Chapter 453: The Smell of Gunpowder
"Cousins: Angel is good for nothing in front of me. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"Cousins said again: Don't be afraid of Anjie, just let the horse come."
"The pre-game gunpowder smells like gunpowder, Anjie: I don't care about the opponent's remarks."
"This Tuesday's Spotlight Battle: Portland Trail Blazers vs. Sacramento Kings."
It stands to reason that the Kings, who currently have a 2-5 record, can't compare to the 6-1 Trail Blazers. But it is precisely because the Kings have Cousins, a straightforward guy, that the battle between Angel and Cousins has become particularly interesting in this game.
This unruly and very childish guy will not respect anyone who opposes him, even if it is his teammate or coach. What's more, Cousins doesn't like Anjie, which is a well-known thing.
In Cousins' opinion, Anjie is a very insidious player, he likes to deceive the referee with some fake falls, and is a liar. However, this is enough to make Cousins hate Anjie and the Trail Blazers. Again, Anjie became popular after being abandoned by the Kings, and the Kings chose Cousins, a big man, in the 10-year draft. The outside world said that Cousins was Anjie's substitute for the Kings and a regret medicine for the Kings. This remark naturally made Cousins very unhappy.
In fact, Cousins' essence is not bad, but his personality is relatively straight. In other words, he is still like a child at heart.
Anjie naturally knew this, so he didn't fight with Cousins. Whenever a reporter comes to ask him a question about Cousins, Anjie understates it. As a result, in the eyes of Cousins, this act became that Anjie did not value himself.
"I don't know where this proud Chinese got his confidence, he can ignore me, but after tomorrow's game, he will remember me." An Jie may not have thought that he would not take the initiative to stir up trouble, but he was seen as disrespectful by Cousins. An Jie shook his head with the newspaper, tomorrow's game, he is destined to have a fierce hand-to-hand fight with Cousins.
On Nov. 13, the day of the Trail Blazers' game against the Kings, Lillard and Aldridge had been comparing things in the locker room before the game.
"What are you two doing? Any new tactics come to mind? An Jie looked at the mysterious two and was very curious.
"Hey, Ann, you can fight with confidence today. If that DeMarcus guy dares to touch you, Aldridge and I will help you hack back. Lillard whispered in Angel's ear, and for a long time it turned out that Lillard and Aldridge were comparing this.
"Come on Damien, it's a basketball game, not a professional wrestling. Cousins, that guy just said he wouldn't do anything to me. Anjie waved his hand disappreciatively, Cousins's temper was clear to the whole league. This guy has a rotten mouth, but he's not an indiscriminate person.
However, it is precisely because of the hostile relationship between Anjie and Cousins that this game, which was originally a huge disparity in strength, has become the focus of attention of the media and fans.
Cousins' temper is well known, and Anjie's name as the "butcher" has been around for a long time. The head-to-head confrontation between these two guys is exciting enough just to think about. It's not so much that people come to see the Trailblazers and Kings, but that they come to see Angel and Cousins.
During the pre-game preparation, An Jie, as the star of the Trail Blazers, still went to greet the opposing players as always. Some shook hands, some hugged, and everyone on the Kings responded to Anjie. Only Cousins, when An Jie put his hand in front of Cousins, Cousins didn't even look at An Jie, as if An Jie didn't exist at all.
The Trail Blazers players immediately glared at Cousins, while the Kings players looked embarrassed.
This time undoubtedly made An Jie very faceless. And Cousins's move really Anjie.
After returning to the Trail Blazers' halfcourt, An Jie's expression changed significantly. At the beginning, he was kind and angry, but now, An Jie frowned.
You can say whatever you want before the game, but if you don't give due respect in front of you, An Jie doesn't agree!
Originally, An Jie just wanted to take the victory away from Sacramento with peace and ease, after all, the resentment that the Kings abandoned him back then had already been buried in An Jie's heart. But when Cousins chooses not to respect Angel, Angel's psychology also changes.
So as soon as the game began, the fans saw an enjoyable hand-to-hand fight!
Anjie got the ball for the Trail Blazers, and Lillard immediately dropped the ball to the low post after controlling the ball outside the three-point line.
An Jie did not hesitate, and hit the ball as soon as he received it. He used a shoulder shake to turn forward and push Cousins hard into the middle. Although the 2.11-meter-tall Cousins was born as a power forward, he is strong enough to fall behind when he plays Anjie's traditional center.
An Jie struggled to hold the ball and took two steps, but found that he had no chance to go to the basket at all. So An Jie suddenly stopped suddenly, pulled it up and threw it!
