Businesses in Cabo San Lucas nailed up sheets of plywood over their windows and government personnel hung up banners warning people not to try to cross gullies and stream beds, after Hurricane Norma regained strength and once again became a major storm Friday.Baja California Sur Gov. Victor Manuel Castro urged people to stay at home.“Nobody should leave their house after six, seven in the evening," Castro said. "Nobody should go out.”In the Atlantic, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said Hurricane Tammy had winds of 80 mph (130 kph), and hurricane warnings were issued for the islands of Guadeloupe, Antigua, Barbuda, Montserrat, and St. Kitts and Nevis.The center said Norma had 120 mph (195 kph) maximum sustained winds and was centered about 145 miles (235 kilometers) south of Cabo San Lucas. The Category 3 storm was moving north-northwest at 9 mph (15 kph), and the center said its outer bands of rain were already reaching the Baja peninsula.Hotels in Los Cabos, which are largely frequented by foreign tourists, remained about three-quarters full and there was no major move by visitors to leave, Baja California Sur state tourism secretary Maribel Collins said.With rain already falling in Los Cabos, some flights in and out were canceled Friday, there was no way out anyway. Airports will be closed Saturday, according to the local civil defense office.The local hotel association estimated there were about 40,000 tourists still in Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo on Friday.A couple from San Diego walked through the largely deserted streets of Cabo San Lucas on Friday. Because their sports fishing tournament had been postponed until next week, they had little choice but to stay. The local port was closed to navigation as a precaution. At the marina in Cabo San Lucas, José Ceseña was hauling out of the water the boat he usually uses to ferry tourists around on tours. With the port closed and a hurricane coming, he said it wasn’t worth risking his craft.Homero Blanco, the state commander of the National Guard, said beaches at the resort had been ordered closed and Guard troops were sent to clear people from the seashore.“This morning there were a few people on the beach when we cleared it,” Blanco said. “We invited them to leave.” The federal government posted 500 marines to the resort to help with storm preparations, and municipal officials said as many as 39 emergency shelters could be opened if needed.A hurricane warning was issued for the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula, and the forecast track would take a weakened Norma toward the mainland of Mexico’s western Pacific coast as a tropical storm.Norma was expected to weaken somewhat as it neared land, but not as much as originally forecast. In the Atlantic, Hurricane Tammy was about 55 miles (85 kilometers) east of Martinique and 135 miles (220 kilometers) southeast of the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe and was moving west-northwest at 9 mph (15 kph).Tammy was expected to remain at hurricane strength and even strengthen slightly as it moved toward the Lesser Antilles through Saturday passing by Guadeloupe, Antigua and Barbuda. Both Martinique and Guadeloupe are French overseas departments.The hurricane center said in a report that “heavy rainfall and flooding (are) likely over much of the Lesser Antilles.”Hurricane warnings were issued for the islands of Guadeloupe, Antigua, Barbuda, Montserrat, and St. Kitts, Nevis, Anguilla, St. Maarten, St. Martin and St. Barthelemy.___Follow AP’s climate coverage at: https://apnews.com/hub/climate-and-environment。文中观点与译者及平台无关。詹姆斯在他效力过的每一支球队都夺冠了,那么76人会是下一支吗?如果我在6月告诉你,我8月的一期读者问答会用这个标题,你会相信吗?说句实话,当我无比认真地为一支过去两个赛季连一半比赛都没有赢下的球队敲下这些文字时,我感觉确实十分离奇。过去两年的彻底混乱,竟然演变成了76人如今所处的局面,他们已经拥有一批真正具备争冠实力的球员,NBA历史得分王勒布朗·詹姆斯和2024年NBA总决赛MVP杰伦·布朗都已加盟费城,这实在让人难以想象。网友提问:如果没有赢得东部冠军,76人都这个赛季是否就算令人失望?距离媒体日大约还有一个月的时间,毫无疑问,有多名76人球员,尤其是核心球员,会被问到这样一个问题:他们是否必须赢得总冠军,这个赛季才算成功。

二 | 有些球员会回避这个问题,更大胆的球员则会正面回应,而且会说,是的,这支球队唯一的目标就是赢得总冠军。无论这些球员怎么回答,都不会提供什么新消息。毫无疑问,76人拥有打进NBA总决赛所需要的天赋。他们大概也拥有足够的火力赢得总冠军。但更重要的是,他们没有太多时间:詹姆斯会在常规赛进行到一半左右时年满42岁,而任何一个乔尔·恩比德能够保持健康并且展现统治力的赛季,都可能是最后一次了。所以,76人并没有太多次冲击总冠军的机会。

三 | 但他们的机会倒也并不是只有一次。詹姆斯签下了一份两年合同,其中包含2027-28赛季的球员选项。在宣布加盟76人时,詹姆斯将这称为自己的“最后一个决定”,这意味着他职业生涯剩余的时间都将留在费城。自从詹姆斯做出这个决定以来,人们已经多次指出一件事:他此前每一次以自由球员身份加盟新球队之后,最终都赢得了总冠军……而且都是在两年后。詹姆斯在2010年加盟热火,并在2012年赢得个人第一枚总冠军戒指。

四 | 他在2014年重返骑士,随后于2016年拿下了对他而言最具意义的一座总冠军。詹姆斯在2018年加盟湖人,第一个赛季湖人仅取得37胜45负,无缘季后赛,随后他在2020年赢下了NBA总决赛。

五 | 当然了,现在可别急着印带有76人标志的2028年NBA总决赛纪念T恤。不过,这也说明即使76人没有赢得2027年NBA总决赛,他们至少还会有一次冲击冠军的机会,前提是没有任何事情削弱詹姆斯或恩比德的竞技水平。经历重大阵容重组的NBA球队,即使这些变化很明显会让球队变得更好,通常也不会立刻磨合到位。

六 | 詹姆斯和恩比德在整个常规赛期间都需要获得休息时间,这会让球队更难建立连续性,尤其是在竞争激烈的东部,那里有很多球队非常清楚自己在关键比赛中最擅长依靠什么。新赛季76人如果没有打进或赢得NBA总决赛,很明显会令人失望,但这并不必然意味着这个赛季就是失败的。真正会让这个赛季成为失败的情况,是76人在进入2027年休赛期时,无法合理地对自己的争冠竞争力保持信心。如果这一整套计划彻底失败,球队就将面临一次重大的重新评估。如果76人证明自己确实是一支非常出色的球队,只是没有及时找到最合适的方式,从而无法一路闯过新赛季的季后赛,那么即使失望是完全合情合理的,进入明年夏天时,他们也至少仍然有理由保留一些乐观的态度。作者:Adam Aaronson译者:GWayNe。
