Tang Hao didn't say anything, and took a step forward directly, assuming a defensive posture. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Cousins picked up the ball and went straight to the breakaway.

He's huge, tank-like propulsion, and whoever goes up at this point is like hitting a car.

"Smack!"

However, Cousins just rushed two steps, and Tang Hao's figure flew quickly, directly cutting off the ball in Cousins' hand.

Cousins lost the ball, and one of the centers of gravity was unstable and almost fell straight down.

"It's easy to lose your dribble, don't you know?" said Tang Hao in a calm tone after breaking the ball.

Cousins gasped for breath.

Exchanging the ball, Tang Hao's offensive round.

Cousins slapped his head at this moment, leaned down, and could feel from his eyes that this ball would definitely reward Tang Hao with a big hat.

Tang Hao broke through, and the continuous cross-step shaking made Cousins' center of gravity swing from side to side.

Tang Hao made a breakthrough move in the next second, forcing Cousins to take a step back, and he directly stopped and pulled out.

The speed was so fast that Cousins saw it, but it was too late to move.

"Huh~"

Textbook shot, the basketball fell into the net bag safely.

Tang Hao took a ball first.

The Lakers players on the sidelines suddenly had an idea in their hearts at this time, how do you feel that Tang Hao is bullying people?

Kobe couldn't help but smile at this time, Cousins' first ball was broken, and the confrontation ended early.

Tang Hao's second goal, Cousins pulled the distance between him and Tang Hao, but Tang Hao passed it cleanly.

In the exclamations of the players on the sidelines, Tang Hao won the second goal with one hand.

"You're cheating!" Cousins said angrily, Tang Hao beat like this, he was powerful and had nowhere to go, and he had an indescribable sense of grievance.

"Don is a guard, do you still want him to fight you inside?" Kobe Bryant said at this time.

"That's what he didn't dare. Cousins knew that if he continued to fight like this, he would definitely lose, so he said.

"You're going to fight, right?" Tang Hao smiled.

Kobe Bryant looked at Tang Hao and stopped talking, and finally suddenly smiled.

Tang Hao always seems to be able to surprise people.

"Come on, a man's confrontation!" Cousins said, slapping himself twice in the chest, like a gorilla cheering himself up before attacking.

Tang Hao dribbled and lowered the center of gravity, and then broke through directly.

Cousins is a power-hungry, confrontational player, and if you want to really conquer him, you have to do it your way.

Seeing that Tang Hao really rushed towards him this time, Cousins showed a burst of joy on his face, fighting against him, he really wasn't afraid of anyone in this alliance.

"Bang!

Cousins rushed up and kept making physical contact with Tang Hao, and the two of them were like two trucks driving in the wrong direction, or two fighters in the Colosseum, constantly impacting each other.

The Lakers players on the sidelines were all stunned, although they could feel that Tang Hao's strength was not small in training and peacetime games, but they never expected that this strength would be strong enough to confront Cousins head-on.

An outside line with the power of the top inside, this scene is really chilling.

But this really happened in front of their eyes, Tang Hao barely used too much technology, just relying on pure strength to press Cousins in little by little.

Cousins was pressed under the basket, his face was red, his heart was bitter at this time, and Tang Hao's mountain-like pressure was still increasing.

Tang Hao pressed Cousins to the basket, and suddenly took the initiative to take a step back.

Cousins was stunned and almost fell, but it was just this moment of kung fu, Tang Hao used the distance of more than half a meter to accelerate, took the ball in his right hand, and jumped up directly.

"Bang!"

Tang Hao's body bumped into Cousins's body, and with a force, Cousins's whole person was directly pushed out of the bottom line.

"Bang!"

After knocking away Cousins, Tang Hao smashed the ball into the basket with his right hand.

"Oh hoo hoo huhu~"

The Lakers players on the sidelines showed an exaggerated expression, and Tang Hao's face buckle was a bit ruthless.

