Chapter 464: How Genius Fell

At the end of the game, the electronic beep resounded throughout the audience. Bryant raised his right hand to the overwhelming boos of the Mavericks fans!

7 wins, 7 losses! The Los Angeles Lakers have a hard-earned victory at the Center of American Routes! Winning every game now is precious to the Lakers.

"It's incredible, in the season opener, we didn't expect the Mavericks to win, and the Mavericks won. Today, we thought the Lakers would lose, but the Lakers didn't. It seems that Carlisle's side just don't like to play by common sense. Look at Kobe's excited expression, even he knows in his heart how incredible the victory in this game is. Barkley shook his head, he had hoped to see the backcourt combination of Mayo and Yiyang today, but he didn't expect to welcome the Mavericks today.

He had 25 points, 8 assists and 3 rebounds and 1 steal today, and his performance was as consistent as ever. But the other revolver in the hands of the Dallas cowboys seems to be a little "stuck". 13 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 4 turnovers, shooting just 29%. If it had been last season, I wouldn't have been surprised at all by Mayo's performance. But this year, I never thought he would fall back into the slump. ”

"Maybe O.J. Mayo is that kind of player, Kenny. The word "drive high and go low" has run through Mayo's entire career! I think his honeymoon with the Mavericks might be over. After all, he's one of the few NBA stars who has more lace news than sports news. ”

Buckley has seen many examples of the fall of genius. If that guy at Mayo was willing to spend half of his energy on the training ground to go to nightclubs, he wouldn't be beaten like Kobe Bryant today.

After the game, Mayo was the first to enter the players' tunnel. Yiyang, on the other hand, stayed on the field and refused to leave. Bryant's play today was actually pretty average, with a 42 percent shooting percentage and 21 points, which wasn't Bryant's best moment.

In other words, Yiyang and the Mavericks did not lose to Kobe Bryant today, but to a teammate who did not have a good professional attitude!

At the press conference after the game, the small media reception room was about to be broken by reporters. This isn't the first time the Mavericks have lost this season, but it's the most humiliating one the Mavericks have lost.

When Yiyang and Mayo were both seated, Mougins didn't see the smug smiles on the faces of the two young people. Mayo looked dismissive, as if losing a game was not worth mentioning at all. Yiyang pulled his face, giving people a feeling of rejection. Interestingly, Yiyang and Mayo didn't make any eye contact, and they didn't even look at each other!

"May I ask Mr. Mayo, what made your form drop this game?" A reporter raised his hand and asked the question that everyone was desperate to know the answer to.

"It's just one of 82 regular season games, and after that, I'm definitely going to be able to regain my feel for the game." Mayo spread his hands, and his indifferent attitude made Carlisle on the side bruise.

"Didn't the previous series of victories make you feel joy!?" Mougins stood up excitedly, how could a professional player take losing so seriously?

"Of course I'm happy, but I don't want to lose." Mayo smiled, basketball, is it necessary to make it the same as fighting?

"So, what do you think was the biggest reason for the Mavericks' loss today?" The reporters left Yiyang for the time being, and dug a big hole for this stable Chinese defender as soon as they came up.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the reason for the Mavericks' loss is Mayo, but if this sentence comes out of Yiyang's mouth, the effect will be completely different.

Yiyang glanced at Mayo, and Yiyang was indeed a little angry about that guy's indifferent attitude. But he's not stupid, and it's not time to tear his face directly with Mayo.

"There are many reasons for losing and everyone is responsible. We can only continue to work hard to prevent the losing streak from happening. Yiyang's extremely official answer disappointed the reporters, but judging from the performance of the two at the press conference today, something must have happened to them!

So the day after the game, the photos of Yiyang and Mayo with unhappy expressions when facing the camera were put in the headlines of major news media! Carlisle, who was sitting between the two, was knocked out by the media and then added a big question mark.

"The brief peak is coming to an end?" This title has become the hottest topic in the league.

Some fans think that Mayo just didn't play well in one game and didn't need to make a fuss. Some believe that Mayo is starting to inflate himself again. Once this guy swells up, he doesn't put his mind on basketball. Why didn't Mayo play in four years with the Grizzlies? This is not unreasonable.

The outside world is in a lot of noise because of Yiyang and Mayo's affairs, but Yiyang and Mayo themselves still insist on continuing their lives every day as if nothing has happened.

Yiyang still insists on practicing after training every day, and Mayo doesn't care about any outside public opinion, and plays when he finishes training.

There are fewer and fewer words between Yiyang and Mayo, and they are like two parallel lines. Stretch forward together, without interfering with each other, but never intersecting either.

Two days after the loss to the Lakers, the Mavericks faced a very good opponent - the 76ers, who had lost Iguodala as their backbone.

