谢伊·吉尔杰斯-亚历山大 (Shai Gilgeous-Alexander) 对走上罚球线的偏爱曾备受赞誉。但这也同样被指责为篮球运动的弊端，因为他被贴上了[善于夸大身体接触](https://chinaspurs.com/t/topic/46699)的标签，从而频繁获得罚球机会。
在对阵[圣安东尼奥马刺](https://chinaspurs.com/t/topic/46766)的三场西部决赛中，这位俄克拉荷马雷霆队的后卫兼新科 NBA MVP 共尝试了 27 次罚球，仅失手一次，并在[周五第三场的胜利](https://chinaspurs.com/t/topic/46728)中 12 罚全中。在对阵菲尼克斯太阳队的四场比赛中，吉尔杰斯-亚历山大共罚球 49 次（罚中 44 球），其中包括第一场 17 罚 15 中的表现；而在对阵洛杉矶湖人队的四场比赛中，他罚球 34 次（罚中 27 球），其中包括在收官战中 15 罚 12 中。
每日幻想体育与博彩网站 Underdog 拿[吉尔杰斯-亚历山大](https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7305814/2026/05/24/all-nba-team-2026-sga-wemby-jokic/)的名声开起了玩笑，并模仿[经典桌游《手术手》(Operation)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiTklJhWM7s)制作了一款名为[《非道德篮球》(Unethical Hoops)](https://unethicalhoops.com/)的桌游。Underdog 甚至邀请了太阳队前锋[狄龙·布鲁克斯 (Dillon Brooks) 来试玩这款游戏](https://www.instagram.com/p/DYneAv7v3Np/)——在游戏中，玩家每次在棋盘上触碰到吉尔杰斯-亚历山大，蜂鸣器就会响起。
在能触发蜂鸣器响起的九个标签中，包括了“猛烈甩头”（Head Snap）、“主动前倾”（Lean In）、“别伸手”（Don’t Reach）和“踢腿”（Leg Kick）。

Underdog 周五宣布，他们将[送出 100 套《非道德篮球》桌游](https://x.com/Underdog/status/2057567206536548482)给参与抽奖活动的球迷。Underdog 还宣布，在西部决赛第三场比赛中，吉尔杰斯-亚历山大每在投篮尝试中摔倒一次，他们就会[随机向一位球迷送出 100 美元](https://x.com/Underdog/status/2057854111161221289)。
“这提升了球迷之间的讨论热度，让这些话题更具探讨价值，”Underdog 高管发展主管迈克尔·波斯纳 (Michael Posner) 表示，“我们每天都会开个简会，探讨当下的流行趋势和正在发生的热点，然后构思一些有趣、聪明的方法，将这些故事生动地呈现出来并加以推广。”
亲自参与该项目的波斯纳表示，在[俄克拉荷马城赢下第二场比赛](https://chinaspurs.com/t/topic/46622)之际推出这款游戏是个好时机。虽然吉尔杰斯-亚历山大在第二场中仅尝试了六次罚球，但那些查看技术统计的批评者们往往会首先关注他的罚球总数，以审视他从罚球线上获得了多少优势。
这款桌游是 Underdog 的最新推广活动，旨在将体育迷关注的热点话题转化为轻松幽默的调侃。今年三月，Underdog 曾因一幅壁画登上新闻，该壁画描绘了[科比·布莱恩特 (Kobe Bryant) 向巴姆·阿德巴约 (Bam Adebayo) 传递火炬](https://www.instagram.com/p/DV2Rz81DdYA/?img_index=2&hl=cs)的画面——此前阿德巴约在对阵华盛顿奇才队的比赛中狂砍 83 分，超越了科比的 81 分，创下 NBA 历史单场第二高分。
作为吉尔杰斯-亚历山大在加拿大国家队的队友，布鲁克斯非常适合这次推广活动。布鲁克斯在游戏广告中自封为“反派”，他从未害怕过挑衅对手。在雷霆队横扫湖人队的第四场比赛中，他出现在场边观战，而他与自己多年来一直试图对抗的勒布朗·詹姆斯 (LeBron James) 之间的微妙关系，使他因嘲讽对手而成为了网络上疯传的表情包。
“我们之前做过一些小尝试，以此来摸索如何积累这方面的经验，而这次可以说是一次更大规模的动作，”波斯纳说道，“我们投入了巨大的精力。我们必须去研究如何制造一款桌游，创建了网站，制作了商业广告，并将其与促销活动结合起来。我们还成功联系到了布鲁克斯，他是最完美的‘反派’人选，而且我认为他非常擅长让事情变得更有趣。”
吉尔杰斯-亚历山大和雷霆队将于周日晚上与马刺队展开系列赛第四场的较量。

> Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s penchant for getting to the free-throw line has been praised. It’s also been cited as what’s wrong with basketball, as he’s been labeled [a player who embellishes contact](https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7301974/2026/05/22/spurs-fan-reaction-thunder-officiating/), resulting in opportunities at the free-throw line.

