some players hate losing more than they love winning, and that appears to be
the case with Jared Sullinger, who has grown increasingly frustrated after
each tough loss the Boston Celtics have suffered this season. While
Sullinger's intensity is an admirable trait, it becomes undesirable if it
begins to negatively affect his performance on the court.

Unfortunately, that appears to be happening with the third-year big man this
season, especially since trade rumors about Rajon Rondo began to swirl.

有些球員討厭輸球的感覺甚於當自已獲勝
sully恰恰好是這類型的球員
尤其是本季celtics碰到多場tough loss的game
也更可能對sully有負面的影響


In Boston's last ten games, Sullinger is averaging 24.2 minutes, 8.5 points,
and 6.1 rebounds per game, as opposed to 30, 15.9, and 8.8, respectively, in
his first 18 games. All of Sullinger's efficiency stats have dropped in each
set of games, including his eFG percentage (52.7 percent to 45.1 percent),
true shooting percentage (54.5 percent to 45.2 percent), and
assist-to-turnover ratio plummet (2.35 to 1.06).

"I've always seen him respond to [adversity]. We're all going to have times
in games and multiple games in a row where we don't play as well. That
happens," coach Brad Stevens said before Friday's game when asked about
Sullinger's recent struggles. "The way we should look at it as a staff is how
can we help? And how can we do a better job? That's the way we're looking at
it and hopefully he'll play great today. I assume that he will every time he
takes the floor."

In Boston's 109-107 loss to the Brooklyn Nets, Sullinger got the start and
bounced back with 19 points in 32 minutes. As Stevens hinted, the coaching
staff called a number of sets specifically to get Sullinger going. Whether it
was a low post touch, or a pick-and-pop that put him into a favorable
situation to drive the closeout, the big man was rolling.

Brad提到思考如何讓sully脫離低潮，多打以他為主的play set
也並不認為幾場比賽打不好是個issue

But Friday's terrific performance was followed by another disappearing act on
Saturday with only 12 points and 5 rebounds, continuing his season-long trend
of inconsistency.

There's no doubt that Sullinger is a gamer, but one of his weaknesses appears
to be that he can't swallow losing. After losses he sulks and mumbles to the
media, but after wins he's always smiling and joking in the locker room.
Everyone reacts differently to situations life may throw their way, but
professional athletes can't let it hurt their in-game performance -- that's
part of the job description.

這邊講到sully的個性在輸球與獲勝的狀況下面對media的反應，卻也提到身為職業球員，
必須儘量維持一定的場上表現，

Before entering the NBA, Sullinger had never really experienced being on a
struggling team. In high school, he was named Naismith Player of the Year
after leading his team to an undefeated season, and at Ohio State he made
appearances in the Sweet 16 as a freshman and the Final Four as a sophomore.
He even sniffed success, reaching the playoffs as a rookie with the Celtics
-- that feels so long ago now, doesn't it?

提到了sully進入NBA前的成就，完全跟輸球劃不上等號

But Boston has lost 75 of their last 110 games, which is a strenuous
experience for anyone, but especially for someone that has never went through
anything like it before. Jared's father, Satch Sullinger, even flew out to
Boston to support him before on Friday. Satch told Celtics.com's Emily Austen
that he came to assure that his son was playing well, and no surprise, Jared
responded.

Sullinger was asked after the game if he felt like he hadn't been playing
aggressive in his prior lackluster performances. "No, I have," responded
Sullinger. "But I was just playing with a clear mind."

But the losing continues to snowball with 4 losses in a row and a schedule
that won't be letting up anytime soon. Will a talented athlete like Sullinger
be the type of player that lets losing destroy him from the inside out or
will he work through the pain, play with a "clear mind," and come out better
than ever?

自已覺得sully也很有可能是因為身體重量影響了表現
撞牆期也有可能，而且常看到他一個人跟對方的全隊大個子在籃下拼搶
