三个小时能让人老多少岁？显然是很多岁。我在 7:30 开始看球时手里还拿着一杯 Modelo 啤酒，而到了 11 点，我已经在疯狂给自己灌咖啡，甚至想用借记卡划开 Metamucil 膳食纤维粉来保持清醒和“顺畅”。即便这只是西部决赛的第一场，保持身体顺畅对健康也很重要。尤其是这可是西部决赛的第一场。
维克托·农加·文班亚马-德·福特罗-瓦塞尔（Victor Nonga Wembanyama-de Fautereau-Vassel，等等，他的姓氏之一是 Vassel，跟德文·瓦塞尔 (Devin Vassell) 的姓就差一个字母？）在双加时中简直是原地爆炸，轰下 41 分并抢下 24 个篮板。顶替受伤的德阿隆·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 进入首发阵容的迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 砍下 24 分，同时也抓下了 11 个篮板。斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 全场飞奔，在得到 17 分的同时还送出了 11 次助攻，与队友共享球权。
“蓝钢”？“法拉利”？“乐虎”？它们都是同一张脸！难道没人注意到吗？我觉得我快疯了！我发明了钢琴键领带，是我发明的！
文班亚马将占据所有的头条新闻，他也当之无愧，但瓦塞尔在攻防两端的表现同样出色。多年来我们一直赞美他的防守，而现在有了文班亚马坐镇禁区，我们终于看到了瓦塞尔在外线彻底释放、肆意防守的样子。
进攻端，技术统计会显示他三分球 9 投 3 中，但感觉每当马刺需要一个关键三分时，瓦塞尔总能挺身而出。
拒

卡斯尔为比赛带来的身体对抗性非常令人赞赏，坦白说，这甚至让我担心了一阵子。感觉他每次摔倒在地上，如果不是那头漂亮的秀发缓冲了与硬木地板的撞击，他恐怕都要得脑震荡了。
还有加罚！

这是一篇致敬朱利安·尚帕尼 (Julian Champagnie) 的内容。与瓦塞尔类似，每当马刺需要回应雷霆的猛烈攻势时，尚帕尼总能投进一个如香槟般悦人的压哨三分。

我不知道文班亚马官方统计有多少个补篮（我相信肯定有官方数据，但现在太晚了，我喝了太多咖啡和膳食纤维粉），但让我们假装这个次数多到足以支付现在加满一辆中型 SUV 所需的油费——那可是相当多。
劲爆补篮
— 圣安东尼奥马刺 (@ spurs) 2026年5月19日
正当你以为本赛季（以及前两个赛季）已经见识过一切时，这位法国人又使出了一个荒谬的动作。他的脚离开地面了吗？几乎没有。他是不是只是随性地向左转了一点点——这可是德里克·祖兰德做不到的动作——然后就在两个成年男人的头顶把球放进了篮筐？你大可以赌上你的瓦塞尔（Vassel 或 Vassell），他确实做到了。

我真的很享受这些文班亚马的精彩照片。虽然从这些拍摄角度来看，感觉像是某个和文班亚马一样高、甚至更高的人拍的。萨姆·普雷斯蒂 (Sam Presti) 是在耍大家吗？他是不是偷偷克隆了一个文班亚马，雇佣这个克隆人当摄影师，然后像个潜伏特工一样，等亚当·萧华 (Adam Silver) 说出“Derelicte”或“橙色摩卡星冰乐”这些魔法咒语时，就激活他作为雷霆未来的选秀权？

卡斯尔每场比赛至少会使出一次他招牌的空中二次拉杆扣篮，以此来躲避封盖或干扰。
扣碎它，斯蒂芬

这简直是一个疯狂家伙的疯狂举动。太离谱了。如果这球没投进，那就是瑞恩·高斯林式的“疯狂愚蠢”投篮，但即便他投进了，这依然是史蒂夫·卡瑞尔式的“疯狂愚蠢”投篮。这家伙胆子真大！感觉他整晚都带着怒气在打球，因为他觉得夏姆斯·查拉尼亚 (Shams Charania) 应该抢在亚马逊之前，通过推特公布他的名字来剧透最有价值球员的归属。
正如现在的年轻人所说，这颇有 1998 年卡尔·马龙 (Karl Malone) 被评为 MVP 时迈克尔·乔丹 (Michael Jordan) 的那种神韵。
你在逗我吗？！

