全明星周末正式在洛杉矶的直观圆顶体育馆 (Intuit Dome) 拉开帷幕。在名人赛之后，真正的 NBA 赛事由新秀挑战赛 (Rising Stars Challenge) 打响：这项赛事由三支 NBA 菜鸟与二年级生组成的球队，以及第四支由发展联盟 (G League) 球员组成的球队参加。四支球队分别由四位荣誉主帅卡梅隆·安东尼 (Carmelo Anthony)、文斯·卡特 (Vince Carter)、特雷西·麦克格雷迪 (Tracy McGrady) 和奥斯汀·里弗斯 (Austin Rivers) 选拔产生。比赛格式包括两场半决赛，先达到 40 分者获胜；两支胜者球队进入决赛，决赛中先达到 25 分者将夺得最终冠军。
圣安东尼奥马刺队在这项赛事中存在感十足：斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 和迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 代表甜瓜队 (Team Melo) 出战，该队由马刺首席助教肖恩·斯威尼 (Sean Sweeney) 执教。而卡特·布莱恩特 (Carter Bryant) 作为因伤缺阵的灰熊新秀塞德里克·科沃德 (Cedric Coward) 的最后一刻递补人选，加入了文斯队 (Team Vince)，该队由马刺助教科利斯·威廉姆斯 (Corlis Williamson) 执教。
第一场：甜瓜队 vs. 奥斯汀队
比赛以甜瓜队对阵奥斯汀队拉开序幕。卡斯尔和哈珀均首发出场，哈珀的第一个亮眼动作就是封盖了他的哥哥小罗恩·哈珀 (Ron Harper, Jr.)。去年的赛事 MVP 卡斯尔随后连续两次助攻他的大学队友多诺万·克林根 (Donovan Clingan) 完成空中接力，接着又命中一记中距离跳投，帮助甜瓜队以 12-4 领先。在奥斯汀队打出一波 8-2 的反击后，卡斯尔再次投篮命中，将比赛带入第一次暂停，比分为 16-12。
奥斯汀队决定祭出由杨瀚森 (Yang Hansen) 和亚尼克·科南·尼德豪泽 (Yanic Konan Niederhauser) 组成的双塔阵容。他们开始在篮下碾压这些体型较小的 NBA 球员，而后者在进攻端大多沉溺于单跳投，奥斯汀队借此以 30-26 反超——距离爆冷仅差 10 分。然而，甜瓜队凭借里德·谢泼德 (Reed Sheppard) 的两记关键三分做出回应，以 34-32 重夺领先。随后卡斯尔两罚全中，哈珀在内线迎着哥哥的防守投中致胜球，完成了一波 12-2 的攻势，以 40-34 锁定胜局。卡斯尔最终得到 6 分 5 助攻，哈珀贡献 4 分 1 抢断。克林根和谢泼德各得 9 分。

第二场：文斯队 vs. 麦迪队
第二场比赛是文斯队的体型优势与麦迪队 (Team T-Mac) 的投射能力的对决。比赛初期投射占据了上风，三记早早命中的三分球让麦迪队以 15-7 领先。暂停后，布莱恩特替补登场，接到德里克·奎恩 (Derrik Queen) 的助攻完成快攻扣篮，将比分追至 19-21。随后他虽然投失了一记快攻三分，但立刻回防封盖了扎卡里·里萨谢 (Zaccharie Risacher) 的上篮，随后 VJ·艾奇科姆 (VJ Edgecombe) 转换三分命中，再次将分差缩小到 22-24。暂停归来后，布莱恩特用一个令人惊叹的转身上篮扳平比分，甚至让当时正在接受采访的安东尼都赞叹不已，随后布莱恩特被替换下场。

此时，文斯队势如破竹，找回了三分手感。在双方战成 29 平后，艾奇科姆包揽了球队最后的 11 分，个人砍下 17 分，带领球队以 41-36 获胜，从而在决赛中促成了一场“马刺内战”。布莱恩特以 4 分 1 篮板的数据结束了本场比赛，毫无疑问，他在球队开局慢热后的反击中起到了关键的火花作用。
第三场：甜瓜队 vs. 文斯队
决赛开场，卡斯尔和哈珀先后助攻克林根命中三分，随后哈珀本人也射入三分，帮助甜瓜队以 9-4 领先。文斯队以一波 6-0 回击，随后哈珀两次罚球命中重夺领先。布莱恩特代表文斯队替补登场，再次点燃球队：他抢断了卡斯尔，并在另一端通过二次进攻抢下进攻篮板命中三分，使球队以 15-11 领先，距离夺冠仅剩 10 分。
甜瓜队在暂停后连续投进两记三分球，比赛陷入拉锯战。艾奇科姆长传找到布莱恩特完成全场空接。随后卡斯尔在三分线外没有机会的情况下，转身过掉布莱恩特完成底线跳投，接着又补扣得手，将甜瓜队带到了胜点边缘：24-23。随后克林根对艾奇科姆犯规（这个判罚本可以挑战，但甜瓜队已经没有暂停了），后者稳稳两罚全中，为文斯队锁定了 25-24 的胜利。
哈珀在决赛中贡献了 8 分 5 篮板 1 助攻，卡斯尔则交出 4 分 3 篮板 1 助攻的数据。布莱恩特得到 5 分 1 篮板，再次扮演了球队的能量源泉，尽管艾奇科姆是当之无愧的 MVP。总体而言，马刺球员表现出色，对于这支人才济济的球队来说，这是一个精彩的全明星周末开局。
明天请继续关注更多全明星赛事动态。周六的活动将于中部时间 (CT) 下午 5:00 开始，哈珀将参加投篮挑战赛 (Shooting Stars Challenge)，布莱恩特将参加扣篮大赛。随后，全明星正赛将于周日中部时间下午 4:00 开始，届时维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 和德阿隆·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 将登场，马刺主帅米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 也将亮相。

