欢迎来到《一周回顾》：这是一个在周一推出的专题栏目，回顾 *圣安东尼奥马刺队 *过去一周的表现，展望未来一周的赛程，并带来更多内容。敬请欣赏！
第11周 ：马刺队在圣诞节的高光表现后继续回归平淡，他们失去了两名首发球员和进攻节奏。在这一周，他们先是在主场输给了骑士队和开拓者队，期间则战胜了尼克斯队（该场比赛朱利安·尚帕尼 (Julian Champagnie) 命中队史纪录的11记三分）和步行者队。
第12周：2胜2负（总战绩27-12，西部第2）
维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 回归赛场，尽管作为替补且上场时间有限，但表现出色。然而，马刺在大部分前三节比赛中都处于领先，最多时领先11分，却在第四节注意力涣散，发现自己不得不再次尝试追分。他们似乎一度有望逆转，德阿隆·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 打进一系列关键投篮，并送出一记惊人的追身封盖，帮助球队在比赛还剩不到两分钟时重新取得4分领先。但是，本周我们还会再次看到这种情况：他们在最后时刻既没能完成关键防守，也没能获得一次好的出手机会，最终在哨响时遗憾告负。
这可以说是马刺自圣诞节以来首次赢得如此轻松。他们终结了面对胜率低于五成球队时的两连败，而取胜的方式正是他们本赛季通常擅长的：对阵强队时表现更出色。马刺抓住了湖人队缺少奥斯汀·里夫斯 (Austin Reeves) 和勒布朗·詹姆斯 (LeBron James) 的机会，让湖人其他球员毫无作为，以至于卢卡·东契奇 (Luka Doncic) 典型的38分10篮板10助攻的数据也几乎无关紧要。此外，马刺整晚仅命中4记三分球（而且竟然是由凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson) 和杰里米·索汉 (Jeremy Sochan) 投进的），但球队的防守表现弥补了进攻端的不足。
尽管进攻端依旧迷失，马刺队还是来到了NBA状态最火热的球队之一的主场，并出人意料地偷走了一场胜利。他们再次倚仗了自己过去五场比赛中联盟最佳的防守。在经历了一个慢热的上半场后，马刺依靠文班在场的时间段打出进攻高潮，并且这一次他们在关键时刻攻防两端都执行到位，取得了领先并保持到了最后。（全场只让凯尔特人获得4次罚球机会也起到了作用，这让他们相当懊恼，也在情理之中。）
还记得我说过本周会再次看到负于灰熊队时的主题吗？就是这场比赛。马刺开局势不可挡，打出一波16-0的攻势，并在第三节一度领先多达19分，随后在第四节完全崩盘（这也重演了他们十一月在客场对阵森林狼的剧情）。森林狼队做出调整，让身体对抗更强的朱利叶斯·兰德尔 (Julius Randall) 去对位此前打爆鲁迪·戈贝尔 (Rudy Gobert) 的文班，这一变动让马刺的节奏彻底被打乱。在最后一分钟，双方交替得分，几次夺回领先优势，但马刺在两次拥有致胜一投的机会时都未能把握住，再次在终场哨响时输掉了比赛。
实力排行榜
约翰·舒曼 (John Schuhmann), NBA.com — 第4名（上周：第1名）
进攻效率: 116.6 (8) 防守效率: 111.2 (3) 净效率: +5.4 (5) 回合数: 101.0 (14)
自从圣诞节那周连续战胜雷霆队以来，马刺队的战绩仅为4胜5负，其中包括输给了爵士队、开拓者队和灰熊队。但他们在周六于波士顿取得了一场漂亮的胜利，并继续位居西部第二。
三大看点
在十二月底那两场对阵雷霆的胜利中，马刺每百回合得到129.3分，这是俄克拉荷马城本赛季防守最差的三场比赛中的两场。但自圣诞节以来，马刺的进攻效率仅排在联盟第28位（每百回合得分109.1分），轮换阵容中的多名球员都陷入了投篮挣扎。哈里森·巴恩斯 (Harrison Barnes) (37.7%)、斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) (36.3%) 和迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) (34.8%) 在圣诞节后至少出手65次的148名球员中，有效命中率分别排在第146、147和148位，德阿隆·福克斯 (44.8%) 也排在倒数12名之列。
但在上周击败湖人队和凯尔特人队的比赛中，马刺让两支当时排名前十的进攻强队合计每百回合仅得到93分。周六战胜凯尔特人队的比赛是波士顿本赛季唯一一次每回合得分低于1分。他们上一场比赛刚刚在内线得到赛季新高的62分，但在对阵圣安东尼奥时，他们在内线36投仅18中，并且只获得了4次罚球机会。福克斯贡献了当晚最关键的防守表现，在比赛最后一分钟马刺领先两分时，从杰伦·布朗 (Jaylen Brown) 手中完成了抢断。
在替补出战三场比赛后，文班亚马在周日重返首发阵容。那场比赛马刺以16-0的攻击波开局，在他上场的27分钟里，球队净胜森林狼队17分。但文班亚马在场下休息的时间段里，马刺打得非常艰难，他们挥霍了19分的领先优势，并在最后一次进攻中错失了两次绝杀机会。目前为止，文班亚马在场时，马刺每百回合净胜对手13.1分（净效率+13.6），而他不在场时则为（净效率+0.5）。
未来展望： 马刺将以再次对阵卫冕冠军的方式，结束他们艰难的三连客之旅。在双方前三次交锋中，文班亚马总共出战的70分钟里，马刺净胜雷霆队47分（每百回合净胜32.6分）。
布雷特·西格尔 (Brett Siegel), Clutch Points — 第1名（上周：第2名）
看来圣安东尼奥马刺队将自2019年以来首次重返季后赛。尽管这支由一年级主教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 带领的年轻队伍已经超出了预期，特别是考虑到他们三次战胜俄克拉荷马城雷霆队的战绩，但马刺队目前还不会全力以赴将自己打造成一支争冠级别的球队。
相反，圣安东尼奥将继续通过选秀和球员培养来有机地构建阵容。马刺在今年的交易截止日没有做出交易的压力，如果他们真的有所行动，那将是令人惊讶的。哈里森·巴恩斯和凯利·奥利尼克 (Kelly Olynyk) 是球队重视的两名老将，而关于杰里米·索汉的交易可能性，球队内部也存在一定的抵触情绪。
