Chapter 85 The Guy Wearing No. 23
Shake, wobble, wobble.

The ball was swiped out of Deron's hand, and he turned back depressed to catch up, but suddenly found that the undefeated Lowry, who was supposed to ride the ball, staggered and fell to the ground...

It's hard now... Ron was in a panic...

Some people were astonished, and most of them breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the man wearing the red Rockets jersey number 7 was just a normal person.

He asked the referee for a short timeout of 20 seconds, and then got up bumpy, wobbly...

Soon Scola and Jordan Hill helped him out from the sidelines. Under his stubborn expression, he was still annoyed that he could not complete a game normally...

"I'm sorry! Everyone, the next thing is up to you!" Lowry said, his eyes sparkling...

"Rest with peace of mind!" Mayo stood up from the bench again with a solemn expression...

For some reason, he suddenly thought of a man wearing the No. 23 jersey and the story about him in this city of devils.

In fact, before the start of the game, Jazz coach Jerry Sloan stated that he would return Mayo to his original form.

Indeed, Mayo is still arrogant and domineering on the field. Unfortunately, he only scored 16 points, but it took 24 shots to do so.

At halftime, Sloan said: "I'm not worried that a second-year player will cause us much trouble in the second half. Well, I don't deny that he is a good seed, but you know, I never believe in individual heroism. Maybe he should make more efforts to make full use of the characteristics of a team player. Maybe that will give me more headaches..."

Ronnie Brewer and Wesley Matthews of the Jazz took turns defending Mayo throughout the game, and they defended quite hard. Their strong physical confrontation almost instantly made Mayo lose all desire for the game. Although he took 24 shots, only 16 points were scored.

Obviously, the Utah people refused to stage a magical moment for this popular late star. Although there was once a guy with the same back code as him, which brought disaster to this city, after all, he is very different from the real owner of No. 23 in people's hearts, "God of Basketball" Jordan.

Sometimes playing well and badly, there are always some excuses to cover up.

Due to the uncomfortable environment and various other reasons in this game, in addition to lack of physical strength, Houston's head star OJ-Mayo also accidentally injured his finger, plus the gastroenteritis caused by the overnight alcohol, which can be described as a combination of injuries.

As the most loyal supporter of the Flying Man, he should remember that Michael Jordan suffered from food poisoning and flu in Salt Lake City more than 10 years ago, and the whole body collapsed...

But he still scored 40 points in the environment of boos and abuse, and by the way, he slapped those guys who dared to question him, and took the victory away.

This is a miracle that can only be imitated but not surpassed...

But Mayo felt a nameless flame beating in his heart...

However, if the game is over now, Mayo, who is tired and sick, has not been able to replicate the magic of his predecessors. In the end, he made 24 of 6 shots and only scored 16 points. He also ruined his 19-point advantage in the final quarter, plus the hard-won two-game winning streak...

OH-MY-GOD!

unimaginable…

It's just that there is a voice that has been lingering in his heart, giving him the motivation to move forward...

"Always believe in yourself, you can do anything..." - Michael Jordan
If not, I'll return the jersey to Alvin Murphy the next day, Mayo thought.

Ever since, the pride in his heart gave his body a steady stream of energy, and he was no longer confused. Those bright lights and the loud boos and curses in Salt Lake City were like a temporary stage for him...

A stage to show yourself...

The sky is the limit for you...

I-Blieve-i-can-fly, too!

Ronnie Brewer has graduated 6 fouls ahead of schedule, but the defense master from Russia, AK47 Kirilenko, is an even more difficult ACE-killer!

He has a slender wingspan that is envied by many wing defenders. He has the dexterity that is not lost to short players. He can even block shots and steals. If he can concentrate on playing, even those who are currently at the top of the league cannot easily defeat him...

Mayo received the ball and began to test his offensive line. Obviously, even the old ladies in their 6s and 70s on the sidelines knew that whoever the Jazz strangled now could win the game.

He was staggered by Harpring, who was running sideways, and almost gave the ball away...

Everyone can't wait to see the guy make a fool of himself, because everyone wants to be a guest of the visiting team in Salt Lake City.

"Get rid of him! Andre!" the fans yelled.

"Let this ignorant kid live forever in the shadow of today!" Another one was even more vicious...

I will remember today.

But I guarantee that it is the sweetest dream I will recall every night!

Mayo sneered, catching the ball with one hand, ready to go...

AK47 Kirilenko licked his dry lips, with a malicious smile on the corner of his mouth, but in the next moment, a figure flashed, and a trace of cold sweat fell from his forehead...

There is nothing in front of me!

He subconsciously stepped back, and the guy on the other side who had been paying attention flew up together, and the moment before Millsap jumped, the ball was sent to the basket...

108 flats!
"Why..." The Russian was annoyed for a moment...

