旧金山讯——周二晚在洛杉矶，距离全场比赛结束还剩4分13秒时，马刺中锋维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 走回了加密货币网竞技场 (Crypto.com Arena) 的替补席。
他已经拿下了本赛季第二场40分的比赛。马刺队正大踏步走向一场以135-108大胜人员不整的湖人队的胜利。
尽管如此，文班亚马仍不满足。
这位22岁的全明星一度比划着跑向记录台的动作，开玩笑说要重新上场。
“在这种比赛中，你必须保持‘贪婪’，”这位身高7英尺4英寸的法国人说道。“你必须时刻渴望更多。”
马刺教练组却有不同的想法。
尽管文班亚马苦苦哀求，试图“忽悠”教练让他回到已经失去悬念的第四节赛场，但他的请求并未被理会。
这几乎是全晚文班亚马唯一被阻挡的时刻。
这位22岁的全明星在最后一场大胜的末节稳坐替补席，全场数据定格在40分12个篮板，而完成这一切仅耗时26分钟。
“我一直在争取重返赛场，但他们让我留在替补席的做法是正确的，”文班亚马表示，马刺队将在周三背靠背对阵金州勇士，结束全明星赛前的赛程。“我们必须着眼于长远。”
文班亚马周二能在第四节轮休，部分归功于他面对缺兵少将的湖人时打出的火热开局。
他在首节砍下25分，在队史单节得分榜上仅次于乔治·格文 (George Gervin)（33分）和大卫·罗宾逊 (David Robinson)（28分）。
比赛前4分14秒，文班亚马便狂揽17分，在洛杉矶湖人主场观众还没坐稳之前就点燃了记分牌。
首节还剩6分13秒时，文班亚马已砍下21分——这也是他职业生涯单节最高得分。
马刺队首节以47-30领先，追平了队史首节最高得分纪录。文班亚马是头号功臣。
“他表现得极具侵略性，”洛杉矶主帅J.J.·雷迪克 (J.J. Redick) 说道。“这是我见过他在开场时打得最有侵略性的一次。”
这其中是有原因的。
湖人队当晚缺少了包括两名全明星在内的四名常规首发球员。卢卡·东契奇 (Luka Doncic)、勒布朗·詹姆斯 (LeBron James)、德安德烈·艾顿 (DeAndre Ayton) 和奥斯汀·里夫斯 (Austin Reaves) 全部缺阵，核心替补马库斯·斯马特 (Marcus Smart) 也未能出战。
这种情形本赛季曾让马刺队头疼不已，他们总是表现出一种令人恼火的倾向——面对实力削弱的对手时，自己的表现也会随之下滑。
文班亚马决心不让这种情况在周二重演。
“让我动力十足的原因，坦白说，是为了向自己和团队证明一点，”文班亚马说。“我不担心我们对阵强队的表现。历史告诉我，我更需要担心的是我们在面对这种球队时的表现。”
截至半场休息，文班亚马已砍下37分，从数学计算上看，他有望打破大卫·罗宾逊保持的71分队史单场得分纪录。
马刺队以84-55的惊人分差领先，连续两场比赛打出强势上半场。
此后，马刺队已不再需要文班亚马。
第三节还剩4分34秒时，文班亚马投中一记三分球，使个人得分达到40分，这是他自达拉斯揭幕战以来的最高分。
马刺以100-68领先。
显然，文班亚马当晚的任务即将结束，尤其是考虑到不到24小时后他们还要在旧金山进行另一场比赛。
“当他拿到40分后，我抬头一看，我们已经领先了（快）40分，”新秀后卫迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 说道。“当时的感觉就是，‘行了，他该下场歇着了。’”
即便出场时间有限，文班亚马在技术统计表上依然表现得十分全面。
周二是文班亚马职业生涯第六场得分40+的比赛，比队史传奇人物蒂姆·邓肯 (Tim Duncan) 在其19个赛季的名人堂生涯中完成的次数还要多一次。
他全场20投13中，三分球6投4中，罚球12罚10中，此外还贡献了两次抢断和一次盖帽。
自1954-55赛季引入进攻时限以来，只有五名球员能在26分钟或更短的时间内砍下至少40分。文班亚马便是其中之一。
他和帕特里克·尤因 (Patrick Ewing) 是联盟历史上仅有的两位能在如此短的出场时间内达成“40分+两双”数据的球员。
这足以让文班亚马的队友们遐想，如果允许他继续“贪婪”下去，他还能完成怎样的壮举。
“我认为他本可以拿到60分，”哈珀说道。

SAN FRANCISCO – With 4:13 remaining on Tuesday night in Los Angeles, Spurs center Victor Wembanyama headed to the bench at Crypto.com Arena.
