2026年2月4日，星期三，在圣安东尼奥弗罗斯特银行中心进行的第三节比赛中，圣安东尼奥马刺队前锋卡特·布莱恩特 (Carter Bryant) (11) 在俄克拉荷马城雷霆队的防守下起跳投篮。马刺队以 116-106 击败了雷霆队。
卡特·布莱恩特 (Carter Bryant) 不再让他的完美主义倾向束缚自己。
这位新秀前锋显得更加放松且自信，他在周三晚上于弗罗斯特银行中心进行的比赛中，追平了个人赛季最高的得分（11分）和篮板（5个），并命中了赛季新高的三记三分球，帮助马刺队击败了阵容不整的俄克拉荷马城雷霆队，比分为116-106。
作为首轮第14顺位新秀，布莱恩特在替补出场的13分钟内还追平了个人赛季最高的抢断数（2个）。他在三分线外赛季最高的6次出手投出了50%的命中率，甚至在第一节末段德阿隆·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 投篮不中后完成了一记补扣；而在赛季早些时候，他曾多次扣篮失手。
“年轻球员永远不可能不犯错，”马刺队教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 说道，“所以一旦他们明白这一点，有时就能更有拼劲、更有活力地去比赛，因为错误总会发生，他们会被责备，会被要求承担责任，并继续从中学习。但我认为，对于年轻球员来说，很多时候——这是一个好特质，因为这意味着他们在乎——他们试图不犯错，有时试图追求完美。你会看到他们不相信自己直觉的情况，而大多数能进入这个联盟的球员都有很好的直觉，所以看到一个年轻人在这方面继续一点一滴地成长，是非常值得欣慰的。”
20岁的布莱恩特表示，约翰逊的评估非常准确。
“我以前太执着于追求完美，因为我是个完美主义者，我想变得伟大，”这位亚利桑那大学的校友说道，“你必须犯很多错误。你必须经历很多困难。你必须经历那些你觉得自己打得烂透了的比赛。一旦你把这些念头抛之脑后，事情也就那样了。我觉得这在某种程度上就是我的努力，以及教练组对我的信任，他们告诉我：‘相信你的付出，理解你为比赛投入的精力。’”

More relaxed, Spurs rookie Carter Bryant makes impact vs. Thunder
San Antonio Spurs forward Carter Bryant (11) goes up for a shot around the Oklahoma City Thunder during the third quarter at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Wednesday, Feb. 4, 2026. The Spurs defeated the Thunder, 116-106.
Carter Bryant isn’t letting his perfectionist streak hold him back any more.
Looking more relaxed and confident, the rookie forward matched his season highs for points (11) and rebounds (five) and hit a season-high three 3s in helping the Spurs beat the shorthanded Oklahoma City Thunder 116-106 Wednesday night at the Frost Bank Center.
In 13 minutes off the bench, the No. 14 overall pick also matched his season high for steals (two). He shot 50% from beyond the arc on a season-high six attempts and even had a put-back dunk following a De’Aaron Fox miss late in the first quarter after missing several slams earlier in the season.
“Young players, they’re never mistake free,” Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said. “So once they figure that out, then sometimes they’re free to play with more effort and energy because the mistakes will be there and they’re going to get yelled at and they’re going to be held accountable and they’re going to continue to learn from them. But I think a lot of times for young guys, and it’s a good trait because that means they care, they’re trying to not make mistakes, they’re trying to be perfect at times. I think you see instances where they don’t trust their instincts and most of the guys that get to this league have good instincts, and so it’s rewarding to see a young man continue to grow incrementally in that way.”
Bryant, 20, said Johnson was spot on with that assessment.
“I was so fixated on being perfect because I’m a perfectionist and I want to be great,” the Arizona alumnus said. “You have to make a lot of mistakes. You’re going to have to go through a lot of hard things. You’re going to have to go through games where you thought you played absolutely terrible. And once you kind of get that out of your mind, it just is what it is. And I think that’s kind of just me working and then also the coaching staff believing in me and telling me, ‘Trust your work, understand what you put into the game.’”
