Milwaukee Bucks1 star Giannis Antetokounmpo might already have a nickname, but as Shaquille O'Neal has already shown, you can never have too many.In fact, O'Neal is ready to relinquish2 one of his favorites — "Superman" — and gi ve it up "with honor and pleasure" to the "Greek Freak.
密尔沃基雄鹿队球星扬尼斯-安特托昆博可能又要有一个绰号了,就像沙奎尔-奥尼尔一样,永远都不会少。实际上,奥尼尔已经准备让渡自己最喜欢的一个绰号——“超人”,十分荣幸地并且欢喜地给这个“希腊怪兽”。
"I've never given my name up before, but I'm giving it to him. He's the new Superman. You heard it here first," O'Neal told The Stephen A. Smith Show on ESPN Radio on Thursday. "I didn't hit no 3-pointer either, but he's dominating and that's what I like. He's dominating in the paint. You taking it to the hole. You throwing it down. You ain't shooting no flip3 shots.
“在这之前,我从未放弃过自己的名字,但是我要把它给扬尼斯。他是新一代超人。你在我这里第一次听到。”在ESPN周三电台节目里,奥尼尔告诉斯蒂芬-A-史密:“我不投三分,但是他掌控了三分线外,这点我很喜欢。他统治了油漆区。你可以把球放进篮筐,也可以扣篮,但你做不了那些挑篮”。
"And you know what? I don't want to encourage big guys to shoot jumpers and 3-pointers. Stay your big ass4 on the inside and dominate like you been doing. So I denounce myself as Superman and I'm giving to the 'Greek Freak.' You heard it here first."
你知道吗?我不会鼓励那些大个子去跳投和三分球,大个子就要待在篮下,就像你一直做的那样统治篮下。所以我正式将自己的‘超人’称号废除,并且将它送给‘希腊怪兽’。你这是第一次在我这听到。

Antetokounmpo, 6-foot-11, in his sixth season, is averaging 27.3 points, 12.9 rebounds5 and 1.3 blocks per game for the Bucks, who lead the Central Division and are only three games behind the Toronto Raptors for the top spot in the Eastern Conference.

He might be shooting only 11.8 percent from 3-point range, but the two-time All-Star selection leads the NBA with 97 dunks and is shooting 65 percent inside the arc (57.7 percent from the field overall).
他在三分线外的命中率可能只有11.8%,但是这位两次全明星,以97次扣篮和65%的篮下命中率领跑全联盟(整体命中率57.7%)
He finished sixth in the MVP voting last season, but O'Neal said it's just a matter of time before he rises to the top."The Greek Freak is the MVP right now," O'Neal said. "How about that?"
上赛季他在MVP排行榜名列第六,但是奥尼尔说字母哥登顶MVP榜首只是时间问题,“这个希腊怪物现在就是MVP,奥尼尔说道这怎么样?”
O'Neal has long refused to acknowledge Dwight Howard's use of the Superman moniker, reminding the now-Washington Wizards center multiple times over the years that there was only room for one Superman in the league.
奥尼尔一直都拒绝承认霍华德使用”超人“这个绰号,考虑到华盛顿奇才近年来的情况,联盟中现在只能有一个“超人”。
