2026年6月4日星期四，在NBA总决赛首战圣安东尼奥马刺以95-105不敌纽约尼克斯后，马刺前锋哈里森·巴恩斯 (Harrison Barnes) 在圣安东尼奥霜冻银行中心的新闻发布会上回答提问。
马刺老将哈里森·巴恩斯给他的年轻队友们捎去了一条信息：不要把打进NBA总决赛当成理所当然的事。
“你们根本无法想象这有多难，”在周五晚上对阵纽约尼克斯的第二场比赛前的投篮训练结束后，巴恩斯说道。
“每年你都必须从旅程的起点重新开始，从山脚下重新开始攀登，而健康是其中至关重要的一部分，”这位前锋补充道，“所以，我不认为我们应该抱有‘这是他们唯一的全力一搏’或者‘因为我们年轻，所以我们未来还有很多机会’这样的心态。这可能是两支球队在未来很长一段时间内最后一次打进总决赛。谁也说不准。”
凭借着由2023年状元秀维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 领衔，并包括近期的乐透秀斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle)、迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 和卡特·布莱恩特 (Carter Bryant) 在内的年轻核心阵容，马刺拥有着光明的未来。
“迪伦·哈珀和卡特，这两个家伙是最幸运的人，刚从大学走出来，就赢了60场比赛（实际上是62场常规赛胜利），并在新秀赛季就打进了总决赛。他们还没经历过其他的境遇，”巴恩斯说，“作为两个乐透秀，他们还不知道硬币的另一面是什么样。我觉得能看到年轻人那种兴奋劲是件好事。”
但34岁的巴恩斯深知，年轻时打进总决赛并不意味着年年都能重返这个舞台。2015年，22岁的他随金州勇士队夺得NBA总冠军，并在接下来的一个赛季再次征战总决赛（当时勇士负于克利夫兰骑士）。然而，在2016年夏天以受限制自由球员身份签约达拉斯独行侠后，他不得不又等待了10个赛季，才得以在马刺重新站上总决赛的舞台。
哈里森·巴恩斯谈到马刺的韧性：
“这一整年我们克服了许多逆境，并且能够以许多不同的方式赢下比赛。所以我们只需依靠这些经验，尤其是在季后赛期间。我们有信心做出回应。” pic.twitter.com/OD5btB4pPP— Spurs Nation (@ Spurs_Nation) 2026年6月5日
此外还有这样一个事实：无论哪支球队赢得这轮系列赛，NBA都将连续第八个赛季诞生不同的总冠军，这延续了联盟历史上最长的纪录。在俄克拉荷马雷霆于2025年总决赛击败印第安纳步行者之后，许多联盟观察家曾预测这支年轻的雷霆将建立一个王朝。
但随后，异军突起的马刺在西部决赛中苦战七场，将卫冕冠军斩落马下。
“没有人能保证你们一定会变得更好，”巴恩斯说，“看看过去五支打进总决赛的球队。其中有多少支是大家都说‘哦，雷霆未来三年都会打进总决赛’、‘菲尼克斯未来三年都会在那里’的？密尔沃基、丹佛，每一次都是如此，你根本无法预料。”
双方的第二场对决将于晚上7:30在霜冻银行中心进行。在周三晚上的首战中，尼克斯以105-95先下一城。

Harrison Barnes warns Spurs not to take Finals berth for granted
San Antonio Spurs forward Harrison Barnes answers questions during a news conference at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Thursday, June 4, 2026, following a 105-95 loss to the New York Knicks in Game 1 of the NBA Finals.
Spurs elder statesman Harrison Barnes has a message for his younger teammates: Don’t take being in the NBA Finals for granted.
“You have no idea,” Barnes said after shootaround ahead of Game 2 against the New York Knicks on Friday night.
“Every single year you have to begin at the start of the journey, the start of the mountain and climb, and health is a major part of it," the forward added. "So, I don’t think it’s necessarily a mentality where we say, ‘This is their only shot,’ (or) ‘Just because we’re young, we have a lot of different opportunities.’ This may be the last time both teams are in the Finals for a while. We have no idea.”
With a young core led by 2023 No. 1 overall pick Victor Wembanyama that includes recent lottery picks Stephon Castle, Dylan Harper and Carter Bryant, the Spurs have a bright future.
“Dylan Harper and Carter, those guys are the luckiest guys, just walking in from college, winning 60 (actually 62 regular season games), getting to the Finals in their rookie year. They don’t known anything different,” Barnes said. “Two lottery picks, they don’t know the different side of it. I think it’s good to see the excitement of that youthfulness.”
But Barnes, 34, knows a berth in the Finals as a young player doesn’t guarantee return trips year after year. He won an NBA title in 2015 at age 22 with Golden State and played in the Finals the next season when the Warriors lost to Cleveland, but then had to wait 10 more seasons to play in another Finals with the Spurs after he signed with Dallas as a restricted free agent in summer 2016.
Harrison Barnes on the Spurs’ resilient nature:
“We’ve been able to overcome a lot of adversity throughout the year, and we’ve been able to win in a lot of different ways. So we just rely on that experience, especially during the playoffs. We feel confident we can respond.” pic.twitter.com/OD5btB4pPP— Spurs Nation (@ Spurs_Nation) June 5, 2026
And then there’s this: No matter which team wins this series, the NBA will have a different champion for the eighth straight season, extending the longest such streak in league history. After Oklahoma City beat Indiana in the 2025 Finals, many league observers predicted a dynasty for the young Thunder.
But along came the upstart Spurs to beat the defending champs in seven games in the Western Conference finals.
“There’s no guarantee you are going to get better,” Barnes said. “Look at the last five teams that have been in the Finals. How many of them everyone said, Oh, OKC is going to here for the next three years. Phoenix is going to be there for the next three years. Milwaukee, Denver, every single time, you have no idea.”
Game 2 is set for 7:30 p.m. at the Frost Bank Center. The Knicks won the opener 105-95 on Wednesday night.
