Here we go, Starting with the NBA on ABC Slate On April 4th, it's Lakers Clippers in a potential Western Conference Finals preview right here in L.

我們開始吧，從4月4日ABC板塊的NBA開始，湖人隊和快船隊將在L市進行西部決賽的預演。

A.

A.

And then on April 10th, it's gonna be Lakers at Nets.

然後在4月10日，會是湖人隊對籃網隊。

We all want to see that one.

我們都想看那個。

Nets won the first matchup earlier this season, but remember no Anthony Davis or Kevin Durant, so hopefully both teams will be at full strength by then.

籃網隊在本賽季初的第一場對決中獲勝，但記得沒有安東尼-戴維斯和凱文-杜蘭特，希望屆時兩隊都能全力以赴。

Now, over on April 17th, we have Warriors Celtics Steph Curry averaging 30 this season.

現在，在4月17日那邊，我們看到勇士凱爾特人隊的斯蒂芬-庫裡本賽季場均30。

Can the Celtics dynamic duo of Jalen Brown and Jason Tatum show him down?

凱爾特人隊的杰倫-布朗和傑森-塔圖姆這對動態組合能不能讓他失望？

Tune in and find out for that on April 24th, the Lakers visiting the Dallas Mavericks, LeBron versus Luca in a matchup that is sure to have some playoff implications.

4月24日，湖人隊做客達拉斯小牛隊，勒布朗對陣盧卡，這場比賽肯定會有一定的季後賽意義，請收看並瞭解一下。

So, like in for that one.

所以，喜歡在那一個。

And on May 2nd, it's the Nets against the Bucks.

而在5月2日，是籃網隊對陣籃網隊。

You may recall, back on January 18th, these teams played one of the best games of the season, just nonstop, back and forth buckets, so that should be another good one.

你可能還記得，早在1月18日，這兩支球隊就打出了本賽季最好的一場比賽，就是不停地來回扣球，所以這應該又是一場精彩的比賽。

We can take a look at some notable games on the ESPN slate as well.

我們也可以看看ESPN板塊中一些值得關注的比賽。

In the second half March 17th.

在3月17日的下半場。

We have Clippers Mavs in a playoff rematch April 14th.

4月14日的季後賽重賽中，我們有快船隊小牛隊。

We have a net six years matchup.

我們有一個淨6年的比賽。

Teams, of course.

當然，團隊。

Currently atop the Eastern Conference, April 25th, it's Celtics Hornets.

目前在東部賽區，4月25日，是凱爾特人黃蜂隊。

Could this be a Gordon Hayward revenge game?

難道這是一場戈登-海沃德的復仇遊戲？

We also have rematches of both conferences.

我們還有兩屆大會的複賽。

Finals matchup from last season, coming to you in May.

上賽季的總決賽對決，5月為你而來。

All right, At this time, I'd like to welcome in our senior NBA insider, Adrian Word Janowski.

好了，此時此刻，我想歡迎我們的資深NBA內線，阿德里安-沃德-雅諾夫斯基。

Good to have you back on the show.

很高興你能回到節目中來

And Whoa, we've never talked about a regular season schedule that goes well into May, but here we are.

哇，我們從來沒有談論過常規賽的賽程，一直到五月，但我們在這裡。

There have been a lot of postponements in the first half this season as well, with the Spurs being the most recent team to go through it.

本賽季上半程也出現了很多延期的情況，熱刺是最近經歷的球隊。

So what is the league's plan for makeup games in the second half?

那麼，聯盟下半場的補賽計劃是什麼？

Well, the Spurs, Rachel and Memphis, they're gonna play 40 games in the second half, their scheduled to play 40 games.

馬刺隊、瑞秋隊和孟菲斯隊 他們在下半場要打40場比賽 他們計劃打40場比賽。

The Washington Wizards, who also lost a number of games of postponements in the first half, they'll play 38 remember they were able to make up a few of them already because they had their trouble earlier than Memphis and San Antonio.

華盛頓奇才，上半場也輸掉了很多場延後的比賽，他們會打38記得他們能夠補上幾場了，因為他們的麻煩比孟菲斯和聖安東尼奧早。

But as we get into that second half, if there are postponements and if other teams get hit, you know you're looking at the possibility the league won't be able to make up all of those games before the playoffs.

但當我們進入下半場時，如果有延期，如果其他球隊受到打擊，你知道你正在尋找聯盟在季後賽前無法彌補所有這些比賽的可能性。

They don't want to push back the start of the playoffs or the Finals.

他們不想把季後賽和總決賽的開始時間推後。

They want to keep it on schedule.

他們想按計劃進行。

So they're at the mercy in the second half of how Covid hits and how many games they may lose in that window.

所以他們在下半場要看科維德的命中率如何，以及在這個窗口期可能會輸掉多少場比賽。

And look, they've got that looming deadline of the Olympics, right?

你看，他們已經有了奧運會那迫在眉睫的期限，對吧？

They don't want to go up against the Olympic Games.

他們不想和奧運會作對。

They want their players to at least be available for the Olympic Games.

他們希望自己的球員至少可以參加奧運會。

So it is important they try to stay on point from here on out.

所以，他們儘量從現在開始就保持在點上，這一點很重要。

And I mentioned the Spurs before.

而我之前提到的馬刺隊。

They're among the teams that have more than half their games scheduled for the second half, so what do you think they are going to do?

