Jared Sullinger is "Sully."

Sully蘇麗

Dionte Christmas is "Temple," because that's where he went to college.

X'mas的綽號是Temple"天普"(翻譯寺廟也行)，因為他是天普畢業的

And Kevin Garnett says Fab Melo is "Melo" because, "I don't like really
calling a man `Fab.'"

KG就叫Melo"Melo"，他不喜歡叫人Fab...

The Boston Celtics rookies are getting nicknames, compliments of the man
himself known as "KG" and "The Big Ticket." Garnett went out of his way on
Friday to make it clear that he's doing it to be affectionate and not
because, like many veterans throughout basketball and other sports, he can't
be troubled to learn their real names.

KG自己本身就很多綽號啦，他覺得取綽號比較方便記人

"My personal connection is a nickname. I'm not disrespecting people by not
knowing their names," Garnett said. "Some people don't even talk to rookies."

KG:我不是不願意記真名，只是就個人而言綽號比較好記，有些人都不跟新秀講話咧

The Celtics are still loaded with aging veterans, relying heavily on Garnett
and Paul Pierce along with new additions Jason Terry and Jason Collins. But
the leadership in the process of passing to 26-year-old point guard Rajon
Rondo, and this year's crop of rookies could be the most productive since
2004, when Doc Rivers was himself in his first year with the team.

隊上有很多老將，但領導人慢慢變成了Rondo，今年的新秀可能是自04年來能
對球隊做出較多貢獻的

Sullinger and Melo were first-round draft picks, with Kris Joseph coming in
the second round. (Garnett calls Joseph "Shawn," Christmas said, "because he
reminds him of someone named Shawn.")

KG叫Kris Joseph"Shawn"，因為Joseph讓KG想起一個叫Shawn的人

"Most of the time, it's just `Young'un," Sullinger said. "Knowing that he's
an NBA dinosaur, you've got to understand that being a `young'un' is a good
thing."

蘇麗:大多時間他只叫我們Young'un

Christmas was a 2009 draft choice of the Philadelphia 76ers who played in
Europe the past three seasons and would be happy to be called anything by
Garnett or any of the Celtics once the final roster cuts are made. "For him
to recognize me, for him to put an interest in me as a teammate, it's
definitely humbling," Christmas said.

X'mas"能被KG呼喚，能被他記得，能跟他一起打球，此生無憾"

Sullinger is also enjoying his time with his new mentor. Garnett has been
running a sort of big-man camp within training camp, coach Doc Rivers said,
and the 2004 NBA MVP has been passing along what he knows to Sullinger and
Collins as well as returnees Chris Wilcox and Brandon Bass.

蘇麗很喜歡跟這些老人混在一起

"I'm a big fan of veterans ... teaching some of the young guys on work
ethics, earning what you get, not just riding off potential," Garnett said.
"I've always been a big fan of veterans" doing that.

KG也很喜歡跟老人混在一起

The Celtics returned this week from exhibitions in Milan and Istanbul and
will meet the New York Knicks on Saturday night in Hartford, Conn. -- their
first practice game against NBA opponents.

Sullinger is trying to soak it all up.

"Being a rookie, you always have to pay homage to the veterans," he said.
"You come in, you've got to have a closed mouth and you play basketball."

蘇麗:當菜鳥阿，你必須對老將保持敬意，因仔郎有耳沒嘴，乖乖打球就是
