Like a runaway real estate market, the NBA is in the midst of a scoring boom with no bust in sight. It's become an on-court video game, with the ball going back and forth freneticallyand players taking shots from near and mostly far.
就像一个失控的房地产市场一样，NBA正处于一个得分爆炸期，看不到任何停下的势头。它已经变成了一个场上的电子游戏，球从一边疯了一样地飞到另一边，球员们的投篮从近处到远处，各式各样，当然后者占了大多数。
This isn't your fathers NBA, this is your father's night out with the boys that ends up with a Thunder Cats tattoo.
这已经不是20年前的NBA了，就算你老爸现在带着你去看球，都会被这种狂热气氛感染，最后爷俩一块儿跑去纹个身都不奇怪。
Before this season, there was a little-noted change in the NBA rule book that stated Defenders shall not impede any shot by an opponent; if at all possible, the offensive player will be allowed to shoot unguarded.
在这个赛季之前，NBA规则手册中有一点小小的变化，也就是：防守队员不应以任何形式妨碍对手的投篮；如果可能的话，这就相当于让进攻队员在毫无防守的情况下投篮。
Go Google "James Harden traveling" and you'll get the best bargain in home entertainment outside of Netflix. It doesn't matter how many steps he takes, he apparently never travels.
谷歌一下“詹姆斯-哈登走步”，你就可以在家中找到Netflix之外的快乐源泉。不管他走了多少步，他显然从不会被吹走步。
Harden is known for his step-back three-pointers, but of late he is executing a "double step-back-do the math on that baby and figure out how many steps he's taking which looks more like he's dancing the rumba than making a legal basketball move.
哈登以他的后撤步三分球而闻名，但最近他做出了一个“双后撤步”（自己算算吧孩子们，看他到底动了几步），这个动作看起来更像他在跳伦巴舞，而不是做一个合法的篮球动作。
Well, the generational talents of Harden and Curry alone create more offense. Other teams are imitating the Warriors fast-pace style. Three-point shots are trendier than sustainable seafood. Referees are calling more fouls for grabbing and holding, on the rare occasions that defenders are close enough to grab and hold.
的确，哈登和库里这一代人的天赋创造了更多的进攻方式，其他球队也在模仿勇士的快节奏风格。三分球可比老派稳扎稳打的两分球流行多了。裁判们开始吹罚了更多的拉人犯规，可防守人本来就没多少机会去真正拉住一个投篮球员。
A couple of weeks ago, Curry's teammate, Klay Thompson, perhaps the best catch-and-shooter in league history-scored 43 points against the New York Knicks and he only dribbled the ball four times total.
几周前，库里的队友克莱-汤普森（也许是联盟历史上最好的无球射手）在对阵纽约尼克斯队的比赛中得了43分，却只运球四次。
Another factor: After offensive rebounds. the shot clock now only resets to 14 seconds rather than 24. Most possessions are only taking 14 seconds anyway; it's as if everyone is double-parked.
另一个因素：抢到进攻篮板后，计时器会重置到14秒而不是之前的24秒。不管怎么说，大多数进攻回合只需要14秒，就好像每个人身上都多了一层没必要的限制。
The sport has become somewhat reckless somewhat defenseless and somewhat mindless. It's like a pickup game out there.
这项运动变得有些鲁莽蛮横，有些忽略防守，有些缺乏理智。这就像一场街头比赛。
