本赛季早些时候圣安东尼奥马刺负于夏洛特黄蜂的比赛，或许是今年最令人失望的失利之一……至少对维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 来说是这样。
在马刺主场以 115-102 战胜夏洛特之后，文班亚马告诉亚马逊 Prime (Amazon Prime) 的采访团队，那场输给黄蜂的比赛是他“防守表现最差的一场”。显然，这场比赛是一个弥补遗憾的机会，而文班亚马也用统治级的表现做出了回应。
这位明星大个子砍下了 32 分、12 个篮板、8 次助攻、2 次抢断和 4 次盖帽。由于文班亚马几乎完全封锁了禁区，黄蜂队在内线仅得到 30 分。虽然这不是一项官方统计，但在文班时代，夏洛特在这场比赛中贡献了我见过最多的“望而却步”时刻——他们在同一个进攻回合中多次彻底放弃突破。而在进攻端，没有一名黄蜂球员能限制住文班亚马，他几乎可以在任何想得分的时候轻松入账。
尽管这只是一场无关痛痒的周六日场比赛，但它充分展现了文班亚马和马刺队的整体心态。他们渴望胜利，而当失败降临时，他们会将其视为个人的耻辱。从比赛一开始就能明显感觉到，球队记住了早前输给夏洛特的阵痛。这是一个准备好去竞争的球队该有的心态。当他们在季后赛输球时（放心，他们肯定会输的），他们要么会因此乱了阵脚，要么会激励自己在下一场赢回来。周六的胜利表明，文班亚马和他的队友们拥有赢球者的心态。
关键要点：
- 周六的“法国香草” (French vanilla) 组合时间表现出色。文班亚马的策应能力极其亮眼，他多次送出空接助攻找到卢克·科内特 (Luke Kornet)。这虽不总是一个可持续的阵容，但在文班亚马的外线手感火热时，在内线再安插一个大个子来进一步加固禁区防守并在篮板球上惩罚对手是有意义的。马刺在篮板球上以 54-39 完胜黄蜂。
- 斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 自全明星赛后一直表现出色。他险些再次拿到三双，贡献了 15 分、10 次助攻和 7 个篮板。他还防守了黄蜂队的所有位置，考虑到对方为射手设置了大量的掩护，这绝非易事。赛后，凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson) 表示卡斯尔值得入选防守一阵。
- 马刺的外线命中率为 33%，但统治了禁区。他们在内线得分上以 58-30 领先夏洛特。我们已经谈到了文班亚马是如何封锁内线的，而在进攻端，马刺直捣黄蜂腹地。卡特·布莱恩特 (Carter Bryant) 几次精彩的空切扣篮，凯尔登·约翰逊在内线表现强硬，而达龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 则在禁区投进了极具创造力的进球。当这支球队积极冲击篮筐时，表现要好得多。在过去的两个月里，我们已经多次看到这种风格的比赛。
- 福克斯作为马刺的“定海神针”功不可没。每当黄蜂发起反击时，这位老将后卫总能站出来为圣安东尼奥梳理出流畅的进攻战术，或者亲自解决问题。福克斯在这场胜利中 16 投 6 中得到 17 分。
- 布莱恩特在周六又扣丢了一个关键扣篮。如果我没记错的话，自从球队威胁要剃光他的头发以来，这是他第二次失手了。我们可能在赛季结束前就能看到一个“秃头版”的布莱恩特。

What we learned from the Spurs win over the Hornets
The San Antonio Spurs’ loss to the Charlotte Hornets earlier in the season may have been one of the most disappointing losses of the year… at least if you ask Victor Wembanyama.
After the Spurs’ 115-102 win over Charlotte on their home court, Wembanyama told the Amazon Prime crew that the loss to the Hornets was his “worst defensive game.” It was clear that this game was a chance to make amends. Wembanyama dominated in response.
The star big man had 32 points, 12 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals, and 4 blocks. The Hornets scored just 30 points in the paint because Wembanyama had it almost completely walled off. While not an official stat, Charlotte may have had the most “nopes” I’ve seen against the Spurs in the Wemby era, completely abandoning drives several times in the same possession. On the other end, there wasn’t a single Hornet who could slow down Wembanyama. He could get a basket just about any time he wanted.
This game, despite being a somewhat inconsequential Saturday matinee, shows a lot about Wembanyama and the Spurs’ overall mentality. They want to win, and when they don’t, they take it personally. It was clear from the jump that the team remembered the sting of the earlier loss to Charlotte. That’s the mentality of a team ready to compete. When they lose a playoff game (and rest assured, they will), they can either let it rattle them or get motivated to win the next one. Saturday’s win shows that Wembanyama and his teammates have a winning mentality.
Takeaways:
- The French vanilla minutes on Saturday were great. Wembanyama’s playmaking really stood out as he hit Kornet several times on lobs. It’s not always a sustainable lineup, but in a game when Wembanyama’s perimeter game is seeing a lot of success, it makes sense to throw another big body in there to wall off the paint even more and punish teams on the glass. The Spurs out-rebounded the Hornets 54-39.
- Stephon Castle has been great since the All-Star break. He almost had another triple-double with 15 points, 10 assists, and 7 rebounds. He guarded everyone on the Hornets as well, which is no small feat given all the screening they do for their shooters. After the game, Keldon Johnson said that Castle deserves first-team all-defense.
- The Spurs shot 33% from deep, but dominated the paint. They outscored Charlotte 58-30 inside. We’ve already covered how Wembanyama walled off the paint, but offensively, the Spurs went right at Charlotte inside. Carter Bryant had a few good cuts for dunks, Keldon Johnson was physical inside, and De’Aaron Fox hit creative shots in the paint. The team is so much better when they are aggressively attacking the paint. We’ve seen a lot of that style of play over the course of the last two months.
- Fox deserves a lot of credit for being the Spurs’ steadying hand. Whenever the Hornets would make a run, the veteran guard would be there to get San Antonio into a good offensive set or make something happen himself. Fox had 17 points on 6-16 shooting in the win.
- Bryant missed another big-time dunk on Saturday. If my memory serves me right, that’s his second since the team threatened to shave his head. We may see bald Bryant before the end of the season.
