2026年5月20日，星期三，在俄克拉荷马城佩科姆中心进行的西部决赛第二场第四节中，圣安东尼奥马刺队前锋维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) (1) 在防守俄克拉荷马城雷霆队中锋以赛亚·哈尔滕施泰因 (Isaiah Hartenstein) (55) 时伸手拦截。圣安东尼奥马刺队以113-122不敌俄克拉荷马城雷霆队。
马刺前锋朱利安·尚帕尼 (Julian Champagnie) 认为，现在是他和队友们“反击”的时候了，以此来保护文班亚马，应对俄克拉荷马城雷霆对这位法国超级巨星施加的身体对抗。
尚帕尼并没有指名道姓地提到哈尔滕施泰因，但可以肯定的是，他指的就是这位雷霆大个子。在周三晚上于佩科姆中心进行的比赛中，哈尔滕施泰因凭借强硬的身体对抗限制了文班亚马，帮助俄克拉荷马城以122-113取得胜利，将这轮七局四胜制的系列赛大比分扳为1-1平。
在周一晚上系列赛首战双加时115-122惜败的比赛中，这位身高7英尺（约2.13米）的中锋仅出场12分钟；而在第二场比赛中，哈尔滕施泰因出场27分钟，贡献了10分和13个篮板。在防守端，他对文班亚马的粗悍防守起到了效果，使得这位身高7英尺4英寸（约2.24米）的中锋在出场37分钟内仅得到21分，而文班亚马在第一场比赛中出场49分钟轰下了41分。
在周五晚上第三场比赛前的投篮训练中，尚帕尼被问及马刺该如何给文班亚马提供帮助。
“反击。老实说，就是打回去，”尚帕尼说道，“那些家伙撞他、拉他、扯他的球衣，在他起跳时拽他的胳膊。显然，那根本不是篮球。那纯粹是身体对抗。那是裁判该解决的问题，而不是我们。但作为一支球队，我认为我们能帮到他的方式就是反击他们。”

马刺深知文班亚马必须控制好自己的情绪。在西部半决赛第四场的第二节中，他在拼抢篮板球时用肘部击中了纳兹·里德 (Naz Reid) 的面部，从而因二级恶意犯规被驱逐出场。
但尚帕尼表示，他和队友们应该替文班亚马去回应雷霆的身体对抗。
“说实话，真的，以其人之道还治其人之身，”尚帕尼说道，“他们怎么对我们的，我们就怎么对他们。匹配上他们的身体对抗强度，然后看看结果会如何。”
哈尔滕施泰因赞扬了雷霆主帅马克·戴格诺特 (Mark Daigneault) 委派他担任防守文班亚马的主要人选。
“他在赛前沟通你的角色这方面做得非常好，”哈尔滕施泰因说道，“所以，在进入第一场比赛之前，我大概就知道自己的定位了。昨天，他又找我坐下来聊了聊。他有点像是在道歉，但更多的是在说：‘嘿，做好准备。你会被更频繁地派上场，我们打算尝试一些不同的东西。’
“马克是一位伟大的教练。我信任他。如果你想参与一项团队运动，如果你想在这样一支球队中打球，你就必须放下自我，去做对球队最有利的事。”
尚帕尼认为，匹配上哈尔滕施泰因的身体对抗强度，才是对马刺最有利的选择。
“你必须去硬碰硬，”尚帕尼说道，“面对他们如此强硬的身体对抗，我们不可能去想方设法避开。我们必须走上场，用同样强硬的对抗回应他们。所以无论他们想怎么打都行，我们必须以特定的方式开启比赛，并奠定基调。”

Champagnie: Spurs must protect Wembanyama, match Thunder’s defense
San Antonio Spurs forward Victor Wembanyama (1) reaches around Oklahoma City Thunder center Isaiah Hartenstein (55) during the fourth quarter of Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals at Paycom Center in Oklahoma City, Wednesday, May 20, 2026. The San Antonio Spurs fell 122-113 to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Spurs forward Julian Champagnie believes it’s time for him and his teammates to “hit back” to protect Victor Wembanyama from the Oklahoma City Thunder’s physical play against the French superstar.
Champagnie didn’t mention Isaiah Hartenstein by name, but it’s a safe bet he was referring to the Thunder big man, who muscled up against Wembanyama in helping Oklahoma City even the best-of-seven series at 1-1 with a 122-113 victory Wednesday night at the Paycom Center.
After playing just 12 minutes in the 122-115 loss in double overtime in the series opener Monday night, the 7-foot Hartenstein logged 27 minutes in Game 2, finishing with 10 points and 13 rebounds. On the defensive end, his rough play against Wembanyama was credited with the 7-4 center finishing with 21 points in 37 minutes after producing 41 points in 49 minutes in Game 1.
Champagnie was asked at shootaround ahead of Game 3 on Friday night how the Spurs can help Wembanyama.
“Hit back. Honestly, hit back,” Champagnie said. “The guys hit him, they pull him, they grab his jersey, they’re grabbing his arm when he’s jumping. Obviously, that’s not basketball. That’s just a physicality thing. That’s up to the refs to deal with, not us. But I think as a team, how we can help him is we hit them back.”

The Spurs know that Wembanyama has to keep his emotions in check after he was ejected in the second quarter of Game 4 of the West semifinals for a Flagrant 2 foul after he threw an elbow in Naz Reid’s face while battling for possession of the ball after a rebound.
But Champagnie said he and his teammates should answer the Thunder’s physicality for him.
“Honestly, truly, do the same thing,” Champagnie said. “Do the same thing that they’re doing to us to them. Match the level of physicality and then just see how that goes.”
Hartenstein praised Oklahoma City coach Mark Daigneault for calling on him to serve as Wembanyama’s primary defender.
“He does a great job of just communicating before what kind of your role’s going to be,” Hartenstein said. “So, going into Game 1, I kind of knew what it was going to be. And yesterday, he sat me down again. He kind of apologized, but it was more like, ‘Hey, just be ready. Your number’s going to be called more, and we’re going to try to do something different.’
“Mark’s a great coach. I trust him. If you want to play in a team sport, if you want to play on a team like this, you really have to put your ego aside and do what’s best for the team.”
Champagnie believes matching Hartenstein’s physicality is what’s best for the Spurs.
“You have to just meet it,” Champagnie said. “There’s no way to kind of get around them being that physical and us trying to figure out how we’re going to maneuver around it. We have to just go out there and be physical back. So however they want to play is fine. We got to just start the game a certain way and set the tone.”
