That includes the 6-foot-6 rookie. 由於 Wembanyama 不太可能在第三战前通过脑震荡协议，每个人都被要求承担更多责任， 这也包括那位身高 6 尺 6 寸的新秀。 By Mike Finger,Sports ColumnistApril 23, 2026 PORTLAND, Ore. — Carter Bryant extended his right arm, offering a helping hand. Victor Wembanyama, dazed on the floor, was not yet ready to accept it. Carter Bryant 伸出了右手，试图拉对方一把。而倒在地上仍有些晕眩的 Victor Wembanyama，当时还没准备好接受这份帮助。 The postseason is young, though. 不过，季後赛才刚开始。 The kid still has time to pick him up. 这个孩子还有时间把他的队友拉起来。 This wasn’t Plan A. If the Spurs had their druthers, a 20-year-old rookie who came off the bench during his one year in college would hold no sway over their first playoff series of the decade. 这原本并非计画 A。如果马刺队有得选，他们绝对不会希望一个在大学时期仅打了一年， 且大多担任替补的 20 岁新秀，来主宰他们近十年来的第一场季後赛。 But ready or not, Bryant holds sway now. And he’s learned something already about that responsibility. 但无论准备好与否，Bryant 现在掌握了影响力，而且他已经从这份责任中学到了一些事 情。 “If you go in there not ready to throw haymakers,” Bryant said, “you’re going to be in a lot of trouble.” 「如果你进场时没打算挥出重拳（throw haymakers），」Bryant 说，「你会有大麻烦。 」 So far in a first-round series tied 1-1 heading into Friday’s Game 3 against the Trail Blazers, the Spurs’ baby-faced forward has absorbed more haymakers than he’s landed. Bryant’s four minutes in the opener netted him three fouls, and his 12 minutes on Tuesday were more productive, but at a cost. 到目前为止，在双方战成 1 比 1 平手、准备迎接周五第三战的系列赛中，马刺这位长着 娃娃脸的前锋挨的重拳比他挥出的还要多。Bryant 在首战上场 4 分钟就领到了 3 次犯 规；周二的第二战他上场 12 分钟虽然较有产出，但却付出了代价。 While he was on the floor, often as the nominal big man in a small lineup, the Spurs were outscored by 13 points. 当他在场上时（通常是在小球阵容中担任名义上的中锋），马刺队输掉了 13 分。 In a game they lost by three. 而那一场比赛，马刺最後只输了 3 分。 The loss wasn’t Bryant’s fault, though. Starters De’Aaron Fox and Julian Champagnie posted similar plus-minus numbers, and the multiple offensive possessions that disintegrated down the stretch came while Bryant was watching from the sideline. 不过，输球并非 Bryant 一个人的错。先发球员 De’Aaron Fox 和 Julian Champagnie 也交出了类似的正负值，且比赛末段几次崩盘的进攻回合，Bryant 当时人其实是坐在板 凳上的。 But with Wembanyama unlikely to be cleared from concussion protocol before Game 3, more is going to be asked of everybody. That includes the 6-foot-6 neophyte who a mere four months ago was in danger of losing his hair to, well, rookie mistakes. 但随着 Wembanyama 几乎确定无法在第三战前通过脑震荡协议，每个人都被要求做得更多 。这包括了这位 6 尺 6 寸的新人，他在仅仅四个月前，还差点因为所谓的菜鸟错误而面 临掉发危机。 During a particularly perplexing December stretch, the high-flying Bryant misfired on so many dunk attempts that his teammates threatened to shave his head if he missed two more. He called that the good kind of peer pressure. 在去年十二月一段令人困惑的低潮期中，弹跳力惊人的 Bryant 搞砸了太多次扣篮，以至 於队友威胁他如果再投失两球就要剃光他的头。他称之为一种正向的同侪压力。 And now, as he looks for the biggest reason to believe he can handle a share of the burden Gregg Popovich used to be loath to assign to rookies? 现在，当他试图寻找理由，相信自己能扛起 Gregg Popovich 过去最不愿交给新秀的重任 时，凭藉的是什麽？ “My teammates are empowering,” Bryant said. 「我的队友赋予我力量，」Bryant 说。 It would be helpful, of course, if those teammates empowered themselves, too. 当然，如果他的队友们也能赋予自己力量，那会更有帮助。 If Wembanyama stays sidelined, the Spurs need Fox to be a lot better than he was in the fourth quarter on Tuesday. They need Stephon Castle to recalibrate his approach to some of the drives that drew fouls in the regular season but haven’t generated whistles in the playoffs. They could use one well-timed vintage playoff performance from former NBA champion Harrison Barnes. 如果 Wembanyama 持续缺阵，马刺需要 Fox 表现得比周二第四节好得多。他们需要 Stephon Castle 重新调整进攻策略，某些切入在例行赛能博得犯规，但在季後赛却得不 到裁判的哨音。