It feels weird when you have to wait.” 「这种感觉开始变得不太对劲，不知道接下来要对抗谁，」Wembanyama说。「我们习惯了 赛程中总是会有下一个威胁接踵而来。当你必须等待时，感觉很怪。」 Credit the Minnesota Timberwolves for putting Wembanyama out of his relative misery Thursday. Low on healthy bodies but high on grit, the sixth-seeded Wolves bested Denver 110-98 in a decisive Game 6 of their first-round series, cementing themselves as Wembanyama’s next foil in the Western Conference semifinals. 这点要归功於灰狼队，他们在周四终结了Wembanyama的焦虑。虽然健康战力捉襟见肘，但 斗志极其高昂，身为第六种子的灰狼在首轮系列赛关键的第六战中以 110-98 击败丹佛金 块，确定成为 Wembanyama 在西区准决赛的下一个对手。 Game 1 is Monday at the Frost Bank Center. 第一战将於周一在 Frost Bank Center 举行。 The Spurs’ first round series against Portland often took on the rough-and-tumble tenor of a cage match. Spurs coach Mitch Johnson is expecting more of the same once the Timberwolves come to town. 马刺对阵波特兰的首轮系列赛，经常呈现出笼斗般粗野对抗的基调。马刺总教练 Mitch Johnson 预期，灰狼马刺这系列赛，情况也会大同小异。 "They guard, they're physical, they try to impose their will and their competitiveness on you,” Johnson said after the Spurs’ first Minnesota-specific practice Friday. “And they’ve got a lot of individuals that take pride in that." 「他们防守强悍，身体对抗激烈，他们试图将自己的意志和竞争心强加在你身上，」 Johnson 在周五马刺首场针对明尼苏达的练习赛後表示。「而且他们阵中有很多以这点为 荣的球员。」 How much Minnesota will still have left in the tank come Monday is anybody’s guess. 到周一为止，明尼苏达还剩下多少体能储备，谁也说不准。 The Timberwolves took a 3-1 lead against Denver, but lost star guard Anthony Edwards to a knee injury in Game 4. Key reserve Donte DiVincenzo was knocked out for the remainder of the postseason with a ruptured Achilles tendon. 灰狼队曾对丹佛取得 3-1 的领先，但在第四战失去了明星後卫 Anthony Edwards（膝盖 受伤）。关键後备 Donte DiVincenzo 也因阿基里斯腱断裂确定季後赛报销。 In addition, Minnesota had to play Game 6 without guard Ayo Dosunmu, who was out with a calf injury. 此外，明尼苏达在第六战还是在缺少後卫 Ayo Dosunmu（小腿受伤）的情况下进行。 The way the shorthanded Timberwolves dug deep to finish off the Nuggets anyway caught the attention of those in the Spurs locker room. 这支人手短缺的灰狼队依然能激发斗志解决掉金块队的方式，引起了马刺休息室的关注。 “Obviously they showed (Thursday) night the type of character and resolve and competitiveness they have,” Johnson said. “They played us well this year and since I've been here. A very competitive team that's played with a lot of confidence.” 「显然他们在（周四）晚上展现了那种特质、决心和竞争力，」Johnson 说。「从我担任 马刺教练起，灰狼对马刺都打得很好。灰狼是一支竞争意识极强且充满信心的球队。」 Heading into the second round, the story of the series is the health of Edwards. 进入第二轮，系列赛的核心故事在於 Edwards 的健康状况。 He is expected to miss at least the first two games and possibly the third nursing a bone bruise in his left knee. The Wolves have projected hope the four-time All-Star will return at some point in the series. 由於左膝骨头挫伤，预计他至少会缺席前两场比赛，甚至可能是第三场。灰狼队对这位四 度入选明星赛的球星能在系列赛某个时间点回归抱持希望。 For the Spurs, it will be imperative to bank as many wins as possible before Edwards is back on the floor. 对於马刺而言，在 Edwards 回到场上之前，尽可能地多赢下比赛是当务之急。 Until that happens, the Spurs are planning on having to deal with a relentless Minnesota squad that just upset the West’s No. 3 seed. 在这种情况发生前，马刺正计画应对一支刚爆冷击败西区第三种子的韧性军团。 “They play how they play,” Johnson said. “They play aggressive. And Ant is the biggest puzzle piece of what they have, and that influences a lot. In terms of their style of play and their disposition and brand, I don’t think it changes too much.” 「他们坚持自己的打法，」Johnson 说。「他们打得很具侵略性。Ant 是他们最重要的拼 图，影响力巨大。但在比赛风格、心态和球队品牌方面，我不认为会有太大改变。」 