圣安东尼奥——周五，在圣安东尼奥马刺队以 139-120 击败达拉斯独行侠队的比赛中，维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 砍下 40 分、13 个篮板、5 次助攻和 2 次盖帽，从而达到了赛季末奖项评选所需的 65 场出赛门槛。
“我确定他明天会感到酸痛，但他表现得很出色，”马刺队主教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 说道。
文班亚马在周一对阵费城 76 人队的比赛中左肋骨挫伤并因此缺席了一场比赛，此番回归后，他本赛季第五次单场至少砍下 40 分和 10 个篮板，追平了名人堂成员大卫·罗宾逊 (David Robinson)（1993-94 赛季）保持的马刺队史单赛季此类表现场次纪录。文班亚马本场出战 26 分钟，帮助圣安东尼奥将全明星赛后的战绩提升至 24 胜 3 负。
比赛中，文班亚马不时因疼痛而面露难色，并将手放在受伤的肋骨上，但这并未影响他的表现。在第一节，文班亚马 8 投 6 中连得 16 分，并抢下 5 个篮板，送出 1 次盖帽。
“我试图在保持对比赛尊重的同时，尽可能地保护它（受伤的肋骨），”文班亚马说道，“但感觉还好。它并没有太困扰我，只是在某些特定时刻或特定碰撞下会感到疼痛。”
作为 NBA 年度最佳防守球员的热门人选，文班亚马对达到 65 场比赛的门槛表示如释重负，称其为“勾选了一个已完成的选项”。同时，他也对凯德·坎宁安 (Cade Cunningham)、安东尼·爱德华兹 (Anthony Edwards) 和卢卡·东契奇 (Luka Doncic) 等球员表示了同情，这些球员因伤病导致出场次数不足，失去了评选赛季末奖项的资格（预计东契奇将提出申诉）。
随后，这位法国人迅速反客为主，向在场的记者们提出了问题。
“让我问你们一个问题，”文班亚马说，“你们认为赛季出勤率达到百分之多少才应该是那个‘门槛’？”
记者们给出了从 75% 到 80% 不等的答案，随后一名媒体成员建议不应设立门槛，因为出场场次并不一定能衡量一名球员的影响力。
“我认为这种说法很有道理，”文班亚马说，“因为如果一个人打了 50 场比赛，场均 35 分钟，那就是 50 乘以 35，总共 1750 分钟，对吧？而如果一个人打了 75 场比赛，场均 20 分钟，那总共只有 1500 分钟。”
这位 22 岁的年轻人说话间便在脑海中飞快地完成了心算。
“在我看来，不设限制是一个很好的观点，”他说，“这是一种看法。但在我看来，75% 的出勤率会是一个比较合理的标准。那将是 61.5 场比赛，对吧？所以是 62 场？这里面有一些有趣的问题。我不认为今年会有例外发生，我觉得那样会有失公允。但我们可以看看最终结果如何。”

Victor Wembanyama hits 65 games as he checks another ‘box’
SAN ANTONIO – Victor Wembanyama reached the 65-game threshold for postseason awards eligibility Friday with a 40-point outing that included 13 rebounds, five assists and two blocks in a 139-120 win over the Dallas Mavericks.
“I’m sure he’ll be sore tomorrow, but he made it out good,” San Antonio Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said.
Returning from a one-game absence after bruising a left rib Monday against the Philadelphia 76ers, Wembanyama produced his fifth game this season with at least 40 points and 10 rebounds to tie Hall of Famer David Robinson (1993-94) for the most such games in a season in Spurs history. Wembanyama played 26 minutes to help San Antonio improve to 24-3 since the All-Star break.
Wembanyama grimaced in pain at times and placed a hand on his injured rib, but none of that affected his performance. In the first quarter, Wembanyama reeled off 16 points on 6-of-8 shooting with five rebounds and a block.
“I tried to protect [the injured rib] as much as possible while still being respectful of the game,” Wembanyama said. “But it was OK. It didn’t bother me that much, just a few times where it was a specific moment or specific hit where it was painful.”
The favorite to win NBA Defensive Player of the Year, Wembanyama expressed relief about reaching the 65-game threshold, calling it “a box that’s [been] checked” while also displaying empathy for players such as Cade Cunningham, Anthony Edwards and Luka Doncic who are ineligible for postseason awards because they haven’t played in enough games due to injuries (Doncic is expected to appeal).
The Frenchman then quickly turned the tables on the reporters in the room.
“Let me ask you a question,” Wembanyama said. “What percentage of the season do you think should be the [threshold]?”
Reporters tossed out varying answers from 75% of the season to 80% before one media member suggested that no threshold should exist because the number of games played doesn’t necessarily measure a player’s impact.
“I think that’s a good way to put it,” Wembanyama said. “Because a guy that plays 50 games, 35 minutes a game, that’s 50 times 35. That’s 1,750 [minutes], right? And if a guy plays 75 games at 20 minutes, it’s 1,500 [minutes].”
The 22-year-old calculated the math in his head just as quickly as he spoke.
“It’s a good view in my opinion to not have a limit,” he said. “It’s one opinion. Seventy-five percent of the games, in my opinion, would be a logical thing. That would be 61.5 games, right? So 62 games? There’s some interesting questions. I don’t think there’s going to be an exception made for this year. I think it would be somewhat unfair. But we’ll see how it turns out.”
