Chapter 162: Examining the Mightiness of the Gods
~
Tyrek Evans plays the ball with the ball.
As a 1.98-meter two-way guard, Evans undoubtedly has a huge height advantage at the point guard position. Of course, if it's teammate Isaiah Thomas who defends him, he can shoot straight from standing.
No way, the height advantage is too obvious, if you don't do this, you really can't stand your height.
However, it was Yang Yi who was standing in front of him now. The fat man won't allow Evans to do whatever he wants on his head, even though Evans is the tallest point guard he has ever faced in the league.
Speaking of which, Evans is still quite good. He was named the NBA Rookie of the Year in his rookie season and was named to the All-Rookie First Team; The 10-Year Rookie Challenge also featured the Most Valuable Player selection.
It's just that his series of excellent performances are not worth mentioning in front of the fat man. His strength in his rookie season is just a comparison with the players of the same class, while the media compares the fat man to the superstars in the history of the league, and the two are not on the same level!
Evans held the ball and looked at the fat man lying in front of him, and his expression was a little trance for a while. He has performed perfectly enough in his rookie season, but the fat man in front of him has subverted people's perception of rookie players.
Really, people are more popular than people!
But that's what makes Evans so competitive. I've been in the league for four seasons, but my performance hasn't been as good as I could have been. In addition to his amazing performance in his rookie season, his progress slowed down after encountering the rookie wall.
This time, I met a fat man who was popular in the alliance all over the world, but I had to give full play to my strength, and by the way, I tried the real level of the fat man.
Although he thought so, Evans didn't do it alone. He hoisted the ball inside after his teammates landed successfully and passed it to team boss DeMarcus Cousins.
Here it comes! Lopez felt his body tense. Cousins looks a little thicker than himself, and coupled with his explosive physical fitness, he doesn't know if he can play his usual strength and be able to stop him.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Feeling the overwhelming impact in his chest, Lopez gritted his teeth and resisted Cousins' onslaught.
Cousins' strength, while not the strongest among the league's interior players, is not something that Lopez can stop. Despite Lopez's best efforts, he was pushed back again and again.
Seeing that Cousins was about to go to the basket, Anderson couldn't care about his opponent Jason Thompson, so he abandoned Thompson and pounced on Cousins.
Nima, if Cousins scored the ball in such a powerful way in the opening game, it would definitely be a heavy blow to their morale, and the bottom of the league Kings may be demoralized. If that's the case, it's going to be a tough game. They want to end the game easily! Cousins can't just be allowed to ruin the original plan.
However, when he pounced on the basket from the left side, he found that it was teammate Lopez standing in front of him. Immediately after, he heard the sound of hitting the basket.
It turned out that Cousins got the dunk!
Lopez made an apologetic gesture to Anderson, who had rushed over to help. He was grateful for Anderson's help, but he just didn't hold out until Anderson arrived.
Nima! What a bad luck!
Anderson swallowed and foamed, as long as Lopez held on for one more second, he had a chance.
At this time, the big screen above the arena replayed the footage of Cousins avoiding Anderson's violent dunk.
It turned out that after Cousins pushed Lopez away, he immediately turned his back and went around behind Lopez, bypassing Lopez and at the same time allowing Lopez to separate Anderson and dunk himself, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone, killing three birds with one stone!
"Oh, Cousins bypassed Lopez and Anderson for a dunk, what a tough guy who did whatever he wanted on the inside, and Lopez was still too weak to block his impact at all. However, it is possible to replace our queen bee, and the power of the One is now unrivaled in the Alliance! Bill, the narrator at the Smoothie King Center, teased loudly.
"Haha......" Hearing Bill's ridicule, the fans at the scene couldn't help but burst into laughter. It doesn't matter if Lopez can't stop Cousins, what matters is that Beal actually wants the fat man to go inside and fight those big guys. While The One weighs enough to crush all the interior players in the league, isn't his intention to make people stand up and dunk when he defends the interior?
Bill is really unreliable, how could he have thought of such a crooked idea! What's more, the one is the queen bee of the wasp, how can you do the dirty work done by those blue-collar workers on the inside!
Queen Bee just needs to maintain enough deterrence on the offensive end.
Yang Yi was also amazed by Cousins' back under the basket. There are too few interior players in the current league who have a body like Cousins and can make this kind of flexible footwork.
After the battle for the hegemony of the three centers in the 90s came to an end, the center of the league gradually withered. As far as Howard, the league's No. 1 center is concerned, in the nineties, he could be an interior blue-collar at best. The low-post technique is not as delicate as Cousins's, and the footwork is not as good.
Pity! If Cousins' temper can be curtailed a bit, it won't be long before Howard's title as the league's No. 1 center changes hands.
However, just as the fat man was sighing, Cousins said something that made him cry and laugh.
"Lopez, you softass, don't deserve to be the ONE teammate."
, Nima, isn't this pulling hatred for me?
Yang Yi suddenly realized that he hadn't fully understood Cousins' temper, why did this just start, Cousins has such a big temper, if the fight is fierce?
The fat man also understands why the media always makes things happen to Cousins' temper, if you don't do it, you can't do it! Kaoshen's temper is simply a big selling point, and fans love to watch this kind of news the most.
"Robin, don't worry too much, I never meant that, you know." Yang Yi explained to Lopez after receiving Lopez's serve from the baseline that he didn't want to offend his teammates because of Cousins' words.
"It's fine!" Lopez waved his hand helplessly. Nima, can't stop Cousins from being ridiculed, everything is caused by strength.
It seems that you still have to train harder, and you can't always follow the one behind to check the victory! Lopez clenched his fists secretly, but the desire to improve his abilities grew stronger.
It's just that Cousins' back-turn dunk is just the beginning, and Lopez's nightmare isn't over yet. In the next game, Cousins staged a series of split dunks on the inside, empty dunks, and low posts, which made Lopez almost collapse.
By the end of the first half, Cousins had already chopped 20 points, 6 rebounds and 2 blocks on Lopez's head, completely blowing up Lopez.
