在经历过最“残暴”的休赛期一年后，维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 再次召集了队友们。在圣安东尼奥马刺队于NBA总决赛折戟不到两个月后，本周，球队的大部分成员前往巴黎，与这位大个子一同参加盛夏迷你训练营。
马刺队在社交媒体上发布了一张文班亚马与七位队友在法国巴黎近郊楠泰尔（Nanterre）训练馆的合影，这七位队友分别是：卡特·布莱恩特 (Carter Bryant)、达龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox)、迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper)、斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle)、哈里森·巴恩斯 (Harrison Barnes)、乔丹·麦克劳克林 (Jordan McLaughlin) 以及新签约的自由球员托拜厄斯·哈里斯 (Tobias Harris)。这支庞大的队伍构成了马刺队新赛季预测轮换阵容的大部分成员，他们预计将在文班亚马的前东家——楠泰尔92俱乐部（Nanterre 92，文班亚马现持有该俱乐部股份）的主场共同训练一周左右。上赛季效力于马刺、目前身为自由球员的中锋凯利·奥利尼克 (Kelly Olynyk) 也参加了此次训练。
在休赛期过半、远早于大多数球队通常在9月中旬进行的季前训练营合练之前，这是一个让全队步调保持一致的绝佳机会。
“他在做事方式、保养身体、以及与家人和队友建立联系方面都树立了极好的榜样，”马刺队CEO R.C.·布福德 (R.C. Buford) 在接受法国媒体 TrashTalk 采访时谈到文班亚马时说道，“一支球队里有10名球员飞越半个地球聚在一起训练，这种情况并不多见。而这之所以能成行，是因为大家对维克托的尊重、钦佩以及他所带来的凝聚力。”

值得注意的是，在总决赛期间受到脚踝伤势困扰的福克斯也参与了进来。去年休赛期，他在3月份接受手腕手术后缺席了一段时间，随后在训练营前夕又遭遇了腿筋拉伤。与此同时，文班亚马在接受了清除肩膀血栓的手术治疗后，也一直在加强体能训练，该伤病曾导致他在2月份便提前结束了2024-25赛季。对于马刺队的先发球员来说，一个健康的休赛期对于在10月份强势开局至关重要。
文班亚马去年夏天的训练计划旨在将自己提升到新的高度，而不仅仅是恢复到血栓发生前的状态。众所周知，他曾前往中国与少林武僧一同训练，随后返回美国，接受了极其严苛的体能训练。
“我选择了一种更为‘残暴’的方式，”文班亚马在上赛季开始前说道，“这也许会占用我练习投篮的时间，但这没关系。我想找回我的身体状态。”
这些努力收到了回报，他证明了自己的身体能够承受争冠之路的严苛考验。尽管他有时在关键时刻显得有些后劲不足，也没能带领圣安东尼奥夺得总决赛冠军，但这与一年前相比已经是一个巨大的飞跃。这证明了他拥有全能的武器库，只是需要更多的磨砺。
这也为他彻底告别过去的健康隐忧画上了句号。但正如前NBA全明星克里斯·波什 (Chris Bosh) 本周所强调的那样，文班亚马必须时刻警惕过去的血栓隐患。
“按时服药，”波什在接受 HoopsHype 采访时说道。波什的职业生涯因多次血栓发作而被迫缩短，且最近还患上了肺栓塞。“确保他严格执行自己的健康管理方案，以防再次发生，因为只要再发生一次就无法挽回了。我就是又发生了一次，一共发生了两次，我就再也无法上场打球了。所以对于他来说，就是要确保做好一切必要的工作，尽可能保持血液稀释，并在场下保养好身体。”
种种迹象表明，文班亚马已经竭尽所能为自己的长期成功奠定基础。既然他的身体已经达到了理想状态，那么无论他身处世界何地，都有了更多练习投篮的空间。而到目前为止，他正在着重练习球场上的一个特定区域。
在马刺队发布的一段视频中，文班亚马展示了“金鸡独立”（Dirk Fade），这是由独行侠队名人堂成员德克·诺维茨基 (Dirk Nowitzki) 首创的招牌低位单脚后仰投篮。这是他休赛期主要训练重点之一——开发更强大的低位进攻技巧——迈出的重要一步。

