圣安东尼奥马刺仍有需要吸取的教训。
上赛季，马刺凭借天赋走得很远。他们会犯下一个又一个低级错误，却依然能凭借NBA中最具天赋的年轻阵容之一扭转局面。在总决赛惨痛失利之后，许多球迷期待这支球队能有所成长，从这样的失败中汲取教训。然而，2026-27赛季NBA开赛六场之后，情况似乎并非如此。
在万圣节之夜以121-111战胜明尼苏达森林狼的比赛中，马刺的表现与上赛季几乎如出一辙。球队有时打出精彩的表现——防守拼尽全力，传球行云流水，轻松杀入篮下得分；但也有一些时段进攻完全哑火，陷入单打独斗，防守端则让对手轻松拿下二次进攻得分和转换机会。不过最终，马刺还是凭借足够的天赋击败了缺少安东尼·爱德华兹和鲁迪·戈贝尔两名主力的森林狼。
这场胜利需要一场MVP级别的表现来达成。维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 统治了比赛，砍下43分和6次盖帽，碾压了他的同胞琼·贝兰热。当马刺陷入苦战时，文班亚马总能用一记恰到好处的扣篮或一次转化为快攻的盖帽将球队拉出泥潭。这正是你希望从球队门面、甚至可能是联盟最佳球员身上看到的比赛。
常言道，赢球就是赢球。但米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 和马刺教练组很可能还是会像上赛季一样，找出许多球队需要改进的地方。
要点总结：
- 周六的篮球上是不是沾了什么万圣节黏液，或者也许是拉梅洛·鲍尔的口水？两队合计出现了29次失误，球在场上到处乱弹。两队在转换进攻和阵地进攻中都试图打出极快的混乱节奏，导致大量失误，球不断从球员的手上和身上滑脱。
- 我们Pounding the Rock编辑部正式开始受理致达龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox) 的道歉信，并将在方便时转交给福克斯先生。这位老将控卫赛季开局以来的表现堪称马刺队内第二好的球员。他在本场胜利中贡献22分、8个篮板和7次助攻，并以+23的正负值领跑全队。他在休赛期的努力显然奏效了，因为他看起来焕然一新。他的跳投频频命中，尤其是中距离，为马刺的进攻打开了很大空间。
- 马刺已经找到了持续给文班亚马送空接传球的方法。那些靠近边线的短挡拆让对手的大个子难以收缩护框，因为这为马刺的后卫创造了良好的攻框角度。这迫使贝兰热在周六晚上频繁换防，让文班亚马可以轻松在小个子防守者头上完成空接。这是马刺战术手册中最出色的新变化之一，而他们在这场对阵森林狼的比赛中反复使用。
- 卢克·科内特 (Luke Kornet) 本赛季的表现饱受批评，其中大部分也是应得的。但当他打出一场扎实的比赛时，也应该得到一些赞扬。科内特抢下8个篮板，其中4个是前场篮板，包括上半场一记关键的补扣。他的防守站位总体不错，在场上时也没有拖累马刺。对于这个联盟的一名替补中锋来说，这已经是你所能要求的全部了。
- 朱利安·尚帕尼 (Julian Champagnie) 赛季开局阶段的三分球依然火热。他在对阵森林狼的比赛中三分7投3中，得到12分，目前赛季三分命中率高达47.6%。尚帕尼是时候得到他应有的认可了：他是NBA最出色的射手之一。

What we learned from the Spurs’ win over the Timberwolves
The San Antonio Spurs still have lessons to be learned.
Last season, the Spurs made it pretty far on talent. They would make silly mistakes after silly mistakes and still recover thanks to one of the most talented young rosters in the NBA. After a crushing NBA Finals loss, a lot of fans expected the team to grow up a bit. To learn the lessons that come with such a defeat. Six games into the 2026-27 NBA season, that doesn’t appear to be the case.
The Spurs looked almost identical to last year’s team in a 121-111 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Halloween night. There were stretches of brilliance when the team guarded like their lives depended on it, moved the ball on a string, and got to the cup with ease. Then there were times when the offense went completely cold, reliant on isolation ball, and the defense allowed second-chance points and easy transition looks. But ultimately, the Spurs had enough talent to take down a Minnesota team that was missing two key players in Anthony Edwards and Rudy Gobert.
It took an MVP performance to get the win. Victor Wembanyama took over the game, crushing his fellow countryman, Joan Beringer, with 43 points and 6 blocks. When San Antonio was in a slog, Wembanyama would pull them out with a well-timed dunk or a block that led to a transition runout. Those are the types of games you’re looking for from the face of the franchise and potentially the best player in the league.
As they say, a win is a win. But likely, Mitch Johnson and the rest of the Spurs’ coaching staff will identify plenty of areas where the team can clean up their game, just as they could last season.
Takeaways:
- Was there some sort of Halloween slime, or perhaps LaMelo Ball’s spit, on the basketball on Saturday? Both teams combined for 29 turnovers, with the ball generally bouncing all over the place. Both teams were trying to play with such a chaotic pace in both transition and half-court offense that it led to a lot of mistakes, or the ball slipping off players’ hands and bodies.
- We at Pounding the Rock are formally accepting De’Aaron Fox apology slips. We will forward them to Mr. Fox at our earliest convenience. The veteran point guard has been nothing short of the Spurs’ second-best player to begin the season. He had 22 points, 8 rebounds, and 7 assists in the win, and was a team-high +23. Whatever he did in the offseason worked, because he looks completely rejuvenated. His jump shot is falling, particularly in the mid-range, which is opening up a lot of offense for the Spurs.
- San Antonio has figured out how to constantly get the ball to Wembanyama on lobs. Those short pick-and-rolls near the sideline make it hard for opposing bigs to drop back and protect the rim, as it gives the Spurs’ guards good angles at the rim. That forced Beringer to switch often on Saturday night, making it easy for Wembanyama to finish lobs over smaller defenders. It’s one of the best new wrinkles to San Antonio’s playbook, and they spammed it often against Minnesota.
- Luke Kornet has gotten a lot of grief for his play this season, and a lot of it has been deserved. He should get some praise when he has a solid game, too. Kornet grabbed 8 rebounds, 4 of them offensive, including a big put-back slam in the first half. His defensive positioning was largely good, and he didn’t kill San Antonio when he was in the game. That is about all you can ask from a backup center in this league.
- Julian Champagnie remains red hot from three-point range to start the season. He shot 3-of-7 from deep on his way to 12 points against the Wolves and is now shooting 47.6% from three to start the season. It’s about time that Champagnie gets the recognition for what he is: one of the best shooters in the NBA.
