Chapter 446: Bad News!!

The substitution was over, the game continued, and Mayo was actually a genius, O.J. Mayo began his high school basketball career at Rose Mountain Christ High School in Ashland, Kentucky. In seventh grade, Mayo averaged 23.1 points per game for the varsity team. In eighth grade, he averaged 20.5 points per game. He led the team to the Ohio State Championship two years in a row, and he was also named the State Basketball Man. In 2007, he chose to return to his hometown of Huntington High School. On March 17, 2007, Mayo scored a triple-double of 41 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists to lead Huntington High School to a 103-61 victory over South Charleston High School to win the third consecutive interstate league title. In high school, Mayo averaged 29 points, nine rebounds and six assists per game.

It can be said that in high school, O.J. Mayo was the focus of the United States, and his ball skills were once considered the strongest high school student after James, but due to league regulations, Mayo entered the University of Southern California after graduating from high school in May 2007. In the NCAA round of 64 to the round of 32, Mayo's USC was eliminated by Michael Beasley's Kansas State University. In his sophomore year, Mayo decided to run for the NBA.

Unfortunately, he was not able to bring out his talent after coming to the NBA, but because of personality problems, so he has not been able to integrate into the team, on January 3, 2011, O.J. Mayo and Tony Allen got into a fight on the team's plane, and the fuse of the matter was that the two had an argument in a poker game and money issues. The team did not make a decision on what to do with the two. On January 28, 2011, O.J. Mayo was banned for 10 games by the league for taking the banned drug DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) during a drug test sampled by the league.

As a result, because of this incident, the Grizzlies completely gave up O.J. Mayo, and in the summer of '12, Mayo did not receive a contract from the Grizzlies, so he finally joined the Mavericks. This year in the Mavericks is also a year of Mayo's reform, this year he played in full attendance, averaging 15.3 points, 3.5 rebounds and 4.4 assists in 35.6 minutes per game, and ranked 25th in the league in total three-point shooting on the three-point shooting list, averaging 1.7 three-pointers per game.

Because of this outstanding performance, Mayo was favored by the Bucks at the end of the season and brought to the Bucks with a 3-year contract of 24 million, but because Mayo's style of play has gradually been fixed, the Bucks did not regard him as an object of training, but as an instant combat force. Last season, they gradually eliminated Mayo from the starting line-up and pressed him to the bench, and a pride of the '08 class slowly sank like this. Fortunately, the coach the Bucks found was Kidd, who had helped Mayo a lot when he was with the Mavericks, so this unruly genius was able to stay on the bench without making any trouble.

Mayo's performance on the bench is also relatively good, so he gradually found some of his position in the team, after being replaced, O.J-Mayo immediately showed a different side from ordinary substitutes, in the face of Ye Xuan's defense, Mayo came up with a flash of inspiration, and pulled the ball back after a change of direction, directly shaking Ye Xuan away, after shaking Ye Xuan, Mayo did not rush to shoot, but a step back to the three-point line, and steadily shot a three-pointer, Halted the Bucks' decline.

was easily shaken away by the opponent, Ye Xuan was naturally very unconvinced, so he immediately controlled the ball and came to the front court to continue his singles, this time it was no longer Middleton defending Ye Xuan, but Mayo defending Ye Xuan, because Mayo performed very well when defending tall point guards, so Kidd also wanted to see how he performed in the face of Ye Xuan.

After Ye Xuan came to the front court, he found that it was Mayo who came to defend himself, and he was naturally secretly happy in his heart, so he decisively made a gesture to ask his teammates to pull away, and let himself play alone, after his teammates pulled away, Ye Xuan's side began to start, continuous crotch dribbling, and then directly wanted to kill like an inside line, obviously preparing to use his body to force the opponent, but Mayo had nothing else, that is, the lower plate was very stable, Ye Xuan forcibly squeezed twice and did not pass the opponent, and his center of gravity was almost lost, so he quickly passed the ball to Solomon Hill and passed it. Then get the basketball back again and start playing again.