马刺：回到实验室
在NBA总决赛结束后，文班亚马前往法国，并在那里签署了他的续约合同，同时开启了他的休赛期训练。随后他返回德克萨斯州，在福克斯的私人训练馆参加了训练，哈里斯和巴恩斯也参与其中。文班亚马还花时间与哈基姆·奥拉朱旺 (Hakeem Olajuwon) 进行了更多合作，后者在去年夏天曾帮助他构建了低位进攻体系。
在季后赛后期，文班亚马的主要软肋之一是缺乏持续自主创造投篮机会的能力。在整个常规赛期间，他大部分时间都能与队友打出配合，作为掩护者或在篮下伺机而动，扮演着进攻枢纽的角色。
但在季后赛中，当对手的高级防守策略打乱了马刺队的战术体系时（大多数球队通常都会遇到这种情况），他很难找到自己的得分节奏。在季后赛的最后八场比赛中，文班亚马仅有两次投篮命中率达到五成。对于一名明星球员来说，这并非完全罕见，杰伦·布伦森 (Jalen Brunson) 也有过类似的经历。然而，布伦森大部分时间都掌控着球权，而文班亚马通常更多地扮演终结者的角色。相比于矮个子挡拆发起者，他理应创造出更高效的投篮机会。马刺队需要他的数据体现出这一点，才能释放出球队的全部潜力。
季后赛最后两轮的一个核心主题，是文班亚马与以赛亚·哈尔滕施泰因 (Isaiah Hartenstein)、杰林·威廉姆斯 (Jaylin Williams)、卡尔-安东尼·唐斯 (Karl-Anthony Towns) 以及米切尔·罗宾逊 (Mitchell Robinson) 等大个子的卡位博弈。在对阵俄克拉荷马城雷霆队和纽约尼克斯队时，他接球时常常身体失衡，导致他无法获得所需的对抗优势来寻找最佳的攻筐角度。当冲击篮筐变得过于困难时，他缺乏稳定的中距离跳投或行进间勾手作为常规武器。
今年夏天，文班亚马继续向那些曾经在这些区域称霸的传奇球员请教，学习他们的技巧，以追求随着时间推移而建立的稳定性。
“所有的脚步动作，那些看起来简单但实际上很难的技巧，他却能让它们变得更容易，”文班亚马在上赛季接受ESPN采访谈到与奥拉朱旺的合作时说道，“但更重要的是那些来自经验的建议。没有什么能替代经验。”
文班亚马和马刺队在刚刚过去的赛季中积累了尽可能多的经验，看清了自己的局限性，并为实现终极目标绘制了蓝图。文班亚马展现出了统治力，但也表明他还有极大的成长空间。
如果说去年夏天是为了站稳脚跟并变得比以往任何时候都更强壮，那么今年夏天则给了他一个机会，去明确自己究竟想用这双脚走出怎样的路。

Victor Wembanyama brings key Spurs teammates to Paris while ramping up offseason training
A year removed from a most “violent” offseason, Victor Wembanyama is bringing the gang back together. Less than two months after the San Antonio Spurs fell in the NBA Finals, a large portion of the team joined the big man in Paris this week for a mid-summer mini-camp.
The team posted a photo to social media of Wembanyama with seven of his teammates from his gym in nearby suburb Nanterre, France: Carter Bryant, De’Aaron Fox, Dylan Harper, Stephon Castle, Harrison Barnes, Jordan McLaughlin and free-agent signing Tobias Harris. The significant contingent, which comprises the majority of the Spurs’ projected playing rotation, is expected to spend around a week working out together at the home of Wembanyama’s former club Nanterre 92, of which he now owns a piece. Center Kelly Olynyk, who was with the Spurs last season but is currently a free agent, is also attending the workout.
It’s a unique opportunity to get the entire team aligned at the halfway point of the offseason, well before the usual pre-training camp runs most teams do in mid-September.
“He sets a great example in his approach, in the way he takes care of his body, in the way he connects with his family and with his teammates,” Spurs CEO R.C. Buford said of Wembanyama in an interview with French media outlet TrashTalk. “There are not many times where 10 guys from a team are flying halfway around the world to go work out together. And that’s done because of the respect and admiration and joy that Victor brings.”

