NBA’s reported goal next season: 82 games, in market, with fewer fans,
reduced travel
據報導 聯盟下季目標: 82場比賽，在地打，減少觀眾數以及旅行

The NBA bubble looks like a one-hit-wonder.
看起來聯盟這次的閉門復賽只會是僅此一次。

While the NBA’s restart bubble in Orlando has worked and allowed games to
take place, it’s not how the league wants to move forward. When the NBA
returns next season — which is not happening before Christmas, and sources
told NBC Sports is more likely to be in February — the goal is not to do it
in a bubble format.
儘管聯盟這次在奧蘭多閉門復賽似乎有成，讓比賽可以持續，不過這不是聯盟想持續做下去的方式。聯盟下季--不會在聖誕節前開始，消息來源指出更可能會是在明年二月--目標不是要打閉門比賽。

Instead, the hope is to do it in-market, with reduced fans and reduced
travel. To start to get things closer to a typical season.
相反地，他們希望可以在地打，但是會減少觀眾數以及旅行，他們比較想要接近正常球季的樣子。

All that was told to teams through calls with owners on Thursday and GMs on
Friday, reports Shams Charania of The Athletic.
根據The Athletic記者Sham Charania報導，這些消息是在星期四的時候以電話方式通知球團老闆，在星期五時通知球團總管。

Everything is in flux still for the next NBA season, including the salary
cap, which has yet to be set.
所有有關下季的資訊仍在收集中，其中也包括薪資總額，目前還沒有確定。

Already the 2020 NBA Draft has been pushed back to Nov. 18, with the start offree agency delayed as well. While Christmas was mentioned as a potential
start date, there is a strong push from some in ownership to wait until
February or later, allowing a chance for more games with fans in the seats.
Fan attendance accounts for 40% of NBA revenue, Adam Silver has said.
2020的選秀已經被延到11/18，FA交易時間也是延後。儘管有提到聖誕節是可能的開季日，有一些球團老闆努力想把時間延到明年二月甚至更遲，藉此希望有機會可以打有更多有觀眾的比賽。聯盟主席Adam Silver說觀眾入場佔聯盟40%的收入。

There are challenges with the later start. For one, the Tokyo Olympics will
take place next July — with dozens of NBA players expected to compete on the
huge international stage. Would the NBA use an NHL-style Olympics break in
the season? If so, the NBA season could run so late the league struggles to
get back on a preferred schedule for the 2021-22 season.
要更延遲開季會有許多挑戰。第一，東奧會在明年7月--有一些NBA球員預期會在這場子上比賽。NBA聯盟會採用類似像NHL模式有"奧運期"的休息嗎？若是這樣的話，聯盟季賽會打得更久，讓聯盟掙扎的想要採用原本想要的時間表。

Whenever the season tips-off, owners want to play a full 82-game schedule
after taking a financial hit this season due to the coronavirus. And they
want as many fans as they can have in the building for those games.
不管開季會在甚麼時候，在本季因為武漢肺炎導致財務重創後，球團老闆想要打滿82場比賽，而且他們想要進可能的讓球迷進場看比賽。

Team general managers have noted an uptick in the quality of play in the
bubble and think the reduced travel has something to do with it. They have
discussed the idea of a homestand schedule — teams would stay home to play a
team a couple of times in a row, reducing travel — but that creates its own
challenges.
球團總管注意到這次閉門場館打球的品質有上升，他們認為減少舟車勞頓可能跟這上升有關。他們在討論主場賽程--主場球隊可能會在主場跟同一對手球隊連打幾場，好降低旅行時間--不過這也會有挑戰。

None of this is set yet. Adam Silver will be patient, gather as much
information as he can, and not make a decision until he has to. As he has
done throughout this process.
一切都還在未定之天。主席Adamn Silver將會保持耐心，盡可能的蒐集資訊，等到必須做決定的時候再做定奪，就如同這一次他所做的一樣。

沒疫苗前大概都不太可能在地打或有觀眾 隔壁棚沒事今天就又球員確診
還有NBA球員自己違規被趕出泡泡的呢....
