金州女武神抢七险胜梦想 建队两年夺队史首冠创北美纪录Golden State Valkyries Edge Atlanta Dream in Game 7 to Capture Historic First WNBA Championship

在旧金山大通中心打响的抢七大战呈现出激烈的拉锯态势。亚特兰大梦想队开局投篮10投0中并出现2次失误，金州女武神队随即打出8比0的攻势。但梦想队随后找回节奏，首节结束时以14比12实现反超。次节梦想队后卫乔丁·加拿大单节拿下11分，率队打出一波9比0的高潮，而女武神队则遭遇超过8分钟的运动战进球荒，整个半场三分球前10投全失，仅由凯拉·桑顿在半场结束前3分钟命中一记三分球打破得分荒。半场战罢，梦想队以30比24保持6分领先优势。

The winner-take-all Game 7 at Chase Center unfolded in a tightly contested defensive battle. Atlanta endured a cold start, missing their first 10 shots from the field with two turnovers, allowing Golden State to open the game with an 8-0 run. The Dream recovered as Angel Reese scored Atlanta's first points off an offensive rebound, taking a 14-12 lead into the second quarter. Driven by guard Jordin Canada, who scored 11 of her 13 first-half points in the second period, Atlanta built a 9-0 run to establish a commanding margin. Meanwhile, the Valkyries went more than eight minutes without a field goal to start the quarter and missed their first 10 three-point attempts before Kayla Thornton finally connected from deep with three minutes remaining. Atlanta entered halftime with a 30-24 cushion.

下半场开局阶段，梦想队凭借坚韧防守在第三节中段将领先优势扩大到37比28的9分分差。随后女武神队打出反击，塞西莉亚·赞达拉西尼将分差缩小至5分，全队在第三节末段轰出一波17比3的攻势反超比分。末节两队交替领先，终场前两分多钟战成平局后女武神队稳住局势，最终以68比63锁定胜局。凭借此胜，金州女武神队在建队第二年便摘得总冠军，打破了涵盖NBA、WNBA、NHL、MLB和NFL在内的北美主流职业体育联盟新扩军球队夺冠速度的最快纪录。

Atlanta extended its lead to 37-28 midway through the third quarter behind active interior defense before Golden State mounted a fierce comeback. Valkyries forward Cecilia Zandalasini trimmed the margin to five points, and Golden State closed out the frame on a dominant 17-3 surge to take a 45-44 lead into the final quarter. After Atlanta answered to tie the contest at 57-57 in the closing minutes, the Valkyries held their composure to close out the 68-63 victory. The dramatic comeback secured Golden State's first title in just their second year of existence, setting the fastest mark for an expansion team to win a championship across major North American professional sports leagues.

在经历上半场仅得2分的低迷后，金州女武神队前锋加比·威廉姆斯在下半场彻底接管比赛。威廉姆斯在第三节轰下15分，并在56秒内连中3记三分球，一人独揽全队该节最后13分，随后在第四节再取13分。全场比赛，这位30岁的前锋兼昔日四号秀出战交出30分和4次盖帽的全面数据，不仅在终场前2分18秒命中一记关键的31英尺远投打破僵局，其下半场砍下的28分也创下了WNBA季后赛历史上球员半场得分的最高纪录，毫无悬念地当选总决赛最有价值球员。

Golden State Valkyries forward Gabby Williams took complete control of Game 7 after managing just two points in the first half. Williams sparked the team's offense by erupting for 15 points in the third quarter—knocking down three 3-pointers across a 56-second stretch and scoring the Valkyries' final 13 points of the frame—before adding 13 more points in the fourth. The 30-year-old former fourth overall pick capped her 30-point, four-block performance with a go-ahead 31-foot three-pointer with 2:18 remaining to break a 57-57 tie. Her 28 points across the final two quarters established a new WNBA postseason record for the most points scored in a single half, earning her Finals MVP honors.

威廉姆斯赛后透露，主教练娜塔莉·纳卡塞在中场休息时叮嘱她保持耐心，虽然这并不容易，但她选择听从主帅指引。纳卡塞不仅曾两度作为球员夺冠，本赛季还当选了联盟年度最佳教练。终场哨响后，威廉姆斯在赛后领奖时直言自己热爱这种关键时刻，并表示绝不接受在万圣节这个夜晚吞下失利苦果。

Following the victory, Williams credited head coach Natalie Nakase, a two-time champion as a player and the reigning WNBA Coach of the Year, for keeping her focused during halftime adjustments. Williams explained that Nakase instructed her to remain patient when the offense stalled early, an approach she followed despite initial frustration. Celebrating the title as confetti fell at Chase Center, Williams remarked that she relishes high-stakes moments and stated during the trophy presentation that she was not going to lose on Halloween.

在决胜局下半场的关键阶段，亚特兰大梦想队的进攻端陷入停滞。全场拿下13分的后卫乔丁·加拿大虽在比赛前两节扛起得分大旗，但球队在比分被追近后未能形成持续火力。进入第四节，梦想队在运动战中多次受挫，只能依靠阿丽莎·格雷的跳投和罚球咬住比分，但在决胜阶段终究未能阻挡对手的连续反扑。

Atlanta's offensive momentum evaporated during crucial stretches of the second half in Game 7. Guard Jordin Canada, who led the Dream's early attack with 13 first-half points, was unable to sustain the offensive output as the game wore on. Facing Golden State's defensive pressure in the fourth quarter, Atlanta managed only sporadic scoring, leaning heavily on Allisha Gray jumpers and free throws to stay level before falling behind in the closing minutes.

