_欢迎来到《一周回顾》：这是一个周一发布的栏目，回顾_[\*圣安东尼奥马刺队 \*](https://www.poundingtherock.com/)_过去一周的赛况，展望未来一周的赛程，并带来更多内容。敬请享受！_

* * *

[第13周](https://chinaspurs.com/t/topic/44454): 在客场惨败于俄克拉荷马城、遭遇圣诞节后低谷的最低点之后，马刺似乎终于迎来转机。他们面对内乱之中的雄鹿队时找回了进攻状态，并在与森林狼的比赛中克服了重重波折，包括顶住了安东尼·爱德华兹 (Anthony Edwards) 的55分表演，最终击败了这个赛季一直给他们制造麻烦的对手。

### 第14周：2胜2负（总战绩31胜15负，[西部第2](https://www.espn.com/nba/standings)）

[123-110 胜 犹他爵士](https://chinaspurs.com/t/topic/44466)

凭借全队努力以及维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 投中的7记三分球，马刺轻松击败了一支伤兵满营（可能在摆烂？）的爵士队，从而横扫了他们连续三个主场比赛。与之前的比赛（即便是赢球的场次）不同，马刺这次全程保持专注，没有让领先优势溜走，使得主力球员得以在背靠背第二场的第四节大部分时间里获得休息。

[106-111 负于 休斯顿火箭](https://chinaspurs.com/t/topic/44486)

唉，正当人们感觉马刺重回正轨、学会如何保护领先优势时，他们在客场又故态复萌。在长达两个半节的时间里都压制着他们的I-10州际公路死敌，并一度领先多达16分之后，他们在第四节彻底崩溃。文班对火箭的身体对抗束手无策，而里德·谢泼德 (Reed Sheppard) 则打穿了马刺的后卫线。他们在第四节被对手打了个29-14，这使得他们在大比分领先后被逆转的比赛清单上又添了一笔。

[126-109 胜 犹他爵士](https://chinaspurs.com/t/topic/44513)

在休斯顿挥霍巨大领先优势的苦涩并未阻止他们在两晚后于盐湖城重蹈覆辙，但尽管过程惊险，爵士也仅仅是几次将比分追平而已。随后，文班和德阿隆·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 做了超级巨星该做的事：在第四节接管比赛，彻底击溃这支实力更弱、阵容不整的球队，以一波22-9的攻击波终结了比赛。

https://hub.chinaspurs.com/v?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2FZZWuYXY0EHw%3Frel%3D0&key=52d31805

[95-104 负于 新奥尔良鹈鹕](https://chinaspurs.com/t/topic/44544)

球队的表现完全回到了低迷时期，面对一支实力稍逊的对手，骄傲自满的情绪再次抬头。在整个上半场大部分时间保持领先后，马刺让鹈鹕队在第二节末和第三节初打出高潮。经过一次冰球式换人后，替补阵容提升了场上活力，马刺最终不仅从落后20分的劣势中追了回来，甚至在比赛还剩四分钟时取得了五分的领先。不幸的是，他们未能维持住那样的比赛强度，又输掉了一场本不该输的比赛，搞砸了德文·瓦塞尔 (Devin Vassell) 的复出之战。

### 实力榜排名

[约翰·舒曼 (John Schuhmann), NBA.com](https://www.nba.com/news/power-rankings-2025-26-week-15) — 第4名 (上周：第3名)

> 进攻效率: 116.5 (第9) 防守效率: 111.5 (第3) 净效率: +5.0 (第5) 比赛节奏: 100.6 (第16)
> 
> 自从圣诞大战第三次击败雷霆以来，马刺的战绩仅为8胜8负，其中包括输给爵士、灰熊和鹈鹕的比赛。但他们仍位居西部第二，并且是联盟中仅有的四支攻防效率均排名前十的球队之一（这四支球队全部来自西部）。
> 
> 三点观察
> 
> 1. 在过去四场胜利中，马刺每百回合得分超过124分，但自圣诞节以来，他们的进攻效率（每百回合111.8分）仍仅排在联盟第24位。在这16场比赛中，斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 和迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 的合计有效命中率仅为40.4%，而哈里森·巴恩斯 (Harrison Barnes) 则陷入沉寂，场均仅得6.2分，远低于他在圣诞节客胜俄克拉荷马城之前的场均12.9分。
> 
> 2. 凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson) 弥补了部分进攻火力。他每36分钟20.2分的得分将是他职业生涯第二高的记录，并且他正打出新秀赛季以来效率最高的一个赛季（真实命中率为65.2%），当时他仅出手89次。在圣诞节后马刺所有10场分差在最后五分钟内低于五分的比赛中，他是唯一一位在关键时刻都登场了的球员。
> 
> 3. 马刺队确实在周日迎回了缺席13场比赛的德文·瓦塞尔。当瓦塞尔、福克斯和文班亚马同时在场时，马刺每百回合能净胜对手12.9分，尽管这个样本量（137分钟）还非常小。
> 
> 未来赛程：马刺将于周三回到丰田中心，届时他们将有机会向火箭复仇上周的失利。在与西部前七名球队的交锋中，他们的战绩为8胜7负（主场或中立场5胜0负，客场3胜7负）。

