LBJ稱聯盟是自打臉，阿銀：尊重詹姆斯的觀點
James was vocal about his displeasure when the NBA announced plans to hold a
n exhibition during the near-weeklong break before the start of the season's
second half.?
當NBA宣布計劃在剩餘的半季開始前的近一周的休息期間舉辦明星賽時，詹姆斯直言不諱
的表達了他的不滿。
"I have zero energy and zero excitement about an All-Star Game this year," J
ames told reporters last month. "I don't even understand why we're having an
All-Star Game.
對於今年的全明星賽，我沒有任何精力和興奮。詹姆斯上個月告訴記者。我甚至不明白
為什麼我們要有一場全明星賽。
Some of James' frustration stemmed from the short offseason for the Lakers,
who only had 71 days off from their victory over the Miami Heat in Game 6 of
the NBA Finals to the start of the regular season on Dec. 22.
詹姆斯會有這樣的反應是來自於湖人短暫的休賽期，從總決賽第六場戰勝邁阿密熱火到
12月22日例行賽開始，湖人只有71天的休息時間。
When the NBA initially decided this season would start in December, it didn'
t have plans for any All-Star festivities. The league announced on Feb. 18 p
lans for a single-day All-Star event in Atlanta that will include the Skills
Challenge and Three-Point Contest before the All-Star Game. The Slam Dunk C
ontest will take place at halftime.
當NBA最初決定本賽季將在12月開始時，聯盟並沒有任何舉辦全明星的計劃。 2月18日，
聯盟宣布計劃在亞特蘭大舉辦為期一天的全明星賽，其中包括全明星賽前的技術挑戰賽
和三分球賽。 灌籃大賽將在中場休息時舉行
Silver said he did not take offense to Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James
calling it a “slap in the face” for the NBA to hold an All-Star game durin
g a compressed 72-game season just two months after the 2019-20 season ended
on a quarantined site.
聯盟原本表示在短暫休賽季後，不會在接下來的縮水賽季裡舉辦全明星賽，詹姆斯稱聯
盟如今就像是“自打臉一樣”。對此阿銀表示尊重詹姆斯的觀點。
“It would be incredibly hypocritical of me to tell LeBron you should speak
out on issues that are important to you, but not ones when you are critical
of the league,” Silver said. “We’re all part of a community.
阿銀：如果我告訴詹姆斯你應該在對你來說很重要的議題上直言，而不是在你批評聯盟
的時候暢所欲言，這將是非常虛偽的，我們都是聯盟的一部分。
I respect him and his point of view. But at the same time, I also appreciate
his professionalism.
我尊重他和他的觀點。 但同時，我也很欣賞他的職業精神。
