圣安东尼奥电——历史仿佛重演，但维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 与马刺队在周六另有打算，他们顶住了安东尼·爱德华兹 (Anthony Edwards) 狂砍生涯新高55分的冲击，以126-123守住胜果，击败森林狼队。
文班亚马砍下全队最高的39分，他与爱德华兹合计得到94分。根据ESPN Research的数据，这是现代选秀时代（1966年以来）对阵双方的前状元秀所合砍的最高分。
“这很有趣，”文班亚马说道。“算不上最有趣的，但绝对是一场有趣的比赛。而且考虑到目前西部的竞争格局，这场胜利价值连城。”
六天前，在明尼阿波利斯的标靶中心，马刺曾打出16-0的开局，并一度领先多达19分，但最终在比赛还剩16.8秒时，因爱德华兹一记制胜的打板抛投而失利。本场比赛在弗罗斯特银行中心，爱德华兹也几乎再次扮演了搅局者的角色。
根据ESPN Research的数据，这位24岁的球员在第四节独得26分，这是自文字直播时代（1997-98赛季）以来，森林狼队史球员的单节第二高得分。
爱德华兹今晚得到的55分，是本赛季所有球员在失利比赛中的最高分。
“他们有文班，”爱德华兹说道。“他被看作是联盟的未来门面。所以，面对他我总是充满斗志。我太爱这种对决了。我真希望我们能让其他人全部拉开，然后就一对一单挑——我俩对决。”
在关键时刻，两队本赛季的第三次交锋在某种程度上就演变成了这样。在这位明尼苏达后卫率队抹平25分的分差后，文班亚马和爱德华兹在最后三分钟里两度上演得分对飙。
“这支球队（森林狼）逆转我们的次数已经够多了，每个人都记得，也能预料到他们会做出调整、提升状态，而比赛也确实是这样发展的，”马刺队教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 说。“我们让他们追了回来，他们是一支顽强的队伍，尤其是在你让他们打出气势之后。”
比赛还剩3分28秒时，凭借爱德华兹的一记11英尺后仰跳投，森林狼队取得了下半场的首次领先。文班亚马在马刺队的下一次进攻中立刻用一记18英尺的跳投予以回应，将比分扳为110平。
“维克投进了一些关键球，这决定了比赛的走向，”马刺前锋凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson) 说道，他本场贡献了20分，并在比赛还剩17.3秒时命中了一记关键三分。“他们把比赛变成了一场苦战，而我们在最后关头打出了一些决定性的表现。”
在圣安东尼奥建立25分半场领先优势的过程中，文班亚马引爆了球队近40年来得分最高的一节。他在第二节独揽20分——包括在2分06秒内连得11分——马刺也在该节以48-22的比分遥遥领先森林狼。
这一得分爆发创造了圣安东尼奥自1987年11月20日以来的单节最高分，当时马刺在输给丹佛掘金队的比赛末节曾得到48分。根据ESPN Research的数据，本场对阵森林狼的单节48分，也追平了球队自加入NBA（1976-77赛季）以来的队史单节第四高得分纪录。
文班亚马本场距离追平自己40分的赛季最高得分仅差1分，他在赛季揭幕战对阵达拉斯独行侠队的比赛中曾创下这一纪录。
“这场比赛的核心问题在于我们挥霍了领先优势，”文班亚马说道。“重要的是要弄清楚在那种时刻我们应该如何应对，因为我们已经多次讨论过这个问题。我们知道这是个毛病，我也清楚我们的心态没有问题。但我们必须明确执行的方针。我们并非完全满意。这是一场有附加条件的胜利，因为对手是背靠背作战，而且他们还有一些明星球员缺阵。我们有很多地方需要纠正，但这终究是一场胜利，这才是我们应该关注的重点。”
明尼苏达队本场比赛缺少了首发中锋鲁迪·戈贝尔 (Rudy Gobert)（左臀挫伤）。据球队宣布，前锋纳兹·里德 (Naz Reid) 也因左肩酸痛，在周六比赛的上半场便提前退场。

Wembanyama, Spurs outlast Edwards despite 55-point barrage
SAN ANTONIO – Déjà vu crept in, but Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs had other plans Saturday, overcoming a career-high 55-point performance from Anthony Edwards to hold on for a 126-123 win over the Timberwolves.
Wembanyama scored a team-high 39 points as he and Edwards combined for 94 points, the most by opposing former No. 1 picks in the modern draft era (1966), according to ESPN Research.
“It was fun,” Wembanyama said. “Not the most fun, but it was a fun game for sure. And this one is worth a lot because of the way the West looks right now.”
Six days ago at the Target Center in Minneapolis, the Spurs took a 16-0 lead and led by as many as 19 points before losing on a go-ahead runner off the glass by Edwards with 16.8 seconds remaining. Edwards almost played the spoiler role again at Frost Bank Center.
The 24-year-old scored 26 points in the fourth quarter, the second-highest scoring output in any quarter by a Timberwolves player in the play-by-play era (1997-98), according to ESPN Research.
Edwards’ 55-point night ranks as the most points this season by a player in a loss.
“They’ve got Wemby,” Edwards said. “He’s supposed to be the face of the league. So I’ve always got to get up for that one. I loved it. I wish we could have just moved everybody out the way and just checked up – me versus him.”
The third matchup between the teams sort of played out that way down the stretch. Wembanyama and Edwards traded baskets twice in the last three minutes, after the Minnesota guard rallied his team from a 25-point deficit.
“This team has done this to [us] enough times that everyone remembers and can expect the adjustment or the uptick in what we are about to see, and that’s what happened,” Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said. “We let them back into the game, and they are a tough group, especially when you let them get going like that.”
The Timberwolves took their first lead of the second half with 3:28 remaining on an 11-foot fadeaway from Edwards. Wembanyama responded on San Antonio’s next possession with an 18-footer to tie the score at 110.
“Vic hit some big-time shots, and that’s what it comes down to,” said Spurs forward Keldon Johnson, who contributed 20 points, including a 3-pointer with 17.3 seconds left. “They made it a dogfight, and we made some big plays down the stretch.”
Wembanyama sparked his squad’s most prolific quarter in nearly 40 years as San Antonio built its 25-point halftime lead. He scored 20 points in the second quarter – including 11 straight in 2:06 – as the Spurs outscored the Timberwolves 48-22 in the frame.
The outburst marked the most points San Antonio had scored in a quarter since Nov. 20, 1987, when the Spurs dropped 48 points in the final frame of a loss to the Denver Nuggets. The 48-point quarter against the Timberwolves also tied for the fourth-most points scored in any quarter since the franchise joined the NBA (1976-77), according to ESPN Research.
Wembanyama fell one point shy of matching his season high of 40 points, which he scored in the season opener against the Dallas Mavericks.
“The whole story of the game is we let the lead get away,” Wembanyama said. "What’s important is to figure out what we want to get to in those moments because we talk about it a lot. We know it’s a problem, and I know our mind is in the right place.
“But we’ve got to know where to get to. We’re not fully satisfied. It’s a nuanced win because they [played a] back-to-back. They had some stars sitting out. There’s a lot we have to correct, but it’s still a win, and that’s the main thing to focus on.”
Minnesota played without starting center Rudy Gobert (left hip contusion). Forward Naz Reid left Saturday’s contest in the first half because of soreness in his left shoulder, the team announced.
