I'm really not a brush in basketball

Chapter 150 149. Awakening OJ Mayo
Darrell Arthur didn't make it to the end of the first quarter and was blown away by Chen Long.

The Kansas State University star entered the NBA and became a fringe player. Not only did he not get much playing time, but even when he finally played, he did dirty work.

The former Darrell Arthur wanted to be Chen Long's lifelong enemy.

As a result, after only a few minutes of playing after leaving the university, he was about to be eaten alive by Chen Long.

Ideal is full, the reality is very skinny.

From then on, the only shining point in Darrell Arthur's entire failed career was that he had witnessed Chen Long's growth as Chen Long's opponent across the NCAA and NBA.

Darrell Arthur later even opened his own radio show, nothing else, dedicated to touting Chen Long, and reminiscing about the days when he was single with him.

Among the opponents that Chen Long conquered, Darrell Arthur was not even ranked.

The Grizzlies traded back for OJ Mayo.

Mark Jaffroni emphatically mentioned, "Mayo, don't be impulsive, the team needs your scoring ability!"

"I see." Mayo replied impatiently.

After holding back for a long time, this genius boy calmed down a bit. He can't defend against Chen Long, as long as he maintains his offensive accuracy and fights against Chen Long.

As soon as he came up, OJ Mayo didn't want to play singles, but obediently ran an air cut tactic, and then received a pass from Marc Gasol for a layup.

Even if the genius is broken, the execution of the tactics is still much better than that of the less talented players.

Chen Long looked at Mayo playfully, thinking that he could have fun again.

To deal with a thorny head like OJ Mayo, Chen Long is very simple, just torture him to the death, until he honestly admits that he can't do it.

After a super super super long three-pointer, Chen Long easily hit back several times, the abusive Mayo has no temper at all.

In addition to fouling, Mayo has no other way.

When he saw Mayo kicking Chen Long and ended up falling on his back, Mark pouted and shook his head, thinking that this guy didn't listen to my tactics at all.

The key is that Chen Long has never missed a free throw since the start of the game, and he has hit 100% so far. Sending him to the free throw line is a free throw.

So Makia Faroni reminded his players not to foul Chen Long before.

Or don't foul, if you want to foul, can you make a cruel one? !

Mark hoped that the bastard OJ Mayo would make a fierce foul on Chen Long, and even thought that it would be better if he could get Chen Long injured and retired.

Not striving for victory from the level of coaching and tactics, just thinking about playing evil in your head, this is not tough but dirty.

Therefore, Mark was never hired by an NBA team after leaving the Grizzlies.

Chen Long's singles helped the Bulls gain a double-digit lead.

Mark pushed his eyes, and called a timeout angrily, "Can you guys play more aggressively? What did I say? Don't give Chen Long the chance to play singles with the ball!"

When the coach spoke, Mayo kept his head down and remained silent.

"Mayo, did you hear me? Don't make fouls anymore!" Mark reminded emphatically that Mayo would have to sit on the bench if he couldn't control the foul.

Mayo just nodded.

The more Mark thought about it, the more angry he became, but there was nothing he could do. If he wanted to secure the position of the Bulls, he had to train OJ Mayo to become a star.

One is a irascible uncle and the other is a vicious young man. These two people have different temperaments and don't like each other, so it's only a matter of time before they have internal strife.

Coupled with the fact that the Memphis Grizzlies are still in the stage of exploring the style of play, Makia Faroni has no ability to bring the winning genes to this team, and he will definitely be fired this year.

As for OJ Mayo's bad off-court news, it is not something a pragmatic city like Memphis can accommodate, and he will leave sooner or later.

The game restarted, and Mayo's eyes were bloodshot, and he didn't seem to have the slightest youthful vigor.

"Haven't slept for a few days?" Chen Long teased.

"I don't need to sleep!" OJ Mayo's living habits are rotten to the root, and he had a party with a few cronies last night, so it's normal to be in a bad state.

"is it?"

OJ Mayo has become what Chen Long hates the most, so he wants the ball to play Mayo again.

Because it is the top of the arc, the Grizzlies have no way to help defend against double-teams.

But Kyle Lowry, Rudy Gay and Marc Gasol all looked at Chen Long, ready to pounce to double-team.

I saw that Chen Long was not in a hurry to attack, but provoked Mayo with a dribble. He wanted to make Mayo wake up completely, or fall asleep completely!
OJ Mayo pulled himself together and leaned over to start the defense.

Chen Long made a change of direction and made Mayo reach out to break it, but he was in vain.

"Stop dreaming."

Chen Long's words aroused Mayo's anger, and Mayo immediately prepared to press close to him.

"You can't touch the ball."

Chen Long began to dribble behind his back, and then made a shooting fake. Mayo obediently jumped up to defend.

This is the power of a shooter with the basket to fake a shot.

However, Chen Long did not just break through like this, but made another exaggerated change of direction. Mayo, who had just landed, stepped forward to defend, but was shaken so that his ankle went limp, and he knelt on the ground with one knee.

"Hmph, that's right."

Chen Long dribbled the ball, then made a sudden stop for a jumper, and then shot Rudy Gay.

Makia Faroni didn't pay attention to Mayo's situation, but pointed to why Marc Gasol stayed behind and didn't help Rudy Gay defend Chen Long.

Just now, Chen Long's smile hurt Mayo's heart, and at the same time, he also felt like a thorn pierced his ankle.

"What the hell is going on?"

OJ Mayo didn't have the feeling of a torn ligament due to a major injury, but he still felt an indescribable strange feeling while holding his ankle.

"Mayo, what's wrong with you?" Kyle Lowry asked with concern.

Mayo shook his head and tried to stand up, but with this movement, his ankle hurt so much that he immediately raised his arms and made a cross.

The rest of the Grizzlies surrounded Mayo, even though the kid was usually arrogant and unlovable, but after all, we were teammates in the league together, and no one wanted him to be seriously injured...

The referee stopped the game and the team doctor came up.

After a brief inspection, the Grizzlies' two backups, Hakeem Warrick and Greg Buckner, carried him back to the locker room.

Mark Gaffroni thought in his heart, "What's the use of such a glass player choosing him, it's better to keep Kevin Love."

After Quinton Rose came on the field, he only made a small mistake, and Mark Gaffroni immediately rewarded him with a mouth.

Quinton Rose was stunned, but because Mark was the coach and he was only a marginal player, he could only endure it.

Mark Jafaroni's slap was not due to Quinton Rose's mistake, but because he asked Chen Long for his autograph before the game. Mark felt that doing so was too damaging to morale.

In fact, even if they don't hit morale, they have no chance of winning, because these players are too young...
