第五战
马刺一路领先……直到优势尽失。
听起来是不是很熟悉？
周六晚上，这支球队对NBA总冠军的无畏追求宣告破灭，纽约尼克斯队在比赛末段的沉着与坚韧无情地扼杀了他们的希望。马刺在第五战中曾一度领先两位数，但随后在关键时刻崩盘，就像他们在这轮七局四胜制系列赛前三场失利中的遭遇一模一样。
这是圣安东尼奥自2014年以来首次重返NBA总决赛，而推动他们走到这一步的，是一群才刚刚起步的年轻新星。维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 只有22岁，斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 21岁，而可能比他们两人还要优秀的迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 只有20岁。
“这是我人生中最大的一课，”文班亚马在比赛结束后说道，“作为一个团队，没有比我们刚刚经历的一切更好的体验了。”
来看看漫画家卢克·麦加里 (Luke McGarry) 对这场让夺冠梦想破灭——但只是暂时破灭——的比赛的独特解读。
《圣安东尼奥快报》特邀麦加里为马刺与尼克斯的系列赛创作每场比赛的插画，专供我们的读者欣赏。这位现居洛杉矶的漫画家曾为洛杉矶的音乐场馆、科切拉音乐节（Coachella）、唱片制作人捷德（Zedd）以及喜剧摇滚乐队顽强的D（Tenacious D）等客户创作海报艺术。他的作品曾发表在《纽约客》、《花花公子》、《疯狂》杂志（MAD magazine）、《洛杉矶时报》和《好莱坞报道》上。

Comic artist captures hope, heartbreak of Spurs’ Game 5 loss
Game 5
The Spurs led most of the way … until they didn’t.
Sound familiar?
The team’s audacious quest for an NBA title fell short Saturday night, smothered by the late-game poise and relentlessness of the New York Knicks. The Spurs were ahead by double digits in Game 5 before folding down the stretch, as they had in all three of their previous losses in the best-of-seven championship series.
It was San Antonio’s first visit to the NBA Finals since 2014, and it was powered by a group of young stars who are just getting started. Victor Wembanyama is 22, Stephon Castle is 21 and Dylan Harper, who might be even better than either of them, is 20.
“This is the biggest lesson of my life,” Wembanyama said after it was over. “As a team, there’s no better experience than what we just lived.”
