耐克那不耐撕的新球衣
After at least five of Nike's NBA jerseys ripped on players this season, the world's largest shoe and apparel giant,which signed an eight-year, $1 billion deal with the NBA that began this year, has acknowledged initial product presented to teams needs more reinforcement.
耐克作爲全球最大的球鞋和服裝巨頭，與NBA簽訂了一份爲期8年，總價值爲10億美元的合同，並於今年開始生效。本賽季至今，至少有5位球員所穿的耐克球衣在比賽中被撕毀。事件發生之後，耐克公司表示，發放給球隊使用的首批產品在柔韌性方面需要加強。When they ripped, Nike's jerseys didn't just tear, the videoes of the moments spread quickly on social media.
耐克球衣被撕破時，並非簡單的撕裂，而是被完全撕毀。球衣撕毀的視頻很快便在社交媒體上瘋傳。In the closing minutes of an opening-night game, the jersey of Cavaliers star LeBron James, Nike's highest-paid current NBA player, ripped down the middle.
詹姆斯是目前耐克旗下薪金最高的NBA球員，他的球衣在賽季揭幕戰的最後時刻，從中間裂開。
Warriors forward Draymond Green's jersey ripped in a fight with the Wizards' Bradley Beal, and last week 76ers rookie Ben Simmons' jersey completely tore after being tugged at while he was fighting for a rebound. Cavaliers forward Kevin Love had to go the locker room after his jersey tore when he pulled it over his head.
勇士前鋒德拉蒙德-格林在與奇才球員布拉德利-比爾的衝突中，球衣被撕毀。上週，76人新秀本-西蒙斯在爭搶籃板時，遭到拖拽，球衣被完全扯毀。騎士前鋒凱文-樂福脫下球衣時，球衣被撕裂，無奈他只好返回更衣室。Nike issued a statement saying Nike is working with the NBA and teams "to avoid this happening in the future."
耐克官方發表聲明稱：“耐克正與NBA和各支球隊密切接洽，以防止這樣的事件今後繼續發生。”But while it's unprecedented to see so many ripped jerseys in such a short period of time, this is hardly the first time we've seen torn jerseys in the NBA.
雖然在短時間內有如此多的球衣被撕毀，這樣的事還前所未有，但這並非第一次我們看到有球衣在NBA賽場上被撕損。Here's a selected timeline of similar incidents from over the past decade, when the league's uniforms were made by Adidas:
以下是過去十年內類似事件發生的時間表，當時聯盟的球衣還是由阿迪達斯製造。

"Nike has always put the athlete at the center of everything we do and we have worked hard to create the most advanced uniforms in the history of the NBA,"the company said in the statement."We are working with the NBA and teams to avoid this happening in the future."
儘管這一事件將耐克置於了一個尷尬的處境，但耐克至今仍未收到來自球衣消費者的投訴。“耐克始終將球員的利益作爲自己一切工作的中心，並致力於製造出NBA史上最先進的球衣，”耐克公司在聲明中說道，“我們正與NBA和各支球隊密切接洽，以防止這樣的事件今後繼續發生。”更多精彩內容請關注微信公衆號、新浪微博：籃球英文堂
