Chapter 40: Who Is the Genius (I)

Mayo is truly a genius. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

At the age of eleven, Mayo was dug up by the media and became a well-known junior high school student in the United States, and later after entering high school, Mayo led three high schools to win the state championship for the first time in history and became the cover character of many basketball media magazines. And the last person to do that was LeBron James.

Many expect Mayo to be in the top five if he participates in the draft this year.

But Mayo didn't make it to the draft and made a surprise choice to join USC.

USC isn't a basketball powerhouse.

It was a surprising choice, and even though Sean was practicing in the arena, he heard Nick Young say that there was a lot of media speculation that Mayo had accepted a bribe from USC.

As we all know, Mayo's family was difficult when he was a child. This speculation is widely accepted.

Sean ignored these things and still practiced his skills in the arena, although there was no confrontation, but for Sean, it still means a lot to practice alone.

Bang bang bang!

On the indoor basketball court of the USC Trojans, Sean practices quietly.

Until a certain moment, Sean noticed a man walking in at the door with a ball.

Sean glanced at it, didn't care, and continued to practice wholeheartedly, the basketball was like a guided missile, drilling into the basket from outside the three-point line again and again.

Until one of them, a voice sounded beside him:

"Hey, man, it's not okay to practice like this, why don't you have a bullfight?"

Sean turned around after throwing the basketball, and the person who spoke was none other than Mayo, who Sean had known during the last tryout, but after looking at Mayo, Sean shook his head:

"No, it's not long before you're playing in the NCAA, and there's a lot of opportunities."

Mayo shrugged his shoulders and practiced on the sidelines.

Sean glanced at Mayo a few times, Mayo was very unserious about practicing on the side, looking very casual, not caring at all, it seemed that practicing was a painful habit for Mayo.

In the afternoon, Nick Young and Gabe arrived to practice together.

Sean continued to practice quietly until he remembered the sound of an argument next to him.

"Fuck, are you looking for a fight?" Nick Young roared, wanting to rush up and fight with Mayo, but Mayo was not ambiguous, the two pushed twice and almost fought, and at the critical moment, Gabe stood in the middle and stopped the two.

Sean couldn't stand it anymore, walked over, and shouted:

"Hey, two idiots, you think you're so good, you don't have to practice, do you? If you think you're good enough, try it out with me. ”

Sean had a cold face, startling Nick Young, who pursed his lips and didn't say anything.

In fact, Nick Young and Sean have bullfought many times, when Sean first entered the team, Nick Young had an advantage every time, but soon Sean slowly moved back to the disadvantage, and the advantage became bigger and bigger, after the NCAA knockout round, the two fought bulls again, and Nick Young was brutally abused.

"Oh? Are you willing to fight with me? Very good. ”

The corners of Mayo's mouth cracked, revealing a smile of searching, looking as if he was the number one in the world, and everyone else was like a rookie, seeing this expression, Nick Yang was angry again.

"Fuck off, you're not the boss of the Trojans yet."

Although Nick Young is not as good as Mayo, he does not admit defeat at all, Sean is the boss, and Nick Young is slowly convinced, but Mayo is the boss, and Nick Young is not convinced.

Communication between people is a complicated thing, in Nick Young's eyes, Sean is a hard-working, respected, well-treated, and leader-like boss, while Mayo is a brain-dead.

Of course, Nick Young never felt like he was brain-dead.

Mayo's mouth cracked, and he pointed his finger at Sean and nodded:

"I've always wanted to compete with you, it's said that you have a high draft pick this year, I want to see how good the star players used to be at USC, Nick Young is average, I hope you don't let me down."

This expression and movement made Sean's face cold.

"Since you're going to fight bulls, come on, high school students, the NCAA is not as simple as you think, it seems that before you enter the NBA, I want to teach you how to be a human being."

Sean walked to the middle of the court, threw the ball to Mayo, and then took a defensive stance.

Mayo gets the ball, slaps it, and smiles confidently.

The next moment, Mayo dribbled low, and then broke through on the right side, Mayo's speed was not slow, and he was good enough in high school students, but high school and college are two different concepts.

There are tens of thousands of high school students in the United States every year, but less than half of them can become stars after entering the NCAA, and one in ten of these half will eventually hope to enter the NBA.

Mayo is good enough among high school students, but his speed is slower than Sean's.

Sean easily blocked the breakthrough.

Mayo broke through with a crotch and was blocked by Sean again.

Sean watched the Mayo trial game, and in the past few days, Mayo has not improved in the slightest, and he is not even in a very good state.

Mayo's breakthrough was basically based on strength and speed, and the technique was not very good.

In the NCAA, there are many breakthroughs that can surpass Mayo, so Mayo's breakthrough is not good.

The two breakthroughs were blocked, Mayo frowned slightly, and then accelerated to break through on the right side again, only this time Mayo did not hold back and went on a rampage.

Relying on the strength of the tank to break through, the purest move in the NBA is LeBron James, followed by Wade.

The power of the Flash Wade is outstanding among guards, and the power of LeBron is almost invincible among small forwards.

These two people break through many times by using their power to sweep directly.

Many people think that their breakthrough is not skillful, in fact, although it is not as complicated as breaking through with rhythm, this kind of breakthrough itself is also very skillful, and it is also a very clever strategy to break through with force. There are many strong players in the NBA, but there are very few people who can really break through like this.

Mayo's breakthrough skills are very average, even if he breaks through with strength, it only makes Sean a little uncomfortable.

For more than a year, Sean has not deliberately exercised his strength.

But practicing dribbling, shooting and other skills is a kind of exercise in itself, and the muscles in the body are much stronger than a year ago.

Mayo bumped into him, and Sean retreated slightly, but didn't completely lose his position.

Sean has undergone a metamorphosis this year, and compared to physical talent, Sean is not inferior to Mayo, or even stronger.

Mayo's breakthrough was blocked, and he wanted to jump up and shoot directly, but an embarrassing scene appeared, Mayo's shot was too slow, and Sean stepped forward to reach out to interfere and used his height advantage to touch the ball.

Mayo is 190 tall, nearly 10 centimeters lower than Sean, and this height difference Sean has a big defensive shooting advantage.

On the first ball, Sean defended.

Mayo didn't score, his face changed, and his expression became much more solemn.

Back in midfield, Sean attacked.
