134 Cousin's temper
DeMarcus Cousins.
Boogie Manγ And the big cousin. These are the nicknames given to Cousins by Chinese and foreign fans.
But if these favorites aside, there are players in the league who have a worse temper than Cousins, I'm afraid... I'm afraid he won't be convinced!
Isn't it, just now Yang Yiming and Yu Xiaochun were still enjoying dumplings with Cousins, and now he has roared.

"I don't have to worry about me!" Cousins clenched his fists, gasping for air in his nostrils, and his eyes widened like brass bells.
"DeMarcus..."
βThe Boogieβ¦β
"Don't flatter me! Don't call me boogie by my nickname! Cousins was so angry that he was incoherent, "No, that's right, I'm Boogie, I'm the one who came out to scare people, what do I need to worry about." Never worry! β
Cousins waved his thick arm, as if to say that the conversation was over and there was no need to discuss it again.
"But..."
"What's so good!" Cousins pouted his chin, his beard, which had not been trimmed by surgery these days, was thicker and had crawled all over his jaw and neck. He half-stuck out his tongue and peeked at the two of them from his lower eyelid like a grimaceous child.
It doesn't seem to be completely angry yet.
Yang Yiming calmed down, copied a notepad and a pen from the adjacent table in the rest area, and quickly transcribed a string of numbers.
"What did you write that?"
The eldest cousin is really a happy guy, and Yang Yiming's small action successfully diverted his attention.
"It's nothing, the takeaway phone of the Chinese restaurant you just asked for, and the dumplings you ate are from their house. I'll write it down for you. β
"Then hurry up and give it to me!"
Cousins reached out to grab the note, but Yang Yiming deftly avoided it. Who made him a wheelchair with limited range of motion?
"How you talk doesn't count, Yang! I misread you! β
"For you, for you."
Yang Yiming pretended to be disdainful and threw the notepad in the tray that Cousins had set up on his wheelchair, but the latter carefully folded it and put it in the pocket of his hospital gown.
"Then you should consider my suggestion."
"What a suggestion."
"Your contract is expiring this summer..."
Yang Yiming tentatively threw out this topic again, obviously with the first foreshadowing and the notepad with the "magic number", Cousins's reaction this time eased a lot:
"Garian will help me figure it out (Garian Arcana is Cousins' current agent). Anyway, what Lao Tzu has is money, and I don't care if I have the highest salary. β
Even though his feet were still covered in a thick cast and his ankles were held in place by steel bars, Cousins still looked like I could fight for another five hundred years.
"Money is certainly not the point..."
"The point is that you still want to stay in New Orleans and play..."
"Keep playing with good brother Anthony Davis..."
"But whether Davis will jump out of the contract and leave, it's not something you can control..."
Taking advantage of the fact that his cousin's temper did not explode, Yu Xiaochun and Yang Yiming saw the opportunity and took turns to fight, and Cousins was speechless after a series of lessons. He snorted and muttered a little silly in his mouth:
"Let me think again..."
Seeing that Cousins's mood eased, Yang Yiming hurriedly added: "You are always welcome to invite us back to New Orleans to eat dumplings." β
"No, no, he eats dumplings, we want to eat crayfish!" Yu Xiaochun echoed.
Cousins listened, probably thinking of the aftertaste of the dumplings he had just eaten, his big eyes rolled around, and he said happily: "Mm-hmm." There are no dumplings with crayfish filling, then it won't be troublesome, roar. β
The cousin who has a good temper is really cute.

"Yiming, do you think he will come to us when the time comes?" Yu Xiaochun followed Yang Yiming out of the rehabilitation center, and it was already evening outside, and a bright pink cloud was dotting the sky.
"At least we planted a seed in his heart today, didn't we." Yang Yiming folded his palms into an awning and set it between his eyebrows to look at the sky.
"That's right. I hope I can really talk about Cousins, and if I can be his agent, it will be too powerful. β
"Take your time, don't rush."
"Well, I'm thinking that when Cousins starts the second phase of recovery, that is, when he can walk on the ground, we will bring Nina in and ask her to help speed up the recovery, maybe our 'case' will have a greater chance of success."
"It's a good idea."
"I don't know what the relationship between Ross and Kaoshen is, if I can invite him to show up again, it will also help."
"I guess there will be. After all, they are all seriously injured, and if Derrick (Rose) can play well in the second half of the season with the Rockets, it will definitely be very convincing for Kaoshen. β
"yes, I think so, too."
Yu Xiaochun and Yang Yiming asked and answered, as the sun went down, the colorful glow on the horizon became wider and more gorgeous, and a touch of gold enveloped the edge of the red cloud, like a freshly baked dessert. Returning birds hover over the woods outside the rehabilitation center and chirp lowly.
After being silent for a while, Yang Yiming asked Yu Xiaochun, "What about you?" Your ex-girlfriend didn't say she was coming to the United States to see you, taking advantage of the Chinese New Year holiday. Seeing that the Spring Festival holiday is coming to an end, what about her? β
"She's going to Houston the day after tomorrow. When the time comes, you can lend me a car, and I'll pick him up at the airport. β
"Eric Gordon's open-top Mercedes?"
"Hmm..."
"No problem, you're the only one who can drive anyway - so you're going to make a good impression on her."
"Hmm... Don't be too shabby anyway. Yu Xiaochun squeezed out a wry smile.
"It's all a routine." Yang Yiming made fun of him. He knew that Yu Xiaochun still couldn't let go of this ex-girlfriend Tang Wen after all.
"Get out." Yu Xiaochun finally became a little happier, and sneered at each other: "Where is the routine good for you, how are you and Miss Mei?" When are you going to get your license, meet your parents, and have mixed races?! β
"There is so much red tape abroad?!"
"It's true that there are no abroad, but who made you live the Chinese New Year now!" Yu Xiaochun pushed Yang Yiming from behind, "I just want you to experience the warmth of being tortured by relatives and friends every festival when you are abroad!" After all, the eldest brother is the father! β
"I got my mind, daddy..."Yang Yiming turned around and gave Yu Xiaochun a look, "But forgive me for not being filial, I still have unfinished business, and this child has a long relationship, so I can only put it aside." β
"What is the important cause for my son, you can be so ruthless and abandon Miss Mei? Tell me about it! Yu Xiaochun pushed the boat down the river, and he has already entered this "father-son play".
"You have a great enemy, and its power is probably still above me. I need to concentrate 200% of my energy to win or lose, so my children will love each other..."
"So you think it's Donovan Mitchell too?!" Yu Xiaochun flashed back in an instant, obviously talking about the important points, and he didn't want to pretend to be polite anymore. Although the two had the same suspicions during All-Star Weekend, they then went on vacation to New Orleans, and during the vacation, they tacitly chose to remain silent, and they never had a chance to confirm it.
"That's right!"
Yang Yiming's affirmation was extremely resolute, "But I still want to know, how do you confirm that it's him?!" β
