There are stresses within the high-stakes games naturally, but there's also another layer that is perhaps unique to this season. It's the pressure of the aftermath and it will mount by the day, by the loss and, oddly in this unusual season, even by the win in some cases.
显然，球员在高强度的对战中面临巨大压力，这种压力感就是我们看到这个赛季最独特的地方。随着时光的脚步，输球，尤其在不同的季赛，甚至在某些赢球的时刻所产生的压力将会不断增加。
With so many contenders loaded with fragile, big-name free agents and other concerns that are tied to the uncertainty of their finishes, there is more at than just winning. There's also the future and, in these times, that's always on the mind.
带有伤病的球员，大名鼎鼎的自由交易球员，以及其他球员都为他们的最终结局的不确定性而担忧。他们面临的风险不仅仅是赢得比赛还有赢得未来，这些担忧在他们职业生涯挥之不去。
The Toronto Raptors have lived all season with the Kawhi Leonard cloud on the horizon. Leonard hasn't articulated, well, almost anything. Certainly not what will be most important to him when he has the option to become a free agent this summer.
多伦多猛龙队一整个赛季都生活在与莱昂纳德即将到来的合约阴霾之中。莱昂纳德几乎什么都没说。当然，当他可以选择成为自由球员后，什么对他来说最重要，这方面，他肯定也什么都没有透露。
But it's a safe bet that an early exit would not bode well for the Raptors' chances at re-signing him, especially after they changed coaches and retooled the roster to try to bury past playoff disappointments.
但可以肯定的是，过早退出对猛禽队重新签下他的机会来说并不是什么好的兆头，尤其是在他们更换了教练，重新调整了阵容，试图掩盖过去季后赛的失望之后。
Boston has all the ingredients of a team that could make the Finals, especially when bigs Al Horford and Aron Baynes are healthy and Jayson Tatum finds a balance between grace and aggression.
波士顿拥有一个球队杀入总决赛所需要的所有要素，尤其当大个子霍福德和贝恩斯恢复了身体健康，塔特姆在优雅和侵略之间找到了平衡。
But if it goes south, it's possible the Celtics could not only lose Irving in July but also be more judicious in an expected trade offer for Anthony Davis in the summer. There's a wide swing of possibilities here that bears watching as the Celtics make their way through the playoffs.
但如果转会到南部，凯尔特人不仅可能在7月失去欧文，而且可能在夏天对安东尼戴维斯的交易更加明确。随着凯尔特人在季后赛中努力前行，事件进展的也有很多的可能性，值得关注。
Keeping this 60-win team together may hinge on these playoffs. Bringing the core back would likely send the Bucks into the luxury tax next season and beyond. The Bucks haven't paid the luxury tax since 2003, the season they traded Ray Allen for Gary Payton.
能否保持这60场胜利的球队继续前行取决于季后赛。让核心球员归队很可能会在下个赛季让雄鹿开始支付奢侈税，甚至远远超出。自2003年他们用雷·艾伦交换加里·佩顿的那个赛季以来，雄鹿就没有支付过奢侈税。
Is this team close enough to title contention to break that taxless streak or will the Bucks retrofit with cheaper options if there's an earlier-than-expected exit? And how might that crossroads affect Antetokounmpo, who can extend his contract if he wants in 2020? These are topics that are absolutely being discussed within the organization as Milwaukee starts its most promising postseason in decades.
这支球队是否足够踏入冠军争夺战，让雄鹿值得中断长期的无税，或者如果有一个比预期更早的退出（季后赛），雄鹿会用更便宜的选择进行重新调整？那么，这一（球队发展）的十字路口将如何影响antetokounmpo呢？谁可以让他在2020年的时候续约？随着密尔沃基开始了几十年来最有希望的季后赛，这些都是该组织内部肯定正在讨论的话题。
Kevin Durant has exuded unhappiness throughout the season for reasons only he can understand, giving rise to the belief that he's playing his last days with the team. If two titles didn't make him happy, will a third only verify his tug toward a new challenge?
凯文·杜兰特在整个赛季都表现出了不开心，原因只有他能体会吧，使得更多人相信那个观点，那就是他在这只球队的日子时日不多了。如果两个冠军头衔不能让他高兴，第三个冠军能证明他对新挑战的动力吗？
If you can figure out Durant, send your resume to both the Warriors and Knicks as they are probably interested in hiring you. Either way, their playoff run is carrying some extra baggage.
如果你能理解杜兰特的苦衷，那你可以把你的简历寄给勇士队和尼克斯队，因为他们可能对雇佣你感兴趣。不管怎样，他们的季后赛之旅都有一些额外的包袱。
