對抗雷霆的兩週終於結束，很高興迎來好的收穫老實說，今年的馬刺已經超乎我的高標預期（能過二輪就已經是我的高標了 XD）我開始有種「或許是今年」的感覺 Go SPURS Go https://www.expressnews.com/sports/spurs/article/spurs-victor-wembanyama-lived-up-to-hype-dreams-22284617.php How Victor Wembanyama lived up to the hype, and to an impossible dream 夢想成真：Victor Wembanyama 如何不負眾望，實現那看似不可能的夢 Victor Wembanyama on the 111-103 Game 7 victory over the Thunder that sent the Spurs to the NBA Finals: 'It’s almost like the meaning of my life.' Wembanyama 談到這場以 111 比 103 擊敗雷霆隊並將馬刺隊送進 NBA 總決賽的第七戰勝利：『這簡直就像是我生命的意義。』 By Mike Finger,Sports ColumnistMay 31, 2026 OKLAHOMA CITY — Like a child. Doubled over with tears in his eyes, searching for somebody to hug, that’s how Victor Wembanyama looked amid the on-court hysteria at Paycom Center. 就像個孩子一樣。雙腳彎曲、眼中泛著淚水，在人群中搜尋著可以擁抱的對象——這正是 Victor Wembanyama 在 Paycom Center 球場上那片狂喜與混亂中所展現的模樣。 It’s also how he looked from the stands of another arena seven years earlier. 這同時也是七年前，他從另一座球館的觀眾席上望向球場時的模樣。 That was when the Spurs first saw their future. Even if it was impossible to imagine it would arrive this fast. 那是馬刺隊第一次看見他們的未來。即便在當時，根本不可能想像到這個未來會來得如此迅速。 Halfway up the lower bowl Saturday night, there were men who still remembered that initial glimpse of the skinny miracle who would change their franchise, their city, their league. They would love to be able to claim that, way back then, they saw all of this coming. 週六晚間，在球場下層看台的中央，坐著幾位依然清晰記得那初次驚鴻一瞥的人。當時那個骨瘦如柴的奇蹟，如今改變了他們的球隊、他們的城市、乃至於他們的聯盟。他們當然很樂意聲稱，自己在很久以前就預見了這一切的到來。 But really, now. Who could have expected this? 但說真的，事到如今，誰能料想到這點？ Who even could have dreamed it? 甚至，誰敢做這樣的夢？ Only a child could. 只有孩子才敢。 “It’s hard to put into words,” Wembanyama said, still choked up by the realization that a 111-103 Game 7 victory over the Thunder had sent the Spurs to the NBA Finals. “It’s almost like the meaning of my life.” 「這很難用言語來形容，」Wembanyama 說道，當意識到這場以 111 比 103 擊敗雷霆隊的第七戰勝利已將馬刺隊送進 NBA 總決賽時，他依然語帶哽咽。「這簡直就像是我生命的意義。」 The men who followed him to a place called Bourg-en-Bresse, France, in the spring of 2019 had no clue about anything so grand as his destiny. All they knew was that a Spurs international scout who’d been looking at another prospect mentioned something about a prodigious 15-year-old, and that it supposedly would be worth the team’s while to send a contingent to the French U18 Final Four. 在 2019 年春天跟隨他前往法國一個名叫布雷斯地區布爾格（Bourg-en-Bresse）小鎮的人們，當時對他背負的宏大命運一無所知。他們當時唯一知道的，是馬刺隊的一位國際球探在考察另一位潛力新秀時，順口提到了一個天賦異稟的 15 歲少年，並認為球隊非常值得派出一支代表團去觀看那場法國 U18 的四強賽。 There, in a mostly empty gym, playing alongside much older boys who had to crane their necks to look up at him, was the kid with the potential to turn an entire sport on its head. But the Spurs never were so crazy as to think he could live up to the hype that just was beginning to build. And they never were so crazy to think that even if he did, they’d be lucky enough to have him do it for them. 在那裡，在一間幾乎空無一人的體育館裡，與一群年齡比他大很多、必須伸長脖子才能仰望他的男孩們同場競技的，正是這個擁有將整項運動徹底顛覆的潛力的孩子。但馬刺隊當時絕沒有瘋狂到會認為他能自此不負那才剛開始建立的漫天誇讚；他們更沒有瘋狂到會去想，即便他真的做到了，自己竟然還能有幸成為讓他為聖安東尼奧成就這一切的球隊。 But across an ocean from where he started, there that kid was Saturday night, wearing the jersey of the storied franchise that hadn’t made a playoff run since he’d caught the team’s eye as a 15-year-old. There he was, putting the finishing touches on a series he dominated against the defending NBA champions, and the two-time league Most Valuable Player. 