One Guard

At the end of the game, the electronic buzzer sounded throughout the audience. Kobe Bryant raised his right fist under the overwhelming boos of the Mavericks fans!

7 wins and 7 losses! The Los Angeles Lakers achieved a hard-earned victory at the American Airlines Center! Now every victory in the game is very precious to the Lakers.

"It's incredible. In the opening game of this season, we didn't expect the Mavericks to win, but the Mavericks won. Today, we thought the Lakers would lose, but the Lakers didn't lose. It seems that Carlisle's team just doesn't like to follow the rules. Play your cards. Look at Kobe's excited expression. Even he knows very well in his heart how incredible the victory in this game is." Barkley shook his head. He had hoped to see the pair of Mayo and Yiyang today. The combination of the team's style and style, but little did they know that what greeted the Mavericks today would be such an ending.

"Yi scored 25 points, 8 assists, 3 rebounds and 1 steal today. His performance was as stable as ever. But the other revolver in the hands of the Dallas Cowboys seemed to be "stuck". 13 points and 3 1 rebound, 4 turnovers, and a shooting percentage of only 29%. If it was last season, Mayo's performance would not surprise me at all. But this year, I never thought that he would fall back to the bottom."

"Maybe O.J. Mayo is such a player, Kenny. The term "drive high and go low" has been used throughout Mayo's entire career! I think his honeymoon period with the Mavericks may end here. After all, he is one of the few A few NBA stars who get more gossip news than sports news."

Buckley has seen many examples of geniuses failing. If that guy from Mayo was willing to spend half of his energy on going to the nightclub and go to the training ground, he wouldn't be beaten like this by Kobe today.

After the game, Mayo took the lead into the player tunnel. But Yiyang stayed on the field and refused to leave. Kobe's performance today was actually very average, with a 42% shooting rate and 21 points. This was not Kobe's most outstanding moment.

In other words, Yiyang and the Mavericks did not lose to Kobe today, but to a teammate with a bad professional attitude!

At the press conference after the game, the small media reception room was almost bursting with reporters. This is not the first time the Mavericks have lost this season, but it is the most frustrating loss for the Mavericks.

When Yiyang and Mayo both sat down, Mu Ran no longer saw the proud smiles on the faces of the two young people. Mayo looked disdainful, as if losing a game was not worth mentioning at all. Yiyang pinched his face, giving people a feeling of rejection. What’s interesting is that Yiyang and Mayo didn’t make any eye contact, they didn’t even look at each other!

"Mr. Mayo, what caused your state to plummet in this game?" A reporter raised his hand and asked the question that everyone was eager to know the answer to.

"This is just one of the 82 regular season games. After that, I will definitely be able to find the feeling of the game again." Mayo spread his hands, and his indifferent attitude made Carlisle on the side have blue veins on his head.

"Didn't the previous series of victories make you feel happy!?" Mu Ran stood up excitedly. How could a professional player take losing so naturally?

"Of course I'm happy, but I don't want to lose either." Mayo smiled. Basketball, is it necessary to make it like a war?

"So Yi, what do you think is the biggest reason why the Mavericks lost today?" The reporters temporarily left Yi Yang aside and dug a big hole for this stable Chinese defender.

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

Yiyang glanced at Mayo, and was indeed a little angry at that guy's indifferent attitude. But he is not a fool, and it is not time to break up with Mayo directly.

"There are many reasons for losing, and everyone is responsible. We can only keep up our efforts and try not to let a losing streak happen." Yiyang's extremely official answer disappointed the reporters.

But judging from their performance at the press conference today, something must have happened to them!

So the day after the game, photos of Yiyang and Mayo's unhappy expressions when facing the camera were placed on the headlines of major news media! Carlisle, who was sitting between the two, was deleted by the media and then added a big question mark.

"Is the short peak coming to an end?" This title has become the hottest topic in the league.

Some fans think that Mayo just didn't perform well in one game and there is no need to make a fuss. Some people believe that Mayo has begun to inflate his ego again. Once this guy gets bulked up, he won't focus on basketball. Why didn't Mayo play well in the Grizzlies for four years? This is not unreasonable.

The outside world is making a fuss over the matter between Yiyang and Mayo, but Yiyang and Mayo themselves seem to have nothing happened and continue to live their lives unchanged every day.

Yiyang still insists on practicing more every day after training, while Mayo does not care about external public opinion and just plays as he should after training.

The words between Yiyang and Mayo became less and less, and they seemed to be two parallel lines. Extending forward together, they will not interfere with each other, but there will never be any intersection.

