Chapter 715: It Worked

After all, Randolph is 36 years old, and since he only extended his contract with the Grizzlies for one year last summer, it all shows that he is ready to retire after playing this season. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Cousins looked very excited after the big attack, pressed his hands into fists and his arms down, and roared at the audience.

It can be seen that he is also trying to use this method to vent the anger in his heart.

The audience also responded with excited cheers.

The Grizzlies hit the sideline, Allen sent the ball, Conley transitioned at the top of the circle, and then handed the ball back to Gasol Jr.

With the lesson of the previous block, he leaned on two hits this time, and then directly turned around and leaned back.

"Bang!"

With a muffled sound, Gasol Jr.'s two-point iron, in the position of the free throw line, Yi Jianlian's defense still played a lot of interference.

The rebound was grabbed by Cousins, and the Lakers reorganized the offense.

The Lakers advanced to the frontcourt, and Cousins kept pressing Randolph in the low post, and it could be seen that the two were going to be entangled all night in this game.

Tang Shuai saw this scene, beckoned his teammates to open up the space, and then gave the ball in.

A few years ago, when Randolph was still at his peak, the Grizzlies often played him with the ball like this, and now he is beaten so hard by Cousins, it is really feng shui in turn.

Randolph is full of power in the next game, but it is still very difficult to resist Cousins, and Cousins not only has strength but also skills, relying on a left turn after playing, throwing Randolph half of his body out of the way, and then taking advantage of the trend to dunk with one hand.

Randolph shook his head helplessly behind him, if he was put at the peak, Cousins would not have been able to squeeze in so easily.

On the Grizzlies' offensive round, Conley put Randolph in the low post and fed the ball in and let him hit a ball to get back on the court.

Randolph received the ball and forced two pushes to the top without moving, and the back of the turn was almost taken by Cousins, and the shot finally jumped out of the basket, and the rebound was also snatched by Cousins.

Turning around, Tang Shuai split the ball to Westbrook, who cut the basket to attract the bag, and then distributed the ball to Cousins on the diagonal side, Cousins dribbled the ball and leaned on Randolph to shoot another board.

Shoot back!

In these few rounds, 4 points, 2 rebounds and 1 risk, Cousins directly dominated the interior at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.

This is also his strength, when he is not angry, he is a big killer on the inside.

Gasol Jr. has returned from injury, Randolph is already old, and the "black and white" inside line of the former league is not cheap to meet Cousins at the peak of his life.

He is able to deal with the two major inside lines alone, and the audience is addicted.

After O'Neal, the Lakers finally have a dominant interior lineman again.

The game was fighting, and Yi Jianlian simply ran to the three-point line as a battery.

Cousins was a one-on-two game on the inside, but the Lakers didn't have much of an advantage on the court.

Although the Grizzlies did not have the advantage on the inside, Conley, who holds the biggest contract in history, played in key moments, he continued to shoot from the outside, and Parsons hit two assists in a row on a mid-range jumper, and the two sides were evenly matched.

After more than half a quarter of the first quarter, the two sides fought 16-16, and no one was able to pull the score away when the pace was slow.

The game entered rotation time, and this is when the Lakers' superiority was reflected.

The departure of Batum and Noll has changed the main force of the Lakers a lot, but the bench has not moved at all, and the Grizzlies have given all the salary space to the main force, and the bench configuration is naturally poor.

Stephenson and Pau Gasol were inside and out, and the Grizzlies' bench was powerless.

The Lakers' lineup configuration, with a balanced starter and bench strength, is fully capable of winning the championship from a certain point of view.

Provided, of course, that Cousins doesn't get provoked and then suddenly go berserk.

At the end of the second quarter, the Lakers led 54-43.

The Grizzlies don't look like they're chasing the point, and if the game goes on like this, it's a sure thing for the Lakers to win this game.

However, the Grizzlies apparently didn't admit defeat so easily, and after seeing that it wasn't the way to play like this, the team's down-payment small forward Parsons took the lead.

On the Lakers' offense, Cousins received the ball deep under the basket and turned around to make a dunk.

At that moment, Parsons made a flying block in the diagonal side.

Cousins, sensing Parsons' approach, sped up the dunk, and the ball that was supposed to be re-dunked became a quick dunk.

The change in tempo cost Parsons the chance to block, but instead of stopping when he was sure he couldn't block, he struck Cousins in the head.

"Bang!"

"Smack!"

At the same time as Cousins dunked, Parsons flashed a slap to the back of his head.