然而，週六晚間，在距離他起點隔著一座大洋的這裡，那個孩子就站在那裡，身上穿著這支富有傳奇色彩的球隊戰袍——這支自他 15 歲吸引球隊目光以來，就再也沒有在季後賽走得這麼遠的球隊。他就站在那裡，為這個由他親手統治的系列賽畫上完美句點，而他擊敗的對手，是聯盟的衛冕冠軍，以及兩屆常規賽最有價值球員（MVP）。 There Wembanyama was, blocking Shai Gilgeous-Alexander from behind to set the third-quarter tone. There he was, pouring in fundamental Tim Duncan bank shots and cold-blooded Manu Ginobili 3-pointers. There he was, screaming for Dylan Harper and Stephon Castle and Julian Champagnie, and all of the other teammates who kept following his lead. Wembanyama 就出現在那裡，從背後封阻了 Shai Gilgeous-Alexander 的投籃，為第三節奠定了防守基調；他就出現在那裡，投進了帶有 Tim Duncan 影子、教科書般的擦板投籃，以及如 Manu Ginobili 般冷酷無情的三分球；他就出現在那裡，對著 Dylan Harper、 Stephon Castle、Julian Champagnie 以及所有持續追隨他腳步的隊友們大聲咆哮激勵。 “We needed him to be demonstrative,” Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said. “We needed him to play with strength. We needed him to bring his will.” 「我們需要他站出來展現情緒，」馬刺隊總教練 Mitch Johnson 說道。「我們需要他打出強勢，我們需要他帶入自己的意志。」 The will always is the hardest part to be sure of. You could have looked at Wembanyama when he was 15, or 17, or 20, and known that he was capable of doing things on a basketball court that few humans ever had attempted, let alone pulled off. You could have watched him for a few minutes as a rookie and realized that he could block shots like Rudy Gobert, and attack the rim like Giannis Antetokounmpo, and shoot like Kevin Durant. 意志，往往是最難以打包票的部分。你可以在 Wembanyama 15 歲、17 歲或 20 歲的時候看著他，深知他有能力在籃球場上做出極少數人類曾嘗試過、更不用說成功辦到的動作。你可以在他新秀賽季看他打個幾分鐘，便意識到他能像 Rudy Gobert 那樣封阻投籃、能像 Giannis Antetokounmpo 那樣衝擊籃框、還能像 Kevin Durant 那樣精準投射。 But to do what Wembanyama did Saturday, a player needs more than talent. To disprove the ancient, previously irrefutable NBA law that says every superstar has to experience postseason failure before he can achieve postseason glory, a player has to show he has every clichéd part of the torso: 但要做到 Wembanyama 在週六所成就的事，一名球員需要的絕不僅僅是天賦。為了打破那條古老、且此前在 NBA 顛撲不破的定律——亦即每位超級巨星在獲得季後賽榮耀前，都必須先經歷季後賽挫折的陣痛——一名球員必須證明自己擁有那些老生常談的軀幹部位： Backbone. 骨氣 Guts. 膽識 Heart. 心臟 Two summers ago in Paris, Wembanyama provided glimpses of all of that during the Olympics. After he stared down LeBron James, Steph Curry and Durant, and nearly carried France to an upset of Team USA in the gold medal game, he stood in front of an Express-News columnist and made a prediction. 兩年前在巴黎的奧運會期間，Wembanyama 就曾讓人們窺見了這一切。在他正面迎戰 LeBron James、Steph Curry 和 Durant，並險些帶領法國隊在金牌戰中爆冷擊敗美國隊之後，他站在本報專欄作家面前，做出了一個預言。 “I’m learning” Wembanyama said. “And I’m worried for the opponents in a couple of years.” 「我正在學習，」Wembanyama 當時說道。「而我為幾年後的對手們感到擔憂。」 A couple of years later, that worry has proven to be prescient. His vanquished star-caliber opponents are piling up. A conference that included the likes of Gilgeous-Alexander, Anthony Edwards, Nikola Jokic and Luka Doncic couldn’t stop Wembanyama from winning the West before he’s ever lost a playoff series. 兩年後，那份擔憂已被證實具有驚人的預見性。那些被他擊敗的球星級對手正在不斷堆疊。在一個包含了 Gilgeous-Alexander、Anthony Edwards、Nikola Jokic 和 Luka Doncic 等豪強的西區聯盟中，沒有人能阻止 Wembanyama 在他生涯從未輸過任何一個季後賽系列賽的情況下，成功登頂西區。 