With NBA and WNBA players 準備するing to 再開する their seasons in Orlando and Bradenton, Florida, それぞれ, two social マスコミ accounts have been giving fans an inside-the-泡 look at basketball's 包括的な coronavirus 戦略, 同様に as some fishing, binge drinking, and a little 賭事ing.
連合させるd, @NBAbubblelife and @WNBAbubblelife already have more than 100,000 信奉者s on Twitter and Instagram since プロの/賛成の basketball players have been 検疫d at Disney World (NBA) and IMG 学院 (WNBA). The clips and photos are pulled together by a group of self-述べるd 'hoop 長,率いるs' living on the West Coast, (許可,名誉などを)与える ing to the New York Times.

'This 事業/計画(する) has helped me mentally to have an escape,' Phillips told the Times. 'I get some fun versus six hours a day of seeing negativity. The タイミング has been perfect.'
The NBA's 2019-20 season will 再開する with just 22 teams on July 30, while the WNBA (選挙などの)運動をする begins on Friday. Both groups of players are closely 監視するd and 検疫d away from the general 全住民 in Florida, which has 確認するd over 370,000 coronavirus 事例/患者s in one of the country's 感染 震源地s.
Although their social マスコミ 扱うs are 類似の, NBA players' '泡 life' content has contrasted with their WNBA 相当するものs, likely 予定 to the 異なるing accommodations.
反して the NBA players are living the 訴える手段/行楽地 life in Orlando, the 最高の,を越す 女性(の) players are staying at an 運動競技の 学院 that is unaccustomed to the 需要・要求するs of a WNBA season.
And as Los Angeles 誘発するs superstar Candace Parker explained, the heat and area 野性生物 aren't helping.
'You step outside and the 湿度 does something to you - to your soul,' she said in a self-発射 ビデオ. 'I've taken three にわか雨s today.
'Then you're walking passed the trash can, me and the raccoon had a 引き分け,' she continued. 'He 星/主役にするd at me, I 星/主役にするd at him. I was like '冷静な/正味の, this is your 領土…'
'Then there's alligators in the creeks. I don't know if you run zig zags.'
Someone off 審査する 確認するd: 'You run zig zags.'
'But who's gonna think to do that?' Parker 発射 支援する.
That's not to say the WNBA 泡 is humorless.

The NBA 泡 outside Orlando hasn't disappointed, thanks, in part, to a seemingly endless 供給(する) of alcohol.
New Orleans' JJ Redick, Miami's Meyers Leonard, 同様に as Utah's Jordan Clarkson and Royce O'Neale all 記録,記録的な/記録するd themselves chugging beers, while other players have 地位,任命するd pictures of ワイン 瓶/封じ込めるs that were gifted to them.
Redick 現実に won a bet by with チーム仲間s by getting over 10,000 retweets for the 発射 of him chugging a beer while recuperating in an ice bath.
'A bet's a bet,' Edwards said. 'When that rolled out, we were 肉親,親類d of like, 'We've got something, fellas.'
Fishing has also been a popular activity inside the NBA 泡, where 76ers point guard Ben Simmons was 記録,記録的な/記録するd 投げ上げる/ボディチェックするing a fish 支援する into the lake and 無所属の政治家s 中心 Boban Marjanovic 運ぶ/漁獲高d what appeared to be a small 見本/標本 (although he's 7-foot-4 so it could have been a halibut or something larger).

Above all, the two social マスコミ accounts serve to 強調する just how unique the 2020 WNBA season and the 再開 of the NBA's 2019-20 (選挙などの)運動をする will be.
The league's marketing motto for the 再開する of the season at Walt Disney World is 'Whole New Game,' and in many 尊敬(する)・点s, that's very true. The 円形競技場s that will be used for the 展示s, the seeding games that start July 30 and then the プレーオフs that are scheduled for 中央の-August through 中央の-October 始める,決める up much 異なって than usual ― all with safety during a pandemic very much in mind.
Los Angeles Clippers coach Doc Rivers said league 公式の/役人s have been 広大な/多数の/重要な, 'they really have been. They've done everything 権利 as far as I'm 関心d.
'I mean, when you think that we're running a village for the first time, the league is doing pretty 井戸/弁護士席 in city 管理/経営.'
The 法廷,裁判所 dimensions, of course, are 不変の.
Everything else about an NBA game 体制/機構 is new.

Seating in the (法廷の)裁判 areas will be 割り当てるd, with 倍のing 議長,司会を務めるs 始める,決める up on three 列/漕ぐ/騒動s instead of the customary two and spaced out several feet from one another ― instead of players sitting shoulder-to-shoulder as they have in the past. And across the 中心 (土地などの)細長い一片, the words '黒人/ボイコット Lives 事柄' are painted の上に the surface.
The area where the 公式の/役人 scorers, timers and statisticians sit is enclosed by plexiglass, with social distancing in that 一時しのぎの物,策 room 同様に. 放送者s, who are courtside in normal circumstances, will be higher up and several feet その上の 支援する from the playing surface. Even the 体制/機構 for replay reviews will be different ― that 監視する is in the corner of the 円形競技場, instead of 存在 kept at the scorer's (米)棚上げする/(英)提議する and 利用するd when needed.
League 公式の/役人s hope they thought of every way to keep people apart and 促進する social distancing.
Some teams have gotten 小旅行するs already; Denver 中心 Nikola Jokic didn't get to see the 円形競技場s yet, but said Nuggets 大統領 Tim Connelly gave them good reviews.
'I didn't see it in person,' Jokic said. 'Tim told me it looks really nice. But to be honest, I've played in every possible 円形競技場. Nice, bad. 冷淡な, hot. Whatever.'
While NBA players can relax by the pool at Disney World (pictured) WNBA players have been いっそう少なく enthusiastic about their surroundings at IMG 学院 in Bradenton, Florida?

The 展示s that start on Wednesday will be glorified scrimmages, designed to help the teams, the 審判(をする)s and even the game-night 労働者s 人物/姿/数字 out how everything 作品. Teams have even 共同製作するd on their game 計画(する)s, asking one another what they want to work on in these matchups that won't count for anything.
They won't even have a game feel: No 国家の 国家s will be played, no starter introductions will take place, warmups might not even happen like usual and so
me real-game elements might get 実験(する)d out to see what 作品. The first scrimmages for each team will also have 10-minute 4半期/4分の1s, as …に反対するd to the usual 12.
'I've just got to take it one game at a time, see what it's like during these scrimmages,' Clippers 今後 Kawhi Leonard said.
Miami coach Erik Spoelstra said he reached out to Utah's Quin Snyder and Sacramento's Luke Walton on how they 手配中の,お尋ね者 to make things work in their 近づいている scrimmages, and other coaches have had 類似の conversations.
The Clippers play Orlando on Wednesday. Rivers said he knows 正確に/まさに what 魔法 coach Steve Clifford will do in that scrimmage, and Orlando knows the Clippers' 計画(する)s 同様に.
'We're looking at this as an 適切な時期 to get better for both teams,' Rivers said. 'So, coaches are 絶対 株ing things. We're asking them in this 4半期/4分の1 can you do this, on-味方する, out-of-bounds, can you do this 弁護, then what do you want me to do? I think it's been 広大な/多数の/重要な in that way.'?
