Report: NBA tweaks standings, will clarify roster rules
聯盟微調排名方式以及調整球員名單規則

The NBA continues to fine tune the structure and rules it will follow when
the season resumes July 31 at the Disney World campus in Orlando, Fla.,
including tweaks to the standings and potential roster changes.
隨著7/31將要在佛州迪士尼重新開打的NBA季賽越來越近，聯盟持續微調比賽賽制以及規則。

ESPN reported Saturday that the league will use win percentage -- rather thana measure of games relative to .500 -- to set the order of the standings, a
clarification that is necessary because teams have played a different number
of games thus far.
ESPN在星期六時報導說聯盟可能會用勝率(Win Percentage)而不是用勝差來決定排名，這樣的方式是因為一些隊伍到目前的比賽場數並不相同。

Before the season paused in March, NBA teams had played anywhere from 63 to
67 games. The 22 teams returning in Orlando will each play eight "regular
season" games for seeding, maintaining the disparity in total games and thus
making win percentage the first tiebreaker.
在三月停賽前，聯盟隊伍已經完成的場次從63到67場都有。而即將到奧蘭多打比賽的22支球隊將會各自打8場"正規賽"好決定排名，所以各隊總場次也仍將會有差別，所以這讓當球隊戰績相同時會用勝率來決定。

The Western Conference currently has the Portland Trail Blazers (29-37), New
Orleans Pelicans (28-36) and Sacramento Kings (28-36) at 3 1/2 games behind
the Memphis Grizzlies (32-33) for the eighth and final playoff spot, but the
Blazers' win percentage (.439) gives them a narrow advantage over the
Pelicans and Kings (.438). Similar situations could emerge for seeding in
either conference.
目前西區阿拓(29-37)，鵜鶘(28-36)跟國王(28-36)都落後灰熊(32-33)有三場半勝差，將爭奪第八種子順位進季後。目前阿拓在勝率(0.439)上比鵜鶘跟國王(0.438)有多一點點的優勢，類似的狀況在兩個分區都有。

The league's restart plan features 13 teams from the West and nine from the
East, with the possibility of play-in series for the final playoff spot in
each conference. Memphis (currently eighth in the West) and the Orlando Magic(eighth in the East) must finish at least four games ahead of the ninth-placeteam in their conference to avoid a play-in series.
聯盟重啟賽事將會有13支西區球隊以及9支東區球隊，以及準備搶最後一席種子位的可能加賽。灰熊(目前西區排名第8)以及魔術(目前東區第8)將得要保持至少4場以上的勝差以避免加賽決定最後進季後。

If ties within winning percentage exist, they will be broken by the league's
standard tiebreakers, ESPN reported, starting with head-to-head record from
the regular-season.
ESPN報導，若使用勝率來決定平手時的狀況的話，這將會打破聯盟原本用正規賽雙方戰績來決定的標準方式。

Meanwhile, ESPN also reported Saturday that the NBA is preparing rules for
how teams can add players to their roster in the event of injury or a player
testing positive for COVID-19. Per the report, teams will likely be allowed
to sign as many players as they desire, but only from a particular pool,
primarily players who played in the NBA or G League or were on training camp
contracts this season.
同時，ESPN也報導說聯盟準備好球隊若是在有球員受傷或檢測出有武漢肺炎時可以增加球員進球隊名單時的規則。根據報導，球隊將可能被允許可以隨意增加球員數，但是得要從某些地方找，主要應該是在聯盟內或者發展聯盟或者本季有訓練營合約的球員。

That would rule out any veterans who have gone unsigned all year, such as
guard Jamal Crawford, and any international players. The status of players ontwo-way contracts remains unclear.
這樣的話一些老將若是本季都沒合約的，像是後衛Jamal Crawford以及一些國際球員，就被排除了。至於是雙向合約的球員，目前並不清楚規則會是如何。

According to ESPN, the league and players union must agree collectively on
such regulations, with negotiations expected next week.
根據ESPN報導，聯盟跟球員工會都得要同意這樣的調整，預計下禮拜雙方會協商。

For any player who tests positive for COVID-19, a quarantine period of at
least a week and up to two weeks is expected. All players and staff are
expected to be tested every night at the enclosed campus.
任何球員若檢測為武漢肺炎陽性，預計將會隔離至少一星期到兩星期。所有球員以及工作人員可能會每晚檢測。

A number of other details, including the schedule for the eight "seeding
games," have yet to be determined.
至於其他細節，包括決定第八種子順序的比賽時程，目前尚未決定。