It helps, of course, that he’s surrounded by near-perfect supporting cast, in a near-perfect system, employing a near-perfect plan. As much as was made about Oklahoma City’s overwhelming depth, one might argue that once Jalen Williams went down, four of the top five performers in the Western Conference Finals were Spurs. 當然，這在很大程度上也得益於他身邊圍繞著近乎完美的支援陣容、處於近乎完美的體系中，並執行著近乎完美的計畫。儘管外界此前對奧克拉荷馬城排山倒海的陣容深度大做文章，還是會有人們爭論是因為雷霆隊的Jalen Williams受傷缺賽，否則雷霆可以取得勝利。但在西區決賽中表現最好的前五名球員裡，有四位都隸屬於馬刺隊（除了SGA）。 One might argue that 39-year-old Mitch Johnson and his staff coached circles around the Thunder’s Mark Daigneault, a very bright man with an outstanding track record who was way too slow to pull the plug on lineup combinations that had no hope of working against the Spurs. 人們同樣可以辯稱，39 歲的 Mitch Johnson 及其教練團，在戰術調度上完勝了雷霆隊的 Mark Daigneault——後者是一位極具智慧且擁有輝煌履歷的教練，但在面對馬刺隊時，他對於撤換那些毫無勝算的陣容組合卻顯得過於遲鈍。 And one might argue that none of this would have happened if Wembanyama hadn’ t bought into general manager Brian Wright’s patient approach to roster building, or if he hadn’t endorsed Johnson’s vision for what a post-Gregg Popovich Spurs team would look like. 而且人們也可以辯稱，如果 Wembanyama 當初沒有全盤接受總管 Brian Wright 在建隊時所採取的耐心策略，或者如果他沒有全力支持 Johnson 對於後 Popovich 時代馬刺隊該呈現何種風貌的願景，這一切都不可能發生。 Last season, Wembanyama could have used his influence to push for a much bigger acquisition than De’Aaron Fox. Last summer, he could have steered the organization toward a much more established coaching hire than Johnson. 在上個賽季，Wembanyama 本可以利用他的巨星影響力，去推動比引進 De'Aaron Fox 更具轟動效應的超級交易；在去年夏天，他本可以引導管理層去聘請一位比 Johnson 名氣大得多的成名總教練。 Instead, he embraced everything about what the Spurs were trying to do, and now he and his franchise are positioned to make June basketball a fixture of the Frost Bank Center schedule for as long as the old tin barn remains open, and probably beyond. 然而，相反地，他擁抱了馬刺隊試圖去做的每一件事。而現在，他和他的球隊正處於極佳的位置——只要那座老舊的錫皮穀倉（指 Frost Bank Center 球館）依然開門營業，甚至在更遠的未來，六月的總決賽籃球都將成為這座球館行事曆上的固定常客。 “I want to do that 15, 20 more times,” Wembanyama said. “Let’s hope it doesn’t become an addiction. Maybe it is already.” 「我想把這件事再做個 15、20 次，」Wembanyama 說道。「但願這不會變成一種毒癮。不過，也許它現在已經是了。」 Down the hall, there were longtime members of the organization who were all too familiar with that inclination. Some of them were moving in and out of a raucous locker room and the coaches offices, where a plan was already being formulated for a tough Finals matchup against the New York Knicks. 在走廊的另一頭，球團中幾位資深的成員對於這種對於勝利的渴望再熟悉不過了。他們中的一些人正步履匆匆地進出那間喧鬧的休息室和教練辦公室，在那裡，針對即將與紐約尼克隊展開的艱難總決賽大戰，一項戰術計畫已經在緊鑼密鼓地制定中。 Nobody was taking anything for granted. But on this night, they could spend a moment or two smiling at the memory of that skinny 15-year-old bouncing around a gym in Bourg-en-Bresse, and they could appreciate everything it took to see him turn into the 22-year-old doubled over and sobbing in Oklahoma City. 沒有任何人認為這一切是理所當然。但在這個夜晚，他們可以花上一兩個時刻，對著記憶中那個在布雷斯地區布爾格的體育館裡活蹦亂跳、骨瘦如柴的 15 歲少年會心一笑；他們也可以由衷地感激，看著他蛻變成如今在奧克拉荷馬城彎著腰、抱頭痛哭的 22 歲巨人所付出的一切代價。 They could realize how crazy they were to dream a dream like that in the first place. And then they could decide to keep believing in it anyway. 他們會意識到，自己當初去追求這樣一個夢想是多麼的瘋狂。然後，他們會決定無論如何都要繼續堅信下去。 Almost like a child. 就像一個孩子一樣。 Mike Finger Sports Columnist -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 111.253.131.205 (臺灣) ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Spurs/M.1780264480.A.73D.html