[布雷特·西格尔 (Brett Siegel), Clutch Points](https://clutchpoints.com/nba/nba-stories/2025-26-nba-power-rankings-week-14-raptors-surge-trade-deadline-looming) — 第3名 (上周：第2名)

> 圣安东尼奥马刺队最近的两场失利并不那么令人担忧，特别是因为在对阵休斯顿和新奥尔良的比赛中，他们只是投篮失准。现在，马刺将迎来新的一周，首先是在休斯顿的复仇之战，这是一个重回正轨的机会。
> 
> 本赛季马刺的进攻和防守效率均位列联盟前十，与他们一同做到这一点的还有休斯顿火箭、俄克拉荷马城雷霆和明尼苏达森林狼。
> 
> 正如周日所报道的，圣安东尼奥已经[参与了与纽约尼克斯队关于前首轮秀杰里米·索汉 (Jeremy Sochan) 的交易谈判](https://clutchpoints.com/nba/new-york-knicks/sources-knicks-discussing-guerschon-yabusele-trade-spurs-pelicans-others)。然而，到目前为止，马刺一直不愿交易索汉，他们更有可能在交易截止日前利用凯利·奥利尼克 (Kelly Olynyk) 的到期合同来寻求进一步的前场补强。

* * *

未来赛程： 1月28日周三客场对阵休斯顿火箭 (27-16)；1月31日周六客场对阵夏洛特黄蜂 (18-28)；2月1日周日主场对阵奥兰多魔术 (23-21)

预测： 2胜1负 —— 也许如果我不再预测马刺会开启一波连胜，他们反而真的能做到。他们将有机会向火箭复仇，尽管我并不完全相信他们能迎接这一挑战。随后，他们将面对一场比想象中更难打的比赛，对手是一支阵容齐整的黄蜂队，他们近来状态正佳，拉梅洛·鲍尔 (LaMelo Ball) 正在学习如何与布兰登·米勒 (Brandon Miller) 和康·克努佩尔 (Kon Knueppel) 一起打团队篮球（后者正是那种一旦被放空就能迅速惩罚马刺的射手）。最后，马刺将回到主场，迎战一支表现未达预期但作风强硬的魔术队，本赛季早些时候他们也只是凭借压哨球才勉强战胜对手。

> * * *
> 
> **[Week 13](https://www.poundingtherock.com/spurs-analysis/93351/week-in-review-the-spurs-offense-is-coming-back-around):** After hitting rock bottom of their post-Christmas slump with an embarrassing second-half blowout loss in Oklahoma City, the Spurs finally appeared to turn a corner, rediscovering their offensive form against a Bucks team in turmoil and overcoming plenty of drama against the Timberwolves, including a 55-point outing from Anthony Edwards, to finally beat a team that had given them trouble all season.
> 
> ### Week 14: 2-2 (31-15, [2nd in West](https://www.espn.com/nba/standings))
> 
> **[123-110 win vs. Utah Jazz](https://www.poundingtherock.com/game-recaps/93384/victor-wembanyama-rains-threes-on-the-jazz-leads-spurs-to-blowout-win)**
> 
> The Spurs swept their three-game homestand by taking care of an injured (tanking?) Jazz squad using a team effort and riding 7 threes from Victor Wembanyama. Unlike previous games, even wins, the Spurs stayed locked in and did not give away the lead, allowing the starters to rest most of the fourth quarter on the second night of a back-to-back.
> 
> https://hub.chinaspurs.com/v?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2F49l2EKgFtK0%3Frel%3D0&key=e25697e8
> 
> **[106-111 loss at Houston Rockets](https://www.poundingtherock.com/game-recaps/93506/late-collapse-costs-spurs-in-111-106-loss-to-rockets)**
> 
> Alas, just when it felt like the Spurs were their better selves again and learning how to protect a lead, they reverted back to bad habits on the road. After dominating their IH-10 rivals for 2 1/2 quarters and leading by as much as 16, they completely fell apart in the fourth. Wemby had no answers for the Rockets’ physicality, and Reed Sheppard sliced up the Spurs’ backcourt. They were outscored 29-14 in the fourth quarter, adding to their ever-growing list of games lost after leading by double-figures.
> 
> https://hub.chinaspurs.com/v?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2FFGhc5khN8bs%3Frel%3D0&key=cb5b1c15
> 
> **[126-109 win at Utah Jazz](https://www.poundingtherock.com/game-recaps/93624/spurs-find-their-finish-pull-away-from-jazz-126-109)**
> 
> The bad taste of blowing a big lead in Houston didn’t prevent them from doing it again two nights later in Utah, but despite having to sweat it out, the Jazz only managed to tie the game a couple of times before Wemby and De’Aaron Fox did what superstars are supposed to do: take over in the fourth quarter to put a worse, shorthanded team away, ending the game on a 22-9 run.
> 
> https://hub.chinaspurs.com/v?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2FZZWuYXY0EHw%3Frel%3D0&key=52d31805

