When the season began, they knew it was the start of something. They just didn’t know the scale of it. This season was supposed to be a stepping stone to somewhere grand, a solidification of the hope and promise slowly building since the moment their prized cornerstone showed up. 马刺队已经很久没有对未来感到如此确定了。赛季开始时，他们知道这是一个新的起点， 只是没想到规模会如此宏大。本赛季原被视为通往伟大目标的垫脚石，是自那位珍贵的基 石Wembanyama降临後，缓慢累积的希望与承诺的逐渐具体化。 Shutting the door on the Portland Trail Blazers was the full confirmation that their moment is now. The Spurs eliminated the Blazers in Tuesday’s Game 5 with a 114-95 win. Victor Wembanyama took the seventh-most shots on the team. When he checked out in the end, he was thrilled. He didn’t need to take over. He needed to play his outsized role in a system that proved itself this past week. 周二对波特兰拓荒者的关门战，正式确认了他们的时代已经到来。马刺队在第五战以 114-95 淘汰了拓荒者。Victor Wembanyama 该场的出手次数仅排在全队第七。当他最後 被换下场休息时，他显得无比欣奋。他不需要接管比赛，他只需要在过去这周被证明行之 有效的系统中，扮演好他那份量十足的角色。 “What I like is we resorted to going back to the game plan and going back to trusting each other in moments where it was hard,” Wembanyama said. “So that ’s a statement, how much we trust each other and how much we trust the process.” 「我喜欢的是，在困难时刻，我们选择回归比赛计画，回归对彼此的信任，」 Wembanyama 说。「这是一个宣言，展现了我们多麽信任彼此，以及我们对这段过程的信 心。」 The Spurs’ direction crystallized a while ago, when their perfect February showed the full breadth of their potential. It seemed then like they were primed for a championship run. This week mitigated any doubts that they would hit a brick wall in the postseason. It allayed fears that the team didn’t have an unquestionable second star who could carry the burden next to Wemby. The sum of the parts has proven to be a better step forward than whatever drastic move was on the market last offseason. This is clearly the right team to build around the ultimate player. 马刺队的方向早在几个月前就已定调，当时他们完美的二月表现展现了全部的潜力。那时 看起来他们已为争冠做好了准备。而这周的表现则消除了所有关於他们会在季後赛撞墙的 疑虑；它平息了人们对於「球队是否拥有绝对第二球星来分担 Wemby 压力」的恐惧。事 实证明，整体力量的总和是比去年休赛季市场上任何激进交易都要更好的进步。这显然是 围绕这位终极球员建队的正确选择。 Wembanyama wasn’t speculating over the summer about San Antonio making a big splash for the likes of a Giannis Antetokounmpo or some other superstar. He didn’t waste time wondering if there was going to be another MVP-caliber player next to him, cashing in the depth of young talent that has become the Spurs’ calling card. Wembanyama 在夏天并没有去揣测马刺队是否会为了引进像 Giannis Antetokounmpo 这样 的超级巨星而大动干戈。他没有浪费时间去期待身边出现另一位 MVP 等级的球员，而是 选择相信马刺引以为傲的年轻天赋深度。 “I know (GM) Brian (Wright) knows who we are and trusts the process,” he said. “He should get Executive of the Year, also, for not making a move.” 「我知道总经理 Brian Wright 了解我们是谁，并信任这个过程，」他说。「他也该拿个 年度最佳行政球员奖，因为他选择了按兵不动。」 This series epitomized the prudence of Wright and his front office’s process, as the cavalry of guards surrounding Wembanyama gives the team a wide variety of approaches every given night. There was no adjustment the Blazers could make that would keep the Spurs on their heels. 这个系列赛体现了 Wright 及其管理层流程的谨慎。围绕在 Wembanyama 身边的後卫群， 让球队每晚都能展现多样化的进攻手段。拓荒者做出的任何调整，都无法让马刺陷入困境 。 An answer was always right around the corner, often Wembanyama lurking just out of frame. His 13 blocks in the series’ final two games punctuated just how small the court is when he’s on it. He envelops everything on both ends, and the Spurs understand how to work with that better than ever. 答案总是在转角处出现，而且通常伴随着潜伏在镜头外的 Wembanyama。他在系列赛最後 两场送出的 13 次火锅，强调了只要他在场上，球场就显得无比窄小。他在攻守两端包摄 了一切，而马刺队比以往任何时候都更懂得如何与之配合。 “It’s been part of the regularly scheduled programming all year,” Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said. “I think Victor had, at some point, four or six points, and we had almost 50 points. It was just our shot, every possession.” 