维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 在第六场比赛中看起来有些不同。在各个方面都是如此。
周四晚上，这位圣安东尼奥球星身穿一件少林僧袍来到主场球馆，这显然是在致敬他去年夏天在中国寺庙度过的两周时光——当时他前往那里寻求身体、心理和精神上的成长。他那新剪的利落短发，则是他全力以赴、心无旁骛的另一个信号。
而在球场上，他也重新找回了那个具有统治力的自己。
职业生涯首次面临淘汰边缘的生死战，文班亚马显得极其气定神闲——赛前，他还罕见地向队友发表了一番慷慨激昂的动员讲话。在28分钟的出场时间里，他21投10中，砍下28分、10个篮板、3次盖帽和2次助攻，率领马刺队以118-91大胜俄克拉荷马雷霆队，将西部决赛大比分扳成3-3平。
抢七大战将于周六晚上在俄克拉荷马城打响。正是在这里，文班亚马以一场41分、24个篮板的惊世杰作开启了这轮西决系列赛，并带领马刺通过双加时艰难取胜。如果他能在周六再下一城，他和马刺队就将挺进总决赛，迎战纽约尼克斯队。
从比赛一开始，文班亚马就主导了第六场比赛。在赢得开场跳球后，他的下三次攻防表现如下：命中三分、送出盖帽、再次命中三分。比赛的基调就此奠定，马刺队自此从未落后。
由于胜负早无悬念，他在第四节的大部分时间里都坐在替补席上休息。虽然第六场还没结束，但可以肯定的是，文班亚马已经在思考抢七大战了。第四节在马刺替补席上，全队年龄第三大的老将哈里森·巴恩斯 (Harrison Barnes) 在文班亚马耳边面授机宜，传授经验。巴恩斯在说，文班亚马在点头。无论传达了什么信息，其意图都显而易见。
这轮系列赛的取胜定律在周四再次得到印证。当文班亚马成为场上最具统治力的球员时，马刺就能赢球；而当他未能做到这一点时，他们就会输球。仅仅表现“优秀”还远远不够——在马刺输掉的三场比赛中，他场均得到22.3分，投篮命中率为43%；而在马刺获胜的三场比赛中，他场均轰下34分，投篮命中率高达51%。

Wembanyama was all business in Game 6 of West finals. It earned him and the Spurs a chance at Game 7
Victor Wembanyama looked different in Game 6. In every way.
There was the Shaolin robe that the San Antonio star wore to his home arena on Thursday night, an obvious nod to his two-week stay last summer at a Chinese temple he visited while seeking physical, mental and spiritual growth. There was the freshly cropped hair, another sign that he was all business.
And on the court, he was back to his dominant self as well.
Facing an elimination game for the first time in his career, Wembanyama — who had a fiery pregame address for teammates, something he doesn’t typically do — seemed as comfortable as could be. He had 28 points, 10 rebounds, three blocks and two assists, on 10-for-21 shooting in 28 minutes, leading the Spurs past the Oklahoma City Thunder 118-91 to tie the Western Conference finals at 3-3.
Game 7 is Saturday night in Oklahoma City, the place where Wembanyama started this West title series with a 41-point, 24-rebound masterpiece that carried the Spurs to a double-overtime win. If he gets another win on Saturday, he and the Spurs will be heading to the NBA Finals against the New York Knicks.
From the outset, Wembanyama’s imprint was on Game 6. After winning the opening tip-off, his next three plays went like this — made 3-pointer, blocked shot, another made 3-pointer. The tone was set, and the Spurs never trailed.
He got most of the fourth quarter off, with the game having long been decided. Game 6 wasn’t over, but it’s a safe bet that Wembanyama was already thinking about Game 7. Harrison Barnes, the team’s third-oldest player, was in Wembanyama’s ear during the fourth quarter on the Spurs’ bench, offering some wisdom. He spoke. Wembanyama nodded. Whatever the message was, it was clear.
The formula for this series held true again Thursday. When Wembanyama is the most dominant player, the Spurs have won. When he isn’t, they’ve lost. Good hasn’t been good enough — in the three Spurs losses, he’s averaged 22.3 points on 43% shooting. In the three Spurs wins, he’s averaged 34 points on 51% shooting.