索汉正处于新秀合同的最后一年，并且似乎已经掉出了常规轮换阵容，但他仍然被看作是替补席上的理性声音和为球队注入强硬精神的人物。期待马刺在西部季后赛的版图中继续保持上升势头。
未来赛程 ：1月13日（周二）客场对阵俄克拉荷马城雷霆队（33-7）；1月15日（周四）主场对阵密尔沃基雄鹿队（17-22）；1月17日（周六）主场对阵明尼苏达森林狼队（26-14）
预测：3胜0负 —— 我本想预测2胜1负（这又是一段艰难的赛程，而且我对一个月内第四次战胜雷霆持怀疑态度），但我内心的乐观主义者占了上风。随着德文·瓦塞尔 (Devin Vassell) 可能复出（他在周日比赛前被列为出战成疑），马刺有很大机会全员出战。坦白说，雷霆在过去几周的表现并不比马刺好。然后，他们终于迎来连续的主场比赛，尽管对手并不好对付——雄鹿队迎回了扬尼斯·阿德托昆博 (Giannis Antetokounmpo)，而森林狼队也证明了他们能给马刺制造麻烦——但马刺终究要摆脱进攻端的低迷状态，还有比现在更好的时机吗？如果他们能在保持令人窒息的防守的同时，在进攻端找回状态，那么，全世界都将为之侧目。

Week in Review: Defense soars, offense sputters in week of mixed results for Spurs
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 11: The Spurs lost two starters to injury and their offensive rhythm as they continued to come back down to earth from their Christmas high, splitting the week with losses at home to the Cavs and Trail Blazers sandwiched around a wins over the Knicks (featuring a franchise-record 11 threes from Julian Champagnie) and Pacers.
Week 12: 2-2 (27-12, 2nd in West)
105-106 loss at Memphis Grizzlies
Victor Wembanyama returned and looked great despite coming off the bench in limited minutes, but after leading for most of the first three quarters by as much as 11, the Spurs lost focus in the fourth and found themselves having to make another comeback attempt. It looked like they might pull it off, with De’Aaron Fox making a series of clutch shots and an impressive chase-down block to get back ahead by 4 with under two minutes left, but in a trend we’ll see again this week, they couldn’t get enough stops or get a good shot off to lose at the buzzer.
107-91 win vs. Los Angeles Lakers
In arguably their first comfortable win since Christmas, the Spurs ended their two game skid against sub-.500 teams by doing something they’ve usually done well this season: play up to winning teams. The Spurs took advantage of the Lakers missing Austin Reeves and LeBron James, rendering everyone else useless to the point that a typical 38-10-10 line from Luka Doncic hardly mattered. The defense also helped make up for the fact that the Spurs only hitting a total of 4 threes on the night (from Keldon Johnson and Jeremy Sochan, of all people).
Although their offense remained M.I.A., the Spurs went to the home of one of the hottest teams in the NBA and stole an improbable win by once again leaning on their defense, which has been the best in the league over the last five games. After a slow first half, the Spurs leaned on the Wemby minutes to make their runs, and this time they executed on both ends in the clutch to get ahead and stay there. (Holding the Celtics to just 4 free throw attempts, much to their understandable chagrin, didn’t hurt either.)