Many of them looked at Cousins, after being deducted in the face like this, would the irascible Cousins jump up and do it directly.

But what everyone didn't expect was that when Cousins stabilized his body and looked at Tang Hao again, he suddenly laughed: "Even John (Wall) has never made me so embarrassed, you are the first player to convince me." ”

"John Wall?" Tang Hao thought about it, and suddenly laughed unconsciously, Wall has a nickname called "Embarrassment Wall" in China, Cousins said this, which means that if the wall is not satisfied, you will obey?

"Yes, we are members of the Kentucky team, and he used to be our big brother. Cousins said and walked over to Tang Hao.

The Lakers players on the sidelines were stunned, and Cousins' attitude directly came to a 180-degree turn.

"Go, I'll treat you to dinner, and tell me how you managed to do this. Cousins pulled Tang Hao and left the training hall directly in the stunned expressions of the Lakers players.

Tang Hao didn't reject Cousins, not because he really wanted to tell Cousins the source of his strength, but because he also wanted to know if there was any way to change his temper.

"This steakhouse tastes good. Tang Hao also spent a lot of time in Los Angeles, driving the Phantom around outside, and then took Cousins into a steakhouse.

'Tell me, how did you do it, I've never seen a defender do it before. Cousins didn't have much interest in steak, but his curiosity about Tang Hao's power didn't diminish at all.

"I used to be a boxer, and the most important thing in boxer training is strength, and I just gave twice as much as anyone else, or even more. Tang Hao said lightly.

"Whew!" Cousins looked at Tang Hao in shock, and he even had a scene of Tang Hao sweating and training in the picture.

However, after the shock, he was still curious, because this kind of strength really cannot be obtained by training.

"Tell me about you, when did you have such a temper, and to be honest, I don't think what Rajan said today is right. At this moment, Tang Hao spoke.

Cousins smiled wryly when he heard about himself, and then said, "This actually came from John Calipari, but maybe it has developed to the point where it is today, and it is not what he expected at the beginning." ”

"Calipari?" Tang Hao didn't know much about the NBA, and he didn't know who Cousins was talking about.

"Yes, he was the head coach of the University of Kentucky, when John (Wall), Patrick (Patterson), Eric (Bledsoe), Daniel (Orton), we were on the same team. Cousins had a look of remembrance on his face, "When we first got together, we were both very young, and Coach John said to me, "Hey, DeMarcus, you need to learn to let go of your anger in the game, you're a man, you're going to make your opponent scared of you." ”

"Are you saying that Calipari made you release your anger during the match?" Tang Hao said.

"Yes, it worked in college, my opponents were scared of me, and my anger helped Kentucky win the NCAA championship. Cousins had a look of excitement on his face, and this memory was quite sweet for the original Kentucky New Five Tigers.

"With that said, Calipari did something wrong. ”

"No, Coach John told me before I went to the draft, she said that the NBA is different from the NCAA, and he wanted me to slowly learn to handle the game calmly, but I didn't. Cousins said with a wry smile.

Tang Hao didn't speak, the formation of habits is not overnight, and the same habits are not something that can be changed if you want to, this Calipari is, in a sense, to make Cousins miserable.

"Do you care about anything?" After a moment of silence, Tang Hao looked at Cousins and asked.

"Do you care?" Cousins looked at Tang Hao suspiciously.

"Yes, care, anything, women, food, anything, what you care about the most, of course it has to be true. ”

Cousins thought for a moment, then said, "Money, count?"

"Money?"

"Yes, money, who doesn't care about money?"

Tang Hao laughed: "Yes, who doesn't care about money. ”

"But what are you asking for?" Cousins' eyes were full of doubt.

"Maybe I have a solution to your angry temper. Tang Hao said with a smile.

"Really?"

