That’s all it was, but the timing of it made a whole arena take notice. 一时口误。仅此而已，但真的发生时，全场观众都注意到了。 See, at this particular moment on Wednesday night, the reigning NBA rookie of the year was in the process of wearing out the point guard of the century. The young pup had some new tricks, and the old dog looked like he was still under the weather, and then the public-address man at Frost Bank Center announced Stephon Castle was going to the free-throw line. 就在周三晚上的这个特定时刻，这位去年NBA年度最佳新秀正在对抗世纪控球後卫Curry。 这位年轻新秀展现了一些新把戏，而这位老将看起来还有些不适。就在这时， Frost Bank Center的现场广播员宣布 Stephon Castle 要去罚球线。 By calling him “STEPH-en.” 现场广播员喊的是 「史蒂芬」（STEPH-en） As in Stephen Curry. 广播员的念音听起来就像在叫Stephen Curry。 And if the next hour or so proved anything? It was that Castle might be on the verge of becoming the league’s next great Steph, but he still has plenty to learn from the old one. 如果接下来的一个小时证明了什麽？那就是Castle可能正处於成为联盟下一个伟大的「史 蒂芬」的边缘，但他仍有许多东西需要向这位老将学习。 He’ll get another learning opportunity Friday, and these are the kinds of weeks for which the Spurs will be grateful in a few years, if not a few months. Back-to-back games against Curry’s Warriors can make lessons involving poise and execution come to life in a way Mitch Johnson never could do using a whiteboard, and it helps that San Antonio’s young stars are eager pupils. Castle将在本周五再次对上勇士时获得另一个学习机会。开赛至今才几周的时间，而非几 个月，Castle所学到的经验或许会让马刺在几年後心存感激。连续两场对勇士队Curry的 比赛，会让Castle在沉着和执行力学到许多，这些内容不是马刺教练Mitch Johnson能用 白板告诉球员的，但这些场上的经验会对马刺队渴望学习的年轻球星有帮助。 When asked after a 125-120 loss Wednesday what he enjoys about getting to go back-and-forth with the 37-year-old Curry, the 21-year-old Castle said “you really test your mental (game) when guarding him.” 在周三以 125-120 输掉比赛後，当被问及与 37 岁的Curry来回交手有何乐趣时，21 岁 的Castle说：「防守Curry时，真的在考验你的心理素质。」 It’s not just about mental acuity. It’s also about mental endurance. 这不仅仅是关於心理敏锐度。这也关於心理耐力。 When they’re on their game, as they were in the latter stages Wednesday, the Warriors test endurance better than anybody. As dominant as Castle looked in the first half — charging past the older, smaller guard over and over again at the offensive end, while hounding the heck out of him at the other — it was the precursor to a vintage Curry outburst. 当勇士队发挥出色时，就像他们在周三比赛後期所做的那样，他们比任何人都更能考验耐 力。尽管Castle在上半场看起来极具统治力—在进攻端一次又一次地冲过这位年纪更大、 体型较小的後卫，同时在防守端对他穷追不舍—但这只是一次经典Curry爆发的前奏。 First, the Warriors put Castle in foul trouble. Then they pounced, with Curry pouring in 22 of his 46 points in the third quarter, while Golden State turned what had been a 16-point Spurs lead into ancient history. 首先，勇士队让Castle陷入了犯规麻烦。接着他们猛扑而上，Curry在第三节狂砍他全场 46 分中的 22 分，勇士队将马刺队的 16 分领先优势变成了历史。 And here’s the important part: this didn’t happen because Castle played poorly. On the contrary, he finished with his first career triple-double, and continued his recent trend of borderline-brilliant all-around impact. 重要是：这并不是因为Castle打得差。恰恰相反，Castle打出了职业生涯第一次大三元， 并延续了他近期几近精采的全能表现的趋势。 The difference was a more experienced guard on a more experienced team found another level, and Castle’s Spurs just couldn’t quite match it. 不同之处在於，一位更有经验的後卫，在一支更有经验的球队中，找到了一个更高的水平 ，而Castle和马刺队只是无法完全匹配。 “It's not like they got away from us,” Castle said. “But they started to play how they wanted to play, and we couldn't allow that.” Castle说：「这不像他们甩开了我们。但他们开始打出他们想要的比赛方式，我们不能允 许这样。」 This happens in the NBA all the time. It’s how many games are won and lost. The Spurs understand that, conceptually. But to make the leaps they hope to make, this season and beyond, they need to experience it. 这种事在 NBA 屡见不鲜。这就是许多比赛的胜负方式。马刺队在概念上理解这一点。但 为了实现他们希望在本赛季及以後的飞跃，马刺队需要亲身体验它。 A loss like Wednesday’s can help. It can help Friday night, when in some key stretch, the Warriors are sure to make another bid to impose their will. And it can help somewhere else down the line, when Castle might figure out how to flip the switch on some other guard the way Curry flipped it on him. 像周三这样的失利会对马刺队的成长有帮助。它将有助於周五晚上，当在某些关键时段， 勇士队肯定会再次试图施加他们的意志时。它也将有助於未来的某个时刻，那时Castle也 许能像Curry对付他那样，找出如何应对其他後卫的方法。 He’s already way ahead of schedule. The 3-point stroke isn’t a weapon yet, and it probably will never come close to matching that of the best shooter in basketball history, but every other facet of Castle’s game is on track to becoming elite. Castle已经远远超出了预期。目前Castle三分球能力还不足以成为一项武器，Castle三分 球能力也可能永远无法接近篮球史上最伟大射手的水准，但Castle的其他方面都正朝着精 英水准迈进。 As for the unfounded concerns that his progress might somehow be stunted playing alongside a point guard like De’Aaron Fox? With the caveat that three games probably don’t provide a large enough sample to make any grand pronouncements, just look at what’s happened since Fox joined the lineup last weekend: 赛季开打前，有不少对於Castle能否跟De’Aaron Fox一起打球的担忧，两个一起上场是 否会产生什麽阻碍?到目前虽然Castle跟De’Aaron Fox一起上场仅有3场，但这3场数据或 许能说明什麽。(本段英文太过绕舌，所以我有稍微改得更好阅读一些) Castle's scoring (18.8 points per game to 19.3) and rebounding (6.0 to 6.3) averages have showed moderate gains, while his assist-to-turnover ratio (6.6-to-5.0 without Fox; 11.3-to-1.7 with Fox) has exploded. Improvement of that magnitude might be unsustainable, but it makes sense that sharing a backcourt with Fox can benefit Castle in a major way. Castle得分(从场均 18.8 分到 19.3 分)和篮板(从 6.0 个到 6.3 个)的平均数据略有增 加，而他的助攻失误比(没有福克斯时为 6.6-to-5.0；有福克斯时为 11.3-to-1.7)则爆 炸式增长。如此提升幅度可能难以持续，但这说明Castle与Fox共享後场对Castle有极大 益处。 He doesn't have to force passes anymore. He has more freedom to operate between two defense magnets in Fox and Victor Wembanyama. And with another super-quick guard on the floor, he and the Spurs can seize more chances to push the tempo, which suits Castle's skill set. 他不必再强行传球。在Fox和Victor Wembanyama这两个防守磁石之间，他有更多的自由来 运作。并且，由於场上有了另一位速度极快的後卫，Castle和马刺队可以抓住更多机会加 快节奏，这很适合Castle的技术特点。 He's not quite a household name yet. But eventually, there should be fewer slips of the tongue for PA announcers, like when Castle was referred to as "STEVE-on" at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles last week. Castle还不是一个家喻户晓的名字。但最终，现场广播员的口误应该会减少，比如上周在 洛杉矶 Crypto.com Arena，Castle被称为「史蒂夫-昂」（"STEVE-on"）一样。 In San Antonio on Wednesday, "STEPH-en" sounded like a compliment. 在圣安东尼奥周三的比赛中，「史蒂芬」（"STEPH-en"）听起来像是一种赞美。 Someday, "Steph-ON" might just sound that way, too. 总有一天，「史蒂芬-昂」（"Steph-ON"）也可能会如此。 Nov 13, 2025 Mike Finger Sports Columnist 备注：城堡名字的正确发音建议google "stephon castle pronunciation" 并转成美式发音，比较像史蒂风的念法 --