It’s notable that Fox, who was hampered by an ankle injury during the finals run, is participating. He missed time last offseason after coming off wrist surgery in March, then suffered a hamstring strain in the lead-up to training camp. At the same time, Wembanyama was ramping up his conditioning after undergoing treatment to remove a blood clot from his shoulder, which shut his 2024-25 season down in February. A healthy offseason for the Spurs’ starters will be vital to starting strong come October.
Wembanyama’s training program last summer was rooted in a mission to push himself to the next level, and not just get back to where he was before the blood clot. He famously trained with Shaolin monks in China, then returned to the U.S. and put himself through a punishing conditioning program.
“I chose to do something much more violent,” Wembanyama said before last season. “Maybe that takes away from some time I can spend on shooting the basketball, but it doesn’t matter. I wanted to get my body back.”
That work paid off, as he showed his body could stand up to the demands of a championship run. Though he faded down the stretch at times and did not lead San Antonio to a finals victory, it was a drastic step forward from where he was a year earlier. It was proof that he has the tools to do it all, but just requires more development.
It also provided a sense of closure to move on from the health concerns of the past. But Wembanyama must always be mindful of his past blood clot scare, as former NBA All-Star Chris Bosh emphasized this week.
“Take your medicine,” Bosh, whose career was cut short by multiple blood clot episodes and who recently had a pulmonary embolism, told HoopsHype. “Make sure that he’s staying on top of his regimen to make sure that doesn’t happen again because it only takes one more time. It happened one more time for me, it happened twice, and I couldn’t play anymore. So I guess with him, just making sure he does everything necessary to keep that blood as thin as possible and take care of that body off the court.”
All indications are that Wembanyama has done everything possible to position himself for long-term success. Now that his body is where it needs to be, that leaves room to get more shots up, no matter where he is in the world. And so far, there’s a specific zone of the floor that he is emphasizing.
In a video posted by the Spurs, Wembanyama is shown hitting a “Dirk Fade,” the signature one-footed fadeaway shot from the post that was pioneered by Mavericks Hall of Famer Dirk Nowitzki. It’s an important step in one of his main offseason training priorities: developing a more robust post game.

spurs: back in the lab
Wembanyama went off to France after the NBA Finals, signing his contract extension there as he began his offseason training. He then returned to Texas and participated in workouts at Fox’s home gym, with Harris and Barnes included. Wembanyama also spent more time working with Hakeem Olajuwon, who helped him build out his post game last summer.
One of Wembanyama’s key vulnerabilities in the later stages of the postseason was his ability to create his own shot consistently. Throughout the season, he was able to play through his teammates for the most part, serving as a fulcrum for the offense as a screener or lurking near the hoop.
But when advanced defenses threw a wrench in the Spurs’ system in the playoffs — which is how it usually goes for most teams — he struggled to find his rhythm as a scorer. In the last eight games of the postseason, Wembanyama only hit half of his shots twice. That isn’t completely out of the ordinary for a star player, as Jalen Brunson did the same. However, Brunson has the ball in his hands most of the time, while Wembanyama generally functions as more of an endpoint. He is supposed to be creating more efficient looks than a small pick-and-roll creator. The Spurs will need his numbers to reflect that to reach their potential.
A core theme of the last two rounds was Wembanyama’s battle for positioning against big men such as Isaiah Hartenstein, Jaylin Williams, Karl-Anthony Towns and Mitchell Robinson. His catches against the Oklahoma City Thunder and New York Knicks were often off-balance, preventing him from getting the type of leverage he needed to get the best angle to the rim. He didn’t have a consistent midrange jumper or running hook to fall back on when getting to the rim proved too challenging.
This summer, Wembanyama is continuing to seek out the players who dominated those spaces in the past, learning their ways as he chases the consistency that comes with time.
“All the footwork stuff, things that look easy but aren’t, but he makes them easier,” Wembanyama said of working with Olajuwon in an interview with ESPN last season. “But more than that, it was the advice that comes with experience. Nothing can replace experience.”
Wembanyama and the Spurs got as much experience as they could this past season, learning their limitations and providing a map to reach their ultimate goal. Wembanyama was dominant, yet showed he has so much room to grow.
But if last summer was about getting his feet under him and getting stronger than ever, this summer gives him the chance to figure out exactly what he wants to do with those feet.