With or without Edwards, Wembanyama is expecting the Timberwolves to challenge the Spurs’ resolve and attention to detail. 无论有没有 Edwards，Wembanyama 都预期灰狼会挑战马刺的决心和对细节的专注。 “It's just a team that forces you to be on for 48 minutes every game,” Wembanyama said. 「这就是一支强迫你每场比赛都得专注 48 分钟的球队，」Wembanyama 说。 After Game 6 in Minnesota, Timberwolves coach Chris Finch wasted little time laying the psychological groundwork for the second round. 在明尼苏达赢下第六战後，灰狼总教练 Chris Finch 没浪费时间，随即为第二轮奠定了 心理战的基础。 “I figured the real winner of this series was going to be San Antonio, because both these teams (Denver and Minnesota) were going to take a lot of pieces out of each other — and did,” said Finch, whose team is seeking its third consecutive trip to the conference finals. “So I’m not sure what we have left standing before we go down there.” 「我认为这个系列赛真正的赢家将会是马刺，因为灰狼与金块这两支球队都在互相消耗， 事实也确实如此，」带领球队寻求连续第三年杀入分区决赛的 Finch 说。「所以我不知 道在我们南下（圣城）之前，阵中还剩下多少能站着的人。」 The Spurs, meanwhile, harbor no doubts about the challenge ahead, even facing a wounded Minnesota club. 与此同时，即使面对的是受伤的明尼苏达球队，马刺对未来的挑战毫无疑虑。 “This next series will test us more than anything we've gone through this year,” Johnson said. 「下个系列赛将比我们今年经历过的任何事情都更考验我们，」Johnson 说。 There were heroes aplenty for the Timberwolves in the first round. 灰狼在首轮出现了许多英雄。 Edwards’ 30 points and 10 rebounds carried Minnesota in Game 2. Dosunmu was the star of Games 3 and 4, coming off the bench to score 25 and 43 points, respectively. Jaden McDaniels exploded for 32 in the Wolves’ Game 6 clincher. Edwards 的 30 分 10 篮板带领球队赢下第二战。Dosunmu 是第三、四战的球星，从板凳 出发分别攻下 25 分与 43 分。Jaden McDaniels 则在第六战关门战中爆发砍下 32 分。 Throughout the series, four-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year Rudy Gobert made life miserable for three-time NBA Most Valuable Player Nikola Jokic. 整个系列赛中，四度年度最佳防守球员 Rudy Gobert 让三度 MVP Nikola Jokic 苦不堪 言。 Gobert chalked up the Timberwolves’ Game 6 victory to one word – belief. Gobert 将灰狼在第六战的胜利归功於一个词：信念。 “You have to believe that you can win, no matter what,” Gobert said. “ Obviously we’re missing some pretty important players, right? But no matter who’s out there, we believe in our defense. We believe in trusting one another. Anything’s possible.” 「你必须相信你能赢，无论发生什麽，」Gobert 说。「显然我们缺了一些相当重要的球 员，对吧？但无论谁在场上，我们都相信自己的防守，相信彼此，一切皆有可能。」 In San Antonio, Wembanyama and the second-seeded Spurs are learning the same. 在圣安东尼奥，Wembanyama 与第二种子的马刺也正在学习同样的事情。 They knocked off Portland in five games despite losing Wembanyama to a concussion for the second half of Game 2 and all of Game 3. 尽管在第二战下半场与第三战整场因脑震荡失去了 Wembanyama，他们仍在五场内解决了 波特兰。 Without their 7-foot-4 centerpiece, the Spurs had to rally from 15 points down to win Game 3 on the road. With Wembanyama back in uniform for Game 4, the Spurs fell in a 19-point hold before posting another come-from-behind win. 在失去这根 7 尺 4 寸的顶梁柱时，马刺必须在客场克服 15 分的落後赢下第三战。当 Wembanyama 在第四战重新穿上球衣时，马刺在落後 19 分的坑洞中再次逆转获胜。 “It just shows resilience, but that was just through one round,” Wembanyama said. “We’ve got to show it through three more.” 「这展现了韧性，但那只是过了一轮，」Wembanyama 说。「我们必须在接下来的三轮中 继续展现出来。」 Now that the second-round matchup is set, Wembanyama and the Spurs are ready to get on with it. 既然第二轮的对决已经定稿，Wembanyama 和马刺已经准备好大干一场。 The waiting, thankfully, is almost over. 万幸的是，等待几乎结束了。 May 1, 2026 Jeff McDonald Spurs Writer --
