圣安东尼奥马刺队前锋朱利安·尚帕尼 (Julian Champagnie) 在 2026 年 5 月 10 日星期日于明尼阿波利斯标靶中心举行的西部半决赛第四场对阵明尼苏达森林狼队的投篮训练期间回答记者提问。目前马刺队以总比分 2-1 领先该系列赛。
明尼阿波利斯讯 —— 在周五晚上马刺 115-108 战胜明尼苏达的比赛第三节末段，朱利安·尚帕尼 (Julian Champagnie) 完成了职业生涯中或许最令人印象深刻的一次篮板拼抢。
这次进攻始于德文·瓦塞尔 (Devin Vassell) 的中距离跳投砸在篮筐后沿弹起，当时包括 7 英尺 1 英寸的鲁迪·戈贝尔 (Rudy Gobert) 在内的三名森林狼球员正守在禁区等待篮板。但在他们做出反应之前，尚帕尼从三分线外飞身杀入，单手抓下皮球，并顺势一记快传给到凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson)，后者命中三分，在第三节还剩 40.7 秒时帮助马刺取得 86-77 的领先。
那个篮板是尚帕尼全场 12 个篮板之一，创下了这位四年级前锋的季后赛生涯新高，其中包括 4 个进攻篮板，这充分体现了他如今比赛风格的全面性。
在周日的西部半决赛第四场之前，尚帕尼在已经进行的八场季后赛中场均得到 10.8 分、5.9 个篮板（对阵明尼苏达时为 7.3 个）、1.4 次助攻和 1.3 次抢断。
“他确实已经打出了名堂，并在以多种不同的方式影响着比赛，”凯尔登·约翰逊说道。“他在抢篮板，他是我们出色的防守者，而且他的投篮极其精准。看到他如何影响比赛是非常令人欣慰的，因为他非常努力，在篮球运动中倾注了大量心血。”
身高 6 英尺 7 英寸的尚帕尼表示，他作为篮板手取得成功的秘诀并不复杂。
“就是等待，保持耐心，然后把身体甩进去，”他在周日上午的投篮训练后说道。
他还将功劳归于他的双胞胎兄弟、华盛顿前锋贾斯汀·尚帕尼 (Justin Champagnie) 的帮助。
“我兄弟是个非常出色的篮板手，”尚帕尼说。“他总是告诉我，我个头够大，也有一定的弹跳，所以只管冲进去寻找球的落点。”
尚帕尼在篮板端表现出色的另一个因素是：马刺队教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 在赛季初就将其列为了重点任务。
因此，这位纽约市土生土长的球员在本赛季打满了全部 82 场常规赛，场均抢下职业生涯最高的 5.8 个篮板，而他在 2024-25 赛季的 82 场比赛中场均仅为 3.9 个。
“这是季后赛球队至关重要的一环，”米奇·约翰逊在谈到尚帕尼的篮板时表示。“通常情况下，你不能只做一个单一功能的专家。当你成为像他那样的精英级篮板手时，这会产生非常、非常深远的影响，因为它是防守转进攻的衔接，或者能为进攻创造更多机会。”
尚帕尼并不是季后赛中唯一在多个领域为马刺做出贡献的前锋。瓦塞尔在周日的比赛前场均得到 12.5 分、5.6 个篮板、2.8 次助攻，以及全队最高的 1.5 次抢断和 0.9 次盖帽。
“他一直表现得很棒，”尚帕尼评价道。“他非常勤勉，注重细节，积极防守、抢篮板、盖帽。他正在尽一切努力帮助球队获胜。他的无私精神在激励着我们。”
这句话同样适用于尚帕尼。

How Julian Champagnie’s playoff rebounding has stood out for Spurs
San Antonio Spurs forward Julian Champagnie answers questions from reporters during shootaround before Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinals against the Minnesota Timberwolves at Target Center in Minneapolis on Sunday, May 10, 2026. The Spurs lead the series 2-1.
MINNEAPOLIS — Julian Champagnie had perhaps the most impressive rebound of his career late in the third quarter of the Spurs’ 115-108 win over Minnesota on Friday night.
The sequence started with Devin Vassell’s mid-range jumper clanging off the back of the rim while three Timberwolves, including 7-foot-1 Rudy Gobert waited in the paint for the rebound. But before they could react, Champagnie swooped in from beyond the arc to snag the ball with one hand before zipping it in one swift motion to Keldon Johnson for a 3-pointer that gave the Spurs an 86-77 lead with 40.7 seconds.
The rebound was one of Champagnie’s 12 for the game, a playoff career high for the fourth-year forward that included four on the offensive end, and it underscored how well-rounded his game has become.
Champagnie entered Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinals on Sunday averaging 10.8 points, 5.9 rebounds (7.3 against Minnesota), 1.4 assists and 1.3 steals through eight playoff games.
“He’s definitely come into his own and he’s affecting the game in so many different ways,” Johnson said. “He’s rebounding, he’s been a great defender for us and he shoots the basketball lights out. To see how he impacts the game is rewarding because he works so hard, puts so much into the game of basketball.”
Champagnie, who stands 6-7, said the key to his success as a rebounder isn’t complicated.
“Just waiting, being patient, and then just throwing my body in there,” he said after shootaround Sunday morning.
He also credited his twin brother, Washington forward Justin Champagnie, for helping him.
“My brother’s a really good rebounder,” Julian said. “He always tells me I’m big and I could jump a little bit, so just go in there and find the ball.”
Another factor in Champagnie hitting the boards: Spurs coach Mitch Johnson made it a priority for him at the start of the season.
As a result, the New York City native finished the regular season averaging a career-best 5.8 rebounds while playing in all 82 games after averaging 3.9 over 82 games in 2024-25.
“It’s a vital part of a playoff team,” Mitch Johnson said of Champagnie’s rebounding. “Typically, you have to do more than just one thing in terms of being a specialist. And when you become an elite rebounder like that, it’s a really, really impactful thing because it is the transition from your defense to your offense or it’s creating more opportunities for your offense.”
Champagnie isn’t the only forward making contributions in several areas for the Spurs in the playoffs. Vassell entered Sunday’s game averaging 12.5 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.8 assists, a team-best 1.5 steals and 0.9 blocks.
“He’s been great for us,” Champagnie said. “He’s been super diligent, attentive to detail, playing defense, rebounding, blocking shots. He’s just doing everything to help the team win. He’s helping us with his egolessness.”
The same can be said of Champagnie.
