圣安东尼奥——在西部半决赛第一场以102-104不敌明尼苏达森林狼队后，圣安东尼奥马刺队球星维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 陷入了沉思。他对自己所说的“体力分配不当”感到遗憾，认为这毁掉了一场历史级的防守表现。
文班亚马在周一晚上送出了创NBA季后赛纪录的12次盖帽，并得到11分和15个篮板，成为继安德鲁·拜纳姆 (Andrew Bynum) 和哈基姆·奥拉朱旺 (Hakeem Olajuwon) 之后，季后赛历史上第三位拿到“盖帽三双”的球员。
但文班亚马认为，他的能量本可以更有效地被利用。
“我觉得我必须消耗能量，”他说，“显然，我在球场的一端消耗了大量精力。而在另一端，也就是进攻端，我在一些对球队没有真正帮助的事情上浪费了太多精力。所以，这是我的责任。表现有好有坏。我承担很大责任，因为我今晚的状态不好，没能让球队在进攻中找到我。如果我表现得更好，如果我们球队的进攻核心表现得更好，结果就会不同。所以，基本上，如果一切都不同，结果就会不同。”
文班亚马的最后一番话引起了现场媒体的轻笑，但他在进攻端的表现和决策却并非笑谈。除了投出今年季后赛至今最低的投篮命中率（29%）外，文班亚马在三分线外8投0中，创下了马刺队史球员在季后赛中单场三分全失的最多次出手纪录。
明尼苏达顽强的防守起到了关键作用，尤其是鲁迪·戈贝尔 (Rudy Gobert) 和朱利叶斯·兰德尔 (Julius Randle) 的前场组合，他们不断将文班亚马挤出其舒适区，阻止他在禁区内建立威胁。森林狼队干扰了文班亚马17次投篮中的14次，使这位22岁的球员在这些出手中的表现仅为14投5中。
作为四届NBA年度最佳防守球员，戈贝尔在防守文班亚马的时间上比任何人都长，尤其是在上半场。但兰德尔在下半场的大部分时间里接过了这一任务。在兰德尔作为最后一名防守者的24次进攻中，马刺队平均每回合仅得0.73分，投篮16投5中，并出现了3次失误。
文班亚马在这些进攻中2投0中，并有1次失误。
“老实说，我需要再次观看录像，以进一步了解比赛的动态，”他说，“现在，对我来说一切还有点模糊。我想我可能打了最后16分钟，时间就这样溜走了。这不太好，这意味着我没有像我希望的那样掌控比赛。”
这并没有阻止文班亚马早早在霜冻银行中心球馆 (Frost Bank Center) 开启盖帽盛宴。在开场的前40秒内，他就扇飞了小泰伦斯·香农 (Terrence Shannon Jr.) 的两次篮下投篮。文班亚马在第一节就送出了3次盖帽，上半场结束时共计7次盖帽，双方以45平进入中场休息。
“是的，他有很多盖帽，”森林狼队主教练克里斯·芬奇 (Chris Finch) 说道，“他还有几次没被吹罚的干扰球。所以，那些是我们希望拿回来的宝贵分数。我认为下半场应该有更聪明的进攻方式，我觉得我们在寻找这一点上做得更好了。”
圣安东尼奥也在寻找机会，但无功而返。文班亚马和老将控卫德阿隆·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 合计31投仅10中，并出现了9次失误。

马刺队在进入这轮第二轮系列赛前，季后赛的三分命中率为42%，但在第一场比赛中仅为27.8%。福克斯和文班亚马在进入第一场比赛前，季后赛场均合计得到41.2分。
比赛还剩3分49秒时，兰德尔投中了一记13英尺的转身跳投，为森林狼队取得了当晚最大的领先优势。但在比赛还剩30.9秒时，迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 的一次扣篮让圣安东尼奥将分差缩小到两分。
朱利安·尚帕尼 (Julian Champagnie) 在终场哨响前错失了一记26英尺外的潜在绝杀球。
“我们会观看录像之类的，但我不需要别人来告诉我打得不好，”福克斯说，“我知道自己打得很差。但你得坦然面对，继续前进，并努力在下一场比赛中打得更好。”
文班亚马以22岁零120天的年纪，成为马刺队史上在季后赛拿到三双最年轻的球员，超越了名人堂成员蒂姆·邓肯 (Tim Duncan)，后者在2002年达成这一壮举时为25岁零360天。
“他打得很棒，”迪伦·哈珀说，“我们没能赢球，但我认为对他来说，这是他在攻防两端究竟能有多优秀的又一块基石。下一场比赛会更好，因为他就是那种球员。”

