在今晚的大部分时间里，圣安东尼奥马刺队看起来都将用一场强势的胜利开启2026年NBA总决赛。然而，他们最终却只能带着难以置信的表情黯然离场。
周三晚上，在冰霜银行中心（Frost Bank Center）举行的NBA总决赛首战中，纽约尼克斯队在最后两分钟打出一波11-0的高潮收割比赛，将第三节一度落后14分的劣势转化为105-95的逆转胜利，击败了马刺队。凭借这场胜利，纽约抢走了主场优势，并在七局四胜制的总冠军争夺战中取得了1-0的领先。
此外，这也是圣安东尼奥马刺队史首次输掉总决赛的第一场比赛。
“我确实知道，我们在防守端出现了几次崩溃，无论是沟通还是轮防问题，”马刺队主教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 在谈到球队在下半场痛失两位数领先优势时说道，“还有几次，感觉我们在进攻端打得不合理。”
马刺队在上半场似乎顶住了纽约队发起的每一次反扑，带着7分的领先优势进入更衣室。随后，他们在下半场建立了两位数的领先，在主场球迷震耳欲聋的欢呼声中越战越勇，并在比赛后期看着维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 开始慢慢找到节奏。
随后，杰伦·布伦森 (Jalen Brunson) 接管了比赛。他在第四节砍下了全场最高30分中的13分，带领球队完成惊天逆转，夺得系列赛开门红。卡尔-安东尼·唐斯 (Karl-Anthony Towns) 贡献了18分和12个篮板，而OG·阿奴诺比 (OG Anunoby) 也为纽约添上17分。这是纽约自1999年以来首次重返总决赛。
文班亚马遭遇了一个不堪回首的总决赛首秀，全场21投仅6中，得到26分。尽管他还抢下了12个篮板，但终究无力回天。
“我会解决这个问题的。我今晚打得很糟糕，”文班亚马在赛后表示，“事情就是这么简单，没那么复杂。”
“我们需要给篮筐施加压力，并在禁区内展现强硬，”约翰逊教练补充道，“他们显然在身体对抗和协防包夹上做得很好。我们需要在比赛初期就更好地确立这一点。”
在当家球星进攻端挣扎的情况下，马刺队不得不寻找其他的得分点。新秀迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 替补登场贡献16分，斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 砍下17分，而朱利安·尚帕尼 (Julian Champagnie) 在上半场就拿下15分，为球队提供了早期的火力支持。达龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 则始终未能找到进攻节奏，全场13投仅3中，仅得7分。
这场对于西部冠军而言原本充满希望的夜晚，最终却在球馆的寂静中收场，只留下远征得克萨斯州的尼克斯球迷在尽情庆祝，纽约也将他们的季后赛连胜纪录扩大到了12场。
马刺队现在面临着一个熟悉的挑战：尝试在季后赛失利后做出回应。在对阵明尼苏达（森林狼）的次轮系列赛中，他们就曾输掉首战，随后在第二场强势反弹；在西部决赛对阵俄克拉荷马城雷霆时，他们也曾以1-2和2-3落后，最终通过一场惊心动魄的抢七大战胜出才挺进总决赛。为了避免带着0-2落后的被动局面前往纽约，当系列赛于周五晚上在圣安东尼奥继续进行时，他们需要做出同样的强势回应。
“我们以前在系列赛中也曾落后过，”文班亚马说，“当然，在总决赛中这还是第一次。但我不会自责，我一点也不担心。”
G1给人们上了一堂痛苦的课，让人清醒地认识到，在篮球最高的舞台上，容错率是多么的低。在长达46分钟的时间里，马刺队看起来都准备好了要率先掌控总决赛的局势。
但最后的两分钟，属于布伦森和尼克斯。
## 比赛观察
- 正如前主教练格雷格·波波维奇 (Gregg Popovich) 常说的那样，三分球的命中率决定了比赛的走向。马刺队在三分线外仅有25%的命中率，而纽约则为30%。在这样一场势均力敌的较量中，5%的差距至关重要。
- 如果马刺队继续在下半场痛失领先优势，或者文班亚马、福克斯和德文·瓦塞尔 (Devin Vassell) 三人合计仅打出45投13中的低迷表现，他们是无法赢得总冠军的。幸运的是，我不认为这些家伙在接下来的总决赛中还会打出如此糟糕的表现。
- 尽管马刺队打得如此糟糕，但他们距离赢下比赛也仅差最后2分钟。这依然是令人鼓舞的。
- 篮板球将是这个系列赛的关键，而在第一场比赛中，双方在篮板拼抢上平分秋色。

