明尼阿波利斯——第四节比赛中,圣安东尼奥马刺队已锁定胜局,正昂首迈向西部决赛。此时,明尼苏达森林狼队球星安东尼·爱德华兹 (Anthony Edwards) 走向马刺队替补席,简短地向对手表示了祝贺。

这支年轻的马刺队用行动证明,他们已经成为了NBA总冠军的有力竞争者。

斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 砍下32分和11个篮板,再次打出统治级的后场表现。维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 领衔的马刺队在周五晚上以139-109轻取森林狼队,以4-2的总比分赢下了这轮次轮系列赛。

“我向他们致敬,”爱德华兹说道,“他们确实是表现更好的那支球队。”

德阿隆·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 贡献了21分和9次助攻,新秀迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 替补出场拿下15分。马刺队全场三分球38投18中,刷新了队史季后赛单场三分命中数纪录。他们将在周一晚上的西决首战中对阵卫冕冠军俄克拉荷马城雷霆队,后者在前两轮系列赛中均横扫晋级。

“我们当然有信心,但我们需要保持适度的自信,”文班亚马表示,“现在我甚至还没去想下一轮,只想好好恢复身体。”

文班亚马在第五场大胜中表现神勇,砍下27分、17个篮板、5次助攻和3次盖帽,从第四场意外被驱逐的阴影中强势反弹。虽然他在第六场遭到了森林狼队的严密包夹,在27分钟内“仅”得到19分,但他依然是禁区内不可忽视的防守威慑力。同时,每当马刺队获得反击机会时,他总能积极参与攻防转换——而这样的机会在比赛中频频出现。

马刺队后卫群的身材、球商和投射手感让森林狼队难以招架,而后者在防守身高7英尺4英寸的文班亚马时也如预料般吃尽了苦头。

卡斯尔在前五次三分尝试中全部命中,全场16投11中。福克斯三分球3投全中,朱利安·尚帕尼 (Julian Champagnie) 命中4记三分得到18分。在这轮系列赛中,马刺队的总得分比森林狼队整整多出了97分,且从未在任何时刻落后达到两位数。此前在首轮比赛中,马刺用时五场轻松淘汰了波特兰开拓者队。

“这说明我们已经从短暂的季后赛征程中积累了一些经验,”文班亚马说,“我觉得我们把自己调整到了最佳状态,就这么简单。”

爱德华兹全场26投9中为森林狼队贡献24分。替补席上的特伦斯·香农 (Terrence Shannon)(21分)和纳兹·里德 (Naz Reid)(18分)再次带来活力,但面对马刺队密不透风的频繁换防体系,森林狼全队再次陷入混乱。朱利叶斯·兰德尔 (Julius Randle) 全场8投仅1中,仅得3分。

“感觉随着系列赛的深入,我们的子弹打光了,”主教练克里斯·芬奇 (Chris Finch) 说道。

森林狼队在生死战中的这种集体“断电”表现,对于他们的球迷来说或许并不陌生,尽管在过去的三年里,球队在季后赛中取得了前所未有的成功。

在去年西部决赛第五场出局的比赛中,森林狼队在客场对阵俄克拉荷马城时半场落后33分,最终以30分惨败;而在2024年西部决赛第五场对阵达拉斯时,他们半场落后29分,最终以21分之差输掉比赛。

MINNEAPOLIS – — The San Antonio Spurs were well on their way to the Western Conference finals in the fourth quarter when Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards went down to their bench to briefly offer his congratulations.

The young Spurs left no doubt they’re already a serious NBA title contender.

Stephon Castle had 32 points and 11 rebounds to highlight another dominant performance from the backcourt, and Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs romped past the Timberwolves 139-109 on Friday night to finish in the second-round series in six games.

“I just tip my hat to them,” Edwards said. “They were just the better team.”

De’Aaron Fox added 21 points and nine assists and rookie Dylan Harper had 15 points off the bench for the Spurs, who set their franchise postseason record for 3-pointers made by going 18 for 38. They will face defending champion Oklahoma City in Game 1 on Monday night. The Thunder swept their first two series.

“Of course we’re confident, but we need to keep the right confidence level,” Wembanyama said. “Right now, I’m not even thinking about it. I’m just thinking about recovering.”

Wembanyama, who bounced back from his stunning Game 4 ejection with 27 points, 17 rebounds, five assists and three blocks in the Game 5 blowout, was well-guarded by the Wolves in Game 6 and had a quiet 19 points in 27 minutes. But he still served as a constant defensive deterrent in the paint, and he dutifully joined the Spurs in transition whenever they had the opportunity to run — which was often.

The size, smarts and shooting touch of the Spurs guards were too much for the Wolves, who predictably had their hands full with the 7-foot-4 Wembanyama.

Castle made his first five 3-pointers and finished 11 for 16 from the floor. Fox was 3 for 3 from deep, and Julian Champagnie made four 3s among his 18 points for the Spurs, who outscored the Wolves by a whopping 97 points in the series and never once trailed by double digits. The Spurs breezed by Portland Trail in five games in the first round.

