We're only 18 days away from the start of this unprecedented season.

距離這個史無前例的賽季開始只有18天了。

In just the last 17 days, we've had a draft, an entire free agency period and started training camp just this week to former franchise point guards were traded for each other in Russ and John Wall while their teams were already in camp.

在過去的17天裡，我們已經有了一個選秀，整個自由市場時期，並開始訓練營就在本週到前特許經營的得分後衛在拉斯和約翰-沃爾的交易對方，而他們的球隊已經在營地。

This is all part of a sprint during this pandemic toe have a workable, if shortened, NBA season.

這都是在這個大流行期間衝刺的一部分，以有一個可行的，如果縮短，NBA賽季。

Now this schedule release show will include just games from now until the All Star break in early March.

現在這個賽程發佈節目將只包括從現在開始到3月初全明星賽前的比賽。

Have you ever seen a major American sports league only put half a schedule out before?

你見過美國大型體育聯盟只放出一半的賽程嗎？

Yeah, me neither.

是啊，我也不知道。

But the league wants to maintain flexibility in case of covert related delays and postponements.

但聯盟希望保持靈活性，以應對隱蔽相關的延誤和延後。

The goal is a 72 game season that ends May 17th, then a play in tournament and a playoffs that can end in July.

目標是5月17日結束的72場比賽，然後參加錦標賽和季後賽，可以在7月結束。

Now, in order to cut down travel there, significantly more back to backs between teams, home and homes, or just home and home and home and homes.

現在，為了減少那裡的旅行，大大增加了球隊之間的背靠背，主場和主場，或者只是主場和主場之間的背靠背。

Here's an example.

這裡有一個例子。

In January alone, the Sixers will play consecutive games against the same opponent at the same location four times.

僅在1月份，六人隊就將連續4次在同一地點與同一對手進行比賽。

So hosting the Hornets, then the Heat, the Celtics then going over Detroit to play two games in three days there.

所以主場迎戰黃蜂，然後是熱火，凱爾特人，然後再去底特律那邊，三天內在那裡打兩場比賽。

So, yeah, we are 18 days away, Unprecedented season in unprecedented time.

所以，是的，我們還有18天，史無前例的賽季，在史無前例的時間。

And before we get to more of the marquee games, Matt as a player, how do you change how you prepare for a season that is going to look like this?

而在我們進入更多的關鍵比賽之前，馬特作為一名球員，你如何改變你準備一個賽季的方式，將是這樣的？

I think it's just different for each player.

我想這只是每個玩家的不同情況。

Obviously, Braun has had about two months off, so I think he'll slowly but surely start revving his engine, even starting in training camp.

顯然，布勞恩已經休息了大約兩個月，所以我認為他將緩慢但肯定地開始旋轉他的引擎，甚至從訓練營開始。

I don't see him participating fully in training camp in the first, obviously will probably play their Christmas game, but kind of pace himself, understanding that's a marathon.

我不認為他能完全參加第一場的訓練營，很明顯可能會打他們的聖誕比賽，但也算是自己的節奏，明白那是一場馬拉松。

But some guys like Trae Young says he hasn't played in nine months.

但有些人比如特雷-楊說他已經九個月沒打球了。

You know, some of these younger guys excited to get back out there at the end of the day.

你知道，一些年輕的傢伙興奮地回到那裡 在一天結束的時候。

I think they understand how special this is.

我想他們明白這是多麼的特別。

If 2020 has taught us anything, it's not to take anything for granted.

如果說2020年教會了我們什麼，那就是不要把任何事情都當成理所當然。

So no matter what the circumstances are back to back games, remember the lockout season Paul.

所以不管什麼情況下都是背靠背的比賽，記得禁賽期的保羅。

We first came out.

我們第一次出來。

We played, what, three games in four nights.

我們在四個晚上打了三場比賽。

It was crazy.

太瘋狂了

So thes.

所以s。

Guys excited to get back out and play.

大夥兒都很興奮能回來玩。

But I expect the superstars to ease their way into the season.

但我期望超級巨星們能輕鬆進入本賽季。

What about you, Paul?

你呢，保羅？

These athletes, NBA players, are the most adaptable athletes in the world.

這些運動員，NBA球員，是世界上適應能力最強的運動員。

I mean, since I've come into the league like Matt said, we've had 23 lockouts, you know, had 50 game seasons.

我的意思是，自從我來到這個聯盟，就像馬特說的，我們已經有23次停擺，你知道，有50場比賽的賽季。

We've started on Christmas.

我們已經開始在聖誕節。

We had a bubble e way just coming off a season that said this was unprecedented.

我們有一個保麗龍e路剛剛結束一個賽季，說這是前所未有的。

Now we're coming to another season.

現在我們又要迎來新的一季了。

The league players, they're ready for anything.

聯盟的球員，他們已經做好了一切準備。

It's about just being ready.

就是要做好準備。

Mentally.

精神上。

We already know they're gonna be in physical shape.

我們已經知道他們的身體狀況會很好。

I mean, they're gonna do something they haven't done before.

我的意思是，他們會做一些他們以前沒有做過的事情。

They're gonna play in the arenas with our fans, play back to back against the same teams in the same arena.

他們要和我們的球迷一起在場館裡比賽，在同一個場館裡背靠背地和同一支球隊比賽。

So there's nothing these NBA players can't do.

所以這些NBA球員沒有什麼做不到的。

I don't put nothing past and they will make the adjustment.

我不放任何東西過去，他們會做出調整。

Is at the end of day there just still playing basketball.

是在最後有隻是還在打籃球。

I mean, considering what's going on in the world.

我的意思是，考慮到世界上正在發生的事情，

These guys were getting to play basketball so they'll be ready.

這些人是要去打籃球的，所以他們會準備好的。

Well, I know you guys are all creature of habit, though.

好吧，我知道你們都是習慣的生物，不過。

You have your game day routines, but those have been disrupted already for any team that participated in the bubble.

你有你的比賽日常規，但這些已經被打亂了，對於任何一支參加保麗龍的球隊來說。

So people are kind of used to throwing it all up in the air, just like the rest of us are.

所以人們都有點習慣於把一切都拋到九霄雲外，就像我們其他人一樣。

With all of our lives, right?

用我們所有的生命，對嗎？

We all had our routines and those went out the window.

我們都有自己的例行公事，但這些都被淘汰了。
