Nuggets that won the Spurs West Group C in the NBA Cup.
Coming up: Mon. 12/8 at New Orleans Pelicans; Wed. 12/10 at Los Angeles Lakers *; TBD**
* In-season Tournament Quarterfinals
** If the Spurs beat the Lakers, they will play in the semi-finals against the winner of Thunder vs. Suns on Dec. 13. If they lose, they will play the loser of Thunder vs. Suns in a consolation game on either Dec. 14 or 15.
Prediction: 2-1 — It’s hard to make an accurate prediction when we don’t know one of the opponents this week or the state of Victor Wembanyama, who has joined the team and returned to practice but won’t play tonight. The Spurs may get Stephon Castle back as soon as tonight, which should be a win against the woeful Pelicans. Beyond that, beating the Lakers in their house with more than just a regular season win on the line may be a tall task with or without Wemby, same with the Thunder (who are beating everybody) and Suns (who have had the Spurs’ number in two match-ups this season). At this point, 2-1 may feel a little risky, but the Spurs have been surprising us lately, plus both those teams have some injury issues to key players of their own. (It could technically also be 1-1 if they lose to the Lakers and get the Monday consolation game.)