前锋安吉尔·里斯在关键战役后程的低迷成为比赛焦点。里斯全场7投3中交出8分、12个篮板和4次失误，其中第三节完成一次对抗后的勾手投篮成为她整场最后一次运动战得分。在至关重要的第四节，里斯未出手任何投篮，仅在比赛剩余18.6秒时依靠罚球得到1分。这也让她在总决赛最后四场比赛中合计仅得到38分，投篮45投12中（命中率26.7%），且出现19次失误，连续四场出现失误数多于运动战进球数的低迷走势。

Forward Angel Reese's late-game disappearance proved costly for Atlanta with the championship on the line. Reese concluded the contest with eight points on 3-of-7 shooting, 12 rebounds, and four turnovers. Her third-quarter hook shot through contact served as her final made field goal of the night, as she went without a single shot attempt in the fourth quarter and scored her solitary point of the frame on a free throw with 18.6 seconds remaining. Over the final four games of the series, Reese managed just 38 points while shooting 12-for-45 (26.7%) and committing 19 turnovers, marking her fourth consecutive game with more turnovers than made field goals.

在首个赛季以23胜21负战绩跻身季后赛首轮后，金州女武神队成为联盟历史上唯一一支在建队第一年便打入季后赛的扩军球队。进入2026年赛季前，管理层全面重组前场阵容，签下入选全明星阵容的加比·威廉姆斯作为第一得分点，并通过自由球员市场从拉斯维加斯王牌队引进了篮板好手琪亚·斯托克斯。配合常规赛全队助攻王、五年级后卫维罗妮卡·伯顿的组织调度，球队完成了核心架构的搭建。

Following an inaugural campaign where the Golden State Valkyries finished 23-21 and exited in the first round of the playoffs—becoming the only expansion team in league history to reach the postseason in year one—the franchise overhauled its roster ahead of the 2026 season. Management rebuilt the frontcourt by signing Gabby Williams after her first All-Star appearance to serve as the primary scorer and acquiring rebounder Kiah Stokes from the Las Vegas Aces in free agency. They paired these frontcourt additions with fifth-year point guard Veronica Burton, who led the squad in assists throughout the regular season.

这套经过重组的阵容在总决赛中为年度最佳教练娜塔莉·纳卡塞提供了充足的调整空间。总决赛先赢一场后，女武神队遭遇连续两位数分差的惨败，总比分1比2落后亚特兰大梦想队。纳卡塞在第三场后迅速缩短轮换阵容，同时更换了先发名单中的多名球员。主帅更加倚重威廉姆斯、斯托克斯和伯顿组成的核心三人组，成功连赢两场夺回3比2的系列赛赛点，并最终在大通中心捧起总冠军奖杯。

The restructured roster allowed head coach Natalie Nakase, the reigning WNBA Coach of the Year, to make decisive strategic shifts when the team faced adversity in the Finals. After winning Game 1, Golden State dropped back-to-back contests by double digits to fall behind Atlanta 2-1. Following Game 3, Nakase shortened her rotation and swapped out multiple starters, leaning heavily on the trio of Williams, Stokes, and Burton. The tactical realignment sparked two consecutive victories to retake a 3-2 series edge and laid the groundwork for the title-clinching Game 7 triumph at Chase Center.

在主帅卡尔·斯梅斯科执教下，亚特兰大梦想队连续两个赛季取得30胜，并在防守端位居联盟前列。随着总决赛抢七战落幕，梦想队管理层将转向休赛期运作。球队核心阵容框架基本保持稳定，阿丽莎·格雷（3年370万美元）、莱恩·霍华德（3年337.5万美元）、布里安娜·琼斯（3年307.5万美元）以及2025年最佳第六人纳兹·希尔蒙（3年255万美元）的合同均延续至2028赛季，后卫乔丁·加拿大则在2027赛季结束后成为自由球员。

Under head coach Karl Smesko, the Atlanta Dream produced consecutive 30-win campaigns and anchored one of the league's stingiest defenses before falling short in Game 7 of the WNBA Finals. Transitioning into the offseason, Atlanta retains the core of its roster on long-term commitments. Allisha Gray signed a three-year, $3.7 million contract, while Rhyne Howard is locked in on a three-year, $3.375 million pact. Forward Brionna Jones, who signed a three-year, $3.075 million deal, and 2025 Sixth Player of the Year Naz Hillmon (three years, $2.55 million) are likewise under contract through the 2028 season, while guard Jordin Canada is signed through 2027.

前锋安吉尔·里斯刚刚结束职业生涯第三个赛季，新秀合同将在2027赛季到期。由于里斯入选2026年WNBA最佳阵容二阵，她已触发联盟新设立的新秀合同优异表现条款（EPIC），有资格在第四年争取一份顶薪合同。此外，8月买断后加盟的17年球龄老将德万娜·邦纳在季后赛出战10场，39岁的她尚未明确表态是否退役，将在赛季结束后评估身体和竞技状态后再做决定。

Forward Angel Reese concluded her third professional season with her rookie contract running through 2027, slated to earn $396,282 next season according to Spotrac. Because Reese earned a spot on the 2026 All-WNBA Second Team, she has become eligible for a maximum salary extension in her fourth year under the league's new Exceptional Performance on Initial Contract (EPIC) provision. Meanwhile, 39-year-old veteran forward DeWanna Bonner, who joined Atlanta in August after a contract buyout and appeared in 10 playoff contests, has not committed to playing next year, stating she will make a final decision on possible retirement after assessing her health and mindset.
