有时你亲眼目睹一些事物时，瞬间就会明白它们是无法被复刻的。这就像特洛伊人在目睹阿喀琉斯横扫千军时的感受，或是乐迷们看着吉米·亨德里克斯用牙齿弹奏吉他时的心境。观看维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 锁死禁区时的感觉也大抵如此。
当然，威尔特·张伯伦 (Wilt Chamberlain)、比尔·拉塞尔 (Bill Russell) 和哈基姆·奥拉朱旺 (Hakeem Olajuwon) 作为联盟历史上最高产的盖帽手，他们的表现同样出色甚至更胜一筹，但在当今 NBA，没人的防守威慑力能达到文班的水平。他的盖帽总数比排在第二位的杰·赫夫 (Jay Huff) 多出 26 个，而后者本赛季还比他多打了 14 场比赛。
别忘了，文班亚马在 50 场比赛中录得的盖帽数（151 个）比他的失误（125 次）和犯规（133 次）都要多。事实上，本赛季没有任何一位知名防守者的盖帽数能超过其犯规数。他进入联盟时就是一名备受瞩目的防守球员，而现在他变得更擅长同时防守两名球员。他的身体天赋在覆盖空间方面提供了巨大帮助，但他在场上的那份狡黠更应得到赞赏。
就他而言，他利用独特的臂展、体型和灵活性，能够用左右手分别干扰投篮。球员用双手都能投篮会被赞誉为“左右开弓”，也许他用左右手都能盖帽也该得到相应的称赞。他看起来就像一名橄榄球场上的游离安全卫，在专注于盯防对象的同时，用眼神迷惑了四分卫，随即突然将注意力转向迎面而来的持球者。
这是他应对对手在篮下畏首畏尾的策略。能够自如运用左手或右手，也会让对手更难通过战术安排将他排除在防守体系之外。也许这些技巧能帮助他很快再次打出盖帽上双的比赛。顺便说一句，他职业生涯至今只有两场比赛做到了这一点。
凭借出色的身体控制能力和本能，如果他愿意，他或许能像张伯伦一样成为一名顶级的排球运动员。瑞安·拉祖基 (Ryan Razooky) 在 Instagram 上制作了一段精彩视频，重点展示了文班的“蛇眼”诱导（眼神欺骗）和左右手轮番盖帽。
马刺队的防守如此强悍，部分原因在于盖帽带来的余震。盖帽像被晃倒一样能摧毁对手的斗志，通常会让受挫者丧失活力。当一个人的投篮被防守者的非惯用手钉在篮板上，并引起观众的阵阵欢呼时，只有心理素质极其强大的球员才能保持侵略性。
切特·霍姆格伦 (Chet Holmgren) 和鲁迪·戈贝尔 (Rudy Gobert) 都是身高超过 7 英尺、拥有出色防守时机的长人。也许他们可以借鉴这种“蛇眼”盖帽的技巧，但很难想象他们能像文班那样高效地使用左右两手，因为他们没有同等级别的上肢控制力。这并不能改变他们是顶级防守者的事实，但能同时运用双手盖帽，就像拳击中的后仰闪避同时在远距离击打对手。
正是这些特质让人推测，只要文班能达到最低参赛场次要求（65 场），年度最佳防守球员（DPOY）的桂冠就在不远处等着他。防守的实质内容固然最重要，但也应该考虑“风格分”。

Victor Wembanyama is adding his own flavor to the defense
Sometimes you see something and instantly know it cannot be replicated. It must have been what the Trojans thought when witnessing Achilles vanquish their forces, or what concert goers reasoned when watching Jimi Hendrix play guitar with his teeth. It’s not much different when watching Victor Wembanyama lock up the lane.
Of course, Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, and Hakeem Olajuwon, who are some of the league’s most prolific shot blockers, were just as good or better at it, yet there’s no one in the NBA who can do it on Wemby’s level. He’s got 26 more than the next man, Jay Huff, who has played in 14 more games this season.
Keep in mind that Wembanyama has recorded more blocks (151) than turnovers (125) and fouls (133) through 50 games. In fact, none of the other big-name defenders have logged more blocks than fouls this season. He came into the league as a noteworthy defender, and he’s gotten better at guarding two players at once. His physical gifts help significantly as he covers more ground, but he should get more credit for being cunning.
In his case, he uses unique reach, size and agility to deter shots with both hands. Players get praise for being ambidextrous when they shoot with both hands, but maybe he should get some for blocking with each as well. He looks like a free safety who has fooled a quarterback with his eyes when focusing on his man then shifting attention to the incoming ball handler.
It’s his counter for opponents being tentative when he’s around the rim. Being able to use the right or left will also make it harder for opponents to scheme him out. Perhaps these tactics will help him have a double-figure block game soon. He’s only had two in his carer, by the way.
He could probably turn into a terrific volleyball player like Chamberlain if he wanted to, with his body control and instincts. Ryan Razooky made a great clip on Instagram highlighting the snake-eyes and blocks with each hand.
Part of the reason the Spurs’ defense is so potent is because of the aftershock of the blocks. They demoralize opponents similarly to getting crossed up, and usually make the person affected lose their vigor. It takes a special player to remain aggressive when their shot is pinned to the backboard by the defender’s off-hand, causing the roar of the crowd.
Chet Holmgren and Rudy Gobert are both long seven-footers with great timing. Maybe they could steal the snake-eyes block trick, but it’s hard to see them being effective with each hand since they don’t have the same level of upper-body control. It doesn’t change the fact that they are fantastic defenders, but being able to use both hands is like being able to lean back in boxing, tagging the opponent at range.
This is the type of stuff that makes one speculate that Wemby has the Defensive Player of the Year crown waiting for him if he crosses the minimum games requirement (65). Substance is mainly what counts, but there should be consideration for style points, too.
