NBA Suspended
NBA停赛

The NBA suspended its season so abruptly on Wednesday due to the coronavirus outbreak that a long-term plan was not yet in place for potentially resuming play when it was safe.
由于新冠病毒的爆发，周三，NBA暂停本赛季全部比赛，目前还没有在安全的情况下恢复比赛的长期规划。

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver appeared on “Inside the NBA” on Thursday and revealed that the league’s current suspension would last at least 30 days.
星期四，NBA总裁亚当·肖华现身节目Inside the NBA，并透露联盟目前的停赛将持续至少30天。

Theoretically, a 30-day suspension with an immediate return means the season would resume on Saturday, April 11. On the initial schedule, the regular season was set to end on April 15. The league then would have taken two days off before opening the playoffs on Saturday, April 18.
从理论上讲，停赛30天并立即恢复比赛则意味着本赛季将于4月11日星期六恢复。按照最初的时间表，常规赛定于4月15日结束。之后联盟将休假两天，于4月18日星期六开始NBA季后赛。

There is no telling what a resumed season might look like if the NBA were to pick things back up in 30 days. The simplest possibility would be to just pick up the regular season where it left off.
如果NBA要在30天以后恢复比赛，到时候很难预料赛季的走向。最简单的方法可能是从停摆的常规赛开始。

The NBA could then push the schedule back fully by one month, using the crisis as an opportunity to test how well its games would perform financially later in the summer.
之后，NBA可以以此次危机为契机，预测其在之后的夏季比赛的财务状况，从而将比赛时间完全推迟一个月。

The other possibilities would include a truncated and reorganized regular season or simply ending the regular season entirely and immediately jumping to the playoffs.
其他可能的解决方法还包括截断并重组常规赛，或完全结束常规赛，立即进入季后赛。
