维克托·文班亚马贡献27分、18个篮板、6次助攻和5次盖帽，斯蒂芬·卡斯尔得到21分和8次助攻，帮助马刺挡住了热火在第四节的反扑。
洛杉矶——对于那些正准备对阵马刺的防守球探报告的教练们来说，这将是一个漫长的写作之夜。
马刺拥有八名场均得分达到或超过10分的球员，其中维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 位居榜首。相关的战术分析报告可能和这位22岁法国人爱看的科幻小说一样厚。
“显然，我们知道文班有多么出色的天赋和影响力，但这从来不是一个人的表演，”底特律活塞队主教练J.B.·比克斯塔夫 (J.B. Bickerstaff) 表示，“他们拥有许多极具天赋的外线球员和锋线球员，这些人打得非常有侵略性，会给你施加巨大的压力。”
洛杉矶快船队将于周一晚上在主场迎战马刺，这可能是季后赛首轮的潜在预演，他们对这支西部排名第二的球队令人印象深刻的得分深度非常熟悉。在3月6日于弗罗斯特银行中心进行的一场比赛中，马刺在落后25分的情况下完成逆转，以116-112战胜快船，当时马刺有六人得分上双。
马刺造访直觉穹顶球馆 (Intuit Dome) 时，文班亚马场均得到24.3分，达龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 19.1分，斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 16.6分，德文·瓦塞尔 (Devin Vassell) 14.2分，凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson) 12.8分，迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 11.2分，朱利安·尚帕尼 (Julian Champagnie) 11.1分，以及哈里森·巴恩斯 (Harrison Barnes) 10.2分。
文班亚马曾30次领跑全队得分，福克斯有14次，但其他七名球员也曾做到过这一点，其中包括场均仅得到6.7分的卢克·科内特 (Luke Kornet)。
这种均衡的得分表现是马刺队史最佳（前提是每位球员至少出场50场），甚至最终可能成为NBA历史之最。它甚至超越了马刺2013-14赛季那支“行云流水 (Beautiful Game)”的冠军班底，那支球队在NBA总决赛中用五场比赛击败了迈阿密热火，当时有六名球员场均得分上双，且出场数均不少于66场。
1976-77赛季的马刺队（球队加入NBA的第一年）同样有六人场均得分上双，乔治·格文 (George Gervin，23.1分) 和拉里·凯南 (Larry Kenon，21.9分) 位居榜首。这六名球员的出场数均在78场以上。
2023-24赛季的印第安纳步行者曾有九人场均得分上双，但其中两人未达到50场的门槛。1966-67赛季的费城76人有六人得分上双，但其表现尤为突出，因为这六名球员在当时81场常规赛中至少出战80场，且场均得分都在12.0分以上。在威尔特·张伯伦 (Wilt Chamberlain，24.1分)、哈尔·格里尔 (Hal Greer，22.1分)、切特·沃克 (Chet Walker，19.3分) 和比利·坎宁安 (Billy Cunningham，18.5分) 的带领下，那支76人以68胜13负的战绩（当时联盟纪录）夺冠，场均得到125.2分，是NBA冠军球队的历史最高纪录。
马刺在季后赛能走多远仍有待观察，但他们均衡的得分表现已在联盟争夺者中脱颖而出。
“任何一个夜晚，都有人能爆发，”瓦塞尔表示，“这是最棒的部分。我们真的不在乎谁是主角。我们知道我们有文班、福克斯和斯蒂芬。这些球员肯定能拿到他们的数据。当对手无法从我或者朱（尚帕尼）身边移开防守时，他们的压力就小多了。我们还有迪伦和KJ（约翰逊）从替补席挺身而出，打得非常有侵略性。”
“当你拥有这么多每晚能拿20分甚至30分的人时，防守端真的很难制定针对性战术。”
就像由蒂姆·邓肯 (Tim Duncan)、马努·吉诺比利 (Manu Ginobili) 和托尼·帕克 (Tony Parker) 领衔的“行云流水”时期一样，现在的马刺也信奉格雷格·波波维奇 (Gregg Popovich) 宣扬的“从好球到机会球 (good-to-great)”的哲学，强调球权移动、分享球，以及为了更好的出手机会而放弃不错的出手。
那支球队场均25.2次助攻。今年的这支球队场均27.4次。
马刺代理主教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 表示，马刺在本赛季开始时就下定决心要“为彼此”而战，通过在“掩护、空间和传球这些基本功”上的卓越表现，打造他口中“功能完善、均衡发展的进攻体系”。
“最大的因素在于，这支球队致力于在每次进攻中精益求精地寻找最佳投篮机会，”约翰逊说道，“我们有很多球员可以随时自己创造投篮机会。而且即使有些投篮对其他人来说并非高百分比机会，我们也有很多人能把球投进。这种团队分享球的承诺让球总能找到空位球员，让不同的球员都能迎来爆发之夜。当所有人都在努力通过配合来成就那个（状态火热的）队友时，这会产生巨大的能量。”
