在任何一个比赛日，总会有数据证明这支圣安东尼奥马刺队确实非同寻常。

特别是马刺队的明星新秀迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper)，他作为银黑军团的替补球员持续给人留下深刻印象。

哈珀在今年季后赛中拥有最高的第四节投篮命中率。他超过了传奇球星勒布朗·詹姆斯，超过了森林狼队的前NBA最佳第六人纳兹·里德，甚至超过了他的队友文班亚马。

哈珀还超越了德里克·罗斯，成为季后赛历史上多次拿到两双最年轻的后卫。他的第一次两双是在季后赛首轮对阵波特兰开拓者队的第三场比赛中取得的。4月24日，哈珀砍下了27分和10个篮板。

在本周二马刺队战胜明尼苏达森林狼队的第五场系列赛中，哈珀得到12分，同时抢下了10个篮板。

他从一上场就做好了准备，并且从未止步。他经常提到自己赢得了马刺教练组和队友们的信任，这让他能够打得随心所欲，并抓住机会为我们奉献一个接一个的精彩瞬间。

在哈珀提升马刺替补席实力的同时，值得注意的是，德文·瓦塞尔 (Devin Vassell) 目前的正负值达到了+106。这是自1996年该数据开始统计以来，任何球员在职业生涯前10场季后赛中取得的最高正负值。

> 球员职业生涯前10场季后赛的最高正负值（自1996-97赛季开始统计以来）：

> +102 – 马基夫·莫里斯 (Markieff Morris)  
> +95 – 贾里德·达德利 (Jared Dudley)  
> +91 – 凯文·乐福 (Kevin Love)  
> +90 – 斯蒂芬·库里 (Steph Curry)  
> +88 – 马克斯·斯特鲁斯 (Max Strus)  
> +87 – 德文·布克 (Devin Booker)

与此同时，值得关注的是，文班亚马在职业生涯的前9场NBA季后赛中已经送出了38次盖帽，这使他在马刺队史季后赛盖帽榜上排名第12位。细品一下这个数据背后的含金量。

> 📈 文班目前在参加的9场比赛中送出38次盖帽，排名马刺队史季后赛盖帽榜第12位。下一位是阿尔德里奇，他在38场比赛中贡献了39次盖帽。
> 
> 🐺 文班本系列赛对阵不同球员的盖帽统计：  
> 麦克丹尼尔斯 – 5  
> 小香农 – 4  
> 兰德尔、戈贝尔、里德 – 3  
> 爱德华兹 – 2  
> 海兰德、多森姆 – 1 [pic.twitter.com/hbvVwzgh1v](https://t.co/hbvVwzgh1v)

我非常喜欢他本系列赛的盖帽明细。在他总共38次盖帽中，有21次是针对明尼苏达球员的，而且他可谓“雨露均沾”——在麦克丹尼尔斯身上拿到了5个盖帽，在小香农身上拿到4个，在戈贝尔、兰德尔和里德身上各拿到3个。他甚至还扇飞了超级巨星安东尼·爱德华兹 (Anthony Edwards) 的两次投篮。

森林狼队在周二看起来已经精疲力竭，但他们肯定会在周五的比赛中拼死一搏。马刺队需要继续保持全员皆兵的状态，才能在客场结束这轮系列赛。