He had already posted his second 40-point game of the season. His team was well on its way to a 135-108 trouncing of the undermanned Lakers.
Still, Wembanyama wanted more.
At one point, the 22-year-old All-Star pantomimed a jog toward the scorer’s table, joking about checking himself back in.
“These kind of games, you have to have the greed,” the 7-foot-4 Frenchman said. “You have to want more every time.”
The Spurs’ coaching staff had other ideas.
Though Wembanyama begged and pleaded, trying to cajole his way onto the court for a meaningless fourth quarter, his entreaties went unheeded.
It was about the only time all night Wembanyama could be denied.
The 22-year-old All-Star stayed on the bench for the final quarter of the blowout, having to settle for a 40-point, 12-rebound effort that required only 26 minutes of court time to complete.
“I was pushing to go back, but they did the right thing by keeping me on the bench,” said Wembanyama, whose team was set to close the pre All-Star portion of its schedule with a back-to-back finisher Wednesday at Golden State. “We’ve got to think long term.”
Wembanyama got the fourth quarter off Tuesday in part because of a hot start that made quick work of the short-handed Lakers.
He scored 25 points in the first quarter, the third highest-scoring frame in franchise history behind George Gervin (33) and David Robinson (28).
Wembanyama had 17 points in the game’s first 4:14, lighting up the Crypto.com Arena scoreboard before the Lakers crowd had fully gotten settled.
By the 6:13 mark, Wembanyama had 21 points — already the highest-scoring quarter of his career.
The Spurs ended the quarter ahead 47-30, having equaled the club record for most points in an opening frame. Wembanyama was the reason why.
“He was very aggressive,” Los Angeles coach J.J. Redick said. “As aggressive to start a game as I’ve ever seen him.”
There was a reason for that.
The Lakers came into the night missing four regular starters, including a pair of All-Stars. Luka Doncic, LeBron James, DeAndre Ayton and Austin Reaves were all out, as was key reserve Marcus Smart.
This sort of circumstance has proven troublesome this season for the Spurs, who have displayed a maddening tendency to play down to weakened competition.
Wembanyama was determined not to let that happen Tuesday.
“What got me going is honestly proving myself a point and proving my team a point,” Wembanyama said. “I’m not worried about us against good teams. History has shown me that I need to be worried about us against teams like this.”
By intermission, Wembanyama had notched 37 points, mathematically on pace to beat David Robinson’s single-game franchise record of 71.
The Spurs were ahead by an eye-popping margin of 84-55, having posted their second consecutive first half.
Wembanyama’s services were not exactly needed after that.
With 4:34 remaining in the third, Wembanyama swished a 3-pointer that put him at 40 points, his most since the season opener at Dallas.
The Spurs were ahead 100-68.
It was clear Wembanyama was nearing the end of his night, especially with another game looming in less than 24 hours in San Francisco.
“After he hit 40, I looked up and we were up (nearly) 40,” rookie guard Dylan Harper said. “It was like, ‘Yeah, he needs to come sit down.’ ”
Even in limited playing time, Wembanyama turned in a full day’s work in the box score.
Tuesday marked the sixth 40-point game of Wembanyama’s career — one more than franchise great Tim Duncan managed during his 19-season Hall of Fame career.
He finished 13-of-20 from the field, 4-of-6 from 3-point range and 10-of-12 from the free-throw line while adding two steals and a block.
Since the advent of the shot clock in 1954-55, only five players have tallied at least 40 points in 26 minutes or less. Wembanyama is one of them.
He and Patrick Ewing are the only two players in league history to log a 40-point double-double in so few minutes.
It was enough to make Wembanyama’s fellow Spurs wonder what he could have accomplished had he been allowed to be greedy.
“I think he could have gotten 60,” Harper said.