「这是一整年来既定常规的一部分，」马刺总教练 Mitch Johnson 说。「我记得 Victor 某个时间点才拿了 4 到 6 分，但我们已经拿了快 50 分。每个回合都有人能出 手。」 There was a different energy from Wembanyama from the opening tip. He screamed into the crowd, celebrated early buckets like it was the NBA Finals and protected the rim like he could win the game with each block. 从开球那一刻起，Wembanyama 就展现了不同的能量。他对着观众席怒吼，庆祝早期的进 球就像那是总决赛一样，并像能用火锅赢下比赛般守护篮框。 “We just didn’t want to fly back to Portland,” Julian Champagnie said after scoring 19 points on 5-of-7 shooting from deep. “It was a four-hour flight. So being up 3-1 and playing at home, it’s a good chance to close it out and not go back. So that was all of the motivation we needed.” 「我们只是不想再飞回波特兰了，」全场三分球7投5中拿下19分的 Julian Champagnie 说。「那是四小时的航程。所以带着 3-1 领先回到主场，是终结系列赛的好机会。这就 是我们需要的全部动力。」 Stephon Castle called it their most professional game of the series, punching the Blazers in the chest out of the gate and controlling the game from the get-go. After the Game 2 loss following Wembanyama’s concussion, the Spurs — who haven’t had to process big losses too much since the new year began — got the inevitable reality check. Stephon Castle 称这是他们整个系列赛打得最专业的一场比赛，开局就给了拓荒者重击 并掌控全局。在 Wembanyama 遭遇脑震荡导致第二战输球後，这支自元旦以来没经历过太 多惨败的球队，得到了一次必然的现实考验。 “I felt like it was a wake-up call that we needed, especially this early on in the playoffs,” Castle said. “So I feel like it brought the best out of everybody.” 「我觉得那是我们需要的警钟，尤其是在季後赛这麽早的阶段，」Castle 说。「所以我 觉得这激发了每个人的最佳状态。」 This has been the key to the Spurs’ season. They didn’t need to make the final big move this offseason because they had the potential to build something more balanced and sustainable. Castle has become a rock for the team every night while Dylan Harper is emerging as a premier guard. Stepping up in the trenches of the playoffs hasn’t been as steep a learning curve as it would be for most young players. 这是马刺本季的关键：他们不需要在去年休赛季做出最後一步大动作，因为他们有潜力建 立更平衡、更具持续性的体系。Castle 已成为球队每晚的中流砥柱，而 Dylan Harper 正崛起为顶尖後卫。对这群年轻人来说，在季後赛壕沟里的学习曲线，并不像一般新秀那 样陡峭。 “We’re in this position because of what they did throughout the course of the season,” point guard De’Aaron Fox said. “So they know that they belong here.” 「我们能处於这个位置，是因为他们在整个赛季中的努力，」後卫 De'Aaron Fox 说。「 所以他们知道自己属於这里。」 That was the beauty of this clinching win was that everyone else did most of the scoring while Wembanyama just managed the gravity of the floor. He is one of the few stars in the league whose game is mostly geared toward opening up those of his teammates. The less he has the ball, the more dangerous he becomes. It’s allowed Castle and Harper to evolve rapidly to the point that they are reliable contributors to a team rolling through the first round. 这场关门战的优美之处在於，其他人负责了大部分得分，而 Wembanyama 则负责掌控场上 的引力。他是联盟中少数能透过自己的比赛来为队友创造空间的球星。他持球越少，威胁 反而越大。这让 Castle 和 Harper 迅速进化，成为首轮系列赛中可靠的贡献者。 “It’s not all the talent. It’s not all superstars that just get downhill. We just win because we’re nice,” Champagnie said. “I think that, throughout the series, we’ve shown that we can be a physical team and we can bump and hit all game long.” 「不全是天赋，也不全是只会切入的超级巨星。我们赢球是因为我们打得很棒（nice）， 」Champagnie 说。「我想在整个系列赛中，我们展示了我们能成为一支强悍的球队，我 们可以整场与对手碰撞而不退缩。」 Now that the Spurs have their first playoff series win in nine years, they can finally take pride in the validity of building around Wembanyama. The process has officially worked. You could see it all over his face as he checked out of the game. 现在马刺队拿到了九年来的首个系列赛胜利，他们终於可以为围绕Wembanyama建队的正确 性感到自豪。这个过程正式宣告成功。当 Wembanyama 最後退场休息时，这一切都写在他 的脸上。 “Because it feels like a step past, a step well done,” Wembanyama said. “I ’m personally happy to see things moving forward and in the right direction. ” 「因为这感觉像是迈过了门槛，一步紮实的好棋，」Wembanyama 说。「我个人很高兴看 到事情在持续推进，并朝着正确的方向发展。」 By Jared Weiss --
