Shorter NBA schedule has 42 back-to-back-to-backs

All NBA teams will have to play games for three consecutive nights at least once this season according to the compacted 66-game schedule released by conference authorities Tuesday night, AP reported.

The demanding schedule, to start on Christmas Day, will push teams to shoot more hoops in fewer days than ever before, with trying stretches such as nine games in 12 nights for Atlanta starting Dec. 27.

Teams will play 48 conference games and 18 against the opposing conference.

NBA本賽季充滿“背靠背”

據(jù)美聯(lián)社報(bào)道，美國(guó)職業(yè)籃球協(xié)會(huì)（NBA）官方當(dāng)?shù)貢r(shí)間周二晚公布了壓縮后的新賽程。根據(jù)賽程，每隊(duì)將進(jìn)行66場(chǎng)比賽，意味所有球隊(duì)至少會(huì)有一次連續(xù)3晚進(jìn)行比賽。

本賽季將于圣誕當(dāng)晚燃起戰(zhàn)火，將迫使球隊(duì)在較短的賽程內(nèi)進(jìn)行更多比賽。比如亞特蘭大老鷹隊(duì)從12月27日開始的12天內(nèi)，將有9場(chǎng)比賽。

本賽季球隊(duì)將進(jìn)行48場(chǎng)區(qū)內(nèi)賽、18場(chǎng)區(qū)外賽。
