圣安东尼奥马刺曾手握29分的领先优势，几乎将纽约尼克斯逼入绝境，但他们未能成功收割比赛，如今在总决赛中已陷入1-3落后的绝境。这创下了总决赛历史上的最大逆转纪录，超越了2008年波士顿凯尔特人对阵洛杉矶湖人时完成的24分大逆转。进攻端的突然哑火彻底葬送了马刺，他们遭遇了总决赛历史上最惨烈的第四节崩盘之一。系列赛将移师圣安东尼奥，他们将力图复制克利夫兰骑士在2016年创造的奇迹。
部分原因在于马刺在取得领先后面露懈怠，而尼克斯则始终保持着破釜沉舟的拼劲；当马刺想要重新拉紧防线时，已经无法阻挡对手排山倒海般的反扑之势。维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama)（得到24分，但命中率仅有36%）在首节彻底爆发，但在余下的比赛中却频频打铁，其中还包括在比赛还剩不到两分钟时错失了两次关键的罚球。球队的其他成员在关键时刻也同样掉了链子。
### 比赛观察
- 随着纽约防守强度的提升，马刺在比赛后期被迫出手了太多的跳投。有一段时间，全队打得非常局促，似乎没人敢承担投关键球的责任，直到达龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 命中一球，但他紧接着在下一回合就掉了链子。马刺本有望靠着斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 最后的关键罚球涉险过关，但在马刺领先的情况下，福克斯在快攻中选择抢投，而不是稳住球权消耗时间。结果在随后的回合中，OG·阿奴诺比 (OG Anunoby) 补篮得手，完成了准绝杀。
- 马刺的防守显得有些过于亢奋，送给了对手太多的罚球。尽管尼克斯在半场阵地战中极其艰难地寻找出手空间，但他们最终只能孤注一掷地依赖杰伦·布伦森 (Jalen Brunson) 和阿奴诺比。这一策略最终奏效，并在下半场将马刺的防线彻底撕碎。
- 德文·瓦塞尔 (Devin Vassell) 的三分外线火力为马刺注入了活力，并且这种手感极具传染性，其他队友纷纷跟进。马刺开局前32分中有18分来自三分球，这让尼克斯在半场结束前一直阵脚大乱。此外，马刺在半场便轰进了14记三分，创下了他们今年季后赛征程的半场新高。然而，他们在下半场的三分命中率骤降至18.8%。
- 在卡尔-安东尼·唐斯 (Karl-Anthony Towns) 在62秒内领到个人第二次犯规后，文班亚马主动找他进行对抗，甚至还诱使米切尔·罗宾逊 (Mitchell Robinson) 肘击了自己的下巴，导致后者被判一级恶意犯规；这在首节末段起到了关键的局势扭转作用，帮助马刺取得了当时系列赛最大的领先优势（21分）。此后，尼克斯的防守策略在限制文班方面起到了作用，但文班自己在余下的比赛中也打得有些束手束脚。
- 显而易见，季后赛中实力不俗的球队在主场面对巨大分差时，半场回来后势必会发起猛烈反扑。紧接着是一个艰难的第三节，马刺在第一次换人前就被对手打了一波10-5，此后局势愈发不可收拾。他们单节出现5次失误，投篮命中率仅为20%，在第三节进行了9分钟时一度仅命中3球。马刺在下半场的进攻犹如陷入泥潭，投丢了许多空位机会。
- 马刺的替补得分比纽约多出16分，这主要归功于迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper)。他的速度快到让任何防守者都望尘莫及，并在球队急需提振士气的关键时刻屡屡命中关键球。在这场季后赛深处的对决中，他展现出了年轻球员少有的顶级表现，只可惜这场失利让他的高光表现被无情掩盖。

