圣安东尼奥讯——马刺主帅米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 周五提前终结了新赛季的所有悬念，他宣布球队将在周二对阵俄克拉荷马城雷霆的揭幕战中排出三后卫首发阵容。
“我们打算在揭幕战中沿用这套班底，”约翰逊说道。
在周三季前赛击败菲尼克斯太阳的比赛中，圣安东尼奥首次试验了由达龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox)、斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 和迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 组成的三后卫，搭档德文·瓦塞尔 (Devin Vassell) 与维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 的首发阵容。在这三人共同在场的11分钟里，马刺净胜对手10分。那场比赛太阳轮休了绝大部分主力轮换，而马刺开场阶段的投篮表现也仅有10投1中。
当福克斯、卡斯尔和哈珀对阵太阳同台登场时，圣安东尼奥的三分球9投2中，瓦塞尔和文班亚马合计6次三分出手无一命中。尽管在体型上面临劣势，但这三人同时在场期间，马刺以13-11在篮板球争夺上占据了上风。
“一旦找到默契，一切就水到渠成了，”文班亚马说，“最关键的是我身边环绕着多名持球手，都是我们放心把球交给他们并围绕我打挡拆的家伙。”
与三后卫同场期间，文班亚马的总触球次数（24次）高居全队第一。文班亚马还自己运球推进了5个回合，在与这三位后卫同场的阶段排名第二。
福克斯、卡斯尔和哈珀上赛季一共只搭档了69分钟（包括NBA总决赛中的25分钟），在此期间马刺净负对手多达47分。但在常规赛中，当仅有福克斯与卡斯尔同时在场时，马刺的净效率值为+9.4；福克斯与哈珀搭档时为+6.2；哈珀与卡斯尔搭档时则高达+11.0。
尽管三后卫同场的样本量在去年非常有限，但约翰逊表示，他本赛季倾向于让全队最出色的五名球员首发登场，而不是让其中一人去替补席待命。
“我们拥有一个天赋异禀的团队，尤其是后场，”福克斯说，“只要我们能把球投进，其他球员就能顺势杀向篮下。我们可以拉开防守空间，各支球队都知道我们想做什么，这不是什么秘密。因此，我们这个赛季的表现，以及这套首发阵容到底能有多特别，在很大程度上取决于我们的投射水准。”
在周三击败太阳的比赛中，福克斯、卡斯尔和哈珀合计21投9中，其中三分球6投3中。
周五对阵萨克拉门托国王的首节比赛中，这三人合砍19分，帮助马刺打出气势，以42-18遥遥领先。
“我们队里有既能自主进攻，又能为他人创造机会的球员，”福克斯说，“所以，我们一直在努力创造出最轻松的投篮机会。”

Spurs to start 3-guard lineup in season opener vs. Thunder
SAN ANTONIO – Spurs coach Mitch Johnson on Friday squashed any suspense going into the season by announcing his three-guard lineup will start in Tuesday’s opener against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
“We’re planning on starting that same crew [in the opener],” Johnson said.
San Antonio first deployed its three-guard starting lineup of De’Aaron Fox, Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper, alongside Devin Vassell and Victor Wembanyama, in a preseason win over the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday, when the Spurs finished at plus-10 in the trio’s 11 minutes together on the floor. The Suns rested most of their rotation players in that outing, which started with the Spurs shooting 1 of 10 from the floor.
San Antonio shot 2 of 9 on 3-pointers when Fox, Castle and Harper shared the floor against the Suns, with Vassell and Wembanyama combining to miss all six of their 3-point attempts. Despite a size disadvantage, the Spurs won the rebounding battle 13-11 when the trio played.
“When it clicked, it clicked,” Wembanyama said. “The biggest thing is I’ve got handlers all around me, guys we want to put the ball in their hands and pick and roll around me.”
Wembanyama finished with the most total touches (24) while playing with the three guards. Wembanyama brought the ball up the floor for five possessions, second most when sharing the court with the trio.
Fox, Castle, and Harper played just 69 minutes together last season, including 25 in the NBA Finals, with Spurs opponents outscoring them by 47 points in those minutes. The Spurs finished with a plus-9.4 net rating when just Fox and Castle shared the floor in the regular season, plus-6.2 with Fox and Harper and plus-11.0 with Harper and Castle.
Despite last year’s small sample size with the three guards on the floor, Johnson said he wanted to lean into the idea this season of starting games with the club’s five best players instead of having one come off the bench.
“We have a talented group, especially in the backcourt,” Fox said. “When we’re making shots, it allows other guys to be able to get downhill. We can spread the defense out, and teams know what we want to do. There’s no secret about it. So, a lot of our season, a lot of how special that first group can be, it’s going to be predicated on how we shoot the ball.”
Fox, Castle and Harper shot a combined 9 of 21 from the field in Wednesday’s win over the Suns and 3 of 6 from 3-point range.
The trio contributed 19 points Friday in the first quarter against the Sacramento Kings as the Spurs stormed to a 42-18 lead.
“We have guys that can create for themselves and create for others,” Fox said. “So, we try to generate the easiest shot possible.”
