You know, it's one thing to say.

你知道，這是一回事。

So how about starting next season on December 22nd?

那麼下個賽季從12月22日開始怎麼樣？

It's another thing to actually make that work.

真正做到這一點是另一回事。

And with this Friday is the deadline for the league and union to come to an agreement on so much of this.

而隨著本週五是聯盟和工會達成協議的最後期限，所以很多事情。

The next three days are going to be full of ups and downs, loop the loops and all the rest.

接下來的三天，將充滿了起伏，環環相扣，萬象更新。

Like, how's this for twist?

就像，這怎麼是扭曲？

Yesterday, we got Danny Green on the ringer MBA show, proclaiming that if the league really does start next season 10 weeks after the MBA finals, he doesn't expect LeBron James or several of the other Lakers vets to show up for the first month.

昨天，我們請到了丹尼-格林做客響噹噹的MBA節目，他宣稱，如果下賽季聯盟真的在MBA總決賽後10周開始，他不指望勒布朗-詹姆斯或者其他幾位湖人隊的老將能在第一個月出現。

I totally get where Danny is coming from.

我完全明白丹尼的意思

On this.

關於這一點：

I also have to say, if the MBA is handing out championship brings the night of December 22nd, I would expect LeBron James will not only be accepting his ring, but we'll be playing in that game.

我也不得不說，如果MBA在12月22日晚上發放總冠軍帶來，我希望勒布朗-詹姆斯不僅會接受他的戒指，而且我們會參加那場比賽。

And personally, I really like the overall idea of such a quick turnaround all last month, when MBA owners kept indicating they wanted to wait to start until they were allowed to have a meaningful amount of ticket buying fans in the stands.

而我個人非常喜歡這樣的整體思路，在上個月，MBA老闆一直表示要等到允許看臺上有一定數量的購票球迷時，才會有這樣快速的轉機。

I kept saying on this show that well, I want a pony but that wasn't happening anytime soon either.

我在這個節目裡一直說，好吧，我想有一匹小馬，但也不是很快就能實現的。

And at some point it becomes dangerous to the health of the sport, to just keep waiting and waiting for medical advancements that could be six months away or more.

而在某些時候，這對這項運動的健康來說是很危險的，只是一直在等待，等待醫學上的進步，而這些進步可能是6個月或者更久。

By the way, after I said that several of you out there actually offered me a pony, which is sort of missing the point, but also delightful.

對了，我說了之後，外面有好幾個人居然給我提供了一匹小馬，這算是失言了，但也很高興。

So thank you Anyway, I think it is great that owners seem to have come to terms with the fact that, like so many of us, they are just going to have to adjust their expectations.

所以，謝謝你無論如何，我認為這是偉大的，業主似乎已經接受了這個事實，就像我們很多人一樣，他們只是要調整他們的期望。

For this year, there will be less money to go around.

因為今年，錢會少一些。

The work conditions won't be ideal At some point.

在某些時候，工作條件不會很理想。

You just dig in and do it.

你只要挖空心思去做就可以了。

Avoiding your finals running into the Olympics is smart.

避免你的期末考試跑到奧運會上是明智的。

Avoiding your finals running into football season is smart.

避免你的期末考試跑到足球賽季是明智的。

Preserving Christmas as the MBA's Day is smart, not just generally in the long term, but specifically this season, when starting in late December will reportedly prevent the league from losing additional hundreds of millions in revenue.

保留聖誕節作為MBA的節日是明智的，不僅是一般的長期，特別是本賽季，據報道，從12月下旬開始，將防止聯盟額外損失數億收入。

Plus, you get the fun music for more of two thirds of the league's teams, the ones that didn't go deep in the playoffs.

另外，你還可以得到聯盟三分之二以上球隊的趣味音樂，那些沒有深入季後賽的球隊。

It won't even be that short of an off season.

甚至不會有那麼短的一個淡季。

Of course, just because something is a good overall idea doesn't mean it isn't going to be super complicated.

當然，一件事情的整體思路很好，並不代表它不會超級複雜。

There is the negotiation with the players, who are likely going to be asked to put up to 40% of their salaries in escrow to balance out the projected loss of revenue.

還有就是和球員們的談判，他們很可能會被要求把最多40%的工資託管起來，以平衡預計的收入損失。

There is figuring out how many games this season would be.

有弄清楚這個賽季會有多少場比賽。

72 is a popular number right now, but could that change?