“It shows that we already gained a little bit of experience from our short playoff time," Wembanyama said. "I feel like we put ourselves in the best conditions, as simple as that.”

Anthony Edwards had 24 points on 9-for-26 shooting for the Wolves, who got another spark from reserves Terrence Shannon (21 points) and Naz Reid (18 points) but were again flustered by the Spurs and their relentless switch-heavy defense. Julius Randle had just three points on 1-for-8 shooting.

“It just felt like we kind of ran out of bullets as this series went on,” coach Chris Finch said.

This no-show in the elimination game might’ve felt familiar to Wolves fans, who’ve otherwise enjoyed an unprecedented run of success in the playoffs over the last three years.

Minnesota trailed by 33 points at halftime in a 30-point loss at Oklahoma City in the Game 5 ouster in the Western Conference finals last year and were down by 29 points at the break to Dallas in losing the Western Conference finals in 2024 in a 21-point loss in Game 5.

马刺G6大胜淘汰森林狼,西决会师雷霆

明尼阿波利斯讯——周五,在西部半决赛第六场中,圣安东尼奥马刺队的后场三人组斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle)德阿隆·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox)迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 展现出了与当家球星维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 同样致命的杀伤力,率领球队以 139-109 大胜明尼苏达森林狼队,从而终结系列赛。

卡斯尔砍下全场最高的 32 分,并贡献 11 个篮板和 6 次助攻。在这三人的合力贡献下,马刺队的得分几乎占到了全队的一半,全场得分也创下了队史季后赛单场得分第三高的纪录。福克斯 10 投 8 中高效得到 21 分,哈珀 8 投 6 中贡献 15 分。

圣安东尼奥马刺队挺进西部决赛,他们将于下周一在佩康中心与俄克拉荷马城雷霆队展开首场对决。

“周一我们将面对的是一个完全不同的对手,”哈珀说道,“这段经历对我们所有人来说都很棒。但我们必须保持一种心态:无论发生什么,我们都要全力以赴,绝不松懈。”

这正是后场三人组在第六场中树立的标准。截至第三节结束,卡斯尔福克斯哈珀合力贡献了全队 58.2% 的得分,投篮共计 30 投 23 中,其中三分球 12 投 9 中,并送出 15 次助攻。全场比赛马刺队投进了创季后赛队史纪录的 18 记三分球,其中 9 记出自这三人之手。

“我认为在任何给定的夜晚,每个人都有可能迎来爆发,”卡斯尔表示。

对于那些过度专注于限制文班亚马(本场得到 19 分、6 篮板和 3 盖帽)的球队来说,马刺队的后场三人组无疑是一道难题。文班亚马也加入了前马刺球星大卫·罗宾逊 (David Robinson) 的行列,成为自 1974 年(开始统计盖帽数据)以来,仅有的两位在职业生涯前 10 场季后赛中至少得到 200 分、100 篮板和 40 盖帽的球员。

文班亚马卡斯尔的冷静表现赞不绝口,后者本场投进的 5 记三分球创下了其常规赛和季后赛生涯的新高。

“这支球队的构建方式决定了他们会试图让我远离篮筐并纠缠我,”文班亚马说道,“除了用强硬的身体对抗去回击,别无他法。卡斯尔的表现太不可思议了。他非常冷静,能在最后时刻做出正确选择,并尽可能地冲击对方防线以发挥我们的优势,他表现得很棒。他在该投篮时果断出手并命中,在该传球时也传得很到位。”

卡斯尔成为马刺队史第五位在系列赛晋级战中至少砍下 30 分、10 篮板和 5 助攻的球员,加入了马努·吉诺比利 (Manu Ginobili)蒂姆·邓肯 (Tim Duncan)罗宾逊乔治·格文 (George Gervin) 的行列。与此同时,福克斯成为自 2017 年的科怀·伦纳德 (Kawhi Leonard) 以来,首位在季后赛中以 80% 或更高命中率砍下至少 20 分的马刺球员。

圣安东尼奥始终尝试在场上保留至少两名强力后卫。

“根据我们的轮换安排,任何时候场上都会有我们中的两个人在,”福克斯说道,“我们都能彼此配合。我们都能冲击篮筐,都能投进空位投篮。我们为彼此以及场上的其他队友创造机会。这增加了我们球队的活力。”

圣安东尼奥在开局便火力全开,卡斯尔福克斯在火热的第一节中通过得分或助攻包办了球队 36 分中的 28 分。上半场,在文班亚马没有触球的情况下,马刺队 30 投 18 中,而这两人在受到干扰的投篮中合计 8 投 7 中。卡斯尔在首节 9 投 7 中狂砍 19 分,其中三分球 3 投 3 中。

“他打得真他妈好,”马刺队主教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 在谈到卡斯尔时说道,“他的气质和性格让他拥有了正确的心态,并以正确的方式打球。当球员拥有正确的心态,并运用在这个级别执行战术所需的基本功时,他们的天赋就能将比赛提升到另一个层次。他有几次做到了这一点。德阿隆的表现也非常出色。”