但得分均衡最重要的因素还是人员配置。
“我们都能得分，”哈珀表示，“这就是这支球队的魅力所在。我们都能运球，拥有成群的持球者和得分手。所以，并不是每个晚上都需要靠文班一个人。作为一个集体，我们可以尽己所能地站出来帮助他。”
除了“极具天赋”外，马刺在“所有位置上”都非常全能，丹佛掘金队助理教练大卫·阿德尔曼 (David Adelman) 评价道。他所指导的掘金队同样有七人场均得分上双，但其中四人的出场次数不足50场。
这种全能性正是马刺总经理布莱恩·莱特 (Brian Wright) 多年来致力于实现的，他一直在选拔适应如今“无位置”篮球风格的球员。
“他们可以打小阵容，也可以根据需要变大。联盟中最好的球队都能做到这一点，”阿德尔曼说，“他们可以改变风格。我们刚在俄克拉荷马城雷霆队身上看到了这一点（当他们面临伤病时）。他们基本上打的是四后卫加一个空间型五号位。那本身就是一个挑战，但他们能做到。马刺现在的阵容配置也是如此。”
阿德尔曼指出，马刺的挑战将在季后赛到来。
“到了季后赛，如果你能把节奏降下来，显然很难再让八个人场均得分上双，”阿德尔曼说道，“我们在丹佛经历过这些。我们有过非常出色的常规赛。然后当你进入那个淘汰赛阶段，比赛节奏慢下来之后。但在常规赛中，以马刺现在的节奏，这确实是个大麻烦。”
与比克斯塔夫一样，阿德尔曼认为归根结底是因为马刺拥有深厚且极具天赋的阵容。
“达龙·福克斯是一名全明星控卫，你必须重兵防守他，确保不让他走左手。卡斯尔像一头公牛，他能杀到篮下。所有这些人都是技术娴熟、才华横溢的进攻球员，”阿德尔曼说，“文班很特殊，他是个集锦制造机，但这支球队里还有很多优秀的球员。”

How the Spurs’ impressive scoring depth keeps opponents up at night
Wembanyama had 27 points, 18 rebounds, six assists and five blocks and Stephon Castle added 21 points and eight assists as the Spurs held off a fourth-quarter charge from the Heat.
LOS ANGELES — Coaches preparing defensive scouting reports for a game against the Spurs face a long night of writing.
With the Spurs boasting eight players averaging 10 or more points per game, a list topped by Victor Wembanyama, the breakdowns can be as thick as some of the science-fiction novels the 22-year-old Frenchman enjoys reading.
“Obviously, we know how talented Wemby is and how impactful he can be, but it’s not a one-man show ever there,” Detroit coach J.B. Bickerstaff said. “They have a bunch of talented perimeter players and wings who can be extremely aggressive and put a ton of pressure on you.”
The Los Angeles Clippers, who host the Spurs on Monday night in a potential first-round playoff preview, are well acquainted with the impressive scoring depth of the No. 2 team in the Western Conference. In overcoming a 25-point deficit to claim a 116-112 victory over the Clippers on March 6 at the Frost Bank Center, the Spurs landed six players in double figures.
The Spurs will arrive at Intuit Dome with Wembanyama averaging 24.3 points per game, Fox 19.1, Stephon Castle 16.6, Devin Vassell 14.2, Keldon Johnson 12.8, Dylan Harper 11.2, Julian Champagnie 11.1 and Harrison Barnes 10.2.