> # Spurs let Game 1 slip away as Knicks steal opening game of NBA Finals
>
> 
>
> For most of the night, the San Antonio Spurs looked like they were going to start open the 2026 NBA Finals with a statement win. Instead, they were left walking off the court in disbelief.
>
> The New York Knicks closed the game on an 11-0 run over the final two minutes Wednesday night, turning a 14-point third quarter deficit into a 105-95 victory over the Spurs in Game 1 of the NBA Finals at Frost Bank Center. With the win, New York stole homecourt and took a 1-0 series lead in the best-of-seven championship series.
>
> Additionally, San Antonio lost its first NBA Finals Game 1 in franchise history.
>
> “I do know there was a combination of a few times defensive breakdowns, whether it was communication or rotations,” Spurs Head Coach Mitch Johnson said of the Spurs losing their double-digit lead in the second half. “There was a few times it felt like we didn’t have an appropriate offensive possession.”
>
> The Spurs appeared to have weathered every punch that New York threw at them in the first half, taking a seven point lead into the locker room. Then, they built a double-digit lead in the second half, fed off a roaring home crowd, and watched Victor Wembanyama begin to slowly find his rhythm late.
>
> Then Jalen Brunson took over for the Knicks. He scored 13 of his game-high 30 points in the fourth quarter as he powered his team to a stunning series opening win. Karl-Anthony Towns added 18 points and 12 rebounds, while OG Anunoby chipped in 17 points for New York, who returned to the Finals for the first time since 1999.
>
> Wembanyama had a Finals debut to forget, finishing with 26 points while shooting just 6-for-21 from the floor. He added 12 rebounds in a losing effort.
>
> “I’m going to figure it out. I was bad tonight,” Wembanayama said after the game. “It’s not more complicated than that.”
>
> “We need the pressure on the rim and the force in the paint,” Coach Johnson added. “They did a good job of obviously being physical and showing crowds. We need to do a better job of establishing that early on.”
>
> With the Spurs’ star struggling offensively, the Spurs had to look elsewhere for points. Rookie Dylan Harper scored 16 points off the bench, Stephon Castle added 17, and Julian Champagnie provided an early spark with 15 points in the first half. De’Aaron Fox never found his offensive rhythm as he finished with just seven points on 3-for-13 shooting from the floor.
>
> What began as a promising night for the Western Conference champions ended with a quiet arena and a celebration by the Knicks fans who made the trip to Texas as New York extended its playoff winning streak to 12 games.
>
> The Spurs now face a familiar challenge: try to respond after a playoff loss. They dropped Game 1 of their second-round series against Minnesota before responding in Game 2 and were also down 2-1 and 3-2 to the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference Finals before a thrilling Game 7 win to reach these Finals. To avoid heading to New York in a deep 0-2 hole, they’ll need a similar response when the series resumes Friday night in San Antonio.
>
> “We’ve been down in a series before,” Wembanyama said. “Never in the finals, obviously. But I’m not kicking myself about anything. I’m not worried in the slightest.”
>
> Game 1 offered a painful reminder of how slim the margin for error can be on basketball’s biggest stage. For 46 minutes, the Spurs looked ready to take early control of the NBA Finals.
>
> The final two minutes belonged to Brunson and the Knicks.
>
> ## Game Notes
>
> - As former coach Gregg Popovich used to say, the three-point shooting tells the story. The Spurs shot just 25 percent from deep compared to 30 percent for New York. That five percent difference matters in a close matchup like this.
> - The Spurs won’t win a championship giving up a second half lead or Wembanyama, Fox, and Vassell shooting a combined 13-for-45 from the field. Luckily, I don’t see those guys having this bad of a game again in these Finals.
> - As bad as the Spurs played, they were 2 minutes away from getting the win. That’s encouraging.
> - Rebounding is going to be key in this series and in Game 1, the battle was even.

