纽约讯——NBA中恐怕没有哪支球队比马刺更希望二月份能永远停留。
在朱利安·尚帕尼 (Julian Champagnie) 砍下的26分以及全队均衡的火力支援下，马刺队周四在巴克莱中心以126-110大胜布鲁克林篮网。
这是马刺队的11连胜，延续了自2013-14赛季以来球队最长的连胜纪录。
凭借这场胜利，马刺在二月份取得了11胜0负的骄人战绩。这是马刺队史第三次取得单月全胜，也是自2013-14赛季在那年三月打出16胜0负以来的首次。
“感觉球员们正在找到不同的获胜方式，”马刺队主帅米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 说道，“这是成长的标志。”
对于在布鲁克林长大的尚帕尼来说，这无疑是一场完美的家乡保卫战，他全场三分球9投6中。
斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 贡献了18分，并且罚球线上12投10中。马刺在面对死气沉沉的篮网时，上半场便建立起22分的领先优势，此后从未落后。
小迈克尔·波特 (Michael Porter Jr.) 为篮网空砍25分和14个篮板，篮网的战绩跌至15胜43负。
尽管全明星中锋维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 打出了一个以他的标准来看表现平平的夜晚（12分、8个篮板、2次盖帽和2次抢断），但马刺依然赢下了比赛。
以下是周四胜利的三大要点，马刺队将战绩提升至43胜16负，延续了良好的势头：
1. 文班需要休息，且即将获得喘息之机
在周三客场战胜多伦多猛龙后，文班亚马表示，由于全明星周末前后的密集行程，他感到有些疲惫。
在他看来，这也是他在过去三场比赛中投篮手感挣扎的原因。
正如预料，在不到24小时后转战布鲁克林——期间全队在凌晨3点后才抵达位于曼哈顿中城的酒店——这并没有让他恢复体力。

文班亚马周四全场9投3中，犯规数（5次）比进球数还要多。
考虑到这是一场大胜，他的最终数据尚可，但显而易见的是，他的双腿现在像灌了铅一样沉重。
主帅约翰逊表示，即便这是背靠背的第二场，球队也没有考虑让文班亚马轮休。
无论如何，有一点是肯定的：在周四的胜利到周日在麦迪逊广场花园对阵尼克斯的午间场比赛之间，这两天的休息对文班亚马来说至关重要。
2. 约翰逊对青涩的篮网表示同情
篮网在首发阵容中派出了两名新秀（诺兰·特拉奥雷 (Nolan Traore) 和伊戈尔·德明 (Egor Demin)），替补阵容中还有另外两名（丹尼·沃尔夫 (Danny Wolf) 和德雷克·鲍威尔 (Drake Powell)）。
执教全联盟最年轻球队之一的时间并不算太久，约翰逊很能理解篮网主帅约迪·费尔南德斯 (Jordi Fernandez) 的处境。
他说，教导NBA里的青少年球员是一项极具挑战的任务。
“你很难要求一个19岁的孩子去帮助另一个19岁的孩子，”约翰逊说，“这就像让一群刚学游泳的孩子去确保另一个孩子不被淹死一样。”
马刺也并非垂垂老矣。约翰逊在轮换中也派出了迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 和卡特·布莱恩特 (Carter Bryant) 两名新秀。
但马刺的其他轮换球员大多是久经沙场的老兵。马刺首发阵容中年龄最大的是28岁的达龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox)，轮换阵中最年长的是33岁的哈里森·巴恩斯 (Harrison Barnes)。
约翰逊给篮网球迷的建议是？
“你需要退后一步，给予他们宽容和耐心，因为他们还在学习如何在这个联盟中生存，”约翰逊说道。
传达的信息很明确：即使又是一个失败的赛季，篮网也不必对年轻一代失去希望。
篮网只需要在下一届选秀中选中一个文班式的天才，就能重回正轨。
3. 马刺两名“纽约客”的完美之夜
在这场胜利中，尚帕尼不仅打出了自1月20日以来的最高得分，他的另一位纽约籍（广义上）队友也在大苹果城的首秀中表现出色。
新秀后卫迪伦·哈珀出生于哈德逊河对岸的新泽西州富兰克林湖，距离巴克莱中心约一小时车程。
毫无疑问，哈珀将纽约视为故乡。
在家乡进行的职业生涯首场NBA比赛中，哈珀得到12分并送出全场最高的7次助攻。
下半场的一个回合展现了哈珀这一晚的状态：当时篮网在中场附近对他形成了合围。
哈珀不知怎地从两名防守队员中间钻了过去，在短暂失去对球的控制后重新掌控球权，随后冲入空无一人的禁区完成了一记势大力沉的扣篮。
对于尚帕尼和哈珀来说，随着马刺留在纽约等待周日对阵尼克斯的下一场比赛，“纽约心态”仍将延续。