> # San Antonio at New York, Final Score: Spurs blow massive lead, lose heartbreaker 107-106
>
> 
>
> The San Antonio Spurs had the New York Knicks dead to rights with a 29 point lead, but failed to close the show and have fallen into a 3-1 hole in the Finals. This is now the biggest comeback in Finals history, surpassing the Boston Celtics’ 24-point comeback against the Los Angeles Lakers in 2008. The offense loosing its force doomed them and they suffered one of the worst fourth-quarter collapses in Finals history. The series shifts back to San Antonio and they will attempt to do what only the Cleveland Cavaliers did in 2016.
>
> Part of the problem was the team got satisfied with their work while the Knicks remained desperate and they were too late to prevent a tsunami when trying to flip the switch. Victor Wembanyama (24 points on 36 percent shooting) went berserk in the first quarter, but laid a stack of bricks the rest of the game, which included missing a pair of big freebies with fewer than two minutes left. The rest of the team folded in key moments as well.
>
> ### Observations
>
> - The offense was forced to take too many jumpers late in the game as New York’s pressure tightened up. For a while, the team was playing tight and everyone seemed reluctant to take the big shot, until De’Aaron Fox hit one, but folded on the next one. It appeared they were going to be bailed out by Stephon Castle’s late freebies, but Fox took a quick shot on the break instead of holding the ball when the Spurs were up. OG Anunoby hit the game-winning tip-in on the next possession.
> - The defense was a bit exuberant, allowing too many free throws, but the Knicks were working extra hard to find shots in the half court, yet they eventually resorted to Brunson and OG Anunoby or bust. That ended up working and tore up the Spurs in the second half.
> - Devin Vassell’s 3-point shooting injected life into the Spurs and was contagious because the others followed his lead. Eighteen of the team’s first 32 points came from 3-pointers, and this had the Knicks shaky until halftime. Additionally, the Spurs logged 14 first-half treys, which is the most in their playoff run. They then shot 18.8 percent from deep in the second half.
> - Wembanyama went at Towns when he picked up his second foul in 62 seconds, and even baited Robinson into elbowing him in the jaw, causing a flagrant one; it had a big swing late in the first quarter and helped them take their biggest lead of the series (21) to that point. The Knicks coverages were later a factor in slowing Wemby down, but he also played tight the rest of the way.
> - Naturally, quality teams at home in the playoffs come out thundering at halftime when facing a large deficit. A rough third quarter followed as the Spurs gave up a 10-5 run by the first substitution and it got worse from there. They committed five turnovers, shot 20 percent in the period and at one point had made only three field goals after nine minutes. The Spurs played the second half in the mud and missed many open shots.
> - The Spurs’ bench outscored New York’s by 16, and Dylan Harper deserves most of the credit for that. He was too fast for whoever was in front of him, and he nailed baskets in big moments when they team need a boost. He had one of the great performances by a youngster this late in the playoffs that will be forgotten because of the loss.

> 达龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 就是个身价2.1亿的移动灾难。你抢断之后只要把球运完就行了。等着被犯规。这个_老将_脑子里到底在想些什么？你怎么能做出这么愚蠢的决定？更不用说下半场他至少有4次失误，都是漫不经心地把球传回球场中央。他被引进来专门是为了当定海神针的，相比之下，迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 简直让他无地自容。
>
> 更别跟我提米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 了。他居然不用暂停来阻止对手的起势（17-4的冲击波还不配叫个暂停？！），在第三节球队在进攻时间刚过5秒就连续狂飙8个三分球、像在参加田径比赛一样时，他也没有督促球队停止这种行为（这难道不该叫个暂停吗？）。而且他甚至连挑战几个争议判罚的尝试都没有。还有哈珀踩在半场线边缘的时候？直接叫个该死的暂停不就完了。

> [@Tropicaldaze](#):

> 我必须把很大一部分责任归咎于米奇·约翰逊，以及我们在总决赛中经历的其他几次比赛后期的崩盘。卢克·科内特 (Luke Kornet) 只打了四分钟，其他专职大个子甚至一分钟都没打。这让一支极其年轻且缺乏季后赛经验的球队，尤其是文班，不得不顶着极度疲劳去拼完压力巨大的比赛，这对他们要求太高了。米奇·约翰逊需要让哈里森·巴恩斯 (Harrison Barnes)/科内特组合去消耗一些时间，因为他现在正在把维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 往死里用。此外，巴恩斯的体型至少能对阿奴诺比造成一点困扰，这至关重要，因为OG现在简直要把我们杀死了。
> [@Veggiedelite](#):

> 有太多细节可以也将会被剖析，这是一个漫长的夜晚，我可能会尽量在下一场比赛前不上网，以避免看到即将到来的各种口水战，但福克斯今晚真的让我崩溃了。我一整年都是他的黑粉，之前还拼命想抱有希望，但完成那次抢断后，他只需要跑开远离其他球员，比赛大概率就赢了，而下一个回合，他又漏掉了OG没有卡位，在文班去干扰布伦森时，他只是站在空地上看着，这些画面我永远也忘不掉。他应该感到羞耻。被带过来当我们的老将领袖，结果他却是整个阵容里最不沉着的人。对所有相关人员来说，这都是一场令人尴尬的失利。