103-104 loss at Minnesota Timberwolves
Remember where I said we’d see the theme of the Grizzlies loss again this week? This was it, as the Spurs dominated early, starting on a 16-0 run and leading by as much as 19 in third quarter before completely falling apart in the fourth (also a repeat of their November match-up up north). The Wolves made the adjustment of putting the more physical Julius Randall on Wemby, who had been cooking Rudy Gobert, and that threw them completely out of whack. Both teams traded blows to retake the lead a couple of times in the final minute, but the Spurs couldn’t capitalize on two game-winning attempts for another loss at the buzzer.
Power Rankings
John Schuhmann, NBA.com — 4 (last week: 1)
OffRtg: 116.6 (8) DefRtg: 111.2 (3) NetRtg: +5.4 (5) Pace: 101.0 (14)
The Spurs are just 4-5 since their consecutive wins over the Thunder the week of Christmas, a stretch that includes losses to the Jazz, Blazers and Grizzlies. But they got a good win in Boston on Saturday and remain in second place in the West.
Three takeaways
The Spurs scored 129.3 points per 100 possessions over those two late-December wins over the Thunder, two of Oklahoma City’s three worst defensive games of the season. But the Spurs rank 28th offensively (109.1 points scored per 100) since Christmas, with shooting struggles from multiple guys in their rotation. Harrison Barnes (37.7%), Stephon Castle (36.3%) and Dylan Harper (34.8%) rank 146th, 147th and 148th in effective field goal percentage among the 148 players with at least 65 field goal attempts since Christmas, with De’Aaron Fox (44.8%) also in the bottom 12.
But in beating the Lakers and Celtics last week, the Spurs held two top-10 offenses (at the time) to a combined 93 points per 100 possessions, with the win over the Celtics on Saturday being the only time Boston has been held under a point per possession. They were coming off a game where they scored a season-high 62 points in the paint, but shot just 18-for-36 in the paint against San Antonio, also tallying just four free throw attempts. De’Aaron Fox had the biggest defensive play of the night, stripping Jaylen Brown with the Spurs up two in the final minute.
After three games coming off the bench, Victor Wembanyama was back in the starting lineup on Sunday, when the Spurs opened the game on a 16-0 run and outscored the Wolves by 17 points in his 27 minutes on the floor. But Wembanyama’s minutes on the bench were rough, the Spurs blew a 19-point lead and missed two shots for the win on their final possession. They’ve now been 13.1 points per 100 possessions better with Wembanyama on the floor (plus-13.6) than they’ve been with him off the floor (plus-0.5).
Coming up: The Spurs will finish their tough, three-game trip with another meeting with the champs. They’ve outscored the Thunder by 47 points (32.6 per 100 possessions) in Wembanyama’s 70 total minutes over the first three games.
Brett Siegel, Clutch Points — 1 (last week: 2)
It appears as if the San Antonio Spurs will be back in the playoffs for the first time since 2019. Although this young group, led by first-year head coach Mitch Johnson, has already exceeded expectations, especially with three wins over the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Spurs aren’t in a spot where they will push hard to make themselves a championship-contending organization.
Instead, San Antonio will continue to construct their roster organically through the draft and player development. The Spurs don’t face any pressure to make a move at this year’s trade deadline, and it would be surprising if they did. Harrison Barnes and Kelly Olynyk are two veterans the organization values, and there’s been a level of pushback regarding Jeremy Sochan’s availability.
Sochan is in the final year of his rookie contract and has seemed to fall out of the nightly rotation, yet he is still looked at as a voice of reason on the bench and someone who instills toughness in the team. Expect the Spurs to continue trending upward in the Western Conference playoff picture.
Coming up: Tues. 1/13 at Oklahoma City Thunder (33-7); Thurs. 1/15 vs. Milwaukee Bucks (17-22); Sat. 1/17 vs. Minnesota Timberwolves (26-14)
Prediction: 3-0 — I wanted to go 2-1 here (it’s another tough slate, plus I’m skeptical about getting a FOURTH win against OKC in a month), but the optimist in me is winning out. The Spurs stand a decent chance of being 100% with Devin Vassell possibly returning (he was listed as questionable ahead of Sunday’s game), and frankly the Thunder haven’t played any better than the Spurs over the last couple of weeks. Then, they actually get consecutive home games, and while they won’t be easy with Giannis Antetokounmpo back for the Bucks and the Wolves proving they can be a problem for the Spurs, they have to get out of their offensive funk eventually, and what better time than now? If they can return to form on offense while maintaining that stifling defense, watch out, world.