Wembanyama has led the team in scoring 30 times and Fox 14, but seven other players have also done it, including Luke Kornet, who averages 6.7 points a game.
The balanced scoring is the best in Spurs history, with the qualifier being a minimum of 50 games played for each player, and it also might eventually be the best in NBA history. It even tops the Spurs’ 2013-14 “Beautiful Game” squad that beat Miami in five games in the NBA Finals and featured six players averaging 10-plus points, all of whom logged at least 66 games.
The 1976-77 team, the Spurs’ first NBA squad, also had six players average 10-plus, with George Gervin (23.1) and Larry Kenon (21.9) topping the list. All six played 78 games or more.
The 2023-24 Indiana Pacers had nine players average 10-plus, but two fell short of the 50-game threshold. The 1966-67 Philadelphia 76ers had six players average 10-plus, but it stands out because they all averaged at least 12.0 points per game while appearing in at least 80 games in what was then an 81-game regular season. Led by Wilt Chamberlain (24.1), Hal Greer (22.1), Chet Walker (19.3) and Billy Cunningham (18.5), the Sixers won the NBA title after finishing 68-13, a league record at the time, and averaging 125.2 points, the most ever for an NBA champion.
It remains to be seen how far the Spurs can go in the playoffs, but their balanced scoring stands out among the league’s contenders.
“Any night, somebody can get off,” Vassell said. "That’s the best part of it. We really don’t care whose night it is. We know we’ve got Vic, we’ve got Fox, we’ve got Steph. Those guys are going to get their numbers. It makes it easy on them when (defenses) can’t help off of me and Ju (Champagnie). You’ve got Dylan and KJ (Johnson) coming off the bench and being aggressive.
“It’s just hard to game plan against when you have so many people who can get you 20 and sometimes 30 a night.”
Like the “Beautiful Game” team led by Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker, the current Spurs embrace the “good-to-great” philosophy preached by Gregg Popovich that emphasized movement, sharing the ball and passing up a good shot for an even better one.
That team averaged 25.2 assists per game. This year’s team averages 27.4.
Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said the Spurs entered the season determined to play “for each other” by excelling at the “fundamentals of screening and spacing and passing,” hallmarks of what he called a “very functional, well-balanced offense.”
“The biggest factor is it’s a team committed to trying to be diligent in finding the best shot on every possession,” Johnson said. “We have a lot of guys that can go get a shot whenever they want. And we have a lot of guys that can make a lot of those shots even when they may not be high percentage for everybody else. And to have that commitment to share the ball as a group has really allowed the ball to find open people and to have different guys have big nights. And when you have people committed to and putting energy into trying to help compliment that person (having a big night), it goes a long way.”
But the biggest factor in the balanced scoring has been personnel.
“We can all score,” Harper said.“That’s the beauty of this team. We can all dribble the ball. we have a bunch of ball handlers and a bunch of scorers. So every night, it’s not going to be Vic’s night. As a collective group, we can come and help him out however we can.”
In addition to being “extremely talented,” the Spurs are versatile “at all positions,” said Denver coach David Adelman, who guides a Nuggets team with seven players averaging 10-plus, although four have appeared in under 50 games.
That versatility is something Spurs general manager Brian Wright has been working for years to achieve while drafting players who fit today’s “position-less” game.
“They can play small ball. They can go bigger if they want to. The best teams in our league can do that,” Adelman said. “They can change their style. We just saw that with Oklahoma City (when it was dealing with injuries). They basically played four guards and a stretch five. And that was a challenge in itself, but they can do that. And that’s the roster (the Spurs) have.”
The challenge for the Spurs will come in the playoffs, Adelman said.
“When you get to the playoffs, if you can slow the pace down, obviously it’s harder to have eight guys scoring double figures,” Adelman said. “We’ve been through that in Denver. We’ve had really good years. Then you get to that tournament and the game slows down. But in the regular season with the pace (the Spurs) play at, it’s a problem.”
Like Bickerstaff, Adelman said it all boils down to the Spurs having a deep, talented roster.
“De’Aaron Fox is an All-Star point guard you have to load up to and you have to make sure you’re not giving him his left hand. Castle is a bull. He gets to the rim. All these guys are very skilled, talented offensive players,” Adelman said. “Wemby is special and a highlight factory, but there is a lot of good players on this team.”
