马刺球星维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 已经准备好迎接杰登·麦克丹尼尔斯 (Jaden McDaniels) 的垃圾话，尽管在这一系列赛中，后者不太可能再喷垃圾话。
这位效力明尼苏达森林狼队的六年级前锋在季后赛首轮登上了头条。在森林狼第二场以 119-114 获胜并将大比分扳平后，他称丹佛掘金队是“糟糕的防守者”，森林狼最终在六场比赛内赢下了该系列赛。
“他整个系列赛都在喷垃圾话，而且他整个系列赛都用表现证明了自己，”明尼苏达主教练克里斯·芬奇 (Chris Finch) 在周四晚上森林狼第六场以 110-98 击败丹佛后评价麦克丹尼尔斯道。
“这才是真正的强硬。”
在周五的训练结束后，当被问及麦克丹尼尔斯的垃圾话时，文班亚马基本上表示：尽管放马过来。
“垃圾话并不会困扰我，”文班亚马说道，“是的，这很令人兴奋。它让比赛变得更好。我总是很感激那些帮助我突破极限的人。”
在森林狼第五场以 113-125 失利的比赛中，掘金球迷频繁嘘麦克丹尼尔斯，但这并没有阻止他预言森林狼将在主场第六战结束系列赛。
“我们今天只是输了，但我们会赢下下一场，”麦克丹尼尔斯说道。
随后他上场兑现了自己的诺言。他在场上 25 投 13 中，砍下季后赛生涯新高的 32 分，外加 10 个篮板、3 次助攻、2 次抢断和 1 个盖帽，同时帮助将丹佛全明星球员贾马尔·穆雷 (Jamal Murray) 的得分限制在仅有 12 分（17 投 4 中），表现大失水准。
麦克丹尼尔斯和掘金队早有积怨，因此他在首轮说出那样的话并不令人意外。不要指望在这一系列赛中会旧戏重演。
但文班亚马明确表示，他不会被对手针对他或马刺队说的任何话所困扰。

Why Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama is ready for Jaden McDaniels’ trash talk
Spurs star Victor Wembanyama is ready for Jaden McDaniels’ trash talk in the unlikely event he has any to offer in this series.
The sixth-year Minnesota forward made headlines in the first round when he labeled the Denver Nuggets “bad defenders” after the Timberwolves’ 119-114 win in Game 2 to even the series, which they went on to win in six games.
“He talked all series, and he backed it up all series,” Minnesota coach Chris Finch said of McDaniels after the Timberwolves beat Denver 110–98 on Thursday night in Game 6.
“That’s called legitimate tough.”
Asked about McDaniels’ trash talk after practice Friday, Wembanyama essentially said bring it on.
“Talking is not something that bothers me,” Wembanyama said. “Yeah, it’s exciting. It makes the game even better. I always appreciate people helping me push through my limits."
Nuggets fans booed McDaniels frequently in Minnesota’s 125-113 loss in Game 5, but it didn’t stop him from predicting the Timberwolves would close out the series at home in Game 6.
“We just ended up losing today, but we’re going to win the next one,” McDaniels said.
He then went out and backed up his words by scoring a playoff career-high 32 points on 13-of-25 shooting from the field to go along with 10 rebounds, three assists, two steals and a block while helping limit Denver All-Star Jamal Murray to a subpar 12 points on 4-of-17 from the field.
McDaniels and the Nuggets have a history, so it wasn’t surprising that he had something to say in the first round. Don’t expect a repeat in this series.
But Wembanyama made it clear that he won’t be bothered by anything an opponent has to say about him and the Spurs.
