When you look back on how the MBA has weathered such a trying time for the whole country, what do you think of over this past year?

當你回顧MBA是如何在全國上下度過這樣一個艱難的時期，在過去的一年裡，你有什麼感想？

E think of enormous sacrifice on the part of so many, Um, and you know, of course, I'll begin with what we always refer to as the MBA family, first and foremost, the players, the coaches, the officials, the team staff.

想到這麼多人做出的巨大犧牲，嗯，你知道，當然，我先說說我們常說的MBA大家庭，首先是球員，教練，官員，團隊工作人員。

I mean, those people who I mean, who lived in the bubble as you were down there for a long period of time.

我的意思是，那些人我的意思是，誰住在保麗龍中，因為你在那裡很長一段時間。

I mean, for the Lakers ultimately won the championship.

我的意思是，對於湖人隊最終贏得總冠軍。

I understand, of course, LeBron's reaction, having spent three full months in the bubble into his credit.

當然，我理解勒布朗的反應，他花了整整三個月的時間，在保麗龍中進入他的信用。

You know, I was down there for for a portion of it as well, never complained.

你知道，我也有一部分時間在下面，從來沒有抱怨過。

Their team never complained, and and there were very few complaints at the end of day because the guys understood this is what it took to work and I think, and then we got through that.

他們的團隊從來沒有抱怨，而且和有很少的抱怨在一天結束的時候，因為球員們明白這是什麼工作，我想，然後我們得到了通過。

Then we collectively made a decision with the Players Association that there was no way that this community could live in a bubble over eight months or so.

然後我們和玩家協會集體做了一個決定，這個社會不可能在八個多月的時間裡生活在保麗龍中。

Way Way decided that we would play in home arenas.

方式決定，我們將在主場比賽。

Extent, we could, um, you know, you know, dealing with local health officials.

程度，我們可以，嗯，你知道，你知道，處理當地衛生官員。

We now have 10 10 arenas or so that allow limited numbers of fans.

我們現在有10個10個左右的場館，允許粉絲數量有限。

But there was also a recognition that even if we could play in home arenas that we were gonna have toe create a protocol that referred to essentially his work quarantine, meaning You go to work and you go home, you go to work and you go home.

但我們也認識到，即使我們可以在主場比賽，我們也必須制定一個協議，基本上是指他的工作隔離，意思是你上班，你回家，你上班，你回家。

And that's very tough on everybody involved.

這對每個人來說都是非常艱難的。

And so you know, again that there's been constant sacrifices throughout.

所以你知道，又是一直在不斷的犧牲。

But at the same time, you know, we, the league office, working with the Players Association and directly with the players, are always trying to balance thes health and safety issues against economic issues and call.

但同時，你知道，我們，聯盟辦公室，與球員協會合作，直接與球員合作，總是試圖平衡健康和安全問題與經濟問題，並呼籲。

Call them lifestyle issues, and part of the lifestyle issue is the isolation that comes, of course, from the worst case scenario is being in a bubble.

稱它們為生活方式問題，生活方式問題的一部分是孤立，當然，最壞的情況是在保麗龍中。

But even there's a fair amount of isolation for this so called work quarantine protocol.

但即使是這種所謂的工作檢疫協議，也有相當多的隔離。

A lot of our young players don't have families.

我們很多年輕球員都沒有家庭。

They're living alone.

他們獨自生活。

Some players who are playing in cities where their families don't live made decisions not to relocate their families because this was best for everyone, for whatever reason.

有些玩家在家人不居住的城市玩耍時，不管出於什麼原因，都做出了不遷移家人的決定，因為這樣對大家都好。

So there's a fair amount of isolation and it's not lost on me.

所以，有相當多的孤立無援，我也不例外。

I mean, you look at the national statistics among young people, you know, in terms of how people have been impacted by the pandemic.

我的意思是，你看看全國的統計數字 在年輕人中，你知道， 在人們如何被影響的流行病。

It seems like the mental health issues are worse among the young cohort, 18 to 24 year olds, or so you know, people and young people in their twenties, which of course, comprise a large portion of our league.

似乎心理健康問題在年輕群體中更嚴重，18至24歲，或者你知道，人們和20多歲的年輕人，當然，這佔了我們聯盟的很大一部分。

There's all these issues that we're trying to factor, and so you know, at the end of that, it's him also enormously proud of this community and from you know, the governors of the teams on down, it's been enormous, you know, group effort.

有所有的這些問題，我們正在努力的因素， 所以你知道，在結束的時候，這是他也非常自豪的這個社區， 從你知道，各隊的州長下來，這是巨大的，你知道，團體的努力。

At the same time, teams air competing toe win and and that's one of things also, that I feel really good about Because, as you'll recall another one of the criticisms of continuing the season last year, restarting it was that it was gonna be a so called Asterix season.

同時，隊伍在競爭中取勝 這也是我感覺很好的地方之一 因為，你會記得去年對繼續這個賽季的另一個責備，重新開始它是要成為一個所謂的Asterix賽季。

And once we got through the bubble and had complete, you know, four around seven game Siri's in the playoffs into the finals.

而一旦我們度過了保麗龍期，有了完整的，你知道，四場左右七場比賽的爵士在季後賽進入總決賽。

I haven't heard a single person suggested, you know, my joke was the Lakers should gotten two trophies.

我沒有聽到一個人建議，你知道，我的笑話是湖人應該得到兩座獎盃。

Absolutely well.

絕對的好。

This league has remained a joy to cover Adam all these years.

這麼多年來，這個聯盟一直保持著覆蓋亞當的快樂。