> 
> In a complete reversion back to their slump days, complacency once again set in against an inferior opponent. After maintaining the lead for most of the first half, the Spurs allowed big runs by the Pelicans to close the second and open the third quarter. After a hockey substitution, the bench unit upped the energy, and eventually the Spurs not only came all the way back from 20 down, but took a five-point lead with four minutes remaining. Unfortunately, they couldn’t sustain that level of play and lost another game the shouldn’t have, spoiling Devin Vassell’s return from injury.

> 
> **[John Schuhmann, NBA.com](https://www.nba.com/news/power-rankings-2025-26-week-15)** — 4 (last week: 3)
> 
> > OffRtg: 116.5 (9) DefRtg: 111.5 (3) NetRtg: +5.0 (5) Pace: 100.6 (16)
> > 
> > The Spurs are just 8-8 since they beat the Thunder for the third time on Christmas Day, a stretch that includes losses to the Jazz, Grizzlies and Pelicans. But they’re still in second place in the West and one of four teams (all in the Western Conference) that rank in the top 10 on both ends of the floor.
> > 
> > Three takeaways
> > 
> > 1. The Spurs have scored more than 124 points per 100 possessions over their last four wins, but they still rank just 24th offensively (111.8 scored per 100) since Christmas. Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper have combined for an effective field goal percentage of just 40.4% over the 16 games, and Harrison Barnes has gone quiet, averaging just 6.2 points, down from 12.9 through the Christmas win in Oklahoma City.
> > 
> > 2. Keldon Johnson has picked up some of the slack. His 20.2 points per 36 minutes would be the second-highest mark of his career, and he’s having his most efficient season (true shooting percentage of 65.2%) since his rookie year, when he attempted only 89 shots. He’s been the only Spur who’s played in clutch time in all 10 of their games since Christmas that have been within five points in the last five minutes.
> > 
> > 3. The Spurs did get Devin Vassell back from a 13-game absence on Sunday, and they’ve outscored their opponents by 12.9 points per 100 possessions with Vassell, De’Aaron Fox and Victor Wembanyama on the floor together, though that sample size (137 minutes) is still pretty small.
> > 
> > Coming up: The Spurs will have a chance to avenge last week’s loss in Houston when they return to the Toyota Center on Wednesday. They’re 8-7 (5-0 at home or on a neutral court, 3-7 on the road) in games played between the top seven teams in the West.
> 
> **[Brett Siegel, Clutch Points](https://clutchpoints.com/nba/nba-stories/2025-26-nba-power-rankings-week-14-raptors-surge-trade-deadline-looming)** — 3 (last week: 2)
> 
> > Neither of the San Antonio Spurs’ two recent losses is all that concerning, especially since shots simply weren’t falling against Houston and New Orleans. Now, the Spurs enter a new week, starting with a rematch in Houston and a chance to get back on the right track.
> > 
> > The Spurs rank inside the top 10 in both offensive and defensive rating this season, joining Houston, Oklahoma City, and Minnesota.
> > 
> > As reported on Sunday, San Antonio has been [involved in trade talks with New York](https://clutchpoints.com/nba/new-york-knicks/sources-knicks-discussing-guerschon-yabusele-trade-spurs-pelicans-others) surrounding former first-round pick Jeremy Sochan. However, the Spurs have been reluctant to trade Sochan to this point, and it’s much more likely they seek further frontcourt help before the deadline utilizing Kelly Olynyk’s expiring contract.
> 
> * * *
> 
> **Coming up:** Wed. 1/28 at Houston Rockets (27-16); Sat. 1/31 at Charlotte Hornets (18-28); Sun, 2/1 vs. Orlando Magic (23-21)
> 
> **Prediction:**  **2-1** — Maybe if I stop predicting the Spurs will go on a winning streak, they actually will. They’ll have a chance for revenge against the Rockets, although I’m not entirely convinced they’re up for the challenge. They then have a sneakily tough game against a healthy Hornets team that has been coming into its own lately, with LaMelo Ball learning how to play team ball alongside Brandon Miller and Kon Knueppel (who is exactly the type of shooter who can bury the Spurs in a hurry if they leave him open). Finally, the Spurs return home to take on an underwhelming but tough Magic team that they only barely beat at the buzzer earlier in the season.

