2026年5月28日，星期四，在圣安东尼奥弗罗斯特银行中心进行的西部决赛第六场比赛中，圣安东尼奥马刺队前锋卡特·布莱恩特 (Carter Bryant) (11) 顶着俄克拉荷马雷霆队的防守扣篮。马刺以118-91获胜，将系列赛拖入周六的第七场生死战。
马刺新秀前锋卡特·布莱恩特 (Carter Bryant) 在第六场比赛中立下汗马功劳，帮助球队将雷霆球星谢伊·吉尔杰斯-亚历山大 (Shai Gilgeous-Alexander) 的得分限制在仅有15分，这是他今年季后赛的单场最低得分，也是自2025年5月24日对阵明尼苏达拿到14分以来，他在季后赛中的单场最低得分。
吉尔杰斯-亚历山大曾创下连续140场常规赛得分20+的NBA纪录，但在过去三场比赛中，马刺已经有两场将他的得分限制在20分以下。
在周四晚上马刺以118-91大胜雷霆的比赛中，布莱恩特在出场的8分钟时间里对吉尔杰斯-亚历山大展开了死缠烂打般的防守，后者全场18投仅6中，三分球5投0中。
20岁的布莱恩特还抢下了4个篮板，帮助马刺在篮板球拼抢中以52-43占据上风。
“作为一个新秀，他上场后防守端没有任何下滑，单凭这一点就很能说明问题，”马刺后卫斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 说道，“他上场为我们争取了喘息的时间，拼抢防守篮板，并尽量减少犯错，这非常关键，因为我们需要这些时间，而在季后赛中，每一次球权都至关重要。
“所以，当他能做到这些并让（吉尔杰斯-亚历山大）打得很艰难时，从长远来看，这绝对对我们大有裨益。”
这位14号秀的强劲表现，是在第四场马刺103-82获胜的第三节中，他因一次失误而遭到马刺主帅米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 的严厉训斥之后做出的回应。
“我知道，这在很大程度上与前几场比赛中发生的事情有关，从画面上来看确实如此，”约翰逊说，“卡特一直是非常听话、易于执教的球员。有时他可能太想把事情做对了，这也是为什么我有时会表现得有些急躁和好胜，因为我只想让这孩子打得更快、更有侵略性。他拥有（不输给任何人的）极佳的原始直觉，当他放开手脚，让自己的直觉顺应他的运动天赋和侵略性时，好事情就会发生。
“在此基础上，如果他还能保持一定的纪律性，那他的比赛就会非常具有观赏性。”

其他几位分别是马努·吉诺比利 (Manu Ginobili)（两次）、迈克尔·芬利 (Michael Finley) 以及丹尼·格林 (Danny Green)（两次）。

How rookie Carter Bryant helped the Spurs hold the league MVP in check
San Antonio Spurs forward Carter Bryant (11) dunks on the Oklahoma City Thunder during Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Thursday, May 28, 2026. The Spurs won 118-91 forcing a Game 7 on Saturday.
Spurs rookie forward Carter Bryant had a hand in helping hold Oklahoma City star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to just 15 points in Game 6, the fewest he’s scored in these playoffs and his lowest total in the postseason since he had 14 against Minnesota on May 24, 2025.
Gilgeous-Alexander has scored 20 or more points in an NBA-record 140 consecutive regular season games, but the Spurs have held him below 20 in two of the last three contests.
In his eight minutes on the court in the Spurs’ 118-91 shredding of the Thunder on Thursday night, Bryant relentlessly hounded Gilgeous-Alexander, who finished 6 of 18 from the field and 0 of 5 from 3-point territory.
Bryant, 20, also ripped down four rebounds to help the Spurs win the battle of the boards 52-43.
“For him to be a rookie and come in and there’s no drop off defensively, that alone says a lot,” Spurs guard Stephon Castle said. "For him to come in and give us a breather and defensive rebound for us and try and make minimal mistakes, it’s big because we need those minutes, and in the playoffs, every possession matters.
“So when he’s doing that and making it tough on (Gilgeous-Alexander), in the long run, it definitely helps.”
The 14th overall pick’s strong effort came after Spurs coach Mitch Johnson gave him a tongue lashing after he committed a turnover in the third quarter of the Spurs’ 103-82 victory in Game 4.
“There’s much to do with what happened a couple of games ago, I know, in the visual of it,” Johnson said. "Carter has been as coachable as anybody. At times he probably is trying to do the right thing too much and that’s where at times the urgency and the competitiveness of myself comes out because I just want that kid to play fast and aggressive. He has as good of raw instincts (as anybody) and when he plays free and allows his instincts to follow his athleticism and aggressiveness, good things happen.
“And when he can be disciplined a little bit on top of it, it’s fun to watch.”

Sharpshooters join elite list: Devin Vassell and Julian Champagnie finished Thursday night’s game with four and two 3-pointers, respectively, to become just the fourth and fifth players in Spurs history to amass 40-plus treys in a single playoff run.
The others are Manu Ginobili (twice), Michael Finley and Danny Green (twice).
Vassell and Champagnie are the first teammates to ever do it in the same postseason.
Vassell enters Game 7 on Saturday shooting 36.6% from deep (41 of 112) after going 4 of 7 en route to 12 points on Thursday night. Champagnie is shooting 37.4% (40 of 107) after connecting on 2 of 6 on his way to 10 points on Thursday night.