他们也需要前冠军成员 Harrison Barnes 适时打出一场复古级的季後赛 表现。 But even if they get all of that, the Spurs also need their non-Luke Kornet minutes to not be a liability. Wembanyama’s backup acquitted himself nicely at both ends of the floor in Game 2, but with Kornet playing alongside the starters, it left a hole with the reserves. 但即使这些都达成了，马刺也需要确保当Luke Kornet不在场的时间不再是负资产。 Wembanyama 的替补Kornet在第二战攻守两端表现得相当出色，但当 Kornet 被拉去跟先 发搭配时，板凳席就留下了空洞。 In the second half Tuesday, Spurs coach Mitch Johnson chose to fill that hole with the small-ball lineup — featuring Bryant at center — that had been successful in occasional stretches during the regular season. 在周二下半场，马刺总教练 Mitch Johnson 选择用小球阵容填补空缺，由 Bryant 打中 锋，这套阵容在例行赛偶尔有不错的效果。 That will be an option Friday, too. 这在周五也会是选项之一。 “We'll have to kind of sit down as a staff and really think about the game holistically,” Johnson said. “Can we get through a game doing that, or do we need to play somebody else?” 「我们教练团必须坐下来，从全局思考这场比赛，」Johnson 说。「我们能靠这套阵容撑 完整场吗？还是我们需要派其他人上场？」 If there’s optimism about the small-ball approach working, it’s in part because of the franchise’s belief in Bryant. He works his tail off on defense. He won’t let himself get bullied by bigger players, like the Blazers ’ Donovan Clingan and Robert Williams. He doesn’t look intimidated by the moment. And when he gets going as a fast-break rim-runner or as a floor-spacing 3-point shooter, he creates all sorts of matchup problems for opponents. 对小球战术感到乐观的原因之一，是球团对 Bryant 的信任。他在防守端拼尽全力，不会 被拓荒者的 Donovan Clingan 或 Robert Williams 这些大个子欺负。他看起来并不畏惧 大场面。而当他在快攻中跑位或是作为空间型射手投进三分时，他能为对手制造各种对位 麻烦。 The other thing Bryant has going for him? He might be completely oblivious to the threat of failure. Bryant 拥有的另一个优势？他可能完全无视失败带来的威胁。 In December, after a game in which he inexplicably clanged two dunks off the back of the rim, he pulled the local columnist aside and swore he still had no doubt he would become “one of the best players in the world.” 去年十二月，在一场他莫名其妙连砸两个扣篮的比赛後，他私下告诉本地专栏作家，他依 然深信自己会成为世界上最好的球员之一。 Why was he sure he was making progress? Well, on those missed dunks, he was running the floor in the proper lanes. Whether or not he finished the easy part of the play, he knew where he was supposed to be. 为什麽他确定自己在进步？他说，虽然扣篮没进，但他跑位的路线是正确的。无论最後那 道简单的手续有没有完成，他知道自己该在哪。 “In my head, that’s growth,” Bryant said then. “It’s something you have to appreciate. It’s going to make it so much sweeter someday.” 「在我脑海里，那就是成长，」Bryant 当时说。「你必须学会欣赏这点。这会让未来的 成功变得更加甜美。」 There’s no guarantee “someday” will come this week. In the Spurs’ glory days, there was a reason Popovich was so reluctant to rely on playoff contributions from any newcomers. As much as he liked rookies from Tony Parker to George Hill to Kawhi Leonard, Popovich was quick to yank them the moment they showed they might not be ready. 「那一天」并不保证会在本周到来。在马刺的辉煌年代，Popovich 总是对让新人承担季 後赛责任感到犹豫。尽管他很喜欢 Tony Parker、George Hill 或 Kawhi Leonard 这些 新秀，但只要他们表现出还没准备好，Popovich 会毫不犹豫地把他们换下场。 But this is a different era, and a different team. Few players on this roster have more playoff experience than Bryant and fellow rookie Dylan Harper do. 但这是一个不同的时代，一支不同的球队。这支球队中，几乎没有人比 Bryant 或另一位 新秀 Dylan Harper 拥有更多的季後赛经验了。 Harper already is entrenched in Johnson’s rotation. Friday night, Bryant will get another chance to prove he should be, too. Harper 已经稳坐 Johnson 的轮替名单。周五晚上，Bryant 将获得另一次机会来证明他 也应该留在那。 And while Wembanyama waits for a teammate to pick him up? 而在 Wembanyama 等待队友拉他一把的同时？ Bryant, with his hand still extended, can’t wait to oblige. Bryant 手依然伸着，他已等不及要效劳了。 April 23, 2026 Mike Finger --
