Adam Silver: NBA Rule Changes Having Intended Effect of Increasing Scoring
Adam Silver表示: 聯盟規則改變，達到預期分數增加的效果

The NBA's new rule changes this season, which were implemented to cut down on
the amount of contact defensive players can make, have led to a major influx
of scoring.
本季NBA聯盟改變了一些規則，目的是要減少防守球員可以做的碰觸的量，這導致了比賽分
數驟升。

But NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said the new rules are being enforced as
planned.
但是聯盟主席Adam Silver說這新規則會依照計畫繼續執行。

"We had a call with our competition committee last week, which is made up of
coaches, GMs, owners, players, officials to discuss just that," he said
during a press conference Thursday evening, per ESPN.com. "And the consensus,
or the strong feeling from the group was that the rule changes were happening
as we intended."
「我們上星期有召開競賽委員會，有教練，總管，球團老闆，球員，以及裁判人員討論那
個部分，」他在星期四的記者會說到。「大家的共識，或者說大多數的人覺得，這規則的
改變就如我們想要的發生了。」

Silver added that one of the aspects of the rule changes being closely
monitored was consistency.
Silver更說，這規則的改變會持續監測，以確保一致性。

"The question that seems to be coming back from some of the coaches and
players is in essence is how much physicality will be allowed on defense," he
said. "Everybody's feeling their way through this a little bit. What we're
hearing is the teams will adjust to wherever we end up, they just want to
make sure there is consistency across the league."
「一些疑問來自於教練及球員主要是關於到底在防守的時候可以有多少的肢體碰觸，」他
說。「每個球員都在用他們自己的方式感覺規則到底允許到如何，我們從球隊方面聽到的
是他們會調整到規則所允許的程度，他們只是要確定整個聯盟的標準會一致。」

Those changes haven't been popular across the board.
這樣的改變並不是所有人都很喜歡。

"Defense isn't really an emphasis anymore in this league," Draymond Green
told reporters on Oct. 21, per Nick Friedell of ESPN.com. "So I think you're
seeing it all around the league with these high scores. We know what the
emphasis is."
「防守在現在聯盟裡面不再被強調了，」嘴綠在10/21號跟記者說到。「所以我認為，看看
現在聯盟裡那些高比數的比賽，這樣大家就知道現在聯盟強調的是甚麼了。」

LeBron James, at the very least, believes playing defense has simply become
more difficult.
LBJ認為，在最低的程度，這會讓防守變得更困難了。

"It's challenging, that's for sure," he said, per Justin Verrier of The
Ringer. "You've got so many powerful offensive teams that you're not going to
have many possessions that you can be behind because most teams in our league
are going to make you pay."
「可以確定的是，防守會很有挑戰性，」LBJ說。「聯盟裡現在有那麼多很強的攻擊能力的
隊伍，球權不會有太多，然後比數就會落後，因為這些隊伍會讓你付出代價。」

Coming into Thursday night, NBA teams were averaging 112.3 points per game,
which would be the highest average for a season since the 1970-71 season, per
ESPN.com.
根據ESPN統計，直到星期四晚上，平均每場是112.3分，這是自從1970-71球季後以來最高
的場均分。

Of course, the NBA in general is trending toward a more offensive game, with
teams adapting the strategy of spacing the floor and shooting a flurry of
threes, popularized by the Golden State Warriors. Teams also play at a faster
pace, taking shots early in the shot clock and pushing the rock in transition.
當然，聯盟現在的走向就是往更多的攻擊方面走，球隊採用的策略就是拉開距離，然後灑
下滿天飛的三分球，這改變是從勇士隊開始帶起的。球隊也加快了比賽節奏，更早出手，
在攻守轉換時加快傳球。

Add in the increased pace and spacing with the rule changes, and it's hardly
surprising the league is trending toward a more offensively charged game.
加快打球步調以及規則的改變，看到聯盟走向強調進攻風的比賽也就不會太驚訝了。