> In three Western Conference finals games against the [San Antonio Spurs](https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7306202/2026/05/24/spurs-thunder-game-4-result-western-conference-finals-nba/), the Oklahoma City Thunder guard and reigning NBA MVP has attempted 27 free throws; he’s only missed once and made all 12 of his attempts in [Friday’s Game 3 victory](https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7302348/2026/05/23/shai-gilgeous-alexander-thunder-spurs-game-3-western-conference-finals/). In four games against the Phoenix Suns, Gilgeous-Alexander attempted 49 free throws (and made 44), including a 15-of-17 performance in Game 1, and in four games against the Los Angeles Lakers, he attempted 34 from the stripe (made 27), including a 12-for-15 effort in the closeout.

Underdog even called on Suns forward [Dillon Brooks to play the game](https://www.instagram.com/p/DYneAv7v3Np/), in which each time a player touches Gilgeous-Alexander on the board, the buzzer sounds.

> Underdog announced Friday it would [give 100 Unethical Hoops games](https://x.com/Underdog/status/2057567206536548482) to fans who enter the contest to win them. Underdog also announced it would [give $100 to a random fan](https://x.com/Underdog/status/2057854111161221289) each time Gilgeous-Alexander fell on a shot attempt in Game 3 of the Western Conference finals.
>
> “It’s elevating the conversations that fans have that make things worth talking about,” said Michael Posner, head of executive development at Underdog. “We have sort of like a daily stand-up where we just reflect on the zeitgeist and what’s happening, and we ideate fun, clever ways to bring those stories to life and elevate them.”
>
> Posner, who was hands-on with the project, said it was a good time to premiere the game with [Oklahoma City winning Game 2](https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7296553/2026/05/20/thunder-spurs-game-2-result-western-conference-finals-nba/). Gilgeous-Alexander only attempted six free throws in Game 2, but critics who check the box scores often look at his free-throw totals first to see how much of an advantage he gained from the charity stripe.
>
> The board game is Underdog’s latest promotion in its efforts to take a hot topic among sports fans and have lighthearted fun with it. In March, Underdog was in the news for its mural depicting [Kobe Bryant passing a torch to Bam Adebayo](https://www.instagram.com/p/DV2Rz81DdYA/?img_index=2&hl=cs) after Adebayo scored 83 points against the Washington Wizards, surpassing Bryant’s 81 for the second-most points in a game in NBA history.
>
> Brooks, a teammate of Gilgeous-Alexander on the Canadian national team, was fitting for this promotion. Calling himself “the villain” in the game advertisement, Brooks has never been afraid to needle opponents, and his appearance courtside for Game 4 of the Thunder’s sweep against the Lakers and LeBron James — who Brooks has tried to antagonize for years — has made him a viral meme for trolling a rival.
>
> “We’ve been doing some smaller things just to see how to build this muscle, and this was sort of like a bigger stunt, if you will,” Posner said. “A lot went into it. We had to go and figure out how to manufacture a board game. We created a website. We made a commercial. We tied it into promos. And we were able to get in touch with Dillon Brooks, who is the consummate villain and I think is quite good at making things more fun.”

> Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder will play the Spurs in Game 4 of the series Sunday night.

> 这已经开始让NBA丢脸了——雷霆 (OKC) 简直是在亵渎这项运动。假摔、推人、拽头发、踩别人的脚等等。裁判是被授意这么吹比赛的吗？除了俄克拉荷马本地，还有谁想看到一支球队靠这种打法横行霸道却不受惩罚？NBA正变得越来越像WWE。

