周二下午，前NBA球员兼分析师吉尔伯特·阿里纳斯 (Gilbert Arenas) 加入了全美对圣安东尼奥马刺队日益增长的批评行列。在此之前几小时，ESPN分析师肯德里克·帕金斯 (Kendrick Perkins) 在《First Take》节目中表示，在马刺队首战以102-104不敌明尼苏达森林狼队后，这轮季后赛系列赛可能已经结束了。
在他的YouTube节目《Gil’s Arena》中，阿里纳斯对马刺队接下来的前景给出了直言不讳的评估。
“这轮系列赛已经结束了，”阿里纳斯说道，“马刺队的表现没有任何迹象表明他们能在系列赛中击败森林狼。”
周二早些时候，帕金斯也表达了与阿里纳斯相同的观点：他也认为在首场比赛结束后，系列赛就已经失去了悬念。
阿里纳斯在讨论中将大部分精力集中在维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 身上，后者在首战中得到了11分、15个篮板和12次盖帽。尽管文班亚马的盖帽总数创下了季后赛纪录，但阿里纳斯认为这依然不是他表现最好的比赛之一。
他专门质疑了文班亚马在面对身材较小的防守者时的进攻决策，并警告称，随着系列赛的进行，犯规麻烦可能会成为一个大问题。
“当面对后卫防守时，你有一套进攻套路；当面对大个子防守时，你也有另一套套路，”阿里纳斯说，“所以，如果对方用得分后卫或小前锋防你，而你依然不知道该怎么打，这在季后赛中是不可接受的。”
阿里纳斯还指出，森林狼队经过季后赛洗礼的阵容是两队之间的主要差距。在将他们与马刺队的年轻核心进行比较时，他重点提到了安东尼·爱德华兹 (Anthony Edwards)、鲁迪·戈贝尔 (Rudy Gobert)、纳兹·里德 (Naz Reid) 以及朱利叶斯·兰德尔 (Julius Randle) 等球员。
“森林狼队的比赛计划，我认为马刺队还没准备好应对，”阿里纳斯说道。
阿里纳斯最担心的核心问题之一是比赛后期的防守对位。他预测森林狼队可能会通过使用由里德或兰德尔担任中锋的空间型阵容，将文班亚马从篮下防守位置拉开，从而为爱德华兹创造突破路径。
“当他不得不去防守那些球员时，爱德华兹就能顺势冲击篮筐，”阿里纳斯说，“在对方两个大个子都能投三分的情况下，他无法兼顾护筐。”
尽管提出了批评，但阿里纳斯反复强调，马刺队的问题似乎更多源于年轻和缺乏季后赛经验，而非缺乏天赋。
“看这场比赛时，感觉他们真的很年轻，”他说道。
马刺队与森林狼队的第二场对决将于周三晚上8:30在霜冻银行中心 (Frost Bank Center) 举行。

Ex-NBA player: Series over after Spurs-Timberwolves Game 1
Former NBA player and analyst Gilbert Arenas piled onto growing national criticism of the San Antonio Spurs Tuesday afternoon, hours after ESPN analyst Kendrick Perkins suggested on “First Take” that the playoff series may already be over following San Antonio’s 104-102 Game 1 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Speaking on his YouTube show “Gil’s Arena,” Arenas delivered a blunt assessment of the Spurs’ chances moving forward.
“This series is over,” Arenas said. “There was nothing the Spurs did that showed anything that can beat the Wolves in a series.”
Earlier Tuesday morning, Perkins echoed Arenas: He, too, believes the series is over after one game.
Arenas spent much of the discussion focused on Victor Wembanyama, who finished Game 1 with 11 points, 15 rebounds and 12 blocks. While Wembanyama’s block total set a playoff record, Arenas argued it still was not one of his best overall performances.
He specifically questioned Wembanyama’s offensive decision-making against smaller defenders and warned foul trouble could become a major issue as the series continues.
“When you have a guard on you, you have an offensive book. When you have a big on you, you have an offensive book,” Arenas said. “So the fact that they can stick a shooting guard or a small forward on you, and you still don’t know what you’re doing, that is not acceptable in the playoffs.”
Arenas also pointed to Minnesota’s playoff-tested roster as a major difference between the teams. He highlighted players such as Anthony Edwards, Rudy Gobert, Naz Reid and Julius Randle while comparing them to San Antonio’s younger core.
“The Wolves have a game plan that I don’t think Spurs is ready for,” Arenas said.
One of Arenas’ biggest concerns centered on late-game defensive matchups. He predicted Minnesota could force Wembanyama away from the basket defensively by using floor-spacing lineups featuring Reid or Randle at center, creating driving lanes for Edwards.
“When he has to guard one of those guys, Ant Man is getting downhill,” Arenas said. “He can’t protect the basket with the two bigs shooting threes.”
Despite the criticism, Arenas repeatedly emphasized that San Antonio’s issues appear rooted more in youth and playoff inexperience than lack of talent.
“It just seems very young when you watch the game,” he said.
Game 2 between San Antonio and Minnesota is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. Wednesday at Frost Bank Center.