> 不过老实说，我觉得马刺打得挺不错的……大部分时间防守策略都很到位，文班防守唐斯并根据需要协防回禁区，同时外线防守者堵死突破路线，这些都做得很好。
>
> 文班确实让唐斯过了几步，这让我有点失望，可能是因为文班在防守端太想兼顾所有事情了。
>
> 这场比赛输在进攻端，主要是因为福克斯和文班的糟糕表现（尽管文班的罚球尝试稍微弥补了他低迷的进攻），在较小程度上还有瓦塞尔。
>
> 此外，巴恩斯并没有做出太多贡献……而且我不确定让布莱恩特去防布伦森是不是个好主意……布伦森简直是在戏耍他。
>
> 我觉得卡特如果去防对方的前锋，并在拼抢篮板上做出贡献，效果可能会更好。
> [@Jwat](#):
>
> 这不是什么新鲜事。当文班防到罚球线以上，或者在三分线外出手时，马刺就抢不到篮板。尚帕尼在上半场手感火热，但由于轮换阵容中没有一个合格的4号位，进攻端仍然显得有些失衡。布莱恩特并不能改变这一点。而且除了哈珀（他应该多打打）之外，替补阵容偏弱。

> 我相信这个系列赛我们是有机会赢的，但目前来看，尼克斯似乎是更强硬的那支球队。

>
> 不幸的是，这场比赛与上一轮系列赛的第五场非常相似。达龙、德文、维克托和米奇都打得很糟糕。我们不能让这些家伙把这样一场比赛给放跑了。

> 我不喜欢这场比赛的氛围。现场有相当多的纽约球迷（他们花了数千美元从当地球迷手里买票，所以也没什么好抱怨的），但从人数上看，现场的声势感觉是五五开，而原本最差也应该是八二开。主场球迷不能让那20%的纽约富人球迷在气势上压倒自己。
>
> 这是一个糟糕的投篮之夜，但当像尚帕尼和瓦塞尔这样的球员在空位三分投出三不沾时，你就知道场上的能量不对劲了。
> [@Spur\_Monkey](#):
>
> 我觉得当福克斯错失那个中（短）距离投篮，然后又在防守端犯规时，比赛就输掉了。
>
> 13投3中！？23%的命中率？
>
> 我真希望福克斯能开始转型，向更快速的克里斯·保罗 (Chris Paul) 风格靠拢，专注于组织进攻而不是一味单打。他并不是布伦森。
>
> 文班似乎也无法进入状态，在禁区内被对手欺负。
>
> 这是一场令人失望的失利，因为他们离胜利如此之近，而且这场比赛真的很重要。
>
> 只有哈珀、卡斯尔和尚帕尼在进攻端真正站了出来。还有文班频繁制造犯规。
>
> 唉。
>
> 输掉这场比赛后我感到很愤怒。
> [@Dave 100](#):
>
> 马刺在第一场比赛中绝对打出了赢球的表现。我认为输球的责任在主教练，因为他让文班在三分线外待了太长时间。除了缺乏高百分比的出手选择外，他在外线游走也放弃了抢篮板和补篮的机会。
> 不管我们愿不愿意承认，第一次打总决赛的压力确实更大了。在第二场比赛中，如果马刺大比分落后，三分球命中率可能会更糟糕。我们需要打得更聪明，让文班更频繁地进入禁区。

>
> 在我看来，在上半场和下半场我们有机会大比分领先时，米奇把文班换下了场。

> [@born a hoya](#):
>
> 我对文班有时表现得如此被动、一味地等待比赛节奏找上他感到困惑，我希望他能更有统治力。总而言之，我们没有保护好球，轻易送出了球权。这不是我习惯看到的。进攻端显得很拥挤。要不是有哈珀，情况会更难看。我期待看到球队能解决这个问题并扭转局面。

> > 我的天，没意识到居然这么惨。每次卡斯尔投三分我都提心吊胆，你甚至可以说福克斯用他的投篮把我们送走了。这两个人需要减少三分出手，把机会留给我们的射手。至少当文班手感冰凉时，他的防守和牵制力还能产生巨大影响，但哇，福克斯真是太糟糕了。他已经好几场比赛没有一路突破到篮下了。他现在成了一个跳投手，而这是他的弱点。管他什么面子……米奇必须拉下面子，给哈珀大量的出场时间。
> >
> > 哈珀是健康的，而福克斯不是。但我还是觉得米奇没有胆量在最后关头坚持使用手热的球员。这可能让我们付出了比赛的代价。在目前这个关头，哈珀几乎在每个方面都比福克斯做得更好。他一上场就能改变/扭转比赛局势……
> >
> > 他们在最后时刻抢到了那个关键的进攻篮板，你就知道布伦森一定会投进那个三分球。

Not what I’ve been used to seeing. The offense seemed crowded. If not for Harper things would have looked uglier. I look to see the team figure this out and turn things around.

Those two need to throttle back on the 3s and leave those to our shooters. At least when Wemby is cold his defense and gravity leave a bit imprint but wow Fox was bad. Hasn’t gotten all the way to the basket in several games. He’s a jump shooter now and that’s a weakness of his. Egos be damned…Mitch gotta suck it up and play Harper heavy minutes
