现在刚过凌晨一点。我在霜冻银行中心 (Frost Bank Center) 已经待了七个小时，而此前我刚结束了八小时的工作。别误会，我并不是在抱怨。就马刺队的一切而言，这是我生命中最美好的一年。我现场观看了更多比赛，参加了新闻发布会，并与我敬佩的记者们交流，而球队也已晋升为争冠球队，并展现出了一些体坛最耀眼的球星。
现在，他们已经晋级西部半决赛。
由于四小时后我还要起床去上白班，我将分享一些马刺队跨过首轮关卡后我捕捉到的画面。
马刺队获胜后，他们开始了由维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 发起的与“胡狼 (Jackals)”（马刺鼓乐队）的击鼓呼应仪式。凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson) 在赛前因荣膺年度最佳第六人奖项而受到表彰，在赛后仪式开始时，他成了全场瞩目的焦点。

随后，我前往参加了米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 的赛后新闻发布会……

……然后是朱利安·尚帕尼 (Julian Champagnie)，他在今晚一开场就进入了全速模式……
@ JulianChampagn2 是最真诚的。 @ spurs

在等待对手期间，马刺队将获得几天的休息时间。丹佛掘金与明尼苏达森林狼的系列赛目前正移师明尼阿波利斯进行第六场对决。丹佛正处于背水一战的境地。随着安东尼·爱德华兹 (Anthony Edwards) 和唐特·迪温琴佐 (Donte DiVincenzo) 双双缺阵，他们的任务虽然没那么艰巨，但同样至关重要。
在这轮系列赛中，你支持还是反对哪支球队？毕竟胜者将成为马刺通往西部决赛道路上的阻碍。
先聊到这，我得去睡会儿了。穿过市中心时按响喇叭庆祝一下，然后直接上床睡觉。
马刺加油！ (Go Spurs Go!)

Open Thread: Spurs win their first playoff series since 2017
It’s just after one o’clock a.m. I have been in the Frost Bank Center for seven hours. After an eight hour work day. Don’t get me wrong, I am not complaining. This has been the best year of my life as far as all things Spurs go. I’ve been to more games, sat in on press conferences, and hobnobbed with journalists I admire while the team has elevated to a contender and revealed some of the sports brightest stars.
And now they have advanced to the Western Conference Semifinals.
As I have to get up in four hours for my daytime job, I will share some of what I captured once the Spurs cleared the hurdle of their first series.
Once the Spurs won, they went into the drum call-and-response that Wemby started with the Jackals. As Keldon was honored before the game for his Sixth Man of the Year award, he was the man of the hour when it was time to lead the postgame ritual.

Afterward, I headed down to the postgame presser with Mitch Johnson…

…then Julian Champagnie, who kicked off the evening in a turbo gear…
@ JulianChampagn2 is the most genuine. @ spurs

The Spurs will have a couple of days off as they await an opponent. The Denver/Minnesota series is currently heading back to Minneapolis for game 6. Denver is in a must-win situation. With Anthony Edwards and Donte DiVincenzo both out, their task is less arduous, but no less critical.
Are you rooting for or against anyone in this series as the victor stands in the way of the Spurs destination of the Western Conference Finals?
That’s all for now, must get some sleep. Just a honk of the horn as I pass through downtown and then straight to bed.
Go Spurs Go!