This time Ye Xuan is not ready to continue to forcibly break through, since we can't rely on the body, then we rely on technology, facing Mayo again, Ye Xuan started to dribble in fancy without mercy, suddenly accelerated, and then pulled back, changed direction, and increased again, the large change of direction really shook the opponent away, and after successfully shaking the opponent away, Ye Xuan decisively killed the opponent's penalty area, although the opponent's inner line was guarded by Greg Monroe, However, Ye Xuan ended the attack with a stop-and-go throw before the opponent had time to step forward to interfere.

Under Ye Xuan's singles, the Pacers quickly dominated the court, and when the game played for nine minutes in the first quarter, the Pacers made personnel adjustments again, replacing Ye Xuan and Pickle Pepper and Tyson Chandler, Smith, Rondo and Marcinmi. At this point, the Pacers led their opponent by six points.

After Ye Xuan was replaced, the Pacers suddenly lost their offensive strength, and the opponent's defensive ability directly made the Pacers' bench lineup, which has always been very trusted, unable to find a way to score, but fortunately, the opponent couldn't hold out for long, so he replaced the main players to rest, otherwise the Pacers' 6-point advantage was not enough to consume, Rao is so, the opponent still used the rotation time difference to smooth out the difference when the first quarter was over with one minute left.

At the end of the first quarter of the game, a three-pointer from Smith temporarily led the opponent by three points, but the good news is that the opponent's main players have at least two minutes more than Ye Xuan and Pickled Pepper, so that if the opponent still wants to rotate with him, his physical strength is bound to slowly become problematic, the Pacers have actually been like this for several games now, the main force will stabilize the game, and then the benches will start to open up the difference, no way, Who called the Pacers' bench lineup too flashy.

At the beginning of the second quarter of the game, the Pacers still played on the bench, and the same was true for the Bucks, but the battle between the benches is estimated to be no team other than the Warriors to defeat the Pacers, and Rondo is just restrained by Mayo in terms of technical characteristics, Mayo has an advantage when defending tall point guards, but his movement speed is slower, so it is a little difficult to face the flexible Rondo.

Only 1 and a half minutes into the opening game, the Pacers directly played a wave of 7:2 under the leadership of Rondo, and directly opened the point difference, this time Kidd was also a little anxious, what he was most afraid of was that the opponent suddenly broke out and killed the suspense of the game, so he decisively called a timeout, replaced Mayo, and replaced McCarvey, but they didn't expect that the opponent directly replaced Ye Xuan and Pickled Pepper at this time, and they were replaced together. And Jordan Hill.

The Pacers' lineup instantly became a lineup that was not much different from their starting lineup, except for the center on the inside who became Masinmy, the other four were all starters in this game. Now the Bucks are a little embarrassed, facing the Pacers' bench is playing a little hard, where is the Pacers' main opponent, so after the offense, McCarvey decisively stepped forward to make a tactical foul, allowing Kidd to find an opportunity to replace the main players in advance.

It has become a duel between the main forces again, but the Pacers have an 8-point lead on their side, and they also have the ball, so they play very easily, although the Bucks want to close the score, but the baskets of the main players are not particularly accurate, so they can still only use two-point shots to chase points, but the efficiency of chasing two-point shots is a little too low, and sometimes chasing and chasing is also a three-point rush by Ye Xuan or Pickled Pepper, so the Bucks are also very uncomfortable.

And Coach Frank's substitution strategy is also beginning to bear fruit, with about 5 minutes left in the second quarter of the game, he replaced Masimmi and Rondo with Shambaugh, and Smith This time the Pacers are equivalent to changing the lineup again, Jordan Hill is on the center position, and Pickle Pepper is playing as the power forward, the Pacers suddenly changed their faces, playing a big four small fast break lineup.

