周二晚在俄克拉荷马城，维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 并不介意扮演反派角色。
“我听到了一声‘（脏话）’，”这位马刺队的全明星球员说道。“但也就那么一声，你懂我的意思吗？”
在本赛季前三次交锋中，马刺都战胜了强大的雷霆队，因此当文班亚马再次回到Paycom中心时，他发现自己成了一个不受欢迎的人。
作为俄克拉荷马城一支新兴竞争对手的头号球星，这是他必须面对的。
文班亚马在马刺队近期一连串胜利后发表的言论——包括那句臭名昭著、含糊其辞的“道德篮球”论——似乎进一步激怒了雷霆队的忠实球迷。
周二，雷霆球迷抓住一切机会对文班亚马报以嘘声，并最终笑到了最后，因为他们的主队终于在一场喧嚣的胜利中以119-98击败马刺，打破了此前的连败局面。
这是马刺本赛季最惨痛的一场失利。同时，这也是双方赛季系列赛中分差最大的一场比赛，而此前的系列赛中还包括了圣诞大战马刺在俄克拉荷马城取得的一场20分大胜。
“我不认为他们（相比前三次交手）做出了太多改变，”文班亚马在谈到雷霆队时说。“他们坚信自己的打法。”
文班亚马在欧洲联赛时期就对充满敌意的环境毫不陌生，他表示俄克拉荷马城观众的嘘声反而激励了他。
“我认为这正是让我们变得更好的原因，”贡献了17分和7个篮板的文班亚马说道。“这显然比一支对我熟视无睹的球队（带来的激励）要多得多。”
马刺队教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 表示，他为22岁的文班亚马正在学习如何承受NBA每支球队——以及每场观众——的最高火力而感到自豪。
“他是个老派球员，我认为他不会太在意所谓的宿敌关系，”约翰逊说。“他不会跟任何人过分友好。他总能把分寸拿捏得恰到好处。一切顺其自然，我认为这些（场外因素）不会对他有太大影响。”
文班亚马坚称，他见过比周二在俄克拉荷马城的“龙潭虎穴”更糟的场面。
文班亚马表示，就主场氛围的火爆程度而言，俄克拉荷马城与他心目中拥有欧洲最可怕球迷群体的希腊俱乐部帕纳辛纳科斯相比，根本是小巫见大巫。
“要说充满敌意，我认为没什么地方比那里更具敌意了，”文班亚马说道。

Victor Wembanyama doesn’t mind playing villain versus Thunder

Victor Wembanyama didn’t mind playing the villain Tuesday night in Oklahoma City.
“I heard one ‘(expletive) you’,” the Spurs All-Star said. “But just one, you know what I mean?”
After the Spurs won the first three matchups of the season against the vaunted Thunder, Wembanyama found himself persona non grata upon his return to the Paycom Center.
It comes with the territory of being the best player on one of Oklahoma City’s burgeoning rivals.
Wembanyama’s comments after the Spurs’ recent run of victories — including the infamous, cryptic one about “ethical basketball” — seem to have enraged the OKC faithful further.
Thunder fans booed Wembanyama at every opportunity Tuesday, then got the last word when their team at last broke through against the Spurs with a raucous 119-98 victory.
It was the Spurs’ most lopsided loss of the season. It was also the most lopsided decision in a season series that included a 20-point Spurs victory at OKC on Christmas Day.
“I don’t think they changed too many things (from the first three meetings),” Wembanyama said of the Thunder. “They trusted their own identity.”
No stranger to hostile environments from his time in the Euroleague, Wembanyama said he was motivated by the Oklahoma City crowd’s jeers.
“I think this is what makes us better,” said Wembanyama, who had a modest 17 points and seven rebounds. “Obviously way more than a team that would ignore me.”
Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said he is proud of how the 22-year-old Wembanyama is learning to take every team — and every crowd’s — best shot in the NBA.
“He’s old school, the type that I don’t think he puts too much stock in a rivalry,” Johnson said. “I don’t think he’s overly friendly with anybody. I think he keeps it right where it’s supposed to be. Whatever happens organically will happen, and I don’t think it’ll move him much.”
Wembanyama swears he’s seen worse than Tuesday’s lion’s den in Oklahoma City.
As far as belligerent crowds go, Wembanyama said, Oklahoma City’s had nothing on that of Panathinaikos, the Greek club he believes to have the most frightening fan base in Europe.
“When you talk about hostile, I don’t think anything is more hostile than that,” Wembanyama said.