不管怎样，这只是第一场比赛。但这是一场多么精彩的胜利。

Highlights: Victor Wembanyama estaba en fuego in victory against the Thunder
How much can you age in 3 hours? Apparently a lot. I started the game at 7:30 with a glass of Modelo and by the time 11 rolled around, I was mainlining coffee and cutting Metamucil powder with my debit card to help me stay awake and regular. Being regular is important to your health, even if it’s Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals. Especially if it’s Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals.
Victor Nonga Wembanyama-de Fautereau-Vassel (wait, one of his surnames is Vassel, like one letter away from Vassell of Devin Vassell?) simply detonated for 41 points and corralled 24 rebounds in double overtime. Dylan Harper, stepping into the starting lineup for an injured De’Aaron Fox, scored 24 points and also grabbed 11 rebounds himself. Stephon Castle flew all over the court and shared the wealth with 11 assists to go with his 17 points.
Blue Steel? Ferrari? Le Tigra? They’re the same face! Doesn’t anybody notice this? I feel like I’m taking crazy pills! I invented the piano key necktie, I invented it!
Victor Wembanyama will grab all the headlines, and deservedly so, but Devin Vassell also showed out on both ends of the floor. We’ve raved about his defense for years, but with Wembanyama anchoring that defense, we got to see Vassell unleashed and unhinged on the perimeter.
Offensively, the box score will say he went 3 – 9 from downtown, but it felt like whenever the Spurs needed a big three-pointer, Vassell came up with one.
BL

Stephon Castle brought a physicality to the game that was much appreciated and frankly had me worried for a bit. It seemed like every time he hit the floor he would get a concussion if his beautiful mane of hair didn’t cushion those spills to the hardwood.
AND-ONEEE

This is a Julian Champagnie appreciation post. Similar to Vassell, Champagnie popped a bubbly buzzer beating three-pointer every time the Spurs needed to counter the Thunder’s jabs and haymakers.
JUUUUUU

I don’t know how many put backs Wembanyama officially had (I’m sure there’s an official stat out there, but it’s late, and I had too much coffee and Metamucil), but let’s pretend it was as much as the amount of money it takes to fill up a mid-size SUV with today’s gas prices—which is a lot.
NASTY PUTBACK
— San Antonio Spurs (@ spurs) May 19, 2026
Just when you think you’ve seen it all this season (and the last two seasons), the Frenchman uncorks another preposterous play. Did his feet even leave the court? Barely. Did he just casually turn ever so slightly to his left, something Derek Zoolander cannot do, and put the ball over and through two grown men? You bet your Vassel (or Vassell) he did.

I’m really enjoying these amazing photos of Wembanyama. Although it feels like from these vantage points, someone as tall as or even taller than Wembanyama is taking these photos. Is Sam Presti trolling everyone? Did he secretly clone Wembanyama, hire the clone as a photographer, then like a sleeper cell activate him as a future draft pick for the Thunder when Adam Silver utters the magic words, “Derelicte” or “Orange Mocha Frappuccino”?

At least once a game, Castle unleashes his patented double-clutch-while-in-midair-to-avoid-a-block-or-deflection dunk.

Absolutely insane behavior from an unhinged individual. Just bonkers. It’s a crazy, stupid, Ryan Gosling shot if he misses it, but it’s still a crazy, stupid Steve Carell shot even especially that he made it. The huevos on this guy! It’s like he played pissed off all night because he thought Shams Charania should have stolen Amazon’s moment by spoiling the Most Valuable Player by tweeting out HIS name.
As the kids say these days, it’s giving Michael Jordan vibes when Karl Malone was named MVP in 1998.