Victor Wembanyama has 12-block triple-double in Spurs’ loss
SAN ANTONIO – Still contemplative in the aftermath of a 104-102 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals, San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama lamented what he described as energy mismanagement for ruining a historic defensive performance.
Wembanyama racked up an NBA-playoffs-record 12 blocks Monday night and scored 11 points with 15 rebounds, becoming the third player in postseason history to log a triple-double with blocks, after Andrew Bynum and Hakeem Olajuwon.
But Wembanyama believes his energy could have been used more effectively.
“I feel like I had to use my energy,” he said. “Obviously, I used a lot of it on one side of the court. On the other side, offensively, I used too much energy on things that didn’t really help our team. So, that’s on me. There was some good and some bad. It’s a lot on me because my game wasn’t feeling good tonight [to] where the team is going to look for me. If I had been better, if the offensive leaders on our team would have been better, it would have been different. So, basically, if everything was different, it would have been different.”
Wembanyama’s last remark drew chuckles from the assembled media, but what wasn’t a laughing matter was his performance and decision-making on the offensive end. In addition to connecting on his lowest field goal percentage (29%) so far in the playoffs, Wembanyama missed all eight of his attempts from 3-point range, which registered as the most misses from deep without a make by a player in Spurs playoff history.
Minnesota’s tenacious defense played a role, especially the frontcourt duo of Rudy Gobert and Julius Randle, which continuously pushed Wembanyama off his spots and prevented him from establishing a presence in the paint. The Timberwolves contested 14 of Wembanyama’s 17 attempts, holding the 22-year-old to 5-of-14 shooting on those attempts.
A four-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year, Gobert defended Wembanyama more than anyone else, especially in the first half. But Randle took the assignment for the majority of the second half. On the 24 plays that ended with Randle as the final defender, the Spurs averaged 0.73 points per play, shooting 5-of-16 with three turnovers.
Wembanyama shot 0-for-2 on those plays with one turnover.
“Honestly, I need to look at the film again to see a little bit more, the dynamics,” he said. “Right now, it’s a little bit blurry for me. I think I played the last 16 minutes of the game, maybe, and it just went by like this. That’s not good. It means I didn’t have the grasp on the game that I wish I did.”
That didn’t stop Wembanyama from establishing a block party vibe early at Frost Bank Center. He swatted away two Terrence Shannon Jr. attempts at the rim over the first 40 seconds of play. Wembanyama tallied three blocks in the first quarter and finished the opening half with seven total as the teams entered intermission deadlocked at 45.
“Yeah, he had a lot of blocks,” Minnesota coach Chris Finch said. “He had a couple of uncalled goaltends, too. So, those are valuable points we’d like to have back. I thought there was smarter offense to be had in the second half, and I think we did a better job of finding that.”
San Antonio searched, too, but came up empty. Wembanyama and veteran point guard De’Aaron Fox shot a combined 10-of-31 with nine turnovers.

The Spurs entered this second-round series shooting 42% from 3-point range throughout the playoffs but connected on just 27.8% in Game 1. Fox and Wembanyana came into Game 1 averaging a combined 41.2 points in the playoffs.
With 3:49 left to play, Randle gave Minnesota its biggest lead of the night by knocking down a 13-foot turnaround jumper. But with 30.9 seconds remaining, a Dylan Harper dunk pulled San Antonio within two points.
Julian Champagnie missed a potential game winner from 26 feet out at the buzzer.
“We’re going to watch film and stuff, but I don’t need to hear it from somebody else that I played bad,” Fox said. “I know I played bad. But you take it on the chin, move on and try to play better next game.”
At 22 years and 120 days old, Wembanyama became the youngest player in Spurs history to log a triple-double in the playoffs, surpassing Hall of Famer Tim Duncan, who accomplished the feat in 2002 at 25 years and 360 days old.
“He played great,” Harper said. “We didn’t get the win, but I think for him it’s another building block and building stone on just how good he can truly be on offense and defense. Next game is going to be even better because that’s the type of guy his is.”
