卫冕冠军被拉下王座。
周六晚上的西部决赛第七场生死战中，面对俄克拉荷马城主场球迷的漫天嘘声，圣安东尼奥马刺队毫无惧色。他们凭借均衡的攻势、出色的三分手感以及令人窒息的防守，以 111-103 拿下胜利。
马刺队就此挺进 NBA 总决赛，将向队史第六座总冠军奖杯（也是自 2014 年以来的首冠）发起冲击。他们的对手将是纽约尼克斯队，总决赛首战将于周三在圣安东尼奥打响。
荣膺西决 MVP 的维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 贡献了 22 分和 7 个篮板，但马刺队的胜利离不开全员的挺身而出。德阿隆·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 打出了他在这轮系列赛中最出色的一场比赛，屡屡在关键时刻命中关键球，浇灭雷霆队的反扑气焰。他全场斩获 15 分、5 次助攻和 3 次抢断。
朱利安·尚帕尼 (Julian Champagnie) 砍下 20 分并抢下 6 个篮板。卢克·科内特 (Luke Kornet) 在比赛后期送出了一记精彩的追身大帽，拒绝了俄克拉荷马城中锋以赛亚·哈尔滕施泰因 (Isaiah Hartenstein) 的出手，这一防守直接带动了关键的 4 分分差逆转。凯尔登·约翰逊 (Keldon Johnson) 在第四节命中了两记价值连城的三分球，全场贡献 11 分。
雷霆队阵中连续两届常规赛 MVP 得主谢伊·吉尔杰斯-亚历山大 (Shai Gilgeous-Alexander) 轰下全场最高的 35 分并送出 9 次助攻，但仍独木难支，无法抵挡马刺队多点开花的攻势。
以下是周六晚抢七大战的几大看点与总结。
圣安东尼奥的幕后英雄
当文班亚马领到第五次犯规，而整个赛季的命运悬于一线时，你该怎么办？
那就化身为“文班”。
科内特仅仅替补登场打了两个防守回合，但在这两个回合中，他防守端的身影简直像极了文班。当文班亚马重新披挂上阵后，尚帕尼漏掉了篮下空无一人的他，随后迪兰·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 飞身补篮得手——这正是文班标志性的打法。
每当雷霆队发起反扑、威胁到比分时，马刺队总能有人挺身而出，超越自身角色完成关键战术。福克斯的脚踝伤势让他在这轮系列赛中状态全无、形同梦游，但他却在今晚挺身而出，打出了职业生涯最重要的一场战役。
这就是这支马刺队的魅力所在：他们战术多变，且拥有钢铁般的意志。现在，他们完成了这轮足以载入史册的系列赛大逆转，昂首挺进 NBA 总决赛。 — 杰拉德·魏斯 (Jared Weiss)，马刺随队记者
雷霆遇上了总能见招拆招的对手
在西部决赛雷霆队占据上风的阶段，他们还是那支总能拿出更多应对方案的球队。他们需要能够无惧文班亚马、直冲击筐的球员，于是他们派上了出手果断的贾里德·麦凯恩 (Jared McCain)；他们需要防守端的沉着与破坏力，于是亚历克斯·卡鲁索 (Alex Caruso) 和凯森·华莱士 (Cason Wallace) 贡献了更多能量。
在吉尔杰斯-亚历山大表现平平、令人失望的系列赛阶段，雷霆需要板凳深度来填补空缺，而他们也确实在某些时刻做到了。
但在这场漫长的七场大战决战阶段，圣安东尼奥马刺队才是那个手握所有标准答案的队伍。他们在开局火热的阶段投进了大量的转换三分，并在底角火力全开。科内特替补文班亚马登场的时间不再是防守漏洞。在引以为傲的后场组合的稳健掌控下，马刺的失误大为减少。而文班亚马也更频繁地展现出统治力，化身为那个堪称“世界第一人”的终极形态。
马刺队做出了所有必要的应对。因此，他们作为联盟新一代霸主的时代，自此拉开帷幕。 — 乔尔·洛伦齐 (Joel Lorenzi)，雷霆随队记者
客场作战，马刺尽显沉着与韧性
在 NBA 中，人们普遍相信“先发制人者胜”——这句话更多是隐喻而非字面意思。它强调的是力量、意图和侵略性。
在第七场决战中，马刺队以一种极其“雷霆”的方式完成了先发制人。文班亚马运球至底角，长臂轻舒，制造出空间后稳稳命中一记中距离跳投。
周六晚上，马刺队表现得比卫冕冠军更像那支充满活力的雷霆。他们更积极地拼抢落位，更合理地利用身体对抗。而最令人意想不到的转折是，他们显得更加沉着冷静，以一种超越其年龄的成熟，应对着主场球迷的每一次齐声呐喊和雷霆队的每一次反扑狂潮。
他们从一开场就奠定了基调。他们先发制人，而雷霆队自始至终都未能真正完成反超。 — 丹·沃伊克 (Dan Woike)，NBA 专栏作家

Spurs outduel Thunder for epic Game 7 win, advance to NBA Finals
The defending champs have been dethroned.
