曾有那么一瞬间，波特兰开拓者队的全明星前锋德尼·阿夫迪亚 (Deni Avdija) 或许以为他终于穿过了圣安东尼奥马刺队禁区防守的迷宫，也摆脱了镇守其中的那个“外星人”。
比赛还剩三分钟多一点，球队落后 15 分，阿夫迪亚转身切入禁区抛投出手。在他出手时，维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 就在禁区左侧，面向篮筐，球似乎已经飞过了他的头顶。或许阿夫迪亚和开拓者队还存有一线生机，想要挽救他们的赛季。
随后，这位全票当选的 NBA 年度最佳防守球员干脆利落地关上了大门。他从篮板上方封盖了阿夫迪亚的投篮，封盖高度达到了离地 13 英尺——球既没有飞向侧面，也没有打在篮板上弹回场内，而是直接飞过了篮板上沿。当文班亚马将球扇向看台时，球甚至擦到了篮板顶部。
就在这一瞬间，文班亚马将这一球以及开拓者队赛季最后的残存希望一并扇入了虚空。
“扣杀！”ESPN 评论员戴夫·帕什 (Dave Pasch) 惊呼道，“飞到了第 15 排。”
文班亚马在马刺队以 114-95 获胜的比赛中砍下 17 分、14 个篮板和 6 次盖帽。在他之前的一次进球后，转播画面切到了他的父亲菲利克斯·文班亚马 (Félix Wembanyama) 身上，尽管他那身为 MVP 候选人的儿子此前表现惊人，但这位父亲当时依然面无表情。
但在文班亚马完成这次飞越篮板的封盖后，他的父亲终于无法抑制脸上流露出的赞许之情。
“连他爸爸都惊叹了，”帕什注意到。
“如果这都不能让他有所反应，那他可能是史上最严厉的考官了，”ESPN 分析师多丽丝·伯克 (Doris Burke) 评论道。
当观众为这次封盖欢呼时，文班亚马露出了短暂的微笑并展示了一下肌肉。尽管波特兰在这轮系列赛中拼尽全力，甚至在圣安东尼奥偷走了第二场比赛的胜利，但马刺队最终还是轻松地在五场内胜出。
文班亚马完成了职业生涯的首个季后赛系列赛，他在五场比赛中出战了四场，因脑震荡缺席了第二场的大部分时间和第三场的全部比赛。他场均得到 21 分、8.8 个篮板和 4 次盖帽。在最后两场比赛中，他总共送出了 13 次封盖。
文班亚马和马刺队现在将注意力转向丹佛掘金队与明尼苏达森林狼队之间的系列赛。明尼苏达目前以 3-2 领先，但缺少了球星安东尼·爱德华兹 (Anthony Edwards)，而掘金队则将依靠 MVP 候选人尼古拉·约基奇 (Nikola Jokić)。
胜者将在下一轮对阵马刺队——并且必须找到应对文班亚马禁区统治力的方法。

Victor Wembanyama blocked a Trail Blazers shot over the backboard
For a split second, perhaps Portland Trail Blazers All-Star forward Deni Avdija thought he finally was through the maze that is the San Antonio Spurs’ paint defense — and the alien that anchors it.
With his team down 15 with a little more than three minutes left, Avdija spun into the lane and fired up a floater. When he let the shot go, Victor Wembanyama was just to the left of the paint, facing the rim as the ball seemingly passed him. Perhaps Avdija and the Trail Blazers had one last gasp to save their season.
Then the unanimous NBA Defensive Player of the Year shut the door emphatically, blocking Avdija’s attempt over the top of the backboard, 13 feet off the ground — not to the side or off the glass back into play. Clear over the backboard, with the ball clipping the top as Wembanyama launched it into the stands.
In one fell swoop, Wembanyama sent the shot and the last remnants of the Trail Blazers’ season into the ether.
“SPIKED!” ESPN announcer Dave Pasch exclaimed. “Into the 15th row.”
Wembanyama finished the Spurs’ 114-95 win with 17 points, 14 rebounds and six blocks. On one of his previous baskets, the broadcast cut to his father, Félix Wembanyama, whose face was blank despite the impressive feats of his MVP-candidate son to that point.
But after Wembanyama’s block over the backboard, his father couldn’t suppress the look of approval on his face.
“Even his dad says ‘Wow,'” Pasch noted.
“He might be the all-time tough grader if this doesn’t get a reaction,” ESPN analyst Doris Burke remarked.
Wembanyama allowed himself a brief smile and a small flex as the crowd celebrated his denial. As hard as Portland tried in this series, even stealing a game in San Antonio in Game 2, the Spurs prevailed in five games with ease.
Wembanyama finished his first career playoff series playing in four of the five games, missing much of Game 2 and all of Game 3 with a concussion. He averaged 21 points, 8.8 rebounds and four blocks per game. He rejected 13 shots in the final two games combined.
Wembanyama and the Spurs now turn their attention to the series between the Denver Nuggets and Minnesota Timberwolves. Minnesota leads 3-2 but is without star Anthony Edwards, while the Nuggets will lean on MVP candidate Nikola Jokić.
The winner faces the Spurs in the next round — and will have to find an answer for Wembanyama’s paint dominion.
