好运符可以有各种各样的形式。而对于圣安东尼奥马刺来说，他们的好运符似乎是一只毛茸茸的四足哺乳动物。
马刺将在NBA总决赛中与纽约尼克斯硬碰硬，系列赛首战将于周三晚（美东时间晚8:30，ABC直播）正式打响。
就在两队球迷纷纷预测谁能捧起今年的拉里·奥布莱恩杯 (Larry O’Brien Trophy) 时，一位毛茸茸的朋友已经提前做出了她的预言。
莉洛·库 (Lilo Ku)——更广为人知的名字是“飞天柯基 (Air Corgi)”——有一个传统，那就是通过将充气篮球顶入印有对决双方队徽的桶中来预测胜者。这一次，“飞天柯基”预测马刺将通过七场大战夺冠。
在得知“飞天柯基”的预测后，马刺队直接把仪式感拉满了。
在总决赛誓师大会上，马刺队吉祥物“小野狼 (Coyote)”手提旅行袋，将莉洛的主人丹尼·库 (Denny Ku) 迎上舞台，现场DJ也适时宣布了“飞天柯基”的驾到。

现场球迷爆发出阵阵欢呼并纷纷举起手机拍照，因为“小野狼”将“飞天柯基”高高举向空中，仿佛它就是那座拉里·奥布莱恩杯。
这难道是2026版的《神犬也疯狂》（Air Bud）？
这是圣安东尼奥马刺自2014年（当时他们大比分4-1击败迈阿密热火）以来首次重返总决赛。同时，这也是马刺队史首次在没有传奇主帅格雷格·波波维奇 (Gregg Popovich) 执教的情况下征战总决赛。这轮对决也让人回想起1999年马刺与尼克斯的总决赛交锋，当时马刺同样以4-1的总比分击败纽约夺冠。值得一提的是，1999年那次总决赛也是纽约尼克斯上一次摸到总决赛的地板。
系列赛前两战将在马刺主场霜冻银行中心（Frost Bank Center）进行，随后第三、四战将移师麦迪逊广场花园（Madison Square Garden）。

2026 NBA Finals: Air Corgi predicts Spurs in seven games
Good luck charms can come in many forms. For the San Antonio Spurs, it seems to be a furry four-legged mammal.
The Spurs will go toe-to-toe with the New York Knicks in the NBA Finals, with Game 1 tipping off Wednesday night (8:30 p.m. ET, ABC).
While fans of each team made their predictions of who they think will take home the Larry O’Brien Trophy this year, a fuzzy friend has already made her prediction.
Lilo Ku, better known as Air Corgi, has a tradition of predicting the winning team by floating an inflatable basketball into bins labeled with the competing teams. In this case, Air Corgi has chosen the Spurs to win the series in seven games.
Once the Spurs found out about Air Corgi’s choice, they took things a step further.
During their Finals pep rally, the Spurs’ mascot, the Coyote, welcomed Ku’s owner, Denny Ku, onto the stage with a duffle bag as the DJ announced Air Corgi’s arrival.

Fans cheered and held up their phones as the Coyote hoisted Air Corgi in the air as if she were the Larry O’Brien Trophy.
Air Bud in 2026, much?
San Antonio is playing its first finals since 2014, when it beat the Miami Heat in five games. This also marks the team’s first finals series without legendary coach Gregg Popovich. It marks a rematch of the 1999 NBA Finals against the Knicks, when San Antonio defeated New York in five games. That series was also the last time New York made the finals.
Games 1 and 2 will take place at Frost Bank Center before moving to Games 3 and 4 at Madison Square Garden.
