当人们在工作中让观察者和评估者失望时，他们很自然地会想要超越自我。NBA 球队也是如此，当遭遇挫败后，他们通常会火力全开，强势反弹。
圣安东尼奥马刺队在周三得到了一个纠正错误的机会。
相似的战绩并不总意味着对手处于同一档次。然而，在体育界，检验他们是否是真材实料的通用方法，就是让两支顶级球队正面对决。就洛杉矶湖人队而言，他们缺少了勒布朗·詹姆斯 (LeBron James) 和奥斯汀·里夫斯 (Austin Reaves)，这是他们队内第二和第三出色的突破手，这严重削弱了他们的实力。然而，NBA 中存在一种现象，即人员不整的球队有时会爆冷击败更强的队伍，部分原因是他们被对手轻视了。这样的比赛结果恰恰表明了马刺队为抓住机会做了多么充分的准备。
在 NBA 赢球绝非易事，而马刺队不断证明，即使事情没有按照比赛计划进行，他们也能搞定比赛。他们克服了三分投射和进攻篮板的不足，而且在前三节比赛中处理球也相当草率。可以说，无论通过何种方式最终取胜的能力，是他们今年成长最快的方面。
此外，马刺队如今拥有划时代的球员维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama)；而在另一边，卢卡·东契奇 (Luka Dončić) 也在独行侠队大放异彩。他们之间的对决将在很长一段时间内成为必看的焦点。周三的比赛也不例外，场上的巨星们都闪耀着光芒，尽管比赛大部分时间里呈现一边倒的态势。
### 几点观察
- 这是马刺队的一场重大胜利，因为在周三的比赛前，他们与对手在前两次交锋中平分秋色。考虑到他们可能是季后赛的对手，或者在赛季末争夺相同的排名，这场胜利让他们在打破平局关系上领先了一场。如果他们真的在季后赛相遇，那将会是无比美妙的对决——因为两队的历史渊源、令人难以置信的球星号召力，以及双方都有充分的理由相信自己的当家球星是联盟未来的门面。
- 当然，东契奇（Don Luka）确实是顶级货色，但永远不要忘记帕特·莱利 (Pat Riley) 多年前曾大胆宣称，“手枪”皮特·马拉维奇 (Pistol Pete Maravich) 是有史以来最被高估的超级巨星，因为他不防守。尽管卢卡·东契奇是联盟中的重量级球星之一，但关于他防守的批评并非毫无根据。事实上，他如此懒散的防守态度，在某种程度上削弱了他非凡的个人表现。很难想象，当一个人在进攻端享受所有乐趣，却不参与防守端的脏活累活时，他的一些队友不会对此感到厌倦。
- 教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 表示，文班亚马的出场时间已接近上限，并且短期内不会打满40分钟。对于是否会逐步增加他的出场时间，约翰逊教练也未置可否，因为他想观察文班亚马的身体反应。这可能会让那些希望看到限制措施放宽的观察者感到沮丧，尤其是在看到文班亚马状态如此出色之后，但约翰逊教练做出了正确的决定。他让我想起了一位拳击教练，在摘掉训练辅助轮、让选手参加12回合的正式比赛前，会小心翼翼地安排他的新秀以更短的间隔参加比赛，循序渐进。
- 看到文班以替补身份出战是一种享受，而当被问及此事时，他听起来真诚又冷静的态度，让我深刻地认识到他是一个怎样的赢家。他是一个超级武器，以援军的角色被使用让我想起了凯文·麦克海尔 (Kevin McHale) 在其职业生涯大部分时间里作为替补是多么具有毁灭性的武器。他曾连续两年领跑联盟投篮命中率（虽然不是作为替补），这看起来像是文班亚马未来也能做到的事情。
- 湖人队此役之前场均让对手获得18.8次空位三分机会，但马刺队未能通过他们流畅的球和人转移来充分利用这些空档。甚至没有一名首发球员命中一记三分球，但他们没有让投篮失手影响到他们的防守活力。这让比赛变得艰难，但马刺队通过在周三打出赛季最佳的防守效率（89.2）进行了反击。他们需要这样的努力，因为他们不仅三分线外受限，二次进攻得分也只有6分，创下了赛季第二差的记录。
- 正如电视剧《火线》(The Wire) 中的斯金格·贝尔 (Stringer Bell) 曾说过的，“把话放出去”——凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson) 竞选年度最佳第六人的宣传攻势已全速启动。约翰逊的场均得分可能稍低一些（13.5分），但他的效率远超其他候选人，除了身为大个子的戈加·比塔泽 (Goga Bitadze)。他已成为马刺崛起的过程中不可或缺的一环。最重要的是，约翰逊本赛季替补出场的总得分（501分）排名第三，仅次于小海梅·哈克斯 (Jaime Jaquez Jr.)（536分）和纳兹·里德 (Naz Reid)（529分）。