Facing a hostile crowd in Oklahoma City, the San Antonio Spurs showed no sign of nerves, using a balanced attack, excellent 3-point shooting and a stingy defense to pull out a 111-103 victory in Game 7 of the Western Conference finals Saturday night.
The Spurs now advance to the NBA Finals for a chance to win their sixth NBA championship — and the first since 2014. They’ll have to get past the New York Knicks to do so, with Game 1 set for Wednesday in San Antonio.
Victor Wembanyama, named the Western Conference finals MVP, had 22 points and seven rebounds, but the Spurs received contributions up and down their roster. De’Aaron Fox had perhaps his best game of the series, consistently hitting big shots to stop Thunder runs. He finished with 15 points, five assists and three steals.
Julian Champagnie scored 20 points and added six rebounds. Luke Kornet sparked a crucial four-point turnaround late in the game with a chasedown block of Oklahoma City’s Isaiah Hartenstein. Keldon Johnson hit a pair of huge 3-pointers in the fourth quarter and finished with 11 points.
OKC’s two-time reigning MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led all scorers with 35 points and also had nine assists, but it wasn’t enough to counter the varied Spurs attack.
Here are the takeaways from Saturday night’s Game 7.
Unsung heroes of San Antonio
What do you do when Wembanyama gets his fifth foul and the whole season is on the line?
You become Wemby.
Luke Kornet checked in for just two defensive possessions, looking like a Wemby on both of them. When Wembanyama came back in, Julian Champagnie missed him standing all alone under the hoop. Then, Dylan Harper came flying in for the putback, just like Wemby would.
Every time the Thunder threatened to come back, the Spurs found someone to go above and beyond their role to make a huge play. Fox’s ankle has rendered him a shell of himself all series, then he comes out and has the most important game of his career.
That’s the beauty of this Spurs team: They are loaded with versatility and determination. Now they are heading to the NBA Finals, with a series comeback for the ages. — Jared Weiss, Spurs writer
OKC runs into an opponent with answers
When Oklahoma City had the upper hand in the West finals, it was still the team that could conjure more responses. It needed players that could hurtle toward Wembanyama without fear, and it summoned the quick trigger of Jared McCain. It needed defensive poise and disruption, and it found more from Alex Caruso and Cason Wallace.
It needed depth to supplement a forgettable series from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and in moments, it did.
But San Antonio had the answers down the stretch of this seven-game series. It got an abundance of transition 3s and flourished from the corners during its hot starts. Luke Kornet’s minutes behind Wembanyama no longer felt like such a detriment. Its turnovers dwindled, with better control from its vaunted backcourt. Wembanyama more frequently channeled a version of him that could be considered the best player in the world.
The Spurs had all the responses necessary. As a result, their timeline as a juggernaut begins now. — Joel Lorenzi, Thunder writer
Spurs showed poise, grit on the road
The general belief in the NBA is that the team that hits first is usually the one who wins — a saying that’s more metaphorical than it is literal. It speaks of force, of intent, of aggression.
In Game 7, the Spurs hit first in the most Thunder way possible. Victor Wembanyama drove to the corner, extended his arm, created space and hit a midrange jumper.
Saturday night, the Spurs were more Thunder than the defending champs. They were more aggressive getting to their spots. They better used their physicality. And, in the most surprising twist, they were more poised, handling every crowd chat, every Thunder run with maturity that they shouldn’t possess.
They did it from the start. They hit first. And the Thunder never really caught up. — Dan Woike, NBA writer