72是現在流行的數字，但這種情況可能會改變嗎？

And how is the league going to handle Positive Cove?

而聯盟將如何處理正庫？

It test if it plays outside a bubble.

它測試它是否在保麗龍外玩。

We've seen non bubble leagues like the NFL already have to reschedule games, and that's with the benefit of six days between games and properly testing and containing outbreaks.

我們已經看到像NFL這樣的非保麗龍聯賽已經不得不重新安排比賽，而這是在比賽之間有6天的好處，並適當測試和控制爆發。

The MBA would be attempting several games a week with players who sweat and breathe all over each other, not in a giant open air stadium, but in a closed arena.

MBA將嘗試每週進行幾場比賽，球員們滿頭大汗，互相呼吸，不是在一個巨大的露天體育場，而是在一個封閉的場館。

And what about the States where the local government does allow, say, even just 500 fans in the building are Player is gonna be okay with breathing all of their air to.

而美國呢，當地政府確實允許，比如說，哪怕只有500個球迷在樓裡，都是Player要呼吸他們所有的空氣，以。

There's also the issue of the calendar leading into the December start.

還有一個問題，就是進入12月開始的日曆。

Right now, the N B A draft isn't scheduled until November 18th and free agency not until after that.

現在，N B A選秀要到11月18日才安排，而自由市場要在那之後才有。

If training camps start December 1st, it is hard to make the math work on the time needed for players coming from far away to quarantine.

如果訓練營在12月1日開始，那麼遠道而來的球員需要的檢疫時間就很難算得清了。

And if a team does have a run of cove, it ripped through the building.

而如果一支球隊真的有跑穴，那就撕破臉皮了。

There's no pad built into training camp for players to get back onto the court and any kind of game shape, not to mention the threat of actual serious illness.

訓練營中沒有內置墊子，讓球員回到球場上，也沒有任何比賽狀態，更沒有實際重病的威脅。

It's a lot, so leave your sunglasses and hats at the turnstile, buckle up and get ready for quite a ride.

這是一個很大的，所以把你的太陽鏡和帽子留在轉門處，繫好安全帶，準備好迎接相當大的旅程。

All right, Matt.

好吧，馬特。

So how do you think players like LeBron say, as Danny Green pointed out, will handle the shortened offseason?

那麼，你認為像勒布朗這樣的球員，如丹尼-格林指出的那樣，將如何處理縮短的休賽期？

If training camps really are back on December 1st?

如果訓練營真的在12月1日恢復？

I don't think they'll like it.

我不認為他們會喜歡它。

I think it's too fast and I'm not looking at dollar signs or revenue for owners.

我覺得太快了，我看中的不是美元牌子，也不是業主的收入。

Don't think I'm looking at players, and not only was last year a unique situation, physically, emotionally, but it was mentally draining.

不要以為我在看球員，去年不僅情況特殊，身體上、情緒上，而且精神上也很疲憊。

You know what I mean?

你知道我的意思嗎？

And people don't take that into account too often when you think about athletes, those guys were mentally exhausted along with physically exhausted.

而當你想到運動員的時候，人們往往不會考慮到這一點，那些人在精神上疲憊的同時，身體上也很疲憊。

So I think to start this fast after the season just ended.

所以我覺得在賽季剛結束後就開始這麼快。

It is a bad move.

這是一個糟糕的舉動。

I understand you wanna, you know, ratings might be down.

我知道你想，你知道，收視率可能會下降。

You wanna capture that Christmas Day game?

你想抓住聖誕節的遊戲嗎？

But to me, it's more about having your star players ready to play for the long haul.

但對我來說，更多的是讓你的明星球員做好長期作戰的準備。

And I think if you start too early, you're gonna risk injury with a lot of these guys that had to make a long run into the playoffs.

我認為如果你太早開始，你會冒著受傷的風險，這些人中有很多人必須在季後賽中進行長時間的比賽。

Yet when money faces off against purity of the game, money wins and money is going to win this to LeBron and Anthony Davis.

然而當金錢面對遊戲的純潔性時，金錢贏了，金錢要贏這對勒布朗和安東尼-戴維斯。

They're going to show up on Christmas or December 22nd.

他們會在聖誕節或12月22日出現。

Whether they play or not is the question, and I do think there will be some load management.

他們玩不玩是個問題，我覺得會有一些負荷管理。

There'll be some easing into the season.