> # What we learned from the Spurs win vs. the Lakers
>
> 
>
> It’s natural for people to want to outdo themselves when they’ve disappointed observers and evaluators at work. NBA teams are the same and usually come out guns blazing when they have been humbled.
>
> The San Antonio Spurs got their turn to right that wrong on Wednesday.
>
> Similar records don’t always mean rivals are in the same class. Yet, universally in sports, the way to reveal if they are for real is to have two of the top go head-to-head. In the Los Angeles Lakers’ case, they were without LeBron James and Austin Reaves, their second and third-best penetrators, severely weakening them. Yet there’s this NBA phenomenon in which the undermanned team upsets the superior unit, in part because they were slept on. These outings indicate how prepared the Spurs are to take advantage of a situation.
>
> Winning is hard in the NBA, and they keep showing they can do it when things don’t go according to the game plan. It took working around a lack of 3-point shooting and offensive rebounding, plus they were sloppy with the ball for three quarters. Getting it done by any means is arguably the area where they’ve grown the most this year.
>
> Additionally, now that they have a generational player in Victor Wembanyama and the Lakers have Luka Dončić, matchups between them will be appointment viewing for a long time. It was no different on Wednesday as both flashed greatness, in spite of the game being mostly one-sided.
>
> ### Takeaways
>
> - This was a big win for the Spurs considering they had split the first two matchups before entering Wednesday’s game. Considering they could be playoff opponents or possibly vying for the same seed by the end of the year, it puts them one game closer to owning the tie-breaker. It would be so sweet if they do match up because of history, incredible star power, and each side having a solid case for their best player being the future face of the league.
> - Of course, Don Luka is the goods, but never forget how Pat Riley boldly said many years ago that Pistol Pete Maravich was the most overrated superstar ever because he didn’t play defense. As much as Dončić is one of the league’s heavyweight stars, criticisms about his defense are not unwarranted. In fact, being such a lazy defender waters down how remarkable he is a bit. It’s hard to imagine it doesn’t get old with some teammates that one guy has all the fun with the ball and doesn’t participate in the heavy lifting on the other side.
> - Coach Mitch Johnson said Wembanyama was near his cap in minutes and that he won’t be playing 40 any time soon. He was also noncommittal about incrementally raising them because he wants to see how Wembanyama’s body reacts. This might frustrate observers who wish to see precautions eased after seeing how good he looks, yet Johnson is making the right call. He reminds me of a boxing trainer carefully maneuvering his prospect into fights with fewer intervals before taking the training wheels off and letting them go into a 12-rounder.
> - It’s a treat to see Wemby off the bench, and him sounding sincerely cool about it when asked tells me a lot about the winner he is. He’s a super weapon, and being used in the reinforcements role reminds me of how much of a devastating weapon Kevin McHale was as a reserve for most of his career. He led the league in field goal percentage in consecutive years (not as a reserve), which seems like something Wembanyama could do down the line.
> - The Lakers came into the game allowing 18.8 wide-open 3-pointers, but the Spurs could not capitalize on all of those openings with their ball and body movement. Not even one starter made a trey, yet they didn’t let the misses piling up affect their vigor to defend. That made things tough, but the Spurs countered it by logging their best defensive rating of the season on Wednesday (89.2). They needed that type of effort because they weren’t just limited from three, but also in second-chance scoring to their second-worst night of the year with just 6 points.
> - As Stringer Bell once said on _The Wire_, “Put the word out there” that the Keldon Johnson Sixth Man of the Year hype train is at full speed ahead. Johnson’s scoring average could be a bit higher (13.5), but he is blowing away the other options in efficiency, except Goga Bitadze, who is a big man. He has been an indispensable part of the Spurs’ rise. On top of that, Johnson is third in total points (501) scored off the bench this season behind Jaime Jaquez Jr. (536) and Naz Reid (529).

