旧金山 —— 周三在蔡斯中心开赛前一个多小时，金州勇士队主教练史蒂夫·科尔 (Steve Kerr) 被问及，他那支人手短缺且身材矮小的球队打算如何对付身高7英尺4英寸的巨人维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama)。
“噢，我们有办法，”科尔一本正经地说道，“我们不打算透露，不久前我们就想明白了。”
事实证明，勇士队可能需要推倒重来了。
文班亚马全场22投16中，狂砍41分、18个篮板并送出3次盖帽，带领马刺队以127-113轻取勇士。
这并不是一场公平的对决。
金州勇士缺少了9名轮换球员，其中最引人注目的是全明星后卫斯蒂芬·库里 (Stephen Curry)。勇士队只有9名健康球员可用，其中3人本赛季大部分时间都在发展联盟度过。这两名球员——L.J. 克莱尔 (L.J. Cryer) 和内特·威廉姆斯 (Nate Williams)——都进入了首发阵容。
勇士队周三的首发阵容中最高的是6英尺6英寸的德雷蒙德·格林，这让文班亚马和马刺队能够轻松解决掉这支“迷你”勇士。
这场胜利是马刺队的10连胜，也巩固了他们本赛季第二次取得的两位数连胜。
由于比赛早早失去悬念且分差一直维持，文班亚马在短短29分钟内就完成了所有的杀伤。
斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 和朱利安·尚帕尼 (Julian Champagnie) 各为马刺贡献15分，全队共有7人得分上双。
前述的双向合同球员之一内特·威廉姆斯得到18分，领跑勇士队。
以下是周三这场胜利的三大看点，此役过后马刺的战绩提升至58胜18负：
1. 马刺深谙他们的“法式”取胜之道
就像两天前对阵同样身材矮小的芝加哥公牛队一样，马刺充分利用了文班亚马巨大的身高优势。
首节比赛开始仅16秒，文班亚马就在布兰登·波杰姆斯基 (Brandin Podziemski) 身上完成了一次“打三分”，拿下了全场比赛的首个进球。
他在首节就砍下了马刺35分中的17分。他在第一节的6个运动战进球全部来自禁区，其中三个是轻而易举的篮下空接。
半场结束时，文班亚马已经拿到27分和13个篮板，马刺以70-49领先。
下半场比赛势头依旧。
文班亚马追平了本赛季的单场得分纪录——该纪录是他在两天前对阵芝加哥时创造的。他连续5场比赛至少抓下15个篮板，这是队史第二长的纪录。
如果勇士队能让比赛更有竞争性，迫使文班亚马在末节继续出战，他或许能完成职业生涯首次“40+20”的数据。
就目前情况来看，他距离这一神迹仅差2个篮板。
2. 马刺能从这些比赛中收获什么？
不可否认，马刺目前势头正盛，已经拿下了本赛季第二次10连胜。
他们过去的六场胜利分差都达到了两位数。周三击败勇士的比赛，是他们自3月16日客场119-115击败洛杉矶快船以来，客场取胜分差最小的一场。
这场胜利也终结了马刺连续四场客场赢球分差至少25分的势头。
在这段赛程中，马刺面对了一系列伤兵满营的球队，有些甚至比勇士的情况还要糟糕。
值得思考的是，这种轻而易举的胜利在多大程度上能为马刺的季后赛做准备。
接下来的客场之旅难度将会有所提升，马刺将在周四再次对阵快船，随后在周六前往丹佛挑战掘金。
这些比赛应该能让马刺更清楚地了解他们是否已经为季后赛做好了准备。

3. 科尔为文班亚马竞逐MVP“背书”（某种程度上）
文班亚马上周在迈阿密一名记者的要求下，提出了自己竞逐MVP的三大理由，随后在网络上引发热议。
文班亚马提到的第一点是：防守占据了比赛的一半，而他在防守端统治力十足。
科尔对这一观点表示赞同。
“我确实认为攻防兼备的球员通常是赢得比赛和冠军的关键，”科尔说道，“他显然是全联盟最出色的防守球员。”
在周三的比赛之前，文班亚马场均得到24.5分。巧合的是，上一位场均得分不足25分却赢得MVP的球员正是2014-15赛季的库里。
今年被认为是文班亚马最大竞争对手的球员——俄克拉荷马城雷霆队的谢伊·吉尔杰斯-亚历山大 (Shai Gilgeous-Alexander)、洛杉矶湖人队的卢卡·东契奇 (Luka Doncic) 和丹佛掘金队的尼古拉·约基奇 (Nikola Jokic)——场均得分都高于这个数字。
科尔表示，这不应阻碍投票者在本月晚些时候将文班亚马放在MVP选票的首位。
“在我看来，MVP的核心在于对胜利的影响——谁在影响胜利，谁在将球队带向新的高度？”科尔说道，“显然，文班是一个和任何人一样出色的选择。”

