Cousins was depressed, quite depressed, extremely depressed.

In the Xiao Hua era, he was pulled out for military training in various ways, and now in the Tatum era, he still can't avoid this experience!

It seems that it was not Xiao Hua who made him experience this kind of encounter, but the damn small ball era.

No, it's this damn Tang Tian!

How can this guy shoot so accurately, and suddenly so ruthlessly, it's just a monster!

He's been playing for so many years, including the NCAA, and he's never seen such a perverted guy.

This guy is like a hung!

In the first half of the first quarter, the two sides played various tactical games, and the rotation was also targeted.

But in the second half, it still became a scene where Tang Tian singled Cousins and the Rockets singled Jokic.

The two traditional center forwards were pulled out for various military training and enjoyed the feeling of running on the beach in the summer in advance.

It's clear though, the Pelicans' side is more efficient at scoring.

Small fights are big, Tang Tian's advantage is too great.

Cousins was beaten and was about to be violently discharged.

In this section, Tang Tian scored 14 points in the face of his "cousin" alone, and the real seven in and seven out, killing it red.

The Rockets also trailed the Pelicans by double digits 22-32 in the quarter.

In the second quarter of the bench, Gordon was in hot form, but Williams and Bojan on the Pelicans' side finally found their form.

When the main force comes back, 30-40, it is still a 10-point difference.

After a timeout back from the Rockets' offense, Paul continued to play Jokic in a misplaced position.

To say that Harden was taken care of by Tang Tian, Paul dreamed of returning to New Orleans and had a lot of power, but his strength obviously couldn't go back.

On the first round of offense, his hand was not yet hot, and his shot collapsed in front of the basket, and the rebound was collected by Davis.

Looking back, Tang Tian also continued to play Cousins.

Cousins mobilized the body cells of his body and used the power of feeding to follow Tang Tian's pace, but in the end he was almost shaken down.

"Huh!"

Tang Tian shook him off and hit him steadily.

After seven in and seven out, the "cousin's" hard resistance did not work, and Tang Tian still took what he wanted.

Paul hit Jokic again, but he still didn't get in, and his touch dropped from the first quarter.

Looking back, Tang Tian continued to play Cousins, this time he dribbled low enough times, Cousins was eager to prove that his center of gravity was not controlled, and he was directly shaken to the ground!

Tang Tian waited until Cousins got up and then went in!

A wave of 4-0, the difference has come to 14 points!

Cousins, who got up, had red eyes as he noticed D'Antoni shaking his head on the sidelines.

Obviously, he's been made a laughing stock tonight.

The Rockets' offense, Paul still looked for Cousins to block and dismantle, but this time he went outside and then stuffed the ball to Cousins.

Paul's offensive ability is not as good as his peak, but his hand control and passing are stronger than he was in his prime.

Cousins got the ball, slammed it away from Holiday and slammed it into the basket with both hands.

He held back the fire in his belly, and after the dunk was successful, he hung himself on the basket before he landed, and after he landed, he beat his chest and roared.

This ball, it's very cool!

The cheers at the scene also burst into flames.

It's a lot more relieving than just scoring two points.

Looking back, Tang Tian hit Cousins again.

The audience resounded with deafening cheers.

"Defend! Defend! ”

The fans were all cheering for Cousins this time.

There is nothing that cannot be done, even if it seems out of reach, but as long as you work hard, there is hope!

They believe Cousins can do it!

Cousins did the same, and this time he rarely kept up with Tang Tian's rhythm.

Tang Tian's first wave of shaking failed to shake off Cousins.

Even if there is an advantage in speed, after all, a low dribble is just a blue skill.

However, his attack was obviously more than just shaking, he relied on the right time to accelerate step by step, and then another big change of direction.

Cousins didn't keep up.

Tang Tian pulled back the emergency stop and pull.

That's when the unexpected happened.

Cousins really tried hard to defend, Tang Tian changed direction sharply, and he also changed direction sharply.

His head kept up, but his feet didn't keep up with his huge weight.

That is, he wanted to pounce on Tang Tian for the last time, and he exerted too much force, and after his left foot kicked the ground, he fell to the ground with a painful expression directly.

Tang Tian's shot failed to hit this time, and Cousins' hard defense still had an effect.

But it didn't matter if he went in or not, and as soon as Cousins fell to the ground, D'Antoni called a timeout.

Cousins looked pained, and after holding his ankle for a while, he rolled over and pounded the floor with his right hand.

Obviously, this time he twisted not lightly.

The team doctor quickly came on the field, and after communication, the wheelchair was pushed on the spot.

Helping Cousins into his wheelchair, the team doctor quickly sent him back to the locker room.

This situation came very suddenly, and everyone didn't expect it.

Including Tang Tian, he just got rid of it normally.

And when Cousins was injured, the two did not have any physical contact.

It can only be said that the intensity of the confrontation in this round of the series is too great, and with the cheers of the fans on the sidelines, Cousins wants to defend the ball too much, which leads to excessive force.

It was an accident, and it was completely different from Leonard's being put on the feet of Pachuria.

But again, Cousins' injury has greatly damaged the Rockets' strength, and they can only play the immature Capela, and the Pelicans have further stretched the score away.

The current Capela is much weaker than the Capela at the same time in history.

Players are all on the playing time and possession of the ball, Capela has limited playing time as a Cousins substitute, and you can't expect him to open up instantly.

In the end, the Rockets were unable to get a win at home, losing 91-106.

After losing this game, they also trailed the Pelicans 3-0 by the big score, just like last year.

However, the stats and the big score of this game are not so important, because after Leonard, another superstar was injured.

This year's playoffs were a bit of a mess.

And the next day's MRI report came out, Cousins' condition was much more serious than Leonard's.

Achilles tendon tear.

These four words are nightmare words for basketball players.

For this kind of injury, the recovery time after surgery alone is at least 8 months.

Of course, this is not the most serious, the serious thing is that the Achilles tendon after the injury cannot be fully exerted.

In other words, it is equivalent to making the athlete lose most of the bounce outright.

In the NBA, which is full of birds and meat, it is absolutely deadly.

There are many players in NBA history who have suffered a torn Achilles tendon, most notably Isaiah "The Smiling Assassin" Thomas and "Captain" Elton Bullard.

The former's career ended prematurely, while the latter became a passerby from an All-Star.

This check result is even more nightmare for the Rockets, which means that their Big Three lineup is over at this moment.

Not just now, it's the future.