The moment Cousins landed, he was furious, his eyes were blood-red, and he pushed Parsons angrily, and then he was about to do it.

Parsons was also quick to react, raising his hands over his shoulders and hurriedly signaling that he was unintentional.

Cousins was still approaching, and the referee was already ready to blow the whistle.

When Tang Shuai saw this scene, he hurried over, resisted Cousins before he ran away, and kept repeating: "You signed a contract, a technical foul is 500,000!" ”

He kept repeating, Cousins began to be completely unable to control his emotions at all, but he quickly heard the words in Tang Shuai's hand clearly, and the angry state gradually subsided, although his mouth was still broken, but he had already turned away from the place where the conflict occurred.

Because it was the home field, and the conflict was quickly stopped by Tang Shuai, the home referee did not give a technical foul at the first time, but ran to the technical table to watch the video.

After Cousins calmed down, he couldn't help but feel a pain on his face, if he was whistled for a technical foul, then he would not only be in vain in tonight's game, but also have to lose hundreds of thousands.

It hurts to think about it.

Before the referee's decision came out, there was a sudden burst of cheers at the scene.

The players on both sides looked up, and the penalty came out.

Parsons was fouled on defense, and Cousins was not awarded a penalty.

Seeing the penalty, Cousins breathed a sigh of relief, and Tang Shuai couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

Sure enough, Duffy's trick is really effective, when anything is linked to something he cares about, even if he can't control it, he will try to do it.

Cousins, who stabilized his mood, made 2 of 2 free throws from the free throw line to help the Lakers further widen the difference.

However, one defeat obviously couldn't stop the Grizzlies, and after being defended on the offensive end, back to the defensive end, Cousins' back play was violated by Randolph and Parsons, who almost pushed him to the ground in order to defend him.

Cousins' anger instantly rushed to the top of his head, but when he thought that this anger was 500,000, the anger dissipated in an instant.

Waiting for Tang Shuai to send out the ball on the sidelines, he caught the ball in the air with a second pass, he jumped up with all his strength, and smashed the ball to the basket in front of Parsons' defense in the air.

"Bang!"

Parsons was hit in the air, and he flew out of the field directly after being knocked out, and it took him a long time to stand up.

This also drew cheers from the audience.

After the dunk, Cousins went crazy in an instant, like an angry beast, first pulling his clothes and roaring continuously, and then he didn't think it was refreshing enough, and then ran to Parsons, who had just gotten up from the ground, and roared again.

Parsons couldn't help but give Cousins a push, and the referee gave him a technical foul with a flick of his hand.

The audience immediately burst into laughter, after all, this is the home stadium of Los Angeles, and the communication skills of the "rich and handsome" are not good enough to make the referees treat them specially.

Cousins himself was happy, and he stopped yelling, turned around and smiled and slapped Tang Shuai, and then walked to the free throw line.

The two deliberate fouls failed to arouse Cousins' anger, and the Grizzlies were completely helpless, after all, the overall strength was a big difference, and it was really difficult to win when they met a Cousins who was no longer messing around.

120-90, the Lakers defeated the Grizzlies at home, which was their most hearty victory in nearly a month, from start to finish.

And compared to the victory of the game, what makes fans more excited and happy is that in this game, Cousins was unprecedentedly calm except for being impulsive when he was deliberately beaten by Parsons, and this performance also allowed him to play the first three quarters, and finally he contributed 16 points, 15 blue boards and 3 blocks, which is definitely first-class interior data.

It was only then that the media and fans realized the purpose of Cousins' signing of that contract, and they had to admire his courage.

Such a contract, knowing that it is for the team and themselves, but not everyone has the courage to sign it.

In the next game between the Lakers and the Jazz and the Mavericks, Cousins went further, contributing 26 points and 12 rebounds and 18 points and 20 rebounds respectively, and the Lakers also ushered in a wave of consecutive wins.

At this time, there is only less than a month before the end of the regular season, and the Lakers have ended Cousins' biggest trouble before this, and the whole team can be said to have fully entered the state of the playoffs, waiting for the playoffs to come.

However, on this day, Tang Shuai did not prepare for the playoffs with his teammates, he asked Billups for advice, and he was absent from training just to participate in a bicycle ride organized by Swift.

A cycling activity that advocates green travel for citizens, and by the way, it also sends warmth to the homeless people in the United States, killing two birds with one stone.

However, for Tang Shuai, such activities are obviously not the reason for his interest, and Leonard's participation is what he really cares about.