3 takeaways as Victor Wembanyama goes wild with 41 against Warriors

SAN FRANCISCO — A little more than an hour before tipoff Wednesday at the Chase Center, Golden State coach Steve Kerr was asked how his undermanned and undersized team planned to handle the 7-foot-4 colossus known as Victor Wembanyama.
“Oh, we got it,” Kerr deadpanned. “We’re not going to reveal it. We figured it out a little while ago.”
It turns out the Warriors might need to go back to the drawing board.
Wembanyama scored 41 points, grabbed 18 rebounds, made 16 of 22 shots and blocked three shots as the Spurs reeled off a 127-113 victory at the Warriors’ expense.
It was not a fair fight.
Golden State was missing nine rotation players, most notably All-Star guard Stephen Curry. The Warriors had nine healthy players available, three of whom have played most of their seasons in the G League. Two of those players — L.J. Cryer and Nate Williams — were in the starting lineup.
Golden State’s tallest starter Wednesday was 6-foot-6 Draymond Green, allowing Wembanyama and the Spurs to make short work of the minuscule Warriors.
The win was the Spurs’ 10th in a row, solidifying their second double-digit winning streak of the season.
Wembanyama did all his damage in 29 minutes as the game got out of hand and stayed there.
Stephon Castle and Julian Champagnie chipped in 15 points apiece for the Spurs, who had seven players in double figures.
Williams, one of the aforementioned two-way players, led the Warriors with 18 points.
Here are three takeaways from Wednesday’s victory, which improved the Spurs to 58-18:
1. Spurs know where their croissant is buttered
As they did two nights earlier against similarly undersized Chicago, the Spurs used Wembanyama’s gargantuan height advantage to, well, their advantage.
Wembanyama scored the game’s first basket 16 seconds into the first quarter with an and-one bucket on Brandin Podziemski.
He had 17 of the Spurs’ 35 points in the opening period. All six of his first-quarter field goals came in the paint. Three of them came on easy-does-it lobs at the rim.
By halftime, Wembanyama was up to 27 points and 13 rebounds, and the Spurs led 70-49.
The beat went on after intermission.
Wembanyama matched a season scoring high — set two nights earlier against Chicago. He ran his string of games with at least 15 rebounds to five straight games, the second longest streak in club history.
Had the Warriors been able to keep things more competitive, rendering Wembanyama’s services necessary down the stretch, he might have ended with the first 40-20 game of his career.
As it stood, he missed it by only two rebounds.
2. What are the Spurs getting out of these games?
The Spurs are undeniably rolling, having posted their second double-digit winning streak of the season.
Their past six victories have each come by double digits. Wednesday’s triumph marked their narrowest margin of victory on the road since a 119-115 win at the L.A Clippers on March 16.
The win over the Warriors did break a string of four straight road victories by at least 25 points.
The Spurs have faced a litany of teams during this stretch as banged up as the Warriors were or worse.
It is worth wondering how much these kinds of easy-does-it victories are preparing the Spurs for the playoffs.
The degree of difficulty ramps up a bit on this road trip, as the Spurs face the Clippers again Thursday before heading to Denver on Saturday.
Those games should give the Spurs a better indication of their playoff readiness.

3. Kerr pleads Wemby’s MVP case (sort of)
Wembanyama made viral headlines last week when — at the behest of a reporter in Miami — he offered a three-pronged argument for himself for MVP.
The first item Wembanyama mentioned: Defense is half the game, and he dominates that end.
It was an assertion with which Kerr concurred.
“I do think two-way players are generally what wins you games and championships,” Kerr said. “He’s obviously the best defensive player in the entire league.”
Wembanayama came into Wednesday’s game averaging 24.5 points. The last player to win MVP while averaging less than 25 per game was, coincidentally enough, Curry in 2014-15.
The players considered Wembanyama’s greatest competition for this year’s award — Oklahoma City’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the Los Angeles Lakers’ Luka Doncic and Denver’s Nikola Jokic — are all averaging more than that.
Kerr said that should not dissuade voters from putting Wembanyama atop their MVP ballots later this month.
“In my mind, the MVP is about impacting winning — who is impacting winning and who is lifting their team to new heights?” Kerr said. “Obviously, Wemby is as good a choice as anybody.”
