After doing a trial run of a play-in tournament to determine the eighth seed
in both conferences last season down in the Orlando bubble, the NBA may be
looking to adopt the format permanently. Entering this season, the league and
players approved the play-in tournament which would involve the teams ranked
seventh through 10th in both conferences to determine the seventh and eighth
seeds in the East and the West.
上个赛季在奥兰多的泡泡赛区内,试行了定夺东区联盟之第八种子及西区联盟之第八种子
的附加赛之后,NBA 联盟正打算永久施行这项制度。来到本赛季,在联盟与球员达成共识
的情况下,涉及东区联盟的第七至第十名以及西区联盟的球队将以附加赛的形式,定夺各
区的第七种子和第八种子。
Although we're still weeks away from the actual play-in tournament, it's clear
the purpose of the new format
