Adam Silver: NBA Rule Changes Having Intended Effect of Increasing Scoring
Adam Silver表示: 联盟规则改变，达到预期分数增加的效果
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联盟改变了一些规则，目的是要减少防守球员可以做的碰触的量，这导致了比赛分
数骤升。
But NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said the new rules are being enforced as
planned.
但是联盟主席Adam Silver说这新规则会依照计画继续执行。
"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."
“我们上星期有召开竞赛委员会，有教练，总管，球团老板，球员，以及裁判人员讨论那
个部分，”他在星期四的记者会说到。“大家的共识，或者说大多数的人觉得，这规则的
改变就如我们想要的发生了。”
Silver added that one of the aspects of the rule changes being closely
monitored was consistency.
Silver更说，这规则的改变会持续监测，以确保一致性。
"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."
“一些疑问来自于教练及球员主要是关于到底在防守的时候可以有多少的肢体碰触，”他
说。“每个球员都在用他们自己的方式感觉规则到底允许到如何，我们从球队方面听到的
是他们会调整到规则所允许的程度，他们只是要确定整个联盟的标准会一致。”
Those changes haven't been popular across the board.
这样的改变并不是所有人都很喜欢。
"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."
“防守在现在联盟里面不再被强调了，”嘴绿在10/21号跟记者说到。“所以我认为，看看
现在联盟里那些高比数的比赛，这样大家就知道现在联盟强调的是什么了。”
LeBron James, at the very least, believes playing defense has simply become
more difficult.
LBJ认为，在最低的程度，这会让防守变得更困难了。
"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."
“可以确定的是，防守会很有挑战性，”LBJ说。“联盟里现在有那么多很强的攻击能力的
队伍，球权不会有太多，然后比数就会落后，因为这些队伍会让你付出代价。”
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.
根据ESPN统计，直到星期四晚上，平均每场是112.3分，这是自从1970-71球季后以来最高
的场均分。
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.
当然，联盟现在的走向就是往更多的攻击方面走，球队采用的策略就是拉开距离，然后洒
下满天飞的三分球，这改变是从勇士队开始带起的。球队也加快了比赛节奏，更早出手，
在攻守转换时加快传球。
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.
加快打球步调以及规则的改变，看到联盟走向强调进攻风的比赛也就不会太惊讶了。