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

After Bynum was traded to Philadelphia, he announced he was out for the season without playing a game, which caused the 76ers who sent Iguodala to directly enter reconstruction mode.

The 76ers have no stars this season, and their overall strength is not strong. If Mayo wants to get back to form, today is undoubtedly a good opportunity.

After the game started, Yiyang tried his best to help Mayo on the court. But Mayo still didn't seem to find the feeling of scoring. He hit the iron again and again, allowing the 76ers to get offensive opportunities again and again.

On the defensive end, Mayo was tortured by Yiyang's defeated opponent Evan Turner. Mayo seemed a little absent-minded when defending, and the attacker could easily break through him without any fancy skills.

Whenever Yiyang and the others worked hard to defend until the 24-second shot clock was about to end, but Mayo let Turner hit the shot, there were thousands of grass-mud horses galloping in the hearts of every Mavericks player.

Even Carlisle, a good-tempered coach, was furious at Mayo's attitude. It seemed that playing well for a month was all Mayo asked of himself. A guy who obviously can become a star, but instead of working hard for it, he just settles for the status quo. This attitude towards basketball cannot be changed by the head coach with just two sentences.

In the game against the 76ers, the Mavericks played harder than expected. In the end, Carlisle relied on the dual point guard lineup of Yiyang and Darren Collison to get through. What about Mayo? 11 points, 3 turnovers and 4 rebounds, 4 of 14 shots, this is his answer.

At 4 million US dollars a year, Mayo may think that such a price is not worth his efforts. If you play well, fight. If you don't play well, it doesn't matter. Basketball is just a job.

100 to 96, the Mavericks narrowly avoided a losing streak in Philadelphia. But neither Carlisle nor the fans are happy. Mayo seemed to have lost himself again. The duo that was considered the strongest by the fans a week ago seemed to have disappeared overnight.

On November 28, the Mavericks traveled to Chicago to face the Bulls in back-to-back games. Due to Derrick Rose's injury, this originally high-profile game instantly lost its biggest attraction. There has never been an impressive game between Yiyang and Rose, the youngest MVP. It's a pity that even God doesn't give fans a chance to see it.

Without Rose and relying solely on Luol Deng to lead the team, the Bulls will naturally be unable to withstand the Mavericks' impact. Yiyang scored 34 points and 13 assists, Collison also scored 18 points, and Carlisle once again won the game with a dual point guard lineup.

After the game, Mike Breen turned the statistics of this game to the bottom and finally saw Mayo's name.

With 4 points, 3 assists and 5 rebounds, Mayo's data seems to be quite "comprehensive". What Mike Breen didn't know was that after the team arrived in Chicago overnight, Mayo did not immediately go to the hotel with the team, but left directly under the leadership of his friends. Where he went and what he did, no one knows. A person who can't even guarantee the most basic sleep, what else do you expect him to do on the court?

In the last game of November, the Mavericks ended it with a win. December, for the Mavericks, not only means the arrival of Christmas, but also means that Nowitzki is about to return from injury.

Half a month ago, people were still worried that with Mayo playing so well, Nowitzki would not have a position on the offensive end after returning.

But what people are thinking about now is whether Mayo still needs to exist after Nowitzki returns.

Just when Mayo was about to hit the bottom, on December 1, he used a team-high 27 points and a 53% shooting percentage to help the Mavericks defeat the Pistons at home! Among Yiyang's 11 assists, most of them came from Mayo!

Mavericks fans are cheering, Dallas' strongest duo finally awakens! After that difficult running-in period, the Mavericks will definitely be able to regroup and regain the No. 1 spot in the Western Conference!

However, the ink on Mayo's good reports in the newspapers had not yet dried. In the next game against the Clippers, he used a 6-point performance to bring the excited fans back to reality.

Mayo is still the same Mayo, the cynical O.J. Mayo who never puts basketball first. He is not the savior of Dallas, nor can he 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, he does not know how to apply his athletic talent to the game. Most of the time, he will choose to shoot three-pointers from the outside and wait and see whether God will reward him. Mayo seems to know everything, but he is master of nothing.

It's clear he also lacks work ethic. In the past few months with the Mavericks, he had visited all nightclubs in Dallas, but he had never seen what the training ground at the American Airlines Center looked like after 5:30 p.m. He could call out the names of the sexy girls in every nightclub, but he still couldn't remember whether his shooting coach's last name was Tony or Toby.

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

At this time, people began to miss Dirk infinitely. At least the Germans have the same goal as Yiyang.

o.j. Mayo? Forgot...that's all...
