Stephon Castle 的脑子里现在全是 AV…底家 XD… The matchup between the Spurs top perimeter defender and Portland's star forward will be in the spotlight throughout the first-round Western Conference playoff series. 这位马刺队顶尖的外线防守者与波特兰明星前锋之间的对决，将成为整个西区季後赛首轮 系列赛的焦点。 "Steph is ready to take that challenge," Spurs forward Devin Vassell said. "That's what he's been talking about the past couple of days." 马刺前锋 Devin Vassell 表示：「城堡已经准备好接受挑战了，这正是他过去几天一直 挂在嘴边的话题。」 Avdija, a 6-foot-8, 228-pound first-time All-Star this season, had 41 points and 12 assists in the Trail Blazers' 114-110 victory over Phoenix on Tuesday night in the NBA Play-In Tournament. He ranked 14th in the league in scoring with a 24.2 per-game average and 12th in assists with a 6.7 norm and was one of just three players in the league along with Luka Doncic and Nikola Jokic to average 24-plus points, 6-plus rebounds and 6-plus assists. Avdija 身高 6 尺 8 寸、体重 228 磅，本赛季首度入选明星赛。他在周二晚间的 NBA 附加赛中砍下 41 分并送出 12 次助攻，带领拓荒者以 114 比 110 击败凤凰城太阳。他 本季以场均 24.2 分排名联盟得分榜第 14 位，并以场均 6.7 次助攻排名第 12 位；他 是联盟中仅有的三位能场均贡献24分、6篮板、6助攻以上的球员之一，另外两位是 Luka Doncic 和 Nikola Jokic。 The 25-year-old Israeli ranked third in the league in free throws attempted per game at 7.4. 这位 25 岁的以色列好手，场均获得 7.4 次罚球机会，排名全联盟第三。 "Obviously, he's the head of the snake for them, so we expect him to be super aggressive," Castle said. "He's definitely a focal point of ours." 「显然地，Avdija是他们的领军人物，所以我们预期他会极具侵略性，」Castle 说。「 他绝对是我们关注的焦点。」 Vassell is confident Castle is ready for the challenge. Vassell 对 Castle 迎接挑战的能力充满信心。 "He takes pride in guarding the ball, and I think all of us do," Vassell said. "It's going to be interesting to see how that matchup is these first couple of games. But with (defensive-minded assistant Sean) Sweeney and all the coaches we have here, we have a great game plan. I think we're ready to execute it." 「他以防守持球者为荣，我想我们全队都是如此，」Vassell 说。「看看系列赛前几场这 个对位会如何发展，应该会非常有趣。但在Sean Sweeney 以及我们所有教练团的带领下 ，我们有一份出色的比赛计画。我想我们已经准备好去执行它了。」 Vassell said the key will be taking away Avdija's dominant right hand. Vassell 指出，关键在於封锁 Avdija 强势的右手。 "We know he loves getting to his right hand, so if we can take away that right hand and getting to the free throw line as much as he does away, then we'll be in good shape," Vassell said. 「我们知道他非常喜欢右手切入，所以如果我们能封锁他的右手，并减少他站上罚球线的 次数，那我们的处境就会很乐观，」Vassell 说。 But the Spurs know it won't be easy. 但马刺队也深知这绝非易事。 "He's just a relentless driver," De'Aarn Fox said of Avdija. "That's what makes him who he is. You know what he wants to do. He knows what he wants to do. I think the arena knows what he wants to do. But it's can you stop him? You're not going to just shut him down. You're not going to stop him because he is relentless. You just try to make his night as inefficient as possible. And that's a tough thing to do. That's why they were able to beat a good Phoenix team and that's why they made the playoffs." 「他就是个不知疲倦的切入者，」De'Aaron Fox 在谈到 Avdija 时表示。「这就是他的 特色所在。你知道他想做什麽，他也清楚自己要做什麽，我想全场观众都知道他想干嘛。 但问题在於：你能阻止他吗？你不可能完全锁死他，也不可能让他停下来，因为他意志坚 定。你只能试着让他的进攻效率尽可能降低，而这是一件很困难的事。这就是为什麽他们 能击败优秀的凤凰城队，也是他们能打进季後赛的原因。」 Fox said the task of slowing down Avdija will require a team effort. Fox 表示，要减缓 Avdija 的破坏力需要团队合作。 "It's going to be a collective effort," he said. "Obviously, we want to do a good job on the ball (with Castle). Send him where we want to send him. But you're going to have help." 「这将会是集体的努力，」他说。「显然，我们希望让城堡在第一线防守持球时做得出色 ，将他引导至我们希望他去的位置。但你还是会需要队友的协防。」 April 17, 2026 Tom Orsborn https://www.expressnews.com/sports/spurs/article/playoff-anticipation-spurs-keldon-johnson-devin-22212506.php Playoff anticipation has Spurs' Keldon Johnson, Devin Vassell 'antsy' for Sunday 季後赛期待感拉满，马刺 Keldon Johnson、Devin Vassell 为周日大战感到焦躁难耐 The two longest-tenured current Spurs can't wait for Game 1 of the team's first-round series with Portland to get here. 马刺阵中资历最久的两名现役球员，已等不及迎接与波特兰首轮系列赛的第一战 By Tom Orsborn,Staff WriterApril 17, 2026 The two longest-tenured current members of the Spurs can't wait for Sunday night to arrive. 马刺队现役资历最深的两名成员，已经等不及周日晚间的到来了。 Keldon Johnson (seventh season) and Devin Vassell (sixth) will be making the first playoff appearances of their careers when the team's first-round best-of-seven Western Conference matchup with Portland gets underway at 8 p.m. at the Frost Bank Center. 当马刺与波特兰的西区季後赛首轮於周日晚间 8 点在 Frost Bank Center 点燃战火时， 效力第七季的Keldon Johnson与第六季的Devin Vassell将迎来他们职业生涯的首次季後 赛亮相。 "Yeah, me and KJ are super excited," Vassell said after practice Friday at the Victory Capital Performance Center. 「是的，我和 KJ都超级兴奋，」Vassell 周五在 Victory Capital 训练中心结束练习後 说道。 "We've been talking about it over and over. We were even talking about it this morning. But it's just good to be in this position, not only just for us, but for the community and for the fans that have been here and kind of been waiting. 「我们一直在反覆聊这件事，甚至今天早上还在聊。能处於这个位置真的很棒，不只是为 了我们自己，也是为了这个社群，以及一直在这里守候、等待的球迷们。」 "It's been a long time overdue, but we're here and we're ready to go." 「这一天已经迟到很久了，但我们现在就在这里，而且我们准备好出击了。」 Johnson (452 games) and Vassell (370) will enter the contest ranked fourth and sixth, respectively, among active NBA players without a playoff appearance. As a team, the Spurs are making their first appearance in the playoff since they lost in seven games to Denver in the first round of the 2019 Western Conference Playoffs. 在进入这场比赛之前，生涯出赛 452 场的KJ与 出赛370 场的Vassell在现役 NBA 尚未有 季後赛出赛纪录的球员中，分别排名第四与第六位。以团队而言，这是马刺队自 2019 年 西区季後赛首轮输给丹佛金块後，首度重返季後赛舞台。 "Feeling a little antsy," Vassell said. "I'm ready to play. I haven't played for a week. It feels really weird, but it's been a good time off. Everybody's healthy, feeling good, so ready to get this thing going." 「感觉有点焦躁难耐」Vassell 说。「我准备好上场了。我已经一周没打比赛了，感觉真 的很奇怪，不过这段休息时间很不错。每个人都很健康，感觉很好，准备好要大干一场了 。」 Vassell said he knows the postseason will be different from the regular season in terms of "physicality" and "a lot of the media, a lot of the outside noise" and that "everything is heightened." To counter all that, he said the team's plan is to stick with what worked so well for them during the regular season when they won 62 games to finish the season seeded No. 2 in the West behind Oklahoma City. Vassell 表示，他知道季後赛在身体对抗强度以及大量的媒体关注、外界杂音方面，会与 例行赛截然不同，而且一切都会被放大。为了应对这些，他表示球队的计画是坚持他们在 例行赛中行之有效的做法。马刺队在本季例行赛豪取 62 胜，仅次於奥克拉荷马雷霆，以 西区第二种子身分结束赛季。 "Our plan is just to be the same, focus on us and the same stuff that we've been doing this past 82 we played. Nothing really changes for us," he said. 「我们的计画就是保持自我，专注於我们自身，以及过去 82 场比赛一直在做的事情。对 我们来说，没什麽真正改变的。」他说。 April 17, 2026 Tom Orsborn Sports Reporter --
