底特律讯 —— 在这场被视为潜在总决赛预演的较量中，圣安东尼奥马刺队拒绝让底特律活塞队在场上横行霸道，他们用强硬的态度和出众的天赋回应了对手的身体对抗。
周一晚上，维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 砍下21分、17个篮板和6次盖帽，德文·瓦塞尔 (Devin Vassell) 贡献28分，圣安东尼奥马刺队以114-103击败了底特律活塞队。
“这绝对是一个让我们确认了进步，也确认了潜力的夜晚，”文班亚马表示，“这是一个很好的考验。”
马刺队通过了这次考验——即便他们的当家球星在投篮手感上有些挣扎。
文班亚马全场16投仅6中，但他的队友们弥补了这一点：瓦塞尔投进了7记三分球，另有三名队友得分上双。马刺队全场三分球40投18中。
“我们知道文班有多么出众的天赋和影响力，但他们并不是一个人的球队，”活塞队主教练 J.B. 比克斯塔夫 (J.B. Bickerstaff) 说道，“他们拥有一群极具天赋的外线球员。”
马刺队目前正处于赛季最长的九连胜中，在西部排名仅次于卫冕冠军俄克拉荷马城雷霆队。
作为东部领头羊，此前已经取得五连胜的活塞队将于周三晚上主场迎战俄克拉荷马城。这又是他们检验自己与联盟顶级球队差距的绝佳机会。
“无论对手是谁，我们的小伙子们都渴望迎接这些挑战，”比克斯塔夫说道。
在斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 几乎全场的贴身防守下，凯德·坎宁安 (Cade Cunningham) 全场26投仅5中，最终得到16分和10次助攻。
“虽然我不知道季后赛是什么样子的，但我知道我们需要这种（强硬的）比赛强度，”文班亚马说。这是他在马刺队的第三个赛季，而这支球队自2019年以来就再未踏入过季后赛。
与此同时，底特律活塞队正试图在本赛季更进一步，力争自2008年以来首次在季后赛中取得突破。
活塞队上赛季完成了联盟历史上最显著的逆袭之一，并在季后赛首轮对阵纽约尼克斯队的比赛中终结了季后赛15连败，但最终遗憾出局。
在对阵马刺的这场比赛中，上半场双方火药味十足。
坎宁安在一次进攻中挥动手臂撞倒了卡斯尔，被吹罚进攻犯规。马刺队前锋 凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson) 随即推搡坎宁安予以回应，而最近刚被联盟禁赛的活塞队中锋 杰伦·杜伦 (Jalen Duren) 则用右手手指指着约翰逊的面门。
“这极大地激发了我们全队的斗志，因为我们绝不会退缩，”卡斯尔说道。
在经过视频回放后，裁判在第二节胶着的比赛中判罚约翰逊和杜伦各一次技术犯规。
本月早些时候，NBA 对中锋 以赛亚·斯图尔特 (Isaiah Stewart) 处以禁赛七场的处罚，原因是他在底特律对阵夏洛特的比赛中离开替补席参与冲突。马刺队到访时，他仍在服刑。而杜伦此前也因挑起冲突被禁赛两场。
文班亚马表示活塞队打的是“霸凌式篮球”，并补充说他很高兴能体验到活塞这种充满身体对抗的球风。
“这可能是联盟中最擅长这种打法的球队了，”他说。
事实证明，马刺队在面对像活塞这样的球队时，应对得游刃有余。
“他们会考验你的强硬程度，”马刺队主教练 米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 表示，“底特律队只是在规则的边缘游走，我认为他们并没有逾矩。”

Spurs pass ‘good test’ in physical clash with Pistons
DETROIT – The San Antonio Spurs refused to let the Detroit Pistons rough them up, responding to physical play with toughness and talent, in a potential preview of the NBA Finals.
Victor Wembanyama had 21 points, 17 rebounds and six blocks, Devin Vassell scored 28 and San Antonio beat Detroit 114-103 on Monday night.
“It’s definitely a night where we confirmed progression and confirmed potential as well,” Wembanyama said. “That was a good test.”
The Spurs passed it – even with their superstar struggling with his shot.
Wembanyama was 6-of-16 and his teammates more than made up for it with Vassell making seven 3-pointers and three other teammates scoring in double figures. The Spurs combined to make 18 of 40 shots beyond the arc.
“We know how talented Wemby is and how impactful he can be, but it’s not a one-man show over there,” Pistons coach J.B. Bickerstaff said. “They have a bunch of talented perimeter players.”
The Spurs have won a season-high nine games in a row and trail only the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference.
The Eastern Conference-leading Pistons, who had won five straight, host Oklahoma City on Wednesday night in another opportunity to find out how they measure up against the league’s best teams.
“No matter who the opponent is, our guys are looking forward to those challenges,” Bickerstaff said.
Cade Cunningham ended up missing 21 of 26 shots and finishing with 16 points and 10 assists with Stephon Castle guarding him most of the game.
“I don’t know what the playoffs are like, but I know we’re going to need some of that,” said Wembanyama, who is in his third season with a franchise that hasn’t been in the postseason since 2019.
Detroit, meanwhile, is trying to take the next step this season by advancing in the playoffs for the first time since 2008.
The Pistons had one of the most remarkable turnarounds in league history last season and ended a 15-game losing streak in the playoffs in the first round against the New York Knicks, but they were eliminated.
Against the Spurs, tempers flared in the first half.
Cunningham was called for an offensive foul after extending his arms and knocking Castle down on the court. Spurs forward Keldon Johnson responded by pushing Cunningham and Pistons center Jalen Duren, who was recently suspended by the league, pointed his right finger in Johnson’s face.
“That sparked a lot of energy on our team because we’re not going to back down,” Castle said.
After a review, Johnson and Duren were called for technical fouls in the second quarter of the closely contested game.
The NBA suspended center Isaiah Stewart for seven games earlier this month after he left the bench during a fight in Detroit’s game at Charlotte, and he was still serving the suspension during San Antonio’s visit. Duren was forced to sit for two games for initiating the altercation.
Wembanyama said Detroit plays “bully ball,” and added that he was glad to experience the Pistons’ physical style.
“This is probably the team that is most capable of playing that ball,” he said.
The Spurs, it turns out, can handle themselves just fine against teams like the Pistons.
“They are going to test your toughness,” Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said. “Detroit just toes the line. I don’t think they cross it.”