> 米奇·约翰逊的拥护者们今晚应该无话可说了。我们中一些人所担心的事情在这次季后赛中一次、一次、又一次地重演。虽然像常规赛一样，我们在大部分时间里能够依靠天赋过关，除了在我们需要做出重大调整时，波波会在比赛间隙出来拯救世界。除了波波的那些干预之外，米奇·约翰逊似乎根本没有能力或兴趣去管理比赛、在比赛之间做出调整、运行一套强调我们最好的球员进入禁区的进攻体系，他只是满足于让一群20岁的孩子自己去解决问题。
>
> 今年我们已经见过几十次这种情况了，而所有那些“他会想明白的！”警告性回复都只是盲目的信任，并没有得到回报。我们球队赢了62场比赛是因为天赋，而不是因为执教。虽然米奇·约翰逊不插手可能有助于取得令人瞩目的常规赛战绩，但在七场四胜制的系列赛中，当对方教练专门针对你制定战术并做出调整时，我不认为继续这样做是一条可行的道路。
>
> 我们的进攻看起来毫无头绪，没有方向。我们在下半场出来时看起来就像一支完全不同的球队——不仅是今晚，今年已经有好几次了。我们能取得巨大的领先，再次强调，是因为天赋，但随后又丢掉领先，是因为米奇·约翰逊拒绝管理战术计划。当我们表现沉闷时，他没有接过控制权并实施一套包含让我们取得领先的战术，而是坐视我们满足于投三分、在外线站立，并让对方的同一些人在另一端投进一个又一个致命球。这真TM让人气愤。
>
> 米奇·约翰逊是波波的人，所以波波永远不会对他采取任何行动。除非维克托开口。我希望他能开口。我喜欢米奇·约翰逊的性格，但我的天啊。我们看到他犯了多少明显的错误——把福克斯留在阵容中、把哈珀排除在外、在对方起势后才叫暂停、在我们的队员手感热时把他们换下、没有让维克托参与到进攻中——却因为未能调整而一再重复这些错误？他到底是在执教这支球队，还是波波在执教？在波波对球队讲话之前，我们对阵雷霆落后了2场，这促使米奇·约翰逊终于意识到在进攻端把文班放在禁区的重要性。做出调整后，我们赢了。然后，下一场比赛，同样的事情又发生了。就好像米奇·约翰逊从前一场比赛中什么也没学到一样。在这个系列赛中我们落后了两场……然后终于做出了调整，赢了，并且本该再次赢球，结果米奇·约翰逊在下半场再次偏离了那个计划。

> 这场失利是福克斯、文班和教练的责任。
> 福克斯显然是这场失利的最大原因。在时间还剩13秒时，他本可以控住球消耗时间并等待对方犯规。相反，他选择在阿奴诺比在身后伺机而动的情况下强行突破。我以为他会消耗时间，我很惊讶他居然选择去尝试那个糟糕的上篮。他是个老将。我对他有更高的期望。多年前马努曾多次处于那种情况下，他总是拥有运球消耗时间的高球商。纽约当时已经处于犯规罚球状态。他绝对可以去罚球的。
> 即使势头已经转向纽约，我们仍然有机会赢得胜利。文班在还剩1分47秒时错失了两个关键罚球。这太致命了。在此之前，他的侵略性已经消失了，只满足于投三分。同样，当他有大空位可以投中距离时，为什么还要顶着两个身材矮小的防守队员强行突破？
> 三分线外43投17中，投篮86投43中。想象一下，他们有一半的出手来自三分线。他们成也三分，败也三分。当下半场投篮显然不准时，他们为什么还要继续投三分？纽约当时已经处于犯规罚球状态。他们本可以通过突破禁区来利用这一点。他们有3名喜欢冲击内线的后卫。他们偏离了行之有效的打法。阵容总是4个后卫和1个中锋，但后者总是留在外线防守身材更小的球员。没有人防守禁区。布伦森利用了这一点，总是选择突破，因为没有文班去干扰他的投篮。
> 此外，他们下半场只得到了20分。作为唯一一支在半场取得27分领先的球队，当你也是那支放弃领先并崩盘的球队时，这毫无意义。这是米奇·约翰逊的责任。

Kornet played only four minutes and no other dedicated big played even a minute. This leaves an extremely young and playoff inexperienced team, especially Wemby, trying to fight through utter exhaustion to finish out incredibly stess-packed games, and that’s asking way too much of them. Mitch needs to have a Barnes/Kornet pairing soak up some minutes because he’s running Victor into the ground right now, and furthermore Barnes’ size might bother Anunoby at least a little bit, which is critical because O.G. is just killing us right now.