# 热评：

> [@Nicedoggie](#):
>
> 最近的日子不好过，因为我们对球队的期望值提高了。但这也合情合理，因为他们已经展示出今年的表现远超几乎所有人的预期。所以当他们输给那些挣扎的球队时，会令人感到沮丧。他们本不应该需要上演英雄般的逆转才能击败鹈鹕或爵士。
> 
> 对我来说，问题不全在于输球本身，尽管今年的失利比往年更重要。问题在于，在向我们展示了他们能打得多好之后，又眼睁睁看着他们打得如此糟糕。

> 12月26日 - “哇，这支球队太棒了！我们要争夺总冠军了！”  
> 1月26日 - “哇，这支球队烂透了！我们必须做交易！”

> 更多关于交易流言的内容，摘自链接中的 Clutch Points 文章：
> 
> > 消息人士称，在与马刺的讨论中，尼克斯队曾询价2022年的九号秀杰里米·索汉 (Jeremy Sochan)。索汉正处于新秀合同的最后一年，并将在今年夏天成为一名受限制自由球员。他在两个前锋位置上的防守多功能性以及进攻端的突破能力，将非常契合纽约的打法风格。
> > 
> > 消息人士称， 尽管索汉已经掉出了马刺的轮换阵容，但在圣安东尼奥内部，交易他的想法遭到了抵制 。马刺仍然看重索汉的存在，并且尚未表态他们会在今年的交易截止日前真正交易他。尽管圣安东尼奥确实有兴趣在明星大个子维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 身后补充更多前场球员，但 亚布塞莱（Yabusele）已不再是他们目标清单上的优先选项 。
> > 
> > 尽管由于曾在法国国家队共事，他和文班亚马是朋友，但据说马刺正在评估交易市场上的其他选择，这也是为什么他们与尼克斯的讨论在上周晚些时候降温的原因。 联盟中的许多人都在猜测，圣安东尼奥是否正在利用凯利·奥利尼克 (Kelly Olynyk) 即将到期的1340万美元合同空间来达成一笔交易 。

> [@Los Diablo](#):

> 不知为何，当文班首发时，米奇（Mitch）似乎就失去了他的执教能力。我觉得他只是把球扔到场上，说一句“去打吧”，然后就指望和祈祷文班每晚都能像超人一样来拯救球队。

> [@GWB60](#):
>
> 有几点想说……
> 
> 第一……球队不能总把输球归咎于自满情绪，就好像他们可以随心所欲地开启或关闭这种状态一样。
> 
> 不管是被强队大比分逆转，还是干脆输给实力较弱的对手，在我看来，失利更多是源于球队的弱点，而非注意力不集中。
> 
> 比赛中糟糕的得分荒、执行力不足、进攻停滞、活球失误以及缺乏必要的身体对抗性和竞争力，这些才是罪魁祸首。我们在面对打法强硬的球队时会很挣扎，这已不是什么秘密。我们似乎太容易在压力下崩溃，让对手（甚至是实力不如我们的球队）提升强度，给我们当头一棒，并掌控势头。
> 
> 当然，部分原因是……我们仍然是一支年轻的球队，许多不足之处仅仅是由于核心球员经验不足，以及这套阵容在一起打球的时间还不够长，导致缺乏团队凝聚力和同步性。
> 
> 在我们一直期待的建队进程中，我们是取得了一些进展，但也许还没有达到我们想象或希望的程度。
> 
> 无论本赛季结果如何，这都将是一段很棒的旅程，我们的未来看起来超级光明。

> [@zhouprodigy](#):
>
> 马刺在这些实力排行榜上仍然位居前四，这个事实就足以说明这次低谷的一切了。
> 
> 这支球队拥有击败联盟中任何一支球队的天赋。与前几年多个位置都缺乏天赋不同，我们现在每个位置上都有非常深厚的阵容。唯一能击败我们的就是持续的低迷状态。
> 
> 幸运的是，每支球队都有自己的问题，所以我们还有时间摆脱困境。我们只需要尽快做到这一点，并在季后赛临近时继续进步。
> 
> 希望到赛季末，我们能达到最好的状态，因为我对这支球队目前的潜力非常乐观。
