“パーフェクトを求める心” ─ ヤング・スパーズ、王手のGame5|Chris’s Court Vision [5/14]

  • Minnesota Timberwolves

2026 NBAプレーオフ ウェスタン・カンファレンス準決勝 第5戦
最終スコア:
スパーズ 126 — ウルブズ 97(シリーズ:スパーズ 3-2)


歴史的に見ると、カンファレンス準決勝が2勝2敗と並んでから、Game5に勝ったチームは、勝ち抜け確率84.2%—— 一戦必勝のゲームにスパーズは文字通り奮い立ち、自らの意思をゲーム開始直後から明確に示した。

フロストバンク・センターで迎えたGame5——ビクター・ウェンバンヤマのバウンスバック、ペイントの完全支配、そして一度追いつかれても動じなかった「成熟」。最終スコアは126-97。G4退場の汚名をすすいだ22歳を中心に、サンアントニオは7年ぶりのポストシーズンでカンファレンス・ファイナルへ王手をかけた。


ウェンバンヤマのアンサー

Game4のフラグラント2退場から中一日。ウェンバンヤマは開始わずか6分で16得点を叩き出し、前半だけで21得点・11リバウンド——ティム・ダンカン以来、スパーズの選手が前半だけで達成したダブルダブルとしてはマイルストーン的な数字だ。

内と外、どちらからでも得点できる唯一無二の超銀河的スケールはこの日も健在で、スパーズは最大15点リードを奪い前半を59-47で折り返した。試合を通じてのプレータイムは32分半。試合後のコート上で放った彼の言葉は冷静そのものだった。

ホームでやるべきことをやった。でも仕事はまだ終わっていない。もう1つ勝利して行きたい

まさに勝って兜の緒を締めるような発言。試合後に"後半は山あり谷ありだった"と振り返ったウェンバンヤマ。その言葉を最も正確に体現したのが、第3クォーターだった。


劇的な3Q——「慌てない」ことの意味

後半開始直後、ウルブスが動いた。エドワーズのオフボール動き出しとゴベアのハンドオフを組み合わせた「シカゴアクション(別名 : Zoomアクション)」が機能し、7-0のスコアリングランで一気に61-59——12点差から2点差まで詰め寄った。

しかしスパーズは崩れなかった。タイムアウト一発で落ち着きを取り戻し、その後30-12の猛攻で3Qを締めくくった。この試合で21得点を叩き出したケルドン・ジョンソン – シリーズ平均8.8点に終わっていた男が、3Qだけで8得点。2年目のスーパースター キャッスルも8点、1年目のスーパールーキー ハーパーも6点を加え、改めてスパーズのドライブゲームの強烈さを世界に印象付けた。

なんとこの3Qだけでスパーズはペイント内で20-8の優位性を生み出したのだ。

1Qに試合のトーンをセットし、見事な音色に調律したウェンバンヤマは3Q、3得点。それでも試合後ティンバーウルブス フィンチHCは

"Our defense just cratered. We gave up 30 points, I think, in the last six minutes of the third quarter. A lot of it was just ball contain, ball contain stuff.”
守備が完全に崩れ落ちた。第3クォーターの残り6分で30点を奪われた。その多くは、ただただボールを止められなかったことに尽きる。

と試合を振り返ってコメントしている。

ボールコンテイン、つまりは相手のドライブやペネトレーションを入り口で食い止めること、簡単に侵入を許さないこと。


スパーズのドライブゲームが炸裂

レギュラーシーズンからスパーズのペリメター陣によるドライブの波状攻撃については度々解説してきたが、このシリーズ、そしてこのGame5は改めて猛威を振るった。

ひとつの彗星が銀河を切り裂くのではない。彼らは流星群のように、さまざまな角度からウルブスディフェンスを真一文字に切り裂いた。

ウェンバンヤマの引力が強すぎるが故に、キャッスルは背中にドスンムを背負いながらもバスケットへと進行。パワフルかつアスレティックな彼を止めるものは何もなかった。

しかし、これは後半開始4分間でスパーズ唯一のFG成功であり、序章に過ぎない。