Bynum was traded to Philadelphia and announced a non-play season reimbursement, which put the 76ers who sent Iguodala directly into rebuilding mode.

The 76ers don't have many stars this season, and their overall strength is not strong. If Mayo wants to get back into form, today is a good opportunity.

After the game started, Yiyang made the ball for Mayo as much as possible on the court. But Mayo still didn't seem to find the feeling of scoring, and he hit the iron again and again, allowing the 76ers to get the opportunity to attack again and again.

Defensively, Mayo was defeated by Yiyang's men. Turner was so cruel that he couldn't find the north. Mayo seemed to be a little absent-minded defending, and the attacker didn't need much flashy skill to break through with ease.

Every time Yiyang worked hard until the end of the 24-second offensive time, and Mayo let Turner hit the shot, every Mavericks player had thousands of grass and mud horses galloping in their hearts.

Even Carlisle, a good-natured coach, was furious about Mayo's attitude, as if playing a good game for a month was already Mayo's request for himself. A guy who can obviously become a star, but instead of working hard for it, he is content with the status quo. This attitude towards basketball is not something that can be changed by a head coach with a simple sentence or two.

Against the 76ers, the Mavericks played harder than expected. In the end, Carlisle still relied on Yiyang and Darren. Collison's two-point guard lineup got away with it. What about Mayo? With 11 points, 3 turnovers and 4 rebounds, 4-of-14 shooting, that's what he delivered.

At $4 million a year, maybe Mayo doesn't think it's worth the effort. If you play well, you can fight, and it doesn't matter if you don't play well. Basketball is just a job.

100-96, the Mavericks narrowly won in Philadelphia to avoid a losing streak. But neither Carlisle nor the fans were happy. Mayo seems to have lost themselves once again, and the duo that was considered the strongest by fans a week ago seems to have disappeared overnight.

On Nov. 28, the Mavericks pounced on Chicago to face the Bulls back-to-back. Thanks to Derek. Rose was injured, and the high-profile game lost its biggest attraction in an instant. Between Yiyang and the youngest MVP, Rose, there hasn't been an impressive match. It's a pity that even God doesn't give fans a chance to see it.

Lost Rose, relying on Lore alone. Deng led the team, and the Bulls naturally couldn't withstand the onslaught of the Mavericks. Yiyang slashed 34 points and 13 assists, Collison also scored 18 points, and Carlisle once again won the game with a two-point guard lineup.

After the game, Mike. Brin flipped the game's stats to the bottom before finally seeing Mayo's name.

With 4 points, 3 assists and 5 rebounds, Mayo's statistics seem to be quite "comprehensive". Mike. What Brin didn't know was that after the team arrived in Chicago overnight last night, Mayo didn't immediately go to the hotel with the team, but left directly under the guidance of his friends. Where he went and what he did, no one knows. What else do you expect from a man who can't get even the most basic sleep on the pitch?

In the final game of November, the Mavericks closed it with a win. December for the Mavericks means not only Christmas, but also Nowitzki's imminent return from injury.

Half a month ago, there were concerns that Nowitzki would not have a place on the offensive end when he came back with such a good performance from Mayo.

But now people are thinking about whether Mayo will still have the need to exist after Nowitzki's comeback.

Just when Mayo was about to fall into a trough, on December 1, he used a team-high 27 points and a 53% shooting rate to help the Mavericks beat the Pistons at home! And most of Yiyang's 11 assists were on Mayo!

Mavericks fans are cheering as Dallas' strongest duo finally awakens! After that arduous run-in period, the Mavericks will definitely be able to regroup and regain the No. 1 position in the West!

However, the ink of good newspaper coverage of Mayo has not yet dried, and he brought the excited fans back to reality with a six-point performance in the next game against the Clippers.

Mayo is still the same Mayo, the cynical O.J. Mayo who never puts basketball first. He is not the savior of Dallas, and it is impossible for him to form the strongest duo with Yiyang.

He's not a smart player and can't create space for others to shoot. He is not a very good dribbler, although he has athletic talent, but he does not know how to apply athletic talent to the game, more often he will choose to float on the outside to shoot three-pointers, and then see if God rewards him or not. Mayo seems to know everything, but she doesn't know anything.

It's clear that he also lacks a work ethic. In the past few months with the Mavericks, he has visited all the nightclubs in Dallas, but he has never seen the training ground at the American Route Center Arena after half past five in the afternoon. He can call out the names of sexy girls in every nightclub, but he still can't remember if his shooting coach is surnamed Tony or Toby.

The short-lived Mayo is destined to sink in the long river of time, although Yiyang is still strong, but the shortcomings of the Mavericks' lineup cannot be made up for by Yiyang alone.

At this point, people began to miss Dirk infinitely. At least the Germans are completely consistent with Yiyang in terms of goals.

O.J. Mayo? Forgot...... That's it......
