10 things you might not know about Rajon Rondo, from his five showers a day
to his math skills
1. According to Sports Illustrated, when Rondo was born a doctor looked at him
in awe. “His hands are humongous,” the doctor said.
根据《SI.com》报导，Rondo出生时，医生惊讶地看着他说：“手也太大了吧。”
2. Rondo learned to ride a bike without training wheels. According to the
Boston Globe, Rondo told his mother “They’d slow me down,” and he wanted
to keep up with the big kids in his neighborhood in Louisville, Ky. After
crashing multiple times he figured it out by the end of the day.
Rondo学骑脚踏车时没有用辅助轮。根据《波士顿环球报》报导，
Rondo告诉妈妈说：“辅助轮会让我的速度变慢。”
他想跟上肯塔基州路易斯维尔附近的大孩子，在摔了无数次后他终于学会了骑脚踏车。
3. While at Kentucky, Rondo at times struggled to play within coach Tubby
Smith's regimented system. At one point Smith benched Rondo for six games.
But when he declared for the NBA draft after two years, Smith paid Rondo a
giant compliment. “I don't think I've coached a better athlete, or a more
talented basketball player in my entire life,” Smith said.
当Rondo在肯塔基上学时，他有些难以融入教练Tubby Smith的战术体系。
有一次，教练6场比赛都将Rondo按在板凳上。但是当他在两年后参加NBA选秀后，
Smith教练极力称赞Rondo，
他说：“在我生命中，不曾有一个球员比Rondo更好、更有运动天赋。”
4. Rondo takes five showers on game days, the last one 45 minutes before
tip-off, because he does his best thinking in the shower. He also drinks
five bottles of water on drives to the arena so he doesn’t have to deal
with Gatorade cups on the bench. (Source: Sports Illustrated)
Rondo在比赛当天要洗5次澡，最后一次洗澡是在跳球前45分钟，他习惯在洗澡时思考。
在开车前往球场时他会喝5瓶水，这样他就不用收拾板凳席上佳得乐的杯子了。
5. Rondo spurned his hometown school in Louisville to play for Kentucky.
Louisville coach Rick Pitino recruited Rondo but waited on him in the hopes
of landing Sebastian Telfair. Rondo got tired of waiting around and
committed to Kentucky while Telfair chose to declare for the draft out of
high school. Rondo and Telfair eventually played together on the Celtics
for during the 2006-07 season.
Rondo拒绝了家乡球队路易斯维尔，选择了为肯塔基打球。
路易斯维尔教练Rick Pitino曾招募Rondo，但同时让他等待，因为Rick Pitino还想招募
Sebastian Telfair。最终Rondo厌倦了等待，与肯塔基达成协议，而Sebastian Telfair
最终决定以高中生身份参加选秀。最后Rondo与Telfair在06-07赛季成为赛尔提克队友。
6. As a high school senior, Rondo transferred to basketball powerhouse Oak
Hill Academy in Mouth of Wilson, Virginia. There he played alongside
now-Rockets small forward Josh Smith.
当Rondo还是高中生时，他转学去了篮球名校弗吉尼亚州的橡树山学院，
他在那里与现在火箭球员Josh Smith成为队友。
7. Rondo’s favorite pregame meal is grilled chicken. His favorite car is a
Lamborghini. His favorite movie is Cinderella Man and his favorite NBA
player growing up was Isaiah Thomas.
Rondo最喜欢的赛前餐点是烤鸡肉，最喜欢的车是蓝宝坚尼，
最喜欢的电影是《Cinderella Man》，成长期最喜欢的球员是"微笑刺客"Isaiah Thomas。
8. Known as a passer, Rondo has led the NBA in assists the past two years. He
averaged 10.8 assists per game, tops in the league, with Boston, but he
chips in just 6.2 assists per game since his trade to the Mavericks.
作为一名大家熟知的助攻好手，本赛季，他在赛尔提克时场均10.8次助攻排在联盟第一，
但被交易到小牛后，助攻下降到场均6.2次。
9. Rajon is a combination of two names. According to Sports Illustrated,
Rondo’s mother wanted to call him Roderick after an uncle while his oldest
brother Will wanted to call him Johnny. They compromised with Rajon.
Rajon是两个名字的组合。据《SI.com》报导，Rondo的母亲希望给他取名Roderick，
但他的哥哥喜欢叫他Johnny，这两个名字组合在一起就成了Rajon。
10. Rondo is extremely good at math. One of his high school teachers was
former NBA player Mike Bibby’s cousin, Doug. Bibby gave Rondo special
tests to ensure he wasn’t cheating. Rondo aced them, but was contentious
with Bibby at times, so Bibby gave Rondo a D. (Source: Sports Illustrated)
Rondo的数学非常好，他的一位高中数学老师是前NBA球员Mike Bibby的表弟Doug Bibby。
Doug会给Rondo一些特殊的测验以确定他没作弊。
Rondo通通搞定了这些测验，但有时会和Doug有些争吵，所以Doug最终只给了分数Ｄ。
