The NBA is hoping the In-Season Tournament can eventually become a
competition that teams take pride in winning. It may never be the postseason,
but the success of the event, to some extent, hinges on teams taking it
seriously and caring enough to consider winning it to be a serious
achievement. So far, that has largely been how things have played out. The
Los Angeles Lakers and Indiana Pacers have steamrolled their way through the
competition to reach the tournament final, and both have spoken publicly
about why they want to win it. But if the league is hoping that the winner
treats it like a traditional championship, it is likely disappointed with
what the Lakers are planning.
聯盟希望季中錦標賽最後可以變成是球隊贏球的驕傲。季中錦標賽永遠不可能會像是季後
賽那樣，但是季中錦標賽成功與否，某種程度上要看球隊對這賽事有多認真，對拿下這冠
軍會不會認為是重要成就。目前為止，這賽事也像是這樣子的情況，湖人跟溜馬打進季中
錦標賽冠軍戰，兩隊也都公開表示為什麼他們想要贏。但是，若聯盟希望冠軍隊會對待這
冠軍跟傳統的冠軍一樣的話，那他們大概會對湖人球團的計畫有點失望。
According to Arash Markazi, the Lakers do not currently plan to hang a banner
if they win the In-Season Tournament. They have a team policy about banners
that only allows for them to be raised if the team wins the traditional,
end-of-season NBA championship.
根據Arash Markazi的報導，若湖人拿下季中錦標賽冠軍的話，他們目前沒有計畫把冠軍
旗掛在球館。湖人有規定，只有球隊拿下季賽最後的總冠軍，他們才會掛上去。
In fairness to the Lakers, if they hung banners for anything less than
championships, there wouldn't be any room left in the Crypto.com Arena
rafters. The Lakers have won 17 NBA championships, 19 Western Conference
championships and 33 Pacific Division titles. They also have 15 retired
numbers, including Bill Russell, whose No. 6 has been retired league-wide.
The Lakers have a similar policy when it comes to retiring numbers. Players
are only eligible to have their numbers retired for the Lakers once they've
reached the Hall of Fame. An exception was made for Kobe Bryant, whose
numbers were retired in the season following his retirement.
持平的說，若是湖人把不是總冠的旗子都掛上去的話，那大概就沒空間了。湖人總共有
17座總冠，19個西冠，跟33個太平洋分區冠軍。他們還有15個退休號碼，其中包括了
Bill Russell，他的六號是全聯盟都退休的號碼。湖人對於號碼退休也有類似的規定，
球員要成為名人堂之後，他們才有資格退休號碼。唯一的例外是Kobe Bryant，他的號碼
在他退休之後就一起退了。