Cousins was not slow to react, seeing An Jie lifting the basketball, Cousins directly split his head and covered his face. Facts have proved that his cap is really a head and face.
Anjie's stop-and-go move was just a feint to shake Cousins up and then make a foul. If you play like this, you might even get a chance to hit three points.
Anjie guessed that Cousins would be fooled, but she didn't expect Cousins to be deceived so thoroughly. The time bomb of the Kings jumped up and slapped the ball hard, but on An Jie's face.
An Jie immediately covered his face and fell to the ground, being slapped so painfully, An Jie didn't exaggerate the facts, he was sorry for Divac's hard work below.
Aldridge immediately crossed over and pushed Cousins away with his shoulder, blocking the gap between him and Anjie. And on the Kings' side, Terek. Evans also pulled Cousins away to avoid a conflict between the two sides.
After An Jie got up, there was no big problem, he was still alive. Just Cousins, who was inevitably whistled for a foul.
"Oh my God, within a minute of the game, Cousins requested a foul for himself. If I were Kings coach Gise. Smart, I'm going to have a headache for Cousins, too. "Mike. Brin shook his head, Cousins was an excellent kid, there was no doubt about it. But his personality is likely to be a stumbling block in his career.
Anjie scored two goals under the boos of the fans, and Cousins picked up the basketball from under the basket and slapped it on the ground. The battle between these two big men has just begun.
Next up for the Kings' offense, in Terek. Evans' mid-range shot ends under the iron. Speaking of Evans, the best rookie of the 09-10 season, he is really a model representative of rookie is the peak.
After putting up jaw-dropping numbers in his rookie season, Evans has been playing year after year. The other rookies are all going up one step at a time, but Evans is going down one step at a time.
With Evans' shot not going in, Cousins was also very dissatisfied with the run-back defense. But this guy won't take out this frustration on his teammates, and Anjie will be the target of that Cousins' anger.
Rough pulling, hidden knees in front of the top. Anjie had just approached Cousins, and Cousins got started.
This time, Anjie did not continue to ask for the ball at Lillard, and everyone on the Kings must be waiting to see Anjie and Cousins play alone. In this way, their wariness of others will drop a lot.
Lillard sprinted straight to the box through Aldridge's pick-and-roll, and at the same time, Cousins also left Anjie to make up for the basket.
Just as Lillard was about to plunge into the crowd, he suddenly flicked his wrist and passed the basketball to the outside again.
Lillard's typical breakaway shot, a tactic that has been tried and tested by the Trail Blazers.
The man who received Lillard's pass from outside the three-point line was Iguodala, who received the ball and duffled a shot to break through Evans. Within a few steps of breaking into the three-point line, Iguodala made a sharp stop. Evans tried to interfere, but for a man like Iguodala, a remedial defense doesn't work.
In the next city, the Trail Blazers played with ease. But for Angel, even if he didn't catch the ball this round, he was choked by Cousins' dirty movements.
On the Kings' second offense, Cousins suddenly hit a mid-range jumper after the three-second zone, allowing him to open the door on Anjie's head.
"You're nothing, Ann. You can be popular simply because of the color of your skin. After the goal, Cousins continued to chatter about Anjie, Anjie is not a bully, he decided that he would let Cousins remember this game well!
So later, when Cousins was about to stick An Jie again, he was the first to be hit in the abdomen by An Jie's dark elbow!
Cousins pouted slightly, but he managed to stand up and continue to defend. Before he could recover from it, An Jie immediately turned around after receiving the ball. In the process of turning, Cousins received another blow to the chest. In great pain, he couldn't keep up with An Jie's footsteps, and An Jie was able to pull the frame under the basket and dunk violently.
Kings power forward Jason. Thompson had actually rushed to the three-second zone a long time ago, but when he saw An Jie's majestic momentum, this guy didn't dare to step forward to stop him.
When the ball scored, An Jie did not celebrate, but turned around and retreated. At the same time, Cousins also walked towards the basket, ready to pick up the basketball on the ground.
At the moment when the two met each other, An Jie hit Cousins hard with his shoulder. Cousins immediately turned around and glared, but only saw Anjie's mouth shape, "Kiss, my, ass!" ”
"Fuck you!" Cousins gritted his teeth, he swore that he wanted to make Anjie look good!
The commentators who commented on the game naturally understood An Jie's mouth shape, but because that sentence was too uncivilized, they didn't explain anything to the fans. All they know is that next, there's a good show to watch.
The fiery showdown between the two big men has begun to heat up.