This lineup is actually not particularly easy to play against the Bucks, but Frank Vogel is obviously also playing high, directly in the second quarter began to experiment with tactics, and the Pacers players obviously did not disappoint the head coach, even this lineup, still use their three-point shooting rate to stalemate with the opponent.

The first half of the game ended quickly, and the Pacers were unable to continue to widen the gap in the second half of the second quarter, but they did not let the opponent recover the difference, so they still led the opponent by 9 points into the halftime break. At halftime, the Pacers' internal atmosphere was really much better, and when Smith joked, everyone laughed.

The second half of the game began quickly, after the fierce battle in the first half, the momentum of the two teams in the second half is still unabated, after the Bucks backcourt serve, directly controlled by Brother Alphabet through the half, and then called Greg Monroe to help block and dismantle, after the blocking, Brother Alphabet passed the pickled pepper, and then passed the ball to the ball after the blocking, followed by Brother Alphabet to run to the inside Monroe, who wanted to force a three-step attack after receiving the ball, but was fanned out by the boxing king in the air with a ruthless hat, Ye Xuan on the outside just picked up this rebound.

After picking up the rebound, Ye Xuan did not hesitate, and rushed directly towards the opponent's half, McCarvey and Brother Alphabet chased back frantically, but Ye Xuan finally seized the opportunity to have a chance to score in a sports battle, how could he give up casually, when he rushed to a step outside the three-point line, Ye Xuan decisively threw the ball directly to the opponent's rebound, and then jumped up in two steps and grabbed the basketball in the air. In the air, he took advantage of the short time he grabbed the basketball to adjust his state, and then pressed the ball directly into the basket without waiting for the landing, and Brother Alphabet and McCarvey could only watch Ye Xuan show a good show of self-throwing and self-dunking in front of them.

But looking back, Monroe, who was hatted just now, was also very unconvinced, and immediately forced a back hit on the inside to ask for the ball, and with color, it is not that Monroe can do whatever he wants on the inside of the Pacers, but because this offensive boxing champion is a little distracted, and this is how it is when he is older, and his performance is not particularly stable.

The Pacers served in the backcourt, after Rondo controlled the ball and came to the frontcourt, he waved his hand to call Ye Xuan to help block and dismantle, Ye Xuan stepped forward to block and dismantle, thinking that after blocking and dismantling, he quickly pulled away and then prepared to ambush on the outside and wait for Rondo to pass, but after successfully blocking McCarvey, Ye Xuan hit McCarvey's body directly as soon as he started, and the two suddenly rolled to the ground.

After Rondo's side finished blocking and dismantling, he saw Ye Xuan fall to the ground, so he didn't choose to pass the ball, but threw the ball directly, and then immediately ran to Ye Xuan's side to ask about the situation. Ye Xuan didn't feel anything at first, but when his teammates were about to pull him up, he knew something was wrong, and the pain from his knee told him that his injury seemed to have recurred.

The audience at the scene suddenly lost their voices, after all, Ye Xuan is the absolute main force of his team, if he is injured, the team's performance will inevitably be affected. The team doctor of the Pacers team also immediately ran up to check Ye Xuan's injury, and after a brief look, the team doctor shook his head, saying that this needs to go to the hospital for further examination to be clear, so Ye Xuan is destined to not be able to finish this game. Ye Xuan was carried out by the team doctor of his own team, and McCarvey, who collided with Ye Xuan, is not feeling well now, judging from the slow motion of the scene, it is obvious that both of them want to run after the blocking, but they collided together, and it happened that Ye Xuan's injured left knee hit McCarvey's right knee, and both of them are estimated to have been injured.

Seeing an inadvertent collision, which caused the main defenders of both teams to be injured and went off the field, the fans at the scene also felt very uncomfortable, especially Ye Xuan, his left knee was the reason why he missed the finals last season, and now if he is injured for the second time, he doesn't know if he can recover perfectly. The audience at the scene could only pray that Ye Xuan would survive this injury.