"Tomorrow, ask your agent to make a statement that in future games, if you are awarded another technical foul, you will donate to the Red Cross...... Two hundred thousand dollars. ”

"$200,000?" Cousins said with a pain in the flesh, he is a big technical foul maker, the most previous seasons, there were nearly 20 technical fouls in a season, because of this, he was also suspended, and now a donation of $200,000, then he may have to donate more than $4 million, which is definitely not a small amount of money for him.

Tang Hao nodded and looked at Cousins with a smile.

"Isn't it...... A little more?" Cousins understood Tang Hao's intentions, but when he thought of donating so much money, he really couldn't do it.

"If you feel more, it will have an effect, and if you donate to the Red Cross, you are spending money to buy your reputation. ”

Cousins didn't speak, and it could be seen from his expression that he was hesitating, and it was difficult for people to be bold in front of the things they cared about the most.

"Don't do that, DeMarcus, your look is like saying that you can't go unpunished. Tang Hao said with a smile.

"Good!" Cousins said, with great courage, slamming the table.

This attracted the attention of the diners next to him.

"It's like a real man. Tang Hao gave Cousins a thumbs up.

The Lakers' next game is in three days, which is a good rest for the team.

However, Scott did not give the players a holiday, because the team's opponent in the next game is the Cavaliers led by James.

The Cavaliers welcomed the return of James and the addition of Love this season, and are a real championship team.

Facing such a strong team, Scott naturally did not dare to underestimate the enemy.

That is, before the team left for Cleveland, Cousins was in the locker room, apologizing to the players for their impulsiveness to play.

When Cousins apologized, Rondo also stood up to apologize to Cousins.

It's like overturning dominoes, and the originally tense atmosphere quickly becomes harmonious.

Cousins and Rondo released their suspicions, Kobe Bryant couldn't help but turn his head to look at Tang Hao, and in his heart, he actually had a trace of admiration for Tang Hao.

And just after the day's training, Cousins' agent issued a statement to the media, the main content of which was that the Cousins team made a decision that for every technical foul he was awarded in future games, he would donate $200,000 like the Red Cross, with no upper limit.

As soon as this statement was issued, it immediately made the sports media and a group of reporters fry.

In the NBA, in order to support public welfare, players will more or less set some rules for themselves, such as Stephen Curry once said that he would donate $2,000 for every three-pointer he scored, and further along, free throw master Jose Calderon also said that he would donate $200 for every free throw he hit.

Picking what they do best to set the rules is actually to show that they really want to support the public good.

Cousins uses his "best" technical fouls for public good, and that doesn't seem to be a problem.

But $200,000!

This amount shocked everyone, this amount is really too large, and it is not an exaggeration to say that this is definitely the largest amount in the history of the NBA.

Some media and reporters expressed support for such an approach, believing that Cousins was really ruthless in making changes in this regard, but more people thought that this approach was pure

It's a gimmick, in order to attract attention.

"DeMarcus can only rely on this way to attract attention, maybe his previous temper was just to make people pay attention to him~" Sacramento's media even ridiculed like this.

There are mixed reviews from the outside world, but everyone knows that this will be a big challenge for Cousins himself.

Amid the loud buzz, the Lakers boarded a plane to Cleveland.

Located on the south shore of Lake Erie, Cleveland is the second largest city in Ohio, but in reality, it is a small city with a population of just over 300,000 people, and with small cities comes small ball markets, and for most of the time, the sports industry here is in a chronic slump.

However, the emergence of LeBron James, the "Emperor of Basketball", changed all that, and Cleveland drafted James in '03, and since then, the team has become a powerhouse in the league, and this time James is returning from Miami to bring the city its first championship trophy.

With such a goal in mind, it is only natural that the team will strive to be the best they can be in the regular season.

Against the Lakers, winning the game is clearly their only goal.

"When I come back to Cleveland, it's about winning every game for the city. James made no secret of his determination.

For the Lakers, what is deeper about this game is that Bryant traveled to Cleveland with the team this time, and after a break of more than a month, he chose to return in such a high-profile battle.