I had commented earlier today before this game with that Castle 3pt in game 3 that bailed him out was terrible offense by Wemby. Since all these games were determined in final minute we are seeing it play out more and more every game. To see it play out yet again in this game was shocking. He seems like a very bright kid which why it’s perplexing to see his poor decision making in big moments and end of game decisions. I guess can blame it on inexperience plus bad coaching? Not sure what’s going on but it’s becoming a trend which is something to keep eye out on..

Some guys are born with the ability to thrive in big moments (Jordan, Bird, etc.) Others take time to develop it after many painful lessons (LeBron). I don’t think the game has fully slowed down yet for Wemby, particularly in late game situations. The good news is that he does not shy away from taking big shots. But right now his decision-making and his execution leave a lot to be desired.

They don’t deserve the championship if they cannot learn from their mistakes. This is the exact same kind of collapse as those two Cavs games.

Like the regular season, though, we were able to ride on talent most of the way, save for Pop coming in to save the day between games when we needed to make a major adjustment. Other than those Pop interventions, it hasn’t seemed like Mitch Johnson has the capacity or interest in managing games, adjusting between games, running an offense that emphasizes our best player getting in the paint, and is content to just let a group of 20 year olds figure it out on their own.

Our team won 62 games due to talent, not coaching.

We get big leads because, again, talent, but then lose them because Mitch refuses to manage the gameplan. When we come out flat, instead of taking the reins and imposing a scheme that incorporates the thing that got us those leads, he sits back and watches as we settle for 3’s, stand around the perimeter, and let the same guys hit dagger after dagger on the other end. It is fucking infuriating.

How many obvious mistakes have we seen him make — leaving Fox in the lineups, leaving Harper out of them, letting the other team get hot before calling time out, pulling our guys when they’re hot, not getting Vic involved in the offense — only to repeat those mistakes by failing to adjust? Is he even coaching this team, or is Pop? We went down 2 games to OKC before Pop spoke to the team, leading Mitch to finally realize the importance of putting Wemby in the paint on offense. An adjustment was made, and we won. Then, the next game, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. As if Mitch learned NOTHING from the game before. We went down two games in _this_ series…then FINALLY made the adjustment, won, and should’ve won again before Mitch once again strayed from that plan in the second half.

Wemby is cocky but he showed his basketball IQ in closing moments. I knew spurs would fail when I would see the open man for the 3. Wemby was always showing up late because he was lost when on defense and when he didn’t play the high screen right. No communication among players when screen was coming. Just feel defeated!

> > Fox was clearly the biggest reason for this loss. With 13 sec left in the clock, he could have just hold on to the ball with the clock winding down and waited for the foul. Instead, he chose to drive with Anunoby lurking from behind. I thought he was gonna milk the clock and I was surprised that he went for the lame layup. He’s a veteran. I expected more from him. Manu was in that situation many times years back and he always had that high basketball IQ of dribbling out the clock. NY was in the penalty. For sure, he could’ve shot free throws.
> > Even if the momentum has shifted in favor of NY, there was still a chance to get the W. Wemby missed on both of his clutch free throws with 1:47 left. Those are huge. Prior to that, his aggressiveness was gone and only settled for 3s. Again, why does he need to drive against two small defenders when he’s widely open to shoot the midrange.
> > 17/43 from the 3-point line43/86 FGImagine half of their shots came from 3. They lived and died by the three. Why would they keep on shooting from three when the shots clearly weren’t falling in the 2nd half? NY was already in the penalty. They could have taken advantage of that by driving down the lane. They have 3 guards who love to go downhill. They went away from what was working. The lineup is always 4 guards and a center but the latter is always in the perimeter guarding smaller players. No one’s guarding the paint. Brunson took advantage of that and always went for the drive because there was no Wemby to contest his shot.Also, they only scored 20 points in the second half. Being the only team that took a 27-point lead in the half is nothing when you’re also the same team that gave it up and choked . This is on Mitch Johnson.

> > When we were up 27 at the half, I was telling my dad, that I was even more nervous than if we had a 12 pt lead…besides CHUCKING 3s, I honestly felt like it was starting to slip away, seeing Wemby smiling and laughing as the lead dwindled in the 3rd qtr…there were a few errors where he laughed it off, instead of getting angry…I could tell the Spurs already thought it was over…still thought we would win…never in my life, did I think I would watch the Spurs CHOKE AWAY the worst NBA playoff loss in terms of points, but what’s MOST DISAPPOINTING, is they knew what was on the line…this is one of the WORST LOSSES in NBA Finals history bc of what was at stake…the difference between series tied 2-2 or down 3-1…HORRIBLE CHOKE…it’s sad…