Young Spurs stand out as Carter Bryant’s team wins Rising Stars Challenge
It’s officially All-Star Weekend at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, and following the Celebrity All-Star Game, the real NBA events kicked off the with Rising Stars Challenge: a tournament of three teams made up of NBA rookies and sophomores, plus a fourth comprised of G League players. The four teams were drafted by four honorary coaches in Carmelo Anthony, Vince Carter, Tracy McGrady and Austin Rivers. The format featured two first round match-ups, with the first to 40 points winning, and the two winners played in the finale, with the first to 25 points winning the entire event.
The Spurs were well represented in the event, with Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper representing Team Melo, which was coached by Spurs lead assistant coach Sean Sweeney. Carter Bryant, who was a last second fill-in for injured Grizzlies rookie Cedric Coward, was on Team Vince, which was coached by Spurs assistant Corlis Williamson.
Game 1: Team Melo vs. Team Austin
The event began with Team Melo vs. Team Austin. Both Castle and Harper started, with Harper’s first action being blocking his brother, Ron Harper, Jr. Castle, who was MVP of the event last year, then assisted on two straight alley-oops to his college teammate, Donovan Clingan, before hitting a mid-range jumper as Team Melo got out ahead 12-4. After an 8-2 run by Team Austin, Castle hit another jumper to send the game into its first timeout at 16-12.
Team Austin decided to go with double bigs with Yang Hansen and Yanic Konan Niederhauser. They started slicing up the smaller NBA players down low, who were mostly settling for iso-jumpers on the other end, to take a 30-26 lead: 10 points away from the big upset. However, Team Melo responded with two huge threes from Reed Sheppard, getting them back ahead 34-32. Castle then hit two free throws, and Harper hit the game-winning jumper in the paint over his brother to cap off a 12-2 run for the 40-34 win. Castle finished with 6 points and 5 assists, and Harper had 4 points and steal. Clingan and Sheppard had 9 points apiece.

Game 2: Team Vince vs. Team T-Mac
Game 2 was size with Team Vince vs. shooting with Team T-Mac. Shooting dominated early, with three early threes getting Team T-Mac out to a 15-7 lead. Carter Bryant subbed in for Team Vince after a timeout and got a transition dunk off an assist from Derrik Queen to get his team back within two at 19-21. He then missed a transition three but immediately got back to block a Zaccharie Risacher layup, leading to a VJ Edgecombe transition three to again get them within two at 22-24. Out of the timeout, Bryant tied things up with an impressive spinning layup that even awed Carmelo, who was being interviewed at the moment, before subbing out.

By now, Team Vince was on a roll and the one hitting threes, and after things were tied up at 29 apiece, Edgecombe scored the final 11 points for his team to finish with 17 points on the way to a 41-36 victory, setting up a Spurs vs. Spurs match-up in the finale. Bryant finished the match with 4 points and 1 rebound and no doubt played a role in sparking his team after the slow start.
Game 3: Team Melo vs. Team Vince
Both Castle and Harper found Clingan for a threes to open the finale, followed by a Harper three to get Team Melo out to a 9-4 lead. Team Vince responded with a 6-0 run before Harper hit a couple of free throws to retake the lead. Carter entered for Vince and again sparked his team, stealing the ball from Castle and hitting a three off an offensive rebounds at the other end to get his team out to 15-11 lead, ten points away from the win.
Team Melo responded with two straight threes out of a timeout, and it was back and forth from there. Edgecombe found Bryant for a full-court alley-oop. Castle then spun off Bryant for a baseline jumper and a put-back dunk to get Team Melo within a point of the win 24-23 after they couldn’t find a good look from three. Clingan then fouled Edgecombe (on a call that could have been challenged but Melo was out of timeouts), and he hit both free throws to secure the victory for Team Vince, 25-24.
Harper had 8 points, 5 rebounds and an assist in the match, and Castle had 4-3-1. Bryant had 5 points and a rebound and again was the spark plug for his team, even though Edgecombe was far and away the MVP. Overall, the Spurs represented themselves well, and it was a great start to the weekend for a team with plenty of representation.
Check back tomorrow for more All-Star action. Saturday’s events will begin 5:00 CT, with Harper participating in the Shooting Stars Challenge and Bryant in the Slam Dunk Contest. Then, the All-Star Game will begin at 4:00 CT on Sunday, featuring Victor Wembanyama and De’Aaron Fox, as well as Spurs head coach Mitch Johnson.