"Hi! I won't add lips when I'm defending..." Mayo bumped into the opponent pretending to be relaxed, adding some anger to him for his dry wood.

"asshole!"

When Deron, who was on the 5th foul, carefully held the ball and rushed in, all the Rockets players facing him turned into porcelain dolls one by one. As long as their bodies touched a little, they scrambled to fall backwards.

Even so, the Jazz's advantage is still huge. According to Barkley, Boozer and Millsap's strong defense of the Rockets' restricted area is like fighting against a chair.

Hayes committed 6 fouls, Scola was not a defensive leader, and Jordan Hill, a freshman, was even more timid at critical moments. Thanks to Trevor Ariza, he was very sober, and he made up for several times in time to resolve many crises...

But the offensive rebounds are still firmly in the hands of the Jazz, and there is a posture of vowing not to give up if they can't get into the basket.

The ball lasted for more than 1 minute, and the game entered the final 1 minute and 20 seconds...

Deron fired from outside!

At the last moment, Fang showed his true nature. The ball smashed many Rockets fans watching in bars and in front of the TV like a comet hitting the earth. Even Ron began to blame himself. Maybe he was too conceited, and he deserted halfway and ruined the game...

The deterrence was no longer there, and the group of players started to play blindly. The 19-point advantage was ruined in an instant, and even Lowry couldn't turn it around...

But all of a sudden, Rocket No. 23, which I brought from West Virginia with my own hands, made a 3-point shot at the moment of receiving the ball. This undoubtedly made all the members of the Rockets experience the taste of ice and fire in a few seconds...

Kirilenko next to him was stunned. As a defender, the more options for offensive players, the more difficult it is.

It was already difficult for him to judge whether Mayo was shooting suddenly or not. The hesitation at that moment was enough to be thrown away by his opponent by a few positions...

It's just that Deron tirelessly charged again. His cowardice and caution in the first few minutes seemed to completely block everything in the last minute. He crushed the thin Dragic in a tank style.

A backhand passed to Boozer, who filled the frame vigorously to make the score exceed again!
113: 111!

Barkley: "Under the Jazz's iron-blooded system, the Rockets still got a high score of 110+, which is admirable, but they have left Princeton, which they are proud of..."

Kenny: "It was Lowry's singles just now, and now it's replaced by Mayo...I think they were a little negligent, and the game was settled."

Is there any other way?Ron asked helplessly.

To deal with the most effective pick-and-roll and defensive counterattacks at critical moments, we can only trust our team's trump card. The aura of the All-Star may not be good enough for Mayo, but he is about to become the brightest star in this game!
55 seconds!
Mayo changed direction back and forth like lightning and flint. In his fierce eyes, the Russian was a little flustered, but there was no obvious loophole...

With Scola's cover, Millsap, who came running at the same time, not only delayed, but also gave him an elbow in the referee's blind spot, "Huo!" This time, the braces almost flew out!
He looked at the referee, but the referee ignored him. Maybe this is the legendary home whistle treatment...

Time is running out!Step back!

"Good guy, I knew it!" Kirilenko laughed excitedly and rushed over, intercepting the high parabolic ball directly in midair...

"what!"

But what he didn't expect was that when he jumped with all his strength, the arc of the ball was too high. When it fell, it fell directly into Mayo's hands. At the last second of the attack time, Mayo's high throw, followed by the whistle and Boozer's fingertips rubbed into the net...

113: 113!

Flat again!
The neutral fans watched with enthusiasm, the Rockets fans gathered around the TV were worried, and the tens of thousands of spectators at the scene were quite dissatisfied and frustrated...

fucking dangerous...

Mayo breathed a sigh of relief...

Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, he followed Korver who was running around Dawan halfway, suddenly left his opponent, and rushed to Deron Williams who was trembling with Xiaode...

With a bang, the ball was intercepted on the way Deron sent it to Boozer!
OJ-Mayo rides thousands of miles with one blow!

He doesn't know where he got his energy to run so fast...

It turned out to be more spiritual than the first quarter...

If this goal is scored, it will be a fatal blow for the Rockets in less than 20 seconds of the game!
"I won't let you take away our victory! The silhouette of the old era is destined to become an eternal classic!" Deron Williams gritted his teeth and chased desperately, but he found that the guy wearing the No. 23 jersey couldn't catch up no matter how hard he chased...

Close at hand, looking at the end of the world...

The words from behind made Mayo slightly startled, but he ran towards the basket more freely without hesitation...

take off!gliding!
"At least try my best...for our coach! And for the 23 years of our entire Utah Jazz...the last stubbornness!"

Deron jumps and sideways hits Mayo...

"I want to start a fantastic season with my own hands!" Mayo greeted him without thinking!
Both men carried unparalleled conviction!
