英语看世界 带大家用英语了解一下NBA的全明星赛和季后赛
小编还是打油诗一首：全明星赛很精彩，虽然全都是彩排。季后比赛更激烈，努力挣钱看一届。上节给大家介绍了常规赛，本节就给大家介绍一下关于全明星赛和季后赛的英语材料。
In February, the regular season pauses to celebrate the annual NBA All-Star Game. Fans vote throughout the United States, Canada, and on the Internet, and the top vote-getters in each conference are named captains. Fan votes determine the rest of the all-star starters. Coaches vote to choose the remaining 14 All-Stars. Then, the top vote-getters in each conference draft their own team from a player pool of all-stars. The top vote-getter in the league earns first pick and so forth. The player with the best performance during the game is rewarded with a Game MVP award.
二月，常规赛暂停庆祝NBA年度全明星赛。在美国、加拿大和互联网上，粉丝们进行投票，每次会议的最高投票人被任命为队长。球迷投票决定了明星首发阵容(东西联盟各5人)。教练员投票选出剩下的14名全明星(每队七名替补)。然后，每队队长从的球员中选出自己的球队(被粉丝定了吧)。联盟中得票最高者获得第一选择等等。在比赛中表现最好的球员获得MVP奖。
Other attractions of the All-Star break include the Rising Stars Challenge (originally Rookie Challenge), where the top rookies and second-year players in the NBA play in a 5-on-5 basketball game, with the current format pitting U.S. players against those from the rest of the world; the Skills Challenge, where players compete to finish an obstacle course consisting of shooting, passing, and dribbling in the fastest time; the Three Point Contest, where players compete to score the highest number of three-point field goals in a given time; and the NBA Slam Dunk Contest, where players compete to dunk the ball in the most entertaining way according to the judges. These other attractions have varying names which include the names of the various sponsors who have paid for naming rights.
全明星赛的其它吸引人之处还包括“上升之星挑战赛”（最初是新秀挑战赛），NBA顶尖的新秀和二年级球员在5对5的篮球比赛中进行比赛，目前的形式使美国球员与世界其他地方的球员竞赛；技能挑战赛，指运动员在最快的时间里完成包括投篮、传球和带球的障碍赛；三点赛，指运动员在给定时间内得分最多的三分球比赛；以及NBA扣篮大赛，指运动员采用各种动作进行扣篮，根据裁判的判定得分选出花哨的球员，其他有意思的地方在于我们会看到为冠名权付费的各种赞助商。
The post-season teams are the All-NBA Team, the All-Defensive Team, and the All-Rookie Team; each consists of five players. There are three All-NBA teams, consisting of the top players at each position, with first-team status being the most desirable. There are two All-Defensive teams, consisting of the top defenders at each position. There are also two All-Rookie teams, consisting of the top first-year players regardless of position.
季后赛球队是全NBA球队、全防守队和全新秀队，每队由五名球员组成。全联盟共挑出三支NBA球队，每支球队都由顶级球员组成，其中一线队是最理想的。两个防守队，每个位置都有顶级防守队员。还有两支全新秀球队，由每个位置顶尖的一年级球员组成。