季節會有一些緩和。

There will be some straight up ugly basketball for the first two months of the season and forget about it.

本賽季前兩個月會有一些直接醜陋的籃球比賽，然後忘掉它。

And that's even leaving aside all the complications with the virus that Rachel you talked about in the monologue and the schedule and all of that.

這還沒算上瑞秋你在獨白中說到的病毒併發症，還有日程安排等等。

But look, I mean, some players haven't played already in seven months.

但你看，我的意思是，有些球員已經七個月沒打球了。

Some of those guys air probably in great shape.

有些人的氣質可能很好。

Keep doing what you're doing.

繼續做你正在做的事。

Some of those guys, maybe they got out of shape.

有些人，可能是身材走樣了。

They gotta start ramping up.

他們得開始加快速度。

It's gonna be different for each player.

每個玩家的情況都會不同。

It stinks for the teams who won the championship, you got to the finals in the bubble.

奪冠的球隊真臭，你是在保麗龍中進入總決賽的。

It is a quick turn around, and everyone's just gonna have to deal with it because money is going to win this argument.

轉瞬即逝，大家也只能應付了，因為錢會贏得這場爭論。

That's the bottom line.

這是底線。

Well, thing to remember to is it's not all players.

好吧，要記住的是，這不是所有的球員。

And look, the bottom eight teams in the league.

再看看，聯盟倒數第一的八支球隊。

Matt were asked to sacrifice right.

馬特被要求犧牲權利。

They did a bubble without them, and those eight teams were told Hey, sorry about this.

他們在沒有他們的情況下做了一個泡泡，那八支隊伍被告知嘿，對不起。

You're just not gonna play for maybe up to even a year now.

你只是不打算玩了，也許到現在甚至一年了。

It's not gonna turn out that long, but still, we're leaving you out for health.

雖然不會變成那麼長，但是為了健康，我們還是要把你留下來。

and safety reasons.

和安全原因。

And this is gonna go on without you.

沒有你，這一切都會繼續下去。

Well, now it's the top eight teams that are basically gonna be asked to sacrifice, and that's the most likely you're going to see a majority, those top 18 back in the playoffs.

好吧，現在是前八名的球隊，基本上都會被要求犧牲，這也是你最有可能看到的大多數，那些前18名回到季後賽的球隊。

I think the only teams that got left out, they're gonna be in the mix.

我認為唯一被排除在外的球隊，他們會在混合。

Sure, if they are Golden State in Brooklyn.

當然，如果他們是布魯克林的金州。

But outside of that to me, I like I said, I think you want to err on the side of caution when it comes to this, and I understand what Zaka saying.

但在這之外，對我來說，我就像我說的，我認為你在這件事上要謹慎行事，我理解扎卡的意思。

I mean, money rules the world not only in sports, but just the world in general, so money probably will possibly win.

我的意思是，金錢不僅是體育界的主宰，也是整個世界的主宰，所以金錢大概有可能會贏。

But I agree.

但我同意。

If they do come back before the turn of the year, it's gonna be a lot of management.

如果他們真的在轉年之前回來，那就會有很多管理。

They possibly could play on the opening night because it's so much energy emotion.

他們可能會在開幕式的晚上演出，因為它的能量情感太大。

But then you and then we're gonna start complaining about the load management, starting with some of these guys that had to make these runs.

但是你，然後我們就會開始抱怨負載管理，從一些不得不進行這些運行的傢伙開始。

So it's a tough situation, you know?

所以這是一個艱難的局面，你知道嗎？

I wish them the best of luck trying to figure it out Yeah, and that is gonna be tough if we get into January.

我祝他們好運，想辦法解決這個問題 是啊，如果到了一月份，那就很難了。

And the Tuesday game is two teams playing without stars, and it's not gonna look quite how it looks in the bubble, Right?

週二的比賽是兩支沒有球星的球隊在打，而且它不會看起來如何它看起來在保麗龍，對不對？

Unless every arena builds those huge video boards, no matter how dramatic you make the lighting, you're gonna see empty seats.

除非每個場館都建了那些巨大的視頻板，無論你把燈光做得多麼戲劇化，你都會看到空座位。

You're going to see some of the stuff we've seen any other sports that make it just feel kind of more directly G than really officials.

你會看到一些我們看到的任何其他體育項目的東西，讓它只是感覺種更直接的G比真的官員。

So they're gonna have to work out.

所以，他們要去必須工作了。

Ah, lot.

啊，飛行。
