NBA regular-season schedule for 2020-21 to be released in 2 stages,
with play-in tournament May 18-21
NBA例行賽賽程將分為兩階段公佈 季後加賽訂於5/18~21
The NBA announced the structure and format for the 2020-21 season
on Tuesday evening, including how exactly the upcoming schedule
will be released.
NBA於美國時間週二晚間宣布了新賽季的架構，包含賽程將如何公布。
The schedule will be released in two halves -- what the league is
calling the First Half and the Second Half.The schedule for the First Half
of the season, which will run from Dec. 22 to March 4,
will be released around the start of training camp, set for Dec. 1.
賽程將分為兩階段公佈（聯盟稱為上半季以及下半季）。
上半季的賽程，從12/22~3/4，將在大約訓練營開始時公布(12/1)。
The league won't release the schedule for the Second Half until later
in the First Half. That will include the rest of each team's
72 regular-season games that weren't previously scheduled,
as well as any games that were postponed in the First Half
of the season that "can reasonably be added" to the rest of the schedule.
聯盟在上半季尾聲之前將不會公布下半季的賽程。
那將包含各隊例行賽剩餘的27場比賽，
以及上半季被延賽，但可「合理被排入」的賽程。
The All-Star break is set to take place March 5-10, between the two halves.
明星周目前訂於3/5~3/10，在上下半季之間。
The Second Half of the season will run from March 11 to May 16.
The play-in tournament will be held from May 18 to 21
before the playoffs tip off on May 22.
下半季將從3/11~5/16。季後加賽將在5/18~5/21舉行，季後賽5/22開打。
Each NBA team will play the teams within its conference three times for
a total of 42 games,
while playing the teams from the opposing conference twice each (30 games).
各隊將與自己同區隊伍交手各三次，合計42場。
同時與不同區對手交手兩場(30場)。
Within each team's division, the league has already assigned
which opponents will be played twice at home,
and which will be played twice on the road.
同組的球隊的部分，聯盟已經安排好哪些會有兩場主場，哪些有兩場客場。
Each division within a conference will then play all five teams from another
intraconference division twice at home,
and all five teams from the remaining division twice on the road.
各隊將在與同區不同組的隊伍中的其中一組獲得兩場主場，
另外一組則只會有一場。
The league said its board of governors unanimously approved the
play-in tournament proposal on a one-year basis in a vote earlier Thursday.
The teams with the seventh- and eighth-highest winning percentages
will have two chances to make the playoffs,
while the teams with the ninth- and 10th-highest winning percentages
will have one chance.
聯盟指出董事會在只有今年的前提下全體同意了季後加賽。
例行賽分區七八名的球隊會有兩次機會晉級季後賽，
九十名的球隊會有一次機會。
The "Seven-Eight Game" will be between the teams ranked seventh and eighth,
while the "Nine-Ten Game" will feature the teams ranked ninth and 10th.
The winner of the Seven-Eight Game will advance to the playoffs.
The loser will host the winner of the Nine-Ten Game,
as had been previously reported.
如先前報導提過的，
「七八賽」將由七八名對打，「九十賽」由九十名對打。
「七八賽」的勝者將晉級季後賽。
輸者將在主場迎戰「九十賽」的勝隊。
The NBA Finals are set to run through July 22.
With the Summer Olympics set to begin July 23 -- and the qualifying
tournaments for the remaining four spots in the men's field
scheduled to run from June 29 to July 4 -- that almost certainly
eliminates a number of players from considering
participating in the Olympic Games.
NBA總冠軍賽預計最晚打到7/22
奧運預計從7/23開始
同時攸關剩餘四席的參賽資格的資格賽賽程預計為6/29~7/4
因此幾乎等同於有一部分球員將無法參與奧運。
