圣安东尼奥马刺队中锋维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) (1) 与明尼苏达森林狼队前锋杰登·麦克丹尼尔斯 (Jaden McDaniels) (3) 争抢篮板。随后文班亚马因肘击未在画面中的森林狼中锋纳兹·里德 (Naz Reid) (11) 面部而被吹罚二级恶意犯规，导致其在第四场比赛第二节被驱逐出场。
在对阵森林狼的第四场比赛中，维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 被驱逐出场。赛后，马刺队教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 为其辩护，称这位当家球星每晚面临的身体对抗“简直令人作呕”。
在周日于明尼阿波利斯进行的比赛中，马刺以 109-114 惜败。文班亚马在第二节还剩 8 分 39 秒时，因在争抢篮板时挥肘击中明尼苏达球员纳兹·里德 (Naz Reid) 的下巴而被罚下。裁判在回看录像后判定其为二级恶意犯规。
在周五的第三场比赛结束后，当被问及身上新增的抓痕和瘀伤时，文班亚马曾表示这种身体上的“惩罚”在季后赛环境下是“必然会发生的”。但在第四场比赛后，约翰逊失去了耐心，他指出联盟有责任保护文班亚马。
“人们试图施加在他身上的身体对抗以及缺乏保护的情况真的令人失望，”约翰逊说道，“在某种程度上，这真的开始让人感到恶心，尤其是考虑到他一直试图克服困难，保持职业和成熟的态度来处理这些事情。”
约翰逊表示，马刺队已经与文班亚马谈过，要求他在面对对手的身体对抗时保护好自己。
“我确实认为现在已经到了这样一个阶段：如果那些负责掌控比赛和维护比赛对抗强度的人不作为，那么在某些时刻，他将不得不保护自己，”约翰逊说，“我们已经要求他这样做有一段时间了。”
尽管约翰逊支持文班亚马回应森林狼的侵略性行为，但他澄清说，自己并不赞成周日对里德的那次犯规。
“我很高兴他采取了行动，”约翰逊说，“我指的不是击打纳兹·里德。我想明确这一点。我很高兴纳兹·里德没事，我不希望他肘击对手。但如果他们不保护他，他必须保护自己。我认为这（现状）令人作呕。”
预计联盟将在周一对这一回合进行审查，文班亚马可能会面临追加处罚。约翰逊表示，他不认为在周日的驱逐之外还需要任何额外的处罚。
“他完全没有主观意图，”约翰逊说，“我认为如果再有任何追加处罚，那就太荒谬了。”

Spurs coach defends Wembanyama amid ‘disgusting’ physicality
San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama (1) fights for a rebound with Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels (3) before drawing a flagrant fowl charge by throwing an elbow to the face of Minnesota Timberwolves center Naz Reid (11), not pictured, leading to Wembanyama’s ejection in the 2nd quarter of Game 4.
Coming to the defense of Victor Wembanyama following his ejection in Game 4 against the Timberwolves, Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said the physicality his star player faces on a nightly basis is “actually disgusting.”
Wembanyama was kicked out of Sunday’s 114-109 loss in Minneapolis with 8:39 to play in the second quarter after swinging his elbow into the chin of Minnesota’s Naz Reid while battling for a rebound. Officials assessed a flagrant 2 foul following a review.
Asked after Friday’s Game 3 about the fresh scratches and bruises across his body, Wembanyama said the physical punishment is “gonna happen” in the playoff environment. But Johnson had less patience following Game 4, pointing to the league’s responsibility to protect Wembanyama.
“The physicality people try to impose on him and the lack of protection is really disappointing,” Johnson said. “At some level, it’s starting to get actually disgusting, just in terms of when he tries to fight through things and be professional and mature and deal with some of that stuff.”
Johnson said the Spurs have spoken to Wembanyama about defending himself against his opponents’ physicality.
“I do think it’s getting to a point that if the people who are in charge of controlling the game and protecting the physicality of the game don’t do that, at some point he’s going to have to protect himself,” Johnson said. “We’ve been asking him to do that for a while.”
Though Johnson defended Wembanyama for responding to Minnesota’s aggression, he clarified that he did not condone Sunday’s foul against Reid.
“I’m glad he took matters into his own hands,” Johnson said. “Not in terms of hitting Naz Reid. I want to be very clear about that. I’m glad Naz Reid was OK. I didn’t want him to elbow him. But he’s going to have to protect himself, if they’re not. And I think it’s disgusting.”
The league is expected to review the play on Monday, and Wembanyama could face additional punishment. Johnson said he did not believe anything beyond Sunday’s ejection would be warranted.
“There was zero intent,” Johnson said. “To have anything on top of that, I think, would be ridiculous.”