他們屬於下半場比賽安排過半的球隊，你覺得他們會怎麼做？

Do you think that maybe hey, not every team is gonna play 72 games?

你覺得，也許嘿，不是每支球隊都會打72場比賽？

Will we get to that point?

我們會到那一步嗎？

Mhm It's certainly possible, Rachel, and you know, we had that last year when the season stopped.

當然有可能，瑞秋，你知道，去年賽季結束時，我們也有過這種情況。

Some teams have played more than others going into the bubble, you know, and win percentage became the criteria for the postseason.

有些球隊比其他球隊打得更多，進入保麗龍期，你知道，勝率成為季後賽的標準。

I I think for Memphis, uh, as they try to integrate a healthy Jurin Jackson here at some point in the second half, back in without real practice days.

我想對於孟菲斯來說，呃，因為他們試圖在下半場的某個時間點整合一個健康的朱林-傑克遜在這裡，回到沒有真正的練習日。

All of these teams especially, you know, Memphis, San Antonio.

所有這些球隊，尤其是，你知道，孟菲斯，聖安東尼奧。

But really, as you move down, almost no teams are gonna have two days off.

但實際上，當你往下走時，幾乎沒有球隊會有兩天的假期。

You're gonna have your back to backs.

你會有你的背對背。

But you're gonna be playing really every other day and you talk to teams and, you know, certainly the concern about that.

但是，你要去打真的每隔一天，你和球隊談，你知道，當然是擔心這個問題。

But also how travel will change where, you know, in the past, in a schedule that's built out, uh, in a traditional manner, you might go, we're gonna play in Dallas and then we travel to Oklahoma City and you might move around in an orderly way.

但旅行也會發生變化，你知道，在過去，在一個傳統的時間表中，你可能會去，我們要在達拉斯打球，然後我們去俄克拉荷馬城，你可能會有序地移動。

I think what you're seeing in this schedule, their teams bouncing around more geographically and you don't get an extra day off going west to east as you might.

我想你在這個賽程中看到的是，他們的球隊在地理上跳來跳去，你不會像你可能的那樣從西到東多休息一天。

And so the toll that's gonna take certainly on players.

所以對玩家的傷害肯定會很大。

Uh, it's taken a great toll already mentally.

呃，這對精神上已經造成了很大的傷害。

All of the things in place, um, with covid and the restrictions.

所有的東西都到位，嗯，與covid和限制。

And I think there's a lot of concern about overtaxing players as they continue just to grind through games.

而且我認為有很多人擔心玩家過度疲勞，因為他們繼續只是在遊戲中磨合。

Uh, mental impact.

呃，精神衝擊。

This is having and what it's gonna do to the quality of play.

這是有的，會對遊戲品質造成什麼影響。

And I think those are all concerns as the NBA tries to get in as many games as they can hear before the postseason.

而我認為這些都是NBA在季後賽前儘量多進場的顧慮，因為他們可以聽到。

Yeah, and look, I want to sneak in a question to you about All Star, but I will say this.

是啊，聽著，我想偷偷問你一個關於 "全明星 "的問題，但我要說的是。

I really love this second half of the schedule release.

我真的很喜歡這個下半年的時間表發佈。

I know it was made, you know, we had to be this way because of coronavirus, but I think it's given the league.

我知道是這樣做的，你知道，我們不得不這樣，因為冠狀病毒，但我認為它是給聯盟。

When you look over the schedule, it's given them the opportunity to juice some matchups.

當你看完日程表後，就給了他們榨取一些比賽的機會。

You get any sense, watch that this could be something that we do from now on, even in non covid times.

你有什麼感覺，看這可能是我們從現在開始做的事情，甚至在非科維德時代。

It's a good question.

這是個好問題。

I I haven't heard that as a scenario that I follow.

我我沒有聽說過這是我遵循的方案。

I do think one thing that we've seen because of covid that I do think you may see in future schedules are the two game home stands or two game road trips in a city.

我覺得因為科維德的原因，我們看到的一件事，我覺得你可能會在未來的時間表中看到的是一個城市的兩場主場比賽或兩場客場旅行。

It's one thing when you come to New York or L A.

這是一回事，當你來到紐約或洛杉磯。

And there's two teams and you can stay there and play, stay in town for a few days because you can play the Lakers or Clippers or Knicks or Nets.

而且有兩支球隊，你可以呆在那裡打球，在城裡呆幾天，因為你可以打湖人隊、快船隊、尼克斯隊、籃網隊。

But when teams can go in and play two games in a city, have a day off between uh, which is a little more like baseball scheduling.

但當球隊可以在一個城市裡打兩場比賽，有一天的休息時間，呃，這有點像棒球的調度。

I do sense a lot of, um, uh feeling around the league that they'd like to see that continue in the future.

我確實感覺到很多，嗯，呃，聯盟周圍的感覺，他們希望看到未來繼續這樣。

That's a great note.

這是一個偉大的音符。

It's really given us some good grudge matches to something happens in that first game of the two part home span.

這真的給我們帶來了一些好的恩怨情仇，在那兩部分主場的第一場比賽中發生了一些事情。

We don't have to wait months to see what happens.

我們不需要等幾個月就能知道發生了什麼。

These guys get right back on the court a couple nights later.

幾天後，這些傢伙馬上回到球場上。

It's so fun.

太有趣了
