(Central News Agency Los Angeles 26th comprehensive foreign report) The NBA San Antonio Spurs, led by Wembanyama and Fox, overturned a 19-point deficit in today's playoff game, ultimately defeating the Portland Trail Blazers 114-93 to take a 3-1 series lead.
Agence France-Presse reported that Victor Wembanyama, who missed Game 3 due to a concussion injury in Game 2, made a strong return today, contributing 27 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 steals, and 7 blocks in this game.
The 22-year-old French superstar Wembanyama said, "Obviously, my emotions were very volatile before the game." He has already been selected as the 2026 NBA Defensive Player of the Year and is currently a strong candidate for MVP.
Wembanyama said, "My heart was filled with excitement and frustration, so I completely released these emotions tonight." He also stated that the Spurs' performance during his absence due to injury was simply "amazing."
However, he expressed "unhappiness" about the handling process of the concussion protection protocol by the relevant authorities. This protocol requires injured players to be observed by medical personnel and gradually return to the court in stages.
He said, "From the first day after the injury, my condition has actually been very good."
De'Aaron Fox scored a game-high 28 points, and the Spurs' offense exploded in the second half, overpowering the Trail Blazers 73-35, ultimately leaving the team just one win away from advancing to the Western Conference semifinals.
The Spurs, as the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference, will host Game 5 on the 28th. If they win again, they will advance in this best-of-seven series.
For the Trail Blazers, Deni Avdija scored 26 points, and Jrue Holiday also contributed 20 points, but they were the only two players in the Trail Blazers' starting lineup to score in the second half. (Compiler: Chen Yuting) 1150427
