Chapter 118: Pit Mayo
~
Yang Yi holds the ball and faces Mayo.
Even when the fat man switched to defend Carter when he was on defense, Mayo still followed him closely on the defensive end. The fat man was a little surprised at first, but after a little thought, he understood that the Mavericks were planning to let the faster Mayo limit his three-point shots.
After all, with his three-point shooting percentage at a high rate, the entire half becomes his own range, and it is difficult to limit himself without a player who is a little faster to follow him.
After thinking about it, the fat man smiled at Mayo indifferently, his smile was very sincere and gentle, and his entire front teeth were leaking out. But in Mayo's eyes, it completely changed, due to personality reasons, the fat man laughed and gave Mayo the feeling of being a ruffian, not a serious one, which made Mayo feel despised and despised.
Although he didn't mix very well, he was also the predecessor of the fat man, and the contempt of the fat man made him very angry, and the consequences were very serious!
"Boy, don't try to bypass my defenses." Mayo gritted his teeth and said hatefully.
"Huh!" Regarding Mayo's ignorant statement, Yang Yi didn't want to pay attention to it at all. Do you need to bypass his defenses? If you hit it directly, you will be crushed over, so why bother to rush it! Carrying Mayo to the inside line was completely effortless.
Of course, these are all ways to do it when there is no way, and now that he can shoot his three points casually, why do you need to break through his defense.
The fat man walked to the three-point line with the ball, and Anderson wanted to come over to cover him, but he waved his hand and refused, he wanted to see how Mayo could stop him from putting the ball in the basket!
When he was still one step away from the three-point line, Yang Yi stopped moving forward. He glanced at Mayo in front of him, raised his hand and prepared to throw the three points in his hand.
However, at the moment when Mayo jumped, he suddenly changed his mind, and he planned to trick Mayo and let Mayo know how strong he was to say how big. Otherwise, it wouldn't be nice if it flashed to the tongue!
Originally, Mayo was going to give the fat man a dismount. The fat man's shooting point is very low compared to other three-point shooters, after all, Curry-style three-point shooters don't need to jump too high, as long as there is room to shoot.
Although Mayo was a step or so away from the fat man, his excellent bounce helped him a lot. After jumping up, he completely blocked the fat man's shot route, and if the fat man wanted not to be blocked by him, he had to forcibly raise the shot point. But can you still hit the basket with your shot point up?
The player's shooting point is relatively fixed, which is a conditioned reflex made after thousands of exercises. Once the shot point is forcibly raised, the hit rate will definitely be miserable. But in this way, Mayo's goal has been achieved, as long as the fat man's goal does not score, then this defense is his victory!
However, when he jumped to the highest point, he found that Yang Yi's ball was not shot, but was held firmly in his hand. And the fat man is smiling at him with a ball in one hand!
"Damn, the One is too cunning! Mayo was completely teased by him in the palm of his hand. Carter, who was pestering Gordon, thought to himself.
And the rest of the Mavericks were also dumbfounded as Mayo jumped up and was leaned into by Yang Yi, in their eyes, Mayo's defense was not wrong at all. Because Yang Yi's three points really have to be defended, as long as he is one step slower, he may throw the ball into the basket.
It's not that my generation is incompetent, it's that the fat man is too cunning! The other Mavericks players sighed to themselves. At the same time, the fat man's behavior also reminded them that when guarding against the fat man's three points, they must also guard against his yin tricks at any time. Otherwise, just like Mayo now, he will fall into the pit in a daze.
Yang Yi leaned in when Mayo began to fall and had nowhere to borrow. Of course, he didn't throw the ball out casually after leaning in, but leaned on Mayo to avoid the cover of his hands, and steadily launched the marksman's exclusive skill to throw the ball out.
Swish!
As luck would have it, the ball left the fat man's hand and bounced into the basket after a short flight in the air, hitting his head on the rebound.
Beep!
At the same time, the referee's whistle blew! 3+1, the fat man scored four points successfully, and let Mayo carry a foul shortly after the opening.
The Dallas cowboy fans scolded Mayo for making such a mistake in the opening stanza. Of course, there are those who scold Mayo, but more often than not, they put the blame on the fat man, who called him so cunning!
"Mayo's stupid, can't he see that this is a deliberate trap set by The One?" Mavericks fans complained.
"If only Collison wouldn't have made such a low-level mistake, Collison is much more mature than him, I have set expectations for him, and his performance has disappointed me too much." The fan next to him continued. In his mind, Darren Collison is better than Mayo. However, the team's head coach Rick Carlisle has put Collison as the team's sixth man, and they can't say anything, after all, the head coach has his own ideas.
"It's not to blame Mayo, it's the one guy who is too cunning, and the stars who broke their wings under his trick before are not one or two, even the supergiant can't be avoided, Mayo is forgivable for making mistakes, we can't blame him too much!" Some fans defended Mayo and pointed out that it was the cunning of the fat man that made Mayo fool.
"I think the team should apply Jordan's rule to The One, Mayo can't stop him alone, and his three-point shooting is extremely accurate. Even after leaning on Mayo, he can still maintain a stable shot, and his hand shape has not changed, and his strength is terrifying. ”
"Even if you leave the opportunity to the other players of the Hornets, you can't leave it to the one, we have to keep both players with him."
Regarding Mayo's foul, the Mavericks head coach could only sigh on the sidelines and did nothing. Mayo's actions are not wrong, the fault is that Yang Yi's little guy has a pair of big hands that ordinary players can't reach. Obviously, the ball was about to fly out, but he was caught back, don't blame him for blaming anyone!
And if Mayo doesn't stop it, there's a good chance that the little fat man's ball will easily get into the basket. This is Carlisle's conclusion after carefully watching Yang Yi's last few games, if there are three points in the open position, Yang Yi's shooting rate is more than 60 percent, which is no different from the shooting rate of ordinary interior players.
Mayo was fouled, and he felt a little uncomfortable, and it can be said that he failed in the opening two defenses.
The first time the fat man easily pushed him inside, Carter gave up Gordon in order to help defend, and Gordon easily got Yang Yi's nanny-style assist; The second time was a three-point hit by the fat man, and he also carried a foul. It's only been less than a minute since the opening! If he does it again, he will have to take a break, otherwise he will not be guaranteed to play in the next game!
Yang Yi and Mayo's mood is the opposite, he can make a foul on Mayo at the beginning of the game makes him feel very comfortable, and Mayo will definitely be restrained in the next defense, not daring to get too close to him, if he fouls once, he will have to rest obediently.
Therefore, when standing at the free throw line, even if the Dallas fans interfered loudly, the fat man still calmed down and scored the ball steadily.
In fact, free throws are a technical job, in addition to certain requirements for skills, the psychological quality must be passed, otherwise even a marksman will miss the ball!
After the fat man scored the ball, it meant that he scored four points in an offensive round, and the dazzling 6:2 on the score display on the scene told all the fans that their interference had no effect, but only added momentum to the fat man and the Hornets!
