“这就是社区的力量，”鲍文在谈到圣安东尼奥忠诚的粉丝群体时说道，“当你成为某些真正特别的事物的一部分时……我们是幸运的。”
周三晚上，在圣安东尼奥马刺队对阵明尼苏达森林狼队的系列赛第二场比赛开始前，两位马刺传奇球星现身弗罗斯特银行中心 (Frost Bank Center)。
根据周三发布的新闻稿，此次活动源于马刺队与 USAA 的合作，旨在为 50 名驻扎在圣安东尼奥的美国服役人员提供比赛门票，并安排了一场特别的“战术交流 (chalk talk)”见面会，让他们与**肖恩·埃利奥特 (Sean Elliott)和布鲁斯·鲍文 (Bruce Bowen)**近距离接触。
在弗罗斯特银行中心 La Gloria 分店举行的见面会上，一排排身着马刺装备的球迷聆听了埃利奥特和鲍文回顾他们的 NBA 夺冠经历。埃利奥特曾随圣安东尼奥夺得一座总冠军奖杯，而鲍文则助力球队三次问鼎。

在马刺队对阵森林狼队之前，驻扎在圣安东尼奥的服役人员获赠了门票，并参加了与鲍文及埃利奥特的特别见面会。
他们强调了前主教练**格雷格·波波维奇 (Gregg Popovich)**对基本功的执着以及保持谦逊的态度，是如何帮助球队在多次夺冠历程中保持“低调行事”的。
“外界的人看我们时会说，‘噢，他们太无聊了，’”鲍文说道。“（但是）当我们完成上篮时，不需要捶胸顿足，因为你知道吗？上篮得分本就是你应该做的，”他笑着补充道。
两人还强调了这座城市以家庭为核心的文化，几十年来如何为球队提供了独特的支持体系。“圣安东尼奥是一个非常特别的地方，”埃利奥特说，“当你让人们感到像家人一样时，你就会让每个人都觉得自己是其中的一部分。”
“这就是社区的力量，”鲍文补充道，“当你成为某些真正特别的事物的一部分时……我们是幸运的。”

Spurs legends Sean Elliott, Bruce Bowen meet with San Antonio troops
“It’s the community,” Bowen said of San Antonio’s dedicated fan base. “When you are a part of something that’s truly special … we are fortunate.”
Two San Antonio Spurs legends made an appearance at the Frost Bank Center ahead of the team’s Game 2 matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday night.
The event stemmed from a partnership between the Spurs and USAA to provide game tickets and a special “chalk talk” meet-and-greet with Sean Elliott and Bruce Bowen for 50 U.S. service members stationed in San Antonio, according to a Wednesday news release.
During the meet-and-greet at the Frost Bank Center’s La Gloria outpost, rows of fans decked out in Spurs gear listened as Sean Elliott and Bruce Bowen reflected on their NBA championship experiences. Elliott won one title with San Antonio, while Bowen helped capture three.

Service members stationed in San Antonio were gifted with tickets and a special meet-and-greet event with Bowen and Elliot ahead of the Spurs face off against the Timberwolves.
They highlighted how former coach Gregg Popovich’s dedication to the fundamentals — and to staying humble — helped the team “fly under the radar” through multiple title wins.
“Others, looking from the outside in, they’ll say things like, ‘oh they’re boring,’” Bowen said. “(But) we don’t need to beat our chest when we make the layup because, you know what? You’re supposed to make the layup,” he added through laughter.
The two also highlighted how the city’s family-forward culture has provided a unique support system for the team for decades. “San Antonio is a really special place,” Elliot said. “When you make people feel like they’re family, you make everybody feel like they’re a part of it.”
“It’s the community,” Bowen added. “When you are a part of something that’s truly special … we are fortunate.”