# 热评：
> [@MinchMaster](#):
>
> 我的观后感：
>
> - KJ是这支球队的核心与灵魂。我从来不希望他走，很高兴他还在队里。此外，他的出手选择和努力程度似乎真的成熟了很多。他好像终于弄清楚了自己的优缺点，这点从他的效率上就能看出来。他正在打出职业生涯最高效的一个赛季。
> - 尽管福克斯的表现令人沮丧，但我认为由他来组织进攻要比由斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 来组织更好。
> - 索汉是不可或缺的，即便他在进攻端是个短板。他似乎正在慢慢地重拾信心。他的防守和韧性正是我们一度缺失的东西。希望我们能用一份廉价的长期合同留下他，买断他的拼抢精神和防守。
> - 我很高兴米奇教练调整了对文班的使用方式，并让他在场上打完了比赛；我理解时间限制那部分，但我们在关键时刻需要文班，因为他能吸引大量的防守注意力。
> - 卡特·布莱恩特 (Carter Bryant) 可能会从打G联赛中受益。虽然我仍然认为他能在这支球队中找到一席之地，但他还是太稚嫩了。在本赛季这个阶段，即便是打垃圾时间和零星的替补时间，DJG可能都比他更好用。
> - 我们可能真的需要找到一个稳定的三分射手。我们三个主要后卫都不是好的三分射手（福克斯充其量略高于平均水平）。
> - 我希望巴恩斯的上场时间能少一些，尤其是在他投篮不准的时候。没有理由让他打20多分钟甚至30分钟出头。他的时间可以限制在十几分钟到二十出头。
> [@I Hate Sports](#):
>
> 我们学到的是，马刺的三分还是投不进。
> [@CanadianHeatFan](#):
>
> 那场球打得真难看。我只是实话实说，虽然我知道马刺赢了。长期困扰这支球队的问题昨晚依然存在。文班和队友之间的化学反应仍需磨合。我看到三位明星后卫都表现出糟糕的肢体语言，而且当对手做出调整时，他们也不愿意调整自己的打法。还有一些其他问题。所有这些都发生在我们仍在赢球的情况下。
>
> 我希望看到文班能向凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson) 学习，只选择高命中率的出手，主要基于卡位和及时的空切。文班对高难度动作上了瘾，当他做出一些不可思议的动作时，那是他的最爱。
>
> 我希望看到马刺采用第二种进攻风格，以补充他们目前这种“后卫群冲击篮筐”的模式。他们需要时不时地变变招。而那些年轻的后卫们需要积累经验，学会不仅仅依靠他们天生的突破能力。
>
> 索汉加油！
> 我想看到精彩的篮球。我不确定当他们开始打出“精彩篮球”时，有谁能击败这支球队。

> > > 湖人队在天赋满满的西部可是排名前四的。他们不是一支烂队。即使没有勒布朗 (LeBron) 和奥斯汀·里夫斯 (Austin Reaves)，他们也相当不错，就因为他们能得很多分，卢卡 (Luka) 能站上罚球线，还能投进各种神仙球。

> > >
> > > 我觉得马刺没问题。虽然经历了一段艰难时期，但他们符合我的预期。这支球队今年不会赢60多场比赛，但如果他们能拿到52-56胜的战绩并赢下一轮系列赛，那他们就完全在正轨上。

> > “高难度动作”这个说法真的让我深有同感。我一直在等（等啊，等啊，等啊）文班停止扔那些失去平衡、角度诡异的投篮。他每场比赛都有好几次出手糟糕到应该算作失误，而他本可以只花大约半秒钟来调整好自己的重心和身体，从而完成一次平衡的、控制良好的、命中率更高的投篮。“他还在试验”这种借口已经站不住脚了；糟糕的出手选择永远不会是个好主意，而且到了这个阶段，他已经有足够多的试验证据来证明，这些出手正在伤害球队和他自己的数据。

