Reverse Growth Superstar
: Eighty-six: This is going to start again
When Link arrived at the Federal Express Arena, a large number of reporters had already gathered at the entrance of the Arena.
In the past two days, the Grizzlies are really eye-catching. As a relatively unpopular team, their popularity in the past two days is estimated to catch up with the Los Angeles Lakers. However, the management of the Grizzlies certainly don't want the team to attract attention in this way.
Mingming Mayo and Tony Allen's fight on the plane has not subsided. Now Mayo has been exposed to taking banned drugs. The reporters are most interested in these messy things, and the Grizzlies just don't want to be popular now.
When they came to the training hall, the security guards outside the training hall were trying their best to stop the reporters who came to interview. Link passed through the reporters, and naturally many reporters asked him questions.
"How much do you know about Mayo taking the drug?"
"Link, do you think this is related to the conflict between him and Tony Allen?"
"How do you think Mayo will be punished? Will he be suspended?"
A bunch of questions floated past Link's ear, but he actually wanted to know the answers to these questions.
After Link walked into the training hall, the atmosphere in the training hall was very calm. Everyone is warming up in an orderly manner, preparing for training, as if it was the same as usual.
The only difference is that Mayo and head coach Lionel Hollins are not on the training ground. Through the window of the head coach's office, three people can be vaguely seen. In other words, team general manager Chris Wallace may also be discussing this matter with Mayo.
"Are there many people outside?" Randolph stepped up and greeted Link.
"There have never been so many." Link tilted his head.
"I only learned about it this morning. Coach Hollins asked me to tell everyone to come to the training hall first, so as not to be entangled by the reporters. Boy Mayo, really..." Randolph shook After shaking his head, as a big brother who has been with Mayo for a long time, Randolph can actually see that Mayo is very talented.
His downside is that his height hasn't grown much since he was 14 years old, so his dominance has gradually decreased. There is also that after entering the league, the mind is not entirely on basketball, and the training is not hard.
Now that so many things are happening in a row, Randolph looks distressed. After all, he had walked these crooked roads before.
"How did the league know that Mayo was taking the drug?" Link didn't think so much, he knew he was still very curious about the whole thing.
"The league regularly checks some players for urine tests every once in a while, and Mayo happened to be found out. He took dehydroepiandrosterone and overdose. The league has strict drug control, uh...say To be honest, I have never suffered from this loss before."
"DHEA?" Link looked dumbfounded, "What the hell!?"
"Just... how do you put it? An ordinary stimulant, but not for competition, but directly related to human sex. To put it bluntly, that guy should have eaten Chunyao. "
"..." Link was speechless, co-authoring Mayo this guy is taking medicine for this matter. There was a reason why black people were so capable.
"Wait?" Link suddenly realized something was wrong, "Zach, why are you so good at it?"
When Link raised his head to ask Randolph, the **** bear had already whistled and left without hearing. Link shook his head. This guy deserves to be the backbone of Portland's "Prison Team" in the past. No one understands these dark sides of the NBA better than Randolph.
But Link is really curious, why Randolph, who was about to be destroyed before, is so behaved when he gets to the Grizzlies? Although he and Randolph have been teammates for so long, this is still an unsolved mystery.
Link also asked Randolph this question, and Randolph's answer to Link was: "Keep staying with the Grizzlies, you will naturally find the reason."
Watching Randolph pick up the basketball and start warming up, Link didn't continue to waste time. The Grizzlies are in big trouble. At this time, it is even more important for the rest of the team to maintain their composure and state.
In the afternoon, the league officially issued an announcement stating that Mayo is taking banned drugs and he will be suspended for 10 games in accordance with league regulations.
Don’t think that a 10-game suspension is not painful for players. All the wages for these 10 games will be deducted. According to calculations, Mayo will lose more than $400,000 during the 10-game suspension.
For Mayo, this is undoubtedly a major blow. Obviously, fighting with Tony Allen was only banned for 5 games, and now it’s fine, 5 games have been directly changed to 10 games, and it is also known to everyone.
Link is a close watch on what it means if you don’t die or you won’t die. If you don’t use your talents, you can buy something to eat in spring...What kind of brain circuits are these old blacks?
After the league announced the penalty decision, the Grizzlies officially helped Mayo hold a press conference. Needless to say, the content of the conference is naturally some explanation from Mayo.
At the press conference, Mayo stated that he had taken an over-the-counter supplement to cause the drug test to be positive. He himself did not know that the drug was strictly prohibited by the alliance.
"This is indeed a mistake, but I will be responsible for my own actions. Here I apologize to my fans, and also to my teammates and the Grizzlies senior team, because I have not been careful with such drugs before. I just ate the research. I was extremely disappointed that I was suspended for 10 games."
Mayo at the press conference is quite sincere, but think about it and know how can a professional athlete eat these things indiscriminately. Can’t you ask the team doctor if you don’t know if you can eat it?
At this point, the image of the Grizzlies has once again become extremely degenerate. Memphis is the city with the highest crime rate in the United States. Well, the Grizzlies seem to have become synonymous with "criminals" and "difficult to discipline."
If the NBA is a class, then the Memphis Grizzlies are undoubtedly the bad boy in this class and the negative textbook in everyone's eyes. Especially after Mayo's two consecutive incidents, the Grizzlies' image plummeted.
In this regard, Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace also has a headache. He didn't make too many statements on recent events, but said lightly that the Grizzlies will be strictly controlled. After all, this kind of thing is usually more and more dark.
And these days, the number of Grizzlies participating in community activities has increased a lot. Things like visiting children in the orphanage, cleaning the streets, and such things are all on the agenda. There is no doubt that the Grizzlies want to save face and image as much as possible.
But these are not the most troublesome~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The most troublesome thing is, after O.J. Mayo was suspended for 10 games, who should replace him in the starting position?
Lionel Hollins thought about it for a long time in the office, and he had Tony Allen and Link on hand.
With Tony Allen starting, the defense will definitely be better, but the offense will be a lot more urgent. Mayo has a range anyway. If Tony Allen starts, who will make room for the black and white bears?
As for Link, he shoots more steadily than Mayo. Although his athleticism is not good at the second position, he fits the Grizzlies' slow-paced game style. Although the defense is not as good as Tony Allen, it is also above average. As for Link's ability to play multiple positions, Hollins thinks it should be cultivated early.
Thinking about it, Hollins decided. The last time Link played the starter, Guy was so scared that he was chasing him to come back. Until now, Guy is playing with protective gear on his shoulders. I hope this time, Link can continue his excellent performance.
So that afternoon, before the start of the confrontational training, Hollins announced in front of the whole team, including Mayo, who would start the second position in the next few games.
"Anyway, I need you to try it, Link." This is what Hollins said. He needs Link.
Finally, Mayo's precarious starting position was robbed. Thinking of that night, I worked madly all night. It was ecstasy at the time, but in the end it was not worth the gain.
This starting position is entirely his own.
Link nodded at his coach with a smile, "I will try my best."
once again got a chance to start, and this time Mayo even wanted to come back to the league and not allowed.
In that case, Brother Mayo, then I'm not welcome.
