Chapter 357: Cousins' Brain Disease
In April, the NCAA Championship single-elimination game has entered a white-hot state, and after the final four are born, two teams will compete for the finals. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 At this point, the NCAA has surpassed the NBA in viewership, and the world's attention is focused on the most glamorous college league.
Coupled with the fact that the NBA game is coming to an end, most teams have ended the season early, and only a few teams can attract attention to compete for the 8th place in the playoffs. So, in such a situation, fans will be more enthusiastic about the NCAA.
Without the shroud of focus, the Lakers face a lot less pressure. This allowed Chu Xuan to take the Lakers to the last few games of April in a better environment.
For Chu Xuan, the game he paid the most attention to in April was the match against the King, which was the game he had been waiting for for a long time. Because in the previous three games, the Lakers lost all to the Kings. This has always been in his heart, and in this game, Chu Xuan's purpose is to be ashamed and prove in an absolute way that the Kings are not worth mentioning at all.
The race will be held on the 2nd.
The Lakers arrived in the city of Saramento the afternoon before.
And early the next morning, Chu Xuan took the players to the Ake Arena to practice.
What no one expected was that on this morning, the two sides began to verbally collide.
The instigator is DeMarcus Cousins, a big man who looked extremely arrogant when interviewed by the Saramento Bee reporter, and it seems that the Lakers are not worth mentioning in his eyes at all.
"We're going to beat them for the fourth time and then I'm going to take the team to the playoffs and I want to be in eighth place so we can give them four more defeats in the first round."
Cousins' remarks caused an immediate uproar, which was absolutely a naked mockery. Before the game even started, he had already shouted the slogan that he would definitely beat the Lakers. That's understandable, because sometimes some players say that when they're morale-boosting. It's just that what makes people feel speechless is that Cousins actually shouted out the arrogant remarks of the Black Eight Lakers when the Kings didn't even get a playoff spot.
"This is absolutely stupid to say. I think he might be an idiot, otherwise he wouldn't have felt like they were our opponents. And judging from the way he spoke, it seems that they should have won more than 60 wins, not us. Actually, I just want to ask him, what is it that makes him so confident? Chu Xuan directly burst out foul language.
"Chu is absolutely right, DeMarcus is definitely an idiot. Judging by the way he's thinking about things, I think they've already locked up the O'Brien Cup ahead of schedule. But in fact, Saramento is still busy with the No. 8 position, and I really don't know where he got his leisure from. In the face of Cousins' attack, Kobe Bryant also immediately fought back.
"There's a saying about what's going on, yes, big minds. Well, I'll tell him today to understand what regret is. I think after this game, he can think about going back to fishing, instead of worrying about how to make the playoffs. It's really arrogant to the point of being brain-dead...... Perhaps, he is still dreaming in his sleep. Because a sober guy wouldn't be brain-dead to his degree. Knoll followed suit.
Suddenly, Cousins, who was brain-dead, was besieged by the Lakers.
The game suddenly became interesting, and many people were looking forward to whether the Lakers would embarrass Cousins, or whether Cousins would really be able to lead the Kings to defeat the Lakers all over the season!
In fact, Cousins' remarks did shroud the game in great public opinion and spectacle. Because, now the Kings are competing with the Jazz, Spurs, Rockets and Pelicans for a playoff spot, and the Kings, who are already at a disadvantage in this competition, need this key victory against the Lakers. And if they lose, the Kings' chances of qualifying for the playoffs are only theoretical.
It seems that Cousins' words successfully pushed the game to the highest point, and the situation became very interesting.
However, this intense war of words also completely made people pay a lot of attention to Cousins. And the name of the league's No. 1 center was also shouted more frequently at this time. And many people are very curious about whether this super center forward can really fulfill his promise.
Cousins himself does have a lot of pride to be proud of, and this season he's been able to reach the league's top interior level. As of now, his individual performance has averaged 20 points and 12 rebounds, and he has begun to dominate. Obviously, under the explosion of self-confidence, Cousins, who is already a little brain-dead, can still be understood to be so arrogant.
However, for him, he also succeeded in angering the Lakers, so what everyone is concerned about is, how will this big man end?
Arco Arena.
At 7:30 p.m., the big screen was showing Cousins' individual performances in the last seven games.
Against the Atlanta Hawks, he was 6-of-12 for 23 points and 19 rebounds.
Against the Cleveland Cavaliers, he was 10-of-16 from the field with 21 points and 20 rebounds.
Against the Oklahoma City Thunder, he was 8-of-19 from the field, with 20 points, 13 rebounds and 7 assists.
Against the Miami Heat, he was 10-of-18 from the field, with 23 points and 15 rebounds.
Against the Charlotte Hornets, he was 15-of-23 for 32 points and 15 rebounds.
Against the Toronto Raptors, he was 15-of-25 from the field and had 35 points and 11 boards.
Against the Los Angeles Clippers, he was 10-of-18 from the field, with 26 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 blocks.
In other words, in the seven games before this game with the Lakers, Cousins averaged 25.7 points and 14.9 rebounds per game, had a double-double in all seven games, and also scored a double-20.
With such an amazing individual performance, it's no wonder that Cousins has inflated his self-confidence.
"Hehe, it's really a very eye-catching performance. But, will I give you a chance in this game? Definitely not, since you hit the muzzle of the gun yourself, then let's take you before the playoffs. ”
Chu Xuan, who was standing on the sidelines, watched coldly, and his heart was even more resentful, he had already decided to give Cousins a good look.
is the so-called killing chickens and monkeys, in this kind of thing, the Lakers seem to be unable to back down. Otherwise, no one will dare to step on the Lakers' head in the future.
"Chu, this guy is not to be afraid. Shaq was much stronger than him at the beginning, but in the end, he didn't have to pay the price of growth. Today's young people are indeed a little unscrupulous. Kobe Bryant said relentlessly.
Chu Xuan nodded lightly, noncommittal.
No matter how strong Cousins is, compared to the big diesel engine O'Neal, it is not half a star.
And you know, even if O'Neal is still there, the Lakers won't be afraid, let alone a guy like him.
"This ball, hit it with all your might, hit it hard!" (To be continued.) )
