圣安东尼奥——维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 投失了2026年NBA总决赛的最后一投，他拉出球衣，带着他那7英尺4英寸（约2.24米）的消瘦身躯，在失利的落寞中径直走向圣安东尼奥马刺队的更衣室。
他没有给纽约尼克斯队送上祝贺的握手，尼克斯以94-90赢下了第五场比赛，并以总比分4-1夺得总冠军。他没有留在场上驻足，没有在尼克斯队疯狂庆祝时去刻骨铭心地感受这份痛楚。他只是径直走向球员通道，回到更衣室，走向发布会讲台，然后开启休赛期。
“这很痛苦。但我不会逃避，”文班亚马说道，他本场比赛19投7中，得到19分和14个篮板。“我会以此作为前进的动力。”
22岁的文班亚马是一位法国超级巨星，在职业生涯的第三个赛季就荣膺NBA年度最佳防守球员。他在总决赛中场均贡献26分、11.2个篮板和3.6次盖帽。马刺队在本系列赛的每一场比赛中都曾领先过两位数，但在其中四场比赛中惨遭逆转，而文班亚马在其中三场失利中犯下了一些关键性的错误。
在第五场比赛中，文班亚马在第四节仅有5投1中。实际上，当他投失那记最后的三分球时，比赛就已经尘埃落定了——想要赢球需要奇迹，而这个系列赛中的奇迹都站在了对手那一边。
但文班亚马依然没有停下来与任何尼克斯球员握手，就像勒布朗·詹姆斯 (LeBron James) 在2015年总决赛结束时与斯蒂芬·库里 (Stephen Curry) 握手那样，或者像大多数球员在系列赛落败时的做法一样。当然，前提是赢家没有忙着互相庆祝。
事实上，布伦森 (Brunson) 在开始与队友庆祝之前，先与马刺队主教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 握了手，但目前尚不清楚文班亚马是否在人群散去后向任何尼克斯球员表示了祝贺。赛后没有记者直接问他为什么没有立即与尼克斯球员握手。
话又说回来，纽约对文班亚马并不友好。在麦迪逊广场花园，球迷们用侮辱性的言语嘲讽他，而且在第四场比赛结束后，还有人在球队下榻的酒店向他扔了鸡蛋。
他与尼克斯队之间也摩擦不断。在第三场比赛中，他从背后将布伦森摔倒，并掐住了布伦森的脖子，从而逃过了一次恶意犯规。在第五场比赛中，布伦森投失一记三分球时，他似乎也侵犯了布伦森的落地空间。布伦森踩在文班亚马的脚踝上摔倒，文班也可能因为这一动作被判恶意犯规。
如果文班亚马被判恶意犯规，且马刺队赢下了第五场比赛，他将面临在第六场比赛中被禁赛的可能。
所以，是的，文班亚马的第一次总决赛经历艰难且充满情绪。结局并不圆满。
“让我感到恼火的是，在我们重返总决赛之前，可能还要打上一百场比赛，”文班亚马说道。“我不知道用英语该怎么表达，但我必须把这种情绪深藏在心底，沉下心来去等待，并在这一百场比赛中做好执行。”
文班亚马在常规赛MVP投票中位列第二，并荣膺西部决赛MVP，在西部决赛中，马刺队从2025年冠军俄克拉荷马城队手中赢下了第六场和第七场比赛。虽然马刺队在总决赛中仅赢下了一场比赛，但他们在整个系列赛中总共只净输了12分。
在最后两场比赛中，文班亚马显得有些疲惫。在第四场和第五场比赛的第四节中，他合计14投仅3中，而马刺队在这些第四节中累计葬送了25分的领先优势。
“容错空间非常小，”文班亚马说道。“我们占据统治地位的阶段是绝对的。在系列赛的大部分时间里，我们都占据着绝对统治地位。但我们的失误和犯错受到的惩罚太严重了，我们不能出现这样起伏不定的情况。起伏太大了，你知道的。
“状态好时没问题，但那些低谷期正是我们输球的原因。”

Victor Wembanyama leaves court without shaking Knicks’ hands after ‘painful’ NBA Finals loss
SAN ANTONIO — Victor Wembanyama missed the final shot of the 2026 NBA Finals, untucked his jersey, and marched his thin, 7-foot-4 frame straight toward the San Antonio Spurs’ locker room in defeat.
No congratulatory handshakes for the New York Knicks, who took Game 5, 94-90, and the finals, 4-1. No soaking in the scene, remembering the hurt as the Knicks celebrated. Just off toward the tunnel, to his locker, to the podium, and then to the offseason.
“It’s painful. But I’m not running away from that,” said Wembanyama, who scored 19 points with 14 rebounds while shooting 7 of 19 from the field. “I’m using it to fuel me.”
Wembanyama, 22, is a French superstar and NBA Defensive Player of the Year in just his third season. He averaged 26 points, 11.2 rebounds and 3.6 blocks in the finals. The Spurs led by double digits in every game of this series, but blew those leads in four of them, and Wembanyama made some critical mistakes in three of the losses.
In Game 5, Wembanyama shot just 1 of 5 in the fourth quarter. The game was, for all intents and purposes, over when he missed that final 3-pointer — it would’ve taken a miracle to win, and the miracles in this series were on the other side.
But Wembanyama still didn’t stop to shake hands with any Knicks players, the way LeBron James shook Stephen Curry’s hand at the end of the 2015 finals, or the way most players do when they are on the losing end of any series. If the victors aren’t busy congratulating each other, of course.
Brunson actually shook Spurs coach Mitch Johnson’s hand before he started celebrating with teammates, but it was not immediately clear if Wembanyama congratulated any Knicks players after the court had cleared. No reporters asked him directly why he didn’t shake any of the Knicks’ hands immediately after the game.
Then again, New York wasn’t kind to Wembanyama. Fans jeered him with derogatory taunts at Madison Square Garden, and someone threw an egg at him at the team hotel after Game 4.
He also was chippy with the Knicks. In Game 3, he escaped a flagrant foul when he threw Brunson down from behind and grabbed Brunson’s neck to do it. He also appeared to be in Brunson’s landing zone on a missed 3 in Game 5. Brunson landed on Wembanyama’s ankle and went down, and Wemby could’ve been called for a Flagrant for that, too.
Had Wembanyama been assessed a flagrant and the Spurs won Game 5, he would have faced the possibility of a suspension for Game 6.
So, yes, Wembanyama’s first finals experience was tough and emotional. The ending was not a happy one.
“What I’m pissed about is that there’s probably a hundred games before we can be back in finals,” Wembanyama said. “I don’t know how to say it in English, but I’m going to have to hold that inside of me and slow down and wait and execute for a hundred games.”
Wembanyama finished second in MVP voting and was named MVP of the Western Conference finals in which the Spurs took Games 6 and 7 from 2025 champion Oklahoma City. The Spurs only won one finals game, but were outscored by just 12 points across the series.
Wembanyama appeared fatigued over the final two games. He was 3 of 14 in the fourth quarters of Games 4 and 5, and the Spurs blew combined leads of 25 points in those quarters.
“The margin of error is very thin,” Wembanyama said. “Our domination stints are absolute. We absolutely dominated for most of the series. But our errors, our mistakes, are punished so hard that we can’t have ups and downs like this. So much, you know.
“The ups are okay. The downs is the reason we lost.”
