2026年6月8日，星期一，在纽约麦迪逊广场花园进行的美职篮（NBA）总决赛第三场比赛前，圣安东尼奥马刺队中锋维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 跑进球场热身，面对纽约尼克斯队球迷的漫天嘘声做出反应。
除了在周一晚上带领马刺队以 115-111 击败尼克斯队赢下第三场比赛外，维克托·文班亚马在“大苹果”纽约的闲暇时光也过得十分充实——具体来说，他是在曼哈顿最私密的公园之一放松身心，并在艺术创作中寻找内心的宁静。
以下是文班在纽约市的业余时间里放松身心的方式。
根据周日拍摄并被多家社交媒体平台转发的一段视频显示，这位马刺中锋当时正和姐姐一起坐在格拉梅西公园（Gramercy Park），静静地为19世纪传奇莎士比亚戏剧演员埃德温·布斯 (Edwin Booth) 的雕像写生。
写生这项活动本身就需要专注的观察与动作，这或许在周一晚上的比赛开始前，帮助他集中了精力。在周五晚上主场遭遇 104-105 惜败后，文班在赛后的采访中曾表示，自己当时“思绪依然有些模糊”。

“这就是问题的关键，”他补充道，“我需要更加沉着冷静，对比赛有更多的掌控力。”
这位马刺队的当家球星在周一晚上显然贯彻了这些要求。他帮助球队在开局便建立起领先优势，并最终砍下32分，外加多个篮板、盖帽和助攻，这堪称他在这轮系列赛中统治力最强的一场表现。
当被问及从第二场到第三场，球队在“比赛收尾阶段的执行力”上有了哪些改变时，文班的回答言简意赅。
“失误更少，掌控力更强，”他说道，“都是些细节。我们对待比赛更加严谨了。犯错更少，失误更少……防守带动进攻，反之亦然。”
当被问及关于画画的事情时，文班证实他周日确实花了一些时间在格拉梅西公园写生。
“我画了那个公园里的雕像。我不知道那个公园叫什么名字，”他说道。当有记者问他画得好不好时，他微笑着回答。
“还不赖，”他说道，“挺不错的。”

Victor Wembanyama spent day sketching in New York before Spurs’ Game 3
San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama reacts to a chorus of boos from New York Knicks as he runs onto the court to warm up for Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden in New York, Monday, June 8, 2026.
Aside from leading the Spurs to a 115-111 Game 3 victory against the Knicks Monday night, Victor Wembanyama has been spending his days in the Big Apple wisely — namely, by unwinding and finding artistic clarity at one of Manhattan’s most exclusive parks.
Here’s how Wemby has been unwinding his mind during his off time in New York City.
According to a clip filmed Sunday and re-posted by multiple social media outlets, the Spurs’ center spent some time sketching a statue of legendary 19th-century Shakespearean actor, Edwin Booth, while sitting beside his sister at Gramercy Park.
The task of drawing from life, which inherently requires intentional observation and movement, may have helped him center his energy before diving into Monday night’s game. In a post-game interview after Friday night’s home-turf matchup, Wemby said he said he was “still very blurry” after a narrow 105-104 loss.

“That’s the whole problem,” he added. “I need to have more poise, more control over the game.”
The Spurs’ star player clearly executed on those directives Monday night, helping build an early lead and finishing with 32 points, multiple rebounds, blocks and assists in what was arguably his most dominant performance of the series.
When asked about what changed with “late game execution” between Game 2 and Game 3, Wemby kept his answer short.
“Less mistakes, more control,” he said. “It’s the little things. We were more serious. Less mistakes. Less turnovers… Defense fuels offense, and vice versa.”
When asked about his drawing, Wemby confirmed he spent part of his Sunday sketching at Gramercy Park.
“I drew the statue of that park. I don’t know the name of the park,” he said. When a reporter asked if his drawing was any good, he replied through a smile.
“Not bad,” he said. “Pretty good.”