NEW YORK – No team in the NBA wishes February could stick around more than the Spurs.
Powered by 26 points from Julian Champagnie and a well-rounded scoring effort, the Spurs romped past Brooklyn 126-110 on Thursday at the Barclays Center.
It marked the Spurs’ 11th victory in a row, extending their longest winning streak since 2013-14.
With the win, the Spurs finished February a pristine 11-0. It was the third undefeated month in Spurs history, and first since the 2013-14 squad went 16-0 in March.
“It feels like the players are finding different ways to win,” Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said. “That’s a sign of growth.”
It was quite a homecoming for the Brooklyn-born Champagnie, who made 6 of his 9 3-point tries.
Stephon Castle added 18 points and went 10 of 12 from the foul line for for the Spurs, who burst out to a 22-point lead against the moribund Nets in the first half and never trailed.
Michael Porter Jr. scored 25 points with 14 rebounds in a losing effort for Brooklyn, which dropped to 15-43.
The Spurs won despite a pedestrian night – by his standards – from All-Star center Victor Wembanyama, who had 12 points, eight rebounds, two blocks and two steals.
Here are three takeaways from Thursday’s victory, as the Spurs kept the good times rolling in improving to 43-16:
1. Wemby could use some time off, and will get it
After Wednesday’s victory in Toronto, Wembanyama said his personal schedule – beginning with the All-Star break – has been catching up to him.
In his mind, that is what is fueling his rough shooting stretch over the past three games.
As expected, another game less than 24 hours later in Brooklyn, which featured the team not arriving at its mid-town Manhattan hotel until after 3 a.m. the night before did not exactly rejuvenate him.

Wembanyama was 3 for 9 from the floor Thursday, posting more fouls (five) than field goals made.
His final line was fine, especially given the blowout nature of the victory, but his legs are clearly leaden at this point.
Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said the team did not consider sitting Wembanyama against the Nets, even though it was the second night of a back-to-back.
This much is clear, however: The two days off between Thursday’s win and Sunday’s matinee against the Knicks at Madison Square Garden should do Wembanyama good.
2. Johnson empathizes with callow Nets
Brooklyn used a pair of rookies in the starting lineup (Nolan Traore and Egor Demin) and had two more in the bench rotation (Danny Wolf and Drake Powell).
Not too far removed from coaching one of the youngest team in the league, Mitch Johnson can sympathize with his Nets counterpart, Jordi Fernandez.
The task of teaching teenagers in the NBA is a challenging one, he said.
“It’s hard to ask another 19-year-old to help another 19-year-old,” Johnson said. “It’s like asking a bunch of kids who are just learning how to swim to make sure the other one doesn’t drown.”
The Spurs aren’t exactly decrepit. Johnson fielded a pair of rookies themselves in Dylan Harper and Carter Bryant.
The rest of Johnson’s rotation has been filled out mostly by veterans who have been through at least some level of NBA battles. The Spurs’ oldest starter is the 28-year-old De’Aaron Fox. Their oldest rotation player is 33-year-old Harrison Barnes.
Johnson’s advice for Nets fans?
“You have to take a step back and give them grace and be patient, because they’re learning how to survive in this league,” Johnson said.
The message is clear. Even in the midst of another lost season, Brooklyn need not give up hope on its corps of young up-and-comers.
All the Nets need is a Wembanyama type in the next draft and they are off and running.
3. It was good night for both of Spurs’ New Yorkers
Not only did Champagnie dust off his highest-scoring game since Jan. 20 in the win, his fellow New York(ish) native enjoyed a solid Big Apple debut as well.
Rookie guard Dylan Harper was born across the Hudson River in Franklin Lakes, N.J., about an hour’s drive from the Barclays Center.
Make no mistake. Harper considers New York home.
Playing in his first NBA game in his hometown, Harper scored 12 points and handed out a team-high seven assists.
One play in the second half told the tale of Harper’s night, when he the Nets had him dead to rights in a trap near half court.
Harper somehow split the pair of Brooklyn defenders, briefly losing control of the ball, before re-gathering and charging through a wide open lane for a thundering dunk.
For Champagnie and Harper, the New York state of mind continues as the Spurs hang around to await the Spurs’ next game Sunday against the Knicks.
