旧金山讯——在周三晚上的一场客场大胜中轻松砍下41分和18个篮板后，圣安东尼奥马刺队中锋维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 向 ESPN 的斯科特·范佩尔特 (Scott Van Pelt) 重申，MVP 奖项已成为他的明确目标。
“我确实非常在意这个奖项，”文班亚马告诉 ESPN，“我认为那些入选名人堂的伟大球员——或者说历史上最顶尖的球员——在职业生涯早期都会奋力拼搏，争取拿到一切能拿到的荣誉。如果我想在这些伟人中占据一席之地，我就必须努力不错过任何一个能让自己名垂青史的机会。”
文班亚马和马刺队目前势头正盛。周三晚上，他们造访旧金山，痛击了阵容不整的金州勇士队。马刺队开场不到三分钟就取得了两位数的领先优势，并一路领先，最终以 127-113 赢下比赛。
马刺队目前已取得 10 连胜，而在文班亚马出战的比赛中，他们已经取得了 15 连胜。在那段连胜期间，文班亚马场均贡献 27.9 分和 12.3 个篮板。
这段征程中还包括连续五场比赛至少抓下 15 个篮板，这是自 1995 年丹尼斯·罗德曼 (Dennis Rodman) 以来马刺队球员的最长纪录，超越了蒂姆·邓肯 (Tim Duncan) 和大卫·罗宾逊 (David Robinson) 职业生涯最佳的连续四场纪录。
“哇，”文班亚马在谈到这项数据时表示，“我看过很多[罗德曼]的集锦，大部分是他在公牛队时期的。现在已经见不到像[他]那样的球员了。”
马刺队在过去的 28 场比赛中取得了 26 胜 2 负的战绩，给争夺榜首位置的俄克拉荷马城雷霆队带来了巨大压力。在还剩六场比赛的情况下，雷霆队（60 胜 16 负）领先马刺队（58 胜 18 负）两个胜场，但由于圣安东尼奥在双方交锋中战绩为 4 胜 1 负，因此拥有胜负关系优势。
卫冕 MVP 兼目前的获奖热门谢伊·吉尔杰斯-亚历山大 (Shai Gilgeous-Alexander) 在赛季收官阶段同样表现惊人。俄克拉荷马城在过去的 16 场比赛中赢下了 15 场，而吉尔杰斯-亚历山大再次开启了得分模式，在过去两周内三次得分超过 40 分。
即使文班亚马最终未能获得 MVP，他也已被视为首个最佳防守球员奖项的囊中之物。在周三的比赛前，勇士队主教练史蒂夫·科尔 (Steve Kerr) 称文班亚马“显然是联盟中最好的防守球员”。赛后，科尔继续赞扬文班亚马的进步。
“他现在拥有令人难以置信的自信，”科尔说道，“他在攻防两端看起来都非常清楚自己该做什么。在他职业生涯的头几年，他有时看起来还很青涩。但他现在不再显得稚嫩了，他看起来完全掌控了局面。他统治了篮板。有些球你根本无能为力，好几次空接看起来就像是在扣玩具篮筐一样。他太出色了。”

Wembanyama doubles down on MVP chase after 41-point night
SAN FRANCISCO – After putting up an easy 41 points and 18 rebounds in a Wednesday night runaway road win, San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama reiterated to ESPN’s Scott Van Pelt that the MVP award is squarely in his sights.
“I do care deeply about it,” Wembanyama told ESPN. “I think that of the greats that are in the Hall of Fame – or the best of all time – they have fought and grabbed everything they could grab early on in their career. If I want to make my spot among the greats, I got to try to not miss any occasion to put my name up there.”
Wembanyama and the Spurs are on a heater. They went into San Francisco on Wednesday night and throttled the depleted Golden State Warriors, leading end-to-end and finishing a 127-113 win after jumping out to a double-digit cushion within three minutes.
The Spurs have won 10 straight overall and 15 consecutive games in which Wembanyama has appeared. During that streak, Wembanyama has averaged 27.9 points and 12.3 rebounds per game.
Included in that stretch is five straight games of at least 15 rebounds, which is the longest run by a Spurs player since Dennis Rodman in 1995, passing Tim Duncan’s and David Robinson’s career-best four-game streaks.
“Wow,” Wembanyama said of the statistic. “I watched a lot of highlights [of Rodman], mostly on the Bulls than anything else. They don’t make them like [him] anymore.”
The Spurs are 26-2 in their past 28 games, putting heat on the Oklahoma City Thunder for the top seed. The Thunder (60-16) are two games up on the Spurs (58-18) with six games left, but San Antonio holds the tiebreaker because of a 4-1 head-to-head record.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the defending MVP and current favorite for the award, is also on a closing flourish. Oklahoma City has won 15 of its past 16 games, and Gilgeous-Alexander is on another scoring binge, eclipsing 40 points three times in the past two weeks.
Even if Wembanyama doesn’t win MVP, he is considered a lock for his first Defensive Player of the Year award. Prior to Wednesday’s game, Warriors coach Steve Kerr called Wembanyama “obviously the best defensive player in the league.” After the game, Kerr continued his praise of Wembanyama’s growth.
“He’s got unbelievable confidence now,” Kerr said. “He looks like he knows exactly what to do on both ends. His first couple years, he looked young at times. He doesn’t look young anymore. He just looks like he knows exactly what he’s doing. Dominated the glass. There’s plays you can’t do anything. Several lobs where it looked like a Nerf hoop. He’s brilliant.”
