There's always a difficulty in empathizing between people. Mayo sees Zhang Yang as an enemy, a target to surpass, but to Zhang Yang, Mayo is just a somewhat special rookie.
This uniqueness only stems from the fun Mayo brings him. In terms of talent and ability, clearly, Rose, Gui Gui, Da Lu, Er Ha... these guys are more worthy of his attention.
If Mayo played exceptionally well, he might take notice, or if Mayo played exceptionally poorly, he would watch for fun.
But tonight Mayo shot 40% to score 20 points and 5 assists, certainly not bad, but not outstanding either, thus failing to attract his attention.
After the back-to-back games, the Bobcats will have two days off, a real break, with the Christmas games coming up soon.
Zhang Yang doesn't have a practice plan for these two days and plans to rest well.