>
> > [@10838965](#):
> >
> > @Craig B. 他们交易来了一个当时被联盟阻止签约湖人的球员，该球员当时唯一的选择就是和雷霆签下顶薪。他们运气好，碰上科怀·伦纳德 (Kawhi Leonard) 坚持要和保罗·乔治 (Paul George) 联手，所以雷霆掌握了所有筹码并抢到了亚历山大。这一切都是建立在亚历山大之上的。然后他们摆烂，得到了两名球员，一个是2号秀、入选了最佳阵容的切特·霍姆格伦，另一个是5号秀，他们用5号秀交易来了亚历克斯·卡鲁索 (Alex Caruso)——卡鲁索对他们上赛季的夺冠之旅和今年的季后赛征程都不可或缺。所以，不，这支球队并不是主要由10顺位开外的球员建成的。它是建立在一次带点运气成分的交易（雷霆因处于有利位置并成功利用了这一点而值得称赞）以及两名2号顺位和5号顺位球员之上的。此外，还有精明的交易、自由球员签约和选秀来填补边缘阵容。这确实值得赞赏，马刺也是如此，他们做了同样的事。马刺被赠予了文班和迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper)。斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 掉到了他们的顺位，而朱利安·尚帕尼 (Julian Champagnie)、福克斯 (Fox)、凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson) 和哈里森·巴恩斯 (Harrison Barnes) 都是在交易、自由签约和选秀中的妙笔。每支伟大的球队都会经历这些。
> >
> > 你忽略的是打球风格。除了俄克拉荷马本地，所有人之所以都讨厌雷霆，是因为他们打球脏，他们的防守哲学就是“把犯规拉满，反正裁判不可能全吹”，同时他们拥有极佳的阵容深度，可以不断轮换球员来分担犯规麻烦。此外，他们阵中多名球员都有一种极其恶心的“碰瓷”假摔风格。大多数球队最多也就一两个假摔怪，很多球队甚至一个都没有。而在雷霆，这显然是一种战术风格选择，亚历山大经常把自己扔在地上，霍姆格伦也是，然后卢根茨·多尔特 (Luguentz Dort) 还会绊人、试图弄伤对手，并骗进攻犯规。还有以赛亚·哈尔滕施泰因 (Isaiah Hartenstein) 扯文班胳膊和肩膀的动作，真是太垃圾了。就是脏。我以前还挺尊重他的，但现在没了。相比之下，马刺就是不假摔，也不脏，不会做出绊人或生拉硬拽别人肢体的动作。
> >
> > 还有这一点：文班太特殊了。我刚刚看到他在半场结束前投中了一记半场超远三分，帮助马刺领先12分。真是绝了！我不是马刺球迷。但这就像看着年轻时的斯蒂芬·库里 (Stephen Curry)。我从未见过像库里那样的人，也从未见过像文班这样的人。虽然我既不是勇士球迷也不是马刺球迷，但我能理解为什么人们把他们视为英雄，而把他们的对手视为恶棍。

I have no problem with either team but I think it’s a little weird how it’s played out.

If your best player wins multiple awards because he’s perfected the art of drawing fouls by convincing referees that he’s being impeded, when he isn’t, then you should expect backlash. No one criticized Jokić for being great. SGA is criticized because one of his top skills weakens the game.

They got lucky that Kawhi insisted on Paul George, so the Thunder could have all the leverage and grab Shai. Who this all rests on. Then they tank, and get two players, one at #2 Chet Holmgren whose all NBA, and the other at #5 who they’re able to trade for Caruso who was indispensable for their title run last season and their run this year. So no this team wasn’t mostly built on players picked outside the top ten. It was built on a trade that had some luck to it, and OKC is to be commended for being in position to take advantage, and two players picked #2 and #5. Along with savvy trades and free agent signings and drafting to fill out the margin. Which they deserve credit for, as do the Spurs as they’ve done the same. The Spurs got gifted Wemby and Harper. Castle fell to them, but Champagne, Fox, Keldon Johnson, Barnes were all good moves in trades, free agent signings, and drafting. This happens for every great team. What you’re missing is style of play. The reason why everyone outside of OKC can’t stand them is because they’re dirty players who engage in a style of maximum fouling under the theory of the refs can’t call them all along with having superior depth so can just rotate players in to lighten foul load along with a particularly disgusting foul baiting style of flopping that is engaged in by multiple players on their roster. Most teams have at most two floppers, and many teams have none. The Thunder it is a clear style choice as Shai throws himself on the ground routinely, as does Holmgren, and then Dort trips and tries to injure players as well as grift offensive fouls. And then what Hartenstein has done with the pulling on Wemby’s arms and shoulders is so crap. Just dirty. I used to respect him, but not anymore. On the other side, the Spurs just don’t flop, and aren’t dirty engaging in plays like tripping or yanking on peoples extremities. And then there’s this. Wemby is just special. I just watched him hit a half court shot to end the half and put the Spurs up 12. Just WOW. I’m not a Spurs fan. It’s like watching Steph when he was young. I never saw anyone like him, and I’ve never seen anyone like Wemby. And even though I’m not a fan of either the Warriors or Spurs, I understand why people see them as the heroes and their opponents as the villains.