> > 我喜欢杰里米坦然接受的态度。他是个好孩子。希望他能长期留在这里。
> [@Fkj](#):
>
> 总结得不错……
>
> 我的浅见：
>
> 1. 我们中的一些人早已相信……索汉是一个赢球型球员。他不是数据分析的宠儿，不是数据刷子，也不是一块容易适配的拼图。他是一个像我们自己的布鲁斯·鲍文 (Bruce Bowen)，或者像约什·哈特 (Josh Hart)、狄龙·布鲁克斯 (Dillon Brooks)，甚至是一个轻量版追梦 (Draymond) 那样的球员……所有这些人都在进攻不稳定的情况下带来了强硬。所有优秀的球队都需要这样一个人。幸运的是，我们已经拥有他了。
>
> 2. 我们可以在投篮不佳的情况下，通过防守赢得比赛。这就是我们的招牌——高强度的、贴脸的、由文班镇守篮下的防守。手感时好时坏，但防守永远都在。
>
> 3. 当对手放我们投篮、收缩内线时，我们所有的后卫都打得很挣扎。对策是，更多的球员移动和更快的节奏。也可以让DJG和沃特斯 (Waters) 多打一会儿。
>
> 4. 超爱这些嘉年华配色和球衣。湖人的金色在场上显得格外亮眼。从电影般的视角来看，这场比赛很美。像《阿凡达》一样。
>
> 5. 享受在赛季近半时位居西部第二的感觉。已经很久没有过了……接下来会有一段艰难的赛程。
> [@WembyForMayor](#):
>
> KJ今年不仅完成了球队要求他做的一切——甚至做得更多，而且他做这些的时候看起来棒极了。他是球队成功的巨大组成部分，一个全能的帕蒂 (Patty) 式的球员。我当初很讨厌看到帕蒂离开，希望KJ能在马刺退役。在我们选中他的那届选秀中，我们另一个签位可能选错了人，但选中他绝对是选对了。
> [@GaryWayne](#):
>
> 事到如今，我不确定还有谁能面不改色地说马刺没有投射问题。这是赛季开始前最大的担忧，现在依然是最大的担忧。
>
> 巴恩斯 (Barnes) 和福克斯 (Fox) 正深陷于糟糕的投篮低迷期。尚帕尼 (Champs) 似乎是打一场手感火热的比赛，接着就是一场糟糕的比赛。拥有我们这些顶级的突分好手，我们的射手们必须要把球投进。瓦塞尔 (Vassell) 的回归应该会有所帮助。
>
> 优秀的球队/球员是稳定的。这不意味着他们每晚都必须表现出色，但不能总是状态起伏不定。显然，这部分原因在于哈珀 (Harper)、斯蒂芬·卡斯尔，甚至文班都缺乏必要的经验，并且还远未达到他们的巅峰期。很可能这支球队还没准备好，但我们早就料到了，不是吗？我们正好在雷霆队自己开始下滑的时候遇上了他们，同样重要的是，我们和他们对位很有优势。
>
> 顺便说一句，我们和雷霆队有相似之处。都是整体实力很强的球队，拥有一堆（不会投篮的）高于平均水平的球员围绕着一个巨星。
>
> 联盟中有好几支身经百战、经验丰富的季后赛球队（雷霆、掘金、凯尔特人、尼克斯），但没有一支被认为是无敌之师。
>
> 所以……如果文班保持健康，他可以带我们在季后赛走得很远。巨星赢得总冠军，而我们已经把宝押在了自己的巨星身上。
> [@spiceymeatball](#):
>
> KJ，毫无疑问是最佳第六人的头号人选。我们的秘密武器。
>
> 除了世界颠倒（索汉，我们昨晚的铁血三分射手）这种事，我们的进攻看起来很脱节，就像在外线投篮不进时在寻找自己的定位。而且米奇教练还没弄明白如何在（团队战术中）最大化文班在进攻端的作用。
> [@zhouprodigy](#):
>
> 祈祷绝对有用，凯尔登·约翰逊祈祷圈就是证明。只要有足够的耐心，信念终有回报。
> 如果最佳第六人的评选只考虑球员为球队带来的整体氛围和领导力，那羊驼男孩将是毫无悬念的赢家。即便不考虑这些，他也值得参与该奖项的讨论。
> [@storytellerdude50](#):
>
> 我们学到的是，现在是成为马刺球迷的好时机。尤其是在击败湖人队之后。
>
> （宿敌之争，永不落幕……就像《眼镜蛇》一样！）
> [@superattorney](#):
>
> 我仍然对卡特·布莱恩特在扣篮上遇到的麻烦感到困惑。我猜他只是没有正确地抓稳球。或许更多的是心理问题。不管怎样，PTR上有人说他的手很小，但选秀联合训练营的数据显示是8.5英寸，这对我来说听起来很正常。我完全搞不懂。以布莱恩特的身高和运动能力（他很能跳），他不应该在扣篮上有任何困难。

> > - KJ is the heart and soul of this team. I never wanted him gone and I am glad he is still with the team. In addition, he seems have really matured with his shot selections and his effort. He seems to have finally opened what he is good at and what he is bad at which is shown by his efficiency. He is having his most efficient season in his career.- As much as Fox is frustrating, I think him running the show is better than Castle running the show.
> > - Sochan is needed even with him being liability on offense. It seems like he is slowly gaining his confidence. His defense and tenacity was what we were missing for a while. Hopefully we can sign him for longer term for cheap price for his scrappiness and defense.
> > - I am glad Mitch adjusted the use of Wemby and finished with him; I understand the minute restriction part of it, but we need Wemby in critical time as he brings so much attention of defense.

Multiple times per game he takes shots that are so bad they should be counted as turnovers, when all he had to do was spend maybe half a second to gather his wits and limbs so he could take an on-balance, well-controlled, higher-percentage shot. The “he’s experimenting” excuse has worn thin; bad shots will never be a good idea, and at this point he has more than enough experimental evidence to conclude they’re hurting the team and his own stats.

I hated to see Patty go, and hope KJ retires a Spur. We may have whiffed on the other pick in his draft, but we sure nailed his.

> > Good teams/ players are consistent. Doesn’t mean they have to be good every night, but can’t be on and off on a consistent basis. Obviously some of this is due to Harper, Castle and even Wemby lacking the requisite experience and not being near their prime yet. Likely this team simply isn’t quite ready yet, but we suspected that already no? We caught OKC at the beginning of their own skid, and just as importantly we match up well with them.

Anyways, somebody on PTR said his hands were small, but the draft combine shows 8.5" which sounds normal to me. I’m just completely puzzled. Bryant should not be having any difficulty dunking the ball with his height & athleticism (he can jump).