28 岁的福克斯是马刺后场三人组中的老将,他表示自己非常看重指导卡斯尔哈珀的机会。

这是圣安东尼奥自 2017 年以来首次晋级分区决赛,也是队史第 15 次,自 1970-71 赛季联盟划分赛区以来排名第三。

“拥有这些天赋异禀、且在职业生涯中一直关注着我的年轻人,然后我们能同处一间更衣室,并肩作战,这是我非常热爱的事情,”福克斯说道,“我希望他们能尽可能早地感受到这种成功,因为你永远不知道这些机会何时会再次降临。”

“我只是给他们一些随处可用的建议,因为他们实在太有天赋了。就像是给他们一份在联盟中穿梭的‘通关秘籍’。我尝试在他们已有的能力基础上锦上添花。他们已经能做到很多事情了。”

Spurs oust Wolves in Game 6 blowout, get OKC in West finals

MINNEAPOLIS – The San Antonio Spurs’ backcourt trio of Stephon Castle, De’Aaron Fox and Dylan Harper proved every bit as lethal Friday as franchise superstar Victor Wembanyama in spearheading a series-clinching 139-109 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 6 of the Western Conference semifinals.

Castle had a game-high 32 points and added 11 rebounds and six assists, helping the trio account for nearly half of the scoring for the Spurs, who finished with the third-most points in a playoff game in franchise history. Fox scored 21 points on 8-of-10 shooting, and Harper added 15 points on 6-of-8 shooting.

San Antonio heads to the Western Conference finals, where it will face Oklahoma City on Monday in Game 1 at Paycom Center.

“What we’re walking into on Monday is a different animal,” Harper said. “The experience is great for all of us. But we’ve just got to have the mindset of we’re going to keep the foot on the gas no matter what.”

That was the standard set by the trio in Game 6. By the end of the third quarter, Castle, Fox and Harper combined for 58.2% of the team’s scoring, shooting 23-of-30 from the field and 9-of-12 from 3-point range to go along with 15 assists. The group combined for nine of San Antonio’s postseason-record 18 3-pointers for the game.

“I think it could be anybody’s night on a given night,” Castle said.

The Spurs’ backcourt trio poses a dilemma for teams hyperfocused on neutralizing Wembanyama, who finished with 19 points, six rebounds and three blocks. He joined former Spurs star David Robinson as the only players to have at least 200 points, 100 rebounds and 40 blocks through his first 10 career postseason games since 1974, when blocks were first tracked.

Wembanyama raved about the composure of Castle, whose five 3-pointers were a career high for the regular season and playoffs.

“The way this team is built, they were trying to take me away from the rim and just grab me,” Wembanyama said. “There’s no other way to fight that than just fight it with physicality. [Castle] was amazing. Just the composure to make the late choice and to push the defense in as far as they can go to take care of our strengths, he was great. He shot the ball when he should have, made the shots and passed when he should’ve passed it.”

Castle became the fifth Spurs player in history to have at least 30 points, 10 rebounds and five assists in a clinching opportunity, joining Manu Ginobili, Tim Duncan, Robinson and George Gervin. Fox, meanwhile, became the first Spurs player since Kawhi Leonard in 2017 to score at least 20 points on 80% shooting from the field in a postseason game.

San Antonio always tries to have at least two of its high-powered guards on the floor.

“The way our rotations work, at all times we have two of us out there,” Fox said. “We’re all able to play off one another. We can all get to the basket. We all make our open shots. We facilitate for each other and other guys on the court. It just adds to the dynamic of our team.”

San Antonio opened with Castle and Fox scoring or assisting on 28 of the club’s 36 points in a sizzling first quarter. They shot a combined 7-of-8 on contested attempts in the first half, as the Spurs hit 18 of 30 over that span whenever Wembanyama didn’t get a touch. Castle racked up 19 points in the first quarter on 7-of-9 shooting, including 3-of-3 from distance.

“He was pretty damned good,” Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said of Castle. “His temperament and disposition led to him having the right approach and playing the right way. When they have the right approach and play with the fundamentals needed at this level to execute, their talent can take it to another level. He had a few moments where he did that. De’Aaron was pretty good too.”

Fox, 28, the veteran of San Antonio’s backcourt trio, said he doesn’t take lightly the opportunity to mentor Castle and Harper.

San Antonio advanced to the conference finals for the first time since 2017 and 15th time overall, the third most since 1970-71, when the conference was formed.

“Having guys who are this talented and have watched me throughout my career, then we get to be in the same locker room, get to be on the court together, it’s something that I love,” Fox said. "I want them to feel that success from as early as you can get it in your career because you never know when those things can come back around.

“[I] just give them little tidbits that they can get here or there because they’re just so talented. Just giving them a cheat sheet to kind of maneuver throughout the league. I try to add what I can to what they can already do. They can already do a lot of things.”
