No basket, no problem. Jimmy Butler has basketball hoops sent to Heat
teammates and coaches
没篮球架可以练球？没问题，Jimmy Butler送队友及教练篮球架
Jimmy Butler has made sure his Miami Heat teammates at least have a basket to
work with as team facilities around the NBA are closed indefinitely amid the
NBA’s coronavirus shutdown.
因为中国武汉肺炎导致停赛，联盟球队练习场关闭，但是Jimmy Butler确保他的热火队友
们至少有篮球架可以练球。
With Goran Dragic as the only Heat player who entered the shutdown with a
basket at his home (a portable hoop at his Miami house), according to the
team, Butler and the rest of Miami’s roster were left without the necessary
resources to get shots up.
热火Goran Dragic本来是唯一一位在停赛期间热火球员在自己家里有篮球架的人，Butler
跟其他热火球员在家里是没有需要的设备可练球的。
But Butler decided enough was enough and bought a basketball hoop for himself
to work with at his home in the San Diego area. As first reported by the
Miami Herald, the All-Star wing then had portable baskets sent to each Heat
player and coach to make sure they had one, too, as they wait out the NBA
hiatus.
但是Butler觉得受够了，决定自己买一座篮球架，好让他在他San Diego的家里也可以练
球。而后迈阿密当地报纸Miami Herald报导，这位全明星球员后来帮所有队友以及教练买
了移动式球架，好让他们在停赛期间可以用。
The baskets from Lifetime, a company based in Utah that manufactures various
products, were delivered to Heat players and coaches a few days ago. Even the
players living in condominiums and two-way contract players living in a Miami
hotel received them, with the option to have them then sent to their
offseason homes.
这移动式球架是由一家在犹他州的公司Lifetime所制造，他们有一系列的产品，几天前把
球架送至热火球员以及教练家中。一些住在公寓的球员以及一些住在饭店的双向合约的球
员也有收到，他们可以选择把球架送到他们休赛季所住的家中。
“Two days ago I received a big box, I opened it and it was a basketball hoop
from Jimmy,” Dragic said Sunday in an Instagram Live discussion with Heat
television host Jason Jackson. “My first hoop [that I have] is for kids. So
basically, it was not a real hoop for me. Yesterday [Saturday] I was putting
together all these pieces and finally I made it. I already shot some shots to
take advantage of that. Jimmy, thank you brother. I appreciate it.”
“两天前我收到一个大箱子，我打开了，里面是一座篮球架，是Jimmy送的，”星期天
Dragic在IG上接受热火电视节目主持人Jason Jackson访问时说到。“我第一座原先有的球
架是给小孩用的，所以基本上不是真的篮球架。昨天星期六我把那篮球架组装起来了，我
已经好好用了它一下，投了一些球。Jimmy，谢谢你兄弟，我真的很感谢。”
In addition, Butler will donate a number of the same portable baskets to
schools and youth centers around Miami once children are permitted to return
to those areas after the peak of the pandemic.
此外，Butler也捐了一些同样的移动式球架给迈阿密附近的学校以及青年活动中心，好让
这些小朋友们在中国武汉肺炎疫情和缓下来后回去就可以用。
The baskets should help Heat players avoid getting too rusty, with still no
clear timetable for a potential restart to the 2019-20 season. June is
believed to be the earliest games will resume, but there’s also the
possibility that the season won’t restart and the next NBA game played will
be as part of the 2020-21 season.
目前2019-20赛季还没有明确的时间表说何时可能会重启，所以这些篮球架可以帮助热火球
员身手不至于生疏。据信六月会是最早可能可以重新比赛的时间，但是很有可能本季就没
有办法打，真的到能打球的时候已经会是2020-21球季的时候了。
During a conference call with reporters Friday, NBA commissioner Adam Silver
said the league is “not ready to set a date of how long we can wait before
we can no longer continue the season. Everything is on the table, including
potentially delaying the start of next season. We are not in position to make
any decisions [about the status of this season] and it’s unclear when we
will be. We still don’t have enough information to make a decision.”
在星期五与记者开会时，主席Adam Silver说，目前"联盟还没有准备要设好要等到哪时候
本季就不打的日期，所有的选项都会考虑，包括下一季会延迟开季等。我们还没到要做任
何决定的时候，目前也不清楚会是何时。目前的资讯还不够，没办法做决定。”
The NBA playoffs were scheduled to begin Saturday, with the Heat owning
home-court advantage in a first-round series against the Indiana Pacers based
on the current standings.
这星期六本来会是季后赛开打的时间，若是按照目前战绩，热火会有主场优势，会在季后
赛首轮面对溜马。
