Victor Wembanyama: NBA game ‘less physical’ than European basketball
Victor Wembanyama表示NBA比賽比歐洲籃球聯賽肢體碰撞更少。

Victor Wembanyama noticed a key difference between the NBA and European basketba
ll during his two games in the 2023 summer league.
在2023年夏季聯賽的兩場比賽中，班馬注意到NBA和歐洲籃球之間的一個關鍵區別。
The Spurs’ No. 1 overall draft pick said the NBA has a bigger emphasis on speed
, but is less physical than basketball across the pond.
聖安東尼奧馬刺隊的狀元表示，NBA更加注重速度，但比起歐洲籃球，更少強調肢體碰撞。
“First of all, the court is more open [here]. It’s going fast, but it’s l
ess physical,” Wembanyama said to the media on Sunday.
「首先，這裡的球場更加寬敞。比賽速度很快，但碰撞較少。」班馬在周日對媒體表示。
“I get fouled a lot, but not as much. Nothing to compare. Here, players are jus
t flying. Out there, it’s more on the ground, pushing on the ground, big box-ou
ts.”
「我受到的犯規很多，但沒有那麼多。沒有可比性。在這裡，大家飛來飛去的。而在那裡，
更多的是在地面上進行身體碰撞，用力推擠、擋開對方。」
Wembanyama, 19, didn’t see this adjustment as a bad thing, though, noting he’s
now playing against athletes who are “the best in the world” and said he like
s the NBA style better.
然而，19歲的班馬並不認為這種調整是壞事，他指出自己現在正在對抗「世界上最好的運動
員」，並表示他更喜歡NBA的風格。
The 7-foot-4 center’s observation came after he dropped 27 points and 12 reboun
ds against the Blazers in San Antonio’s 80-85 loss in Las Vegas on Sunday.
這位身高7尺4寸的中鋒是在周日的賽事中觀察到這一點的，當時他在馬刺以80-85不敵拓荒
者的比賽中取得了27分和12個籃板。
It was a bounce-back performance for Wembanyama who had an underwhelming debut,
posting nine points while shooting just 2-for-13 against the Hornets.
這是班馬的一次反彈，他的首秀對戰黃蜂表現平平，只得到9分，投籃僅13投中2。
“It’s just me getting comfortable with myself, comfortable with my body, the c
ourt,” Wembanyama said after getting his game back on track.
「我在比賽中覺得更舒服了，適應自己的身體和球場。」班馬在恢復比賽狀態後說道。
“Before today, I had like two practices and one game, so I was just getting goi
ng.”
「在今天之前，我只進行了兩次練習和一場比賽，所以我才剛開始進入狀態。」
The Spurs opted to shut their new generational talent down after two games in th
e NBA Summer League, a decision Wembanyama was leaving up to head coach Gregg Po
povich.
在NBA夏季聯賽的兩場比賽後，馬刺選擇讓這位新一代球星休息，關於這個決定，班馬選擇
聽波波的。
“I know I got to talk with Pop,” Wembanyama said on Sunday. “I’m going to li
sten to what he’s going to say, but I’m ready to make any sacrifice for the te
am and give 100 percent.”
「我知道我需要和波波談談，」班馬在周日表示。「我會聽取他的建議，但我準備為球隊做
出任何犧牲，全力以赴。」
Wembanyama is now going to try to stay out of the spotlight following a busy dra
ft season and recent controversy with Britney Spears.
在經歷了繁忙的選秀和最近與小甜甜的爭議之後，班馬現在將嘗試避開鎂光燈。
“Like, this past month, I think basketball wasn’t even 50 percent of my schedu
le,” Wembanyama said. “I can’t stand it. I know it’s a special moment in my
life, but I’m just glad it’s over, honestly. I just want to hoop, work out and
lift.”
「在過去的一個月，我覺得籃球連我行程的50%都沒有。」班馬表示。「我無法忍受這種情
況。我知道這是我生活中的一個特別時刻，但老實說，我很高興這一切結束了。我只想打球
、訓練和鍛煉身體。」
