Chapter 41: Who is the Genius (Part II)
Sean attacked, and after defending this ball, he already had a choice in his heart. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Mayo is strong.
It's fast, it's powerful, and it's a great shot. If it was Sean a year ago, he would definitely have been blown up, because Sean at that time would not be an opponent at all except for his speed advantage, and Mayo could directly use his strength to carry Sean into the inner line.
But...... A year later, Mayo's talent wasn't that strong.
Sean's talent for two years of untrained talent was made up for in the course of the year, and he played smarter.
Mayo's strength is strong, but in the guard, the advantage is not so big, basically half of the guards can compare to Mayo in strength.
Mayo is fast, but in terms of guards, half of the guards can keep up with Mayo's speed, and there are even some people who are faster than Mayo, and Sean is one of them.
As a result, most point guards and shooting guards will not be able to match Mayo in terms of speed and power.
Mayo always chooses a way to blow up his opponent.
But...... Mayo's talent for speed and strength isn't really top-notch.
In terms of speed, Wade, Iverson, Sean and others can completely blow up Mayo, and in terms of strength, Mayo is only a little stronger than Sean, and there is no absolute advantage.
That's embarrassing.
Mayo, who played very well in high school, will have less and less physical talent advantage in future games, and maybe still have a big advantage in college, but when he gets to the NBA, it's hard to imagine what it will become.
At the same time, if it is compared to skill, Mayo is even more embarrassing.
Mayo's breakthrough skills are a bit ordinary, and Sean can blow him up, so if Mayo doesn't have an absolute advantage in speed and strength, it's easy to be defended.
Maybe Mayo's best point is in the three-point shot, but ...... Something even more embarrassing arose.
If it's a role player, Mayo is definitely qualified, even excellent. But if it is the core, Mayo's breakthrough is not so strong, only three-point shots, it is impossible to have an absolute opposition advantage, and Mayo's three-point shot is still so slow, and his height is very average.
In terms of point guard, Mayo has a slight disadvantage in height, which is not obvious in the NCAA, but in the NBA, it is very embarrassing.
In the NCAA, Mayo was a two-way position, but in the NBA.
Sean now has an absolute advantage against Mayo.
It's faster than Mayo.
The strength doesn't have to be much worse than Mayo.
Breakthrough technology is much better than Mayo.
The three-point shot was much faster than Mayo's.
He is also 10 centimeters taller than Mayo.
With such an advantage, Mayo was helpless at all, the first ball, Sean directly broke through on the right side and then fought back under the crotch, and after pretending to break through to the left, Sean directly stepped back and shot a three-point shot.
Mayo stood there with a bewildered expression, his focus still moving to the left, and there was no defense at all.
Even if Mayo reacts, the height difference will be embarrassing for Mayo.
If you shoot well, but your height is not good, it's a good choice for players to rely on breakthrough skills to find space to shoot, or speed to find space to shoot.
But for Mayo, it can't be done.
Or in the face of Sean, he can't do it.
Mayo, who has always been omnipotent, was completely confused when he met Sean. Everywhere falls into the downwind.
In a wave of 11-1, Mayo lost miserably.
Sean showed a wonderful fancy abuse skill, breaking through Sean used skill and speed to blow up Mayo, Mayo's defense was counted over and over again by Nick Young, and Sean used height, speed and breakthrough skills to get a shooting opportunity, which is not too simple.
For the first time, Sean tried the feeling of omnipotence.
If Sean had such a three-pointer in the last game, maybe the Trojans could have continued to go further.
Breakthrough and shooting are good, the effect is not a problem of 1+1=2 at all, it is very simple to defend one, defend two, and the difficulty is multiplied several times.
It's a pity that there are no ifs.
Mayo looked frustrated after being defeated, and stood aside with the ball in silence.
Nick Young wanted to laugh again, but he was silent when he saw this scene.
Sean continued to practice with the ball, and did not have too much excitement and emotion for defeating this well-known high school student, and won Mayo, which just proved that more than a year of training has paid off.
Mayo still lacks NCAA experience, if it was three months ago, the two would be at most half a pound and eight taels of the level, and Mayo would have had a slight advantage, so Sean is not qualified to be proud at all.
The only gain is that Sean really feels the improvement of his strength.
After the defeat, Mayo was depressed, and he was listless on the basketball court for several days, saying that he was training, but he didn't care, and he was playing on the basketball court again.
Once defeated, Mayo seemed to be a little overwhelmed.
Sean has been practicing here, but it wasn't until the media interviewed Mayo that he found out that Sean was here and interviewed Sean by the way.
"Unlike other draft-picks, Mr. Sean hasn't expressed interest in any teams, or draft rumors, what does Sean think about this?"
Sean:
"The draft is their thing, I'm only responsible for playing, and now I still need to practice, so I'm here, and as for the draft, I'm sure the team that chose me will be proud of that choice."
"What do you think of Mayo, the heart of USC's future?"
Sean:
"There's no doubt that Mayo is a talented player, he has everything a genius should have, but what he lacks most right now is hard work and fighting spirit. Every NCAA player is still some way away from the NBA's main players, stars and superstars, and he must work harder to do the best he can. ā
In an interview, Sean did not deliberately belittle Mayo, but praised and encouraged him.
In terms of strength, if Sean hadn't increased his shooting ability during this period, he would not be Mayo's opponent, and Mayo's comprehensive strength is definitely a very top-notch superstar in the NCAA.
It's just that Mayo's personality and attitude don't make Sean agree.
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
On this day, Sean had just finished practicing when he received a strange phone call.
Sean's phone number is confidential and no one knows about it except friends and family. After answering, a trembling and timid voice came from the phone.
"Hello, this is Jeremy Forest."
"Lin, what's wrong?" Sean held the basketball and walked over and over again.
On the other end of the phone, Jeremy Lin asked with a sense of hope, "Sean, I don't know if you can help me tell me, I want to play in USC." ā
"Huh? Have you yet to find the right school? ā
