On the Pelicans' all-team flight to San Antonio, Bushy Eyebrows had a smile on his face all the time, and he finally had a strong helper, and he was also the league's No. 1 center, Cousins. Although the latter is not easy to control his emotions and makes foul moves on www.biquge.info the court, this is one of the reasons why the Kings management is willing to trade Cousins, and no one from the management or the coach can suppress his temperament.

He didn't think the Pelicans management and coaches could do a better job than the Kings, and he wasn't sure how to control Cousins, but he felt that the taste of victory might make Cousins docile.

In order to shorten the distance, Thick Eyebrows sat with Cousins, and the two talked and laughed on the plane together, watched movies together, and talked about basketball together.

"How many points do you think the two of us can score against the Spurs? 50 points? 55 points? Or 60 points? Brother Bushy asked Cousins next to him on the plane.

Cousins laughed: "Then it depends on how capable the Spurs' interior players are." ”

Brother Thick Mei asked again: "Do you think if the two of us score 60 points together, can we win?" ”

With a smile still on his face, Cousins said, "No one can lose with a 60-point double inside line. ”

The two then looked at each other and smiled, their eyes full of confidence.

……

Tonight, the Spurs will face the Pelicans, who have the league's strongest twin towers, Popovich made a special change before the game, so that the defensive Ibaka and Diamond started the game, with only one task, to defend Brother Thick and Cousins, as for Ade and sister-in-law, the two of them are responsible for taking the bench to maintain the Spurs' offensive firepower when the main players of the two sides are off the court, and strive to gain an advantage in the bench encounter.

Although with the addition of Cousins, the Pelicans' starting lineup has improved by leaps and bounds, but the strength of the bench has declined, after all, the management of the Kings will not give Cousins for nothing, and several players with good strength will be taken from the Pelicans.

The Pelicans started the game in the evening, and with the addition of Cousins, they have the confidence to make the playoffs, and they don't want to be locked out of the playoffs again.

The Pelicans surrounded Cousins and chanted his name to make him feel encouraged by his teammates, and head coach Gentry also walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Come on, let's take the fruits of victory from the Spurs tonight." ”

On the Spurs' side, Ibaka and Diamond are both in a tight position, there is no nervous look on their faces, they are both professional players, this emotion should have been forgotten a long time ago, but the heart is not calm.

Ibaka is a little better, he has worked hard in the league for many years, and has played against Cousins and Bushy Eyebrows many times on the court, although the data is a little worse, but he has played well and has confidence.

But Diamond has always been a homeless man in the league, full of vicissitudes, and used to be a marginal player who couldn't even guarantee playing time, even if he had the opportunity to play against Bushy Brother and Cousins, it would be a complete explosion. Today was the first time he played against the two as a starter, and he felt a lot in his heart.

Before the start of the game, Popovich also told the Spurs that the victory or defeat of the outside line is in their hands, and if they want to keep the home victory, they must play their best.

After the shooting warm-up, the starters began to stand up on the court and prepare for the jump ball.

The Spurs started Parker, Ho Dong, Leonard, Ibaka, Diamond.

The Pelicans' starters are Holiday , Solomon Hill, Hollis Thompson, Bushy Eyebrows, Cousins.

In the starting lineup, the Spurs have a good scoring strength except for Diamond, and on the Pelicans' side, Solomon Hill and Hollis Thompson are completely two passers-by, and the meaning of being on the court is to serve the two interior lines. The offense was all left to Holiday and the double inside.

Cousins won with an easy jump and then received a pass from his teammate at the three-point line.

This was Kaoshen's debut with the Pelicans, and his teammates were naturally very happy to share the ball and give him the opportunity to attack first.

Diamond was in a deep position, and he was worried that the defense would be too close and the former would pass him, but this defensive strategy gave him plenty of room to shoot.

Standing at the three-point line, with no one in front of him, Kaoshen chose a three-point shot, as a center in the new era, the three-point line is not a blind spot.

The basketball is hollow into the net, and it seems that Kaoshen feels good today.

With high-fives and celebrations with his teammates, Cousins scored his first point on the Pelicans on the first offense, and with a smile on his face, Cousins may get a win today.

But the Spurs are not vegetarian either, Parker controls the ball to the frontcourt, and He Dong immediately asks for the ball.

After receiving the ball, the crotch changed direction twice in a row to shake Solomon Hill, and then accelerated to break through, passing the passerby A in this kind of alliance is easy for He Dong, using his physical advantage to pass in one step, and then facing Brother Thick Mei's supplementary defense and throwing.

The basketball hit the board, He Dong scored 2 points for the Spurs, and the score came to 2-3.

In the subsequent Pelicans' offense, this time it was Brother Thick Mei who received the ball, in the face of Ibaka's defense, Brother Thick Mei chose to break through at the free throw line distance like a guard, although he was physically strong and his skills were great, but Ibaka's defense was not bad, and he did not have the slightest slowness and messiness in his footsteps. The body has been clinging to the body of Brother Thick Eyebrows.

Brother Thick Mei leaned on the defense, and when he sprinted to the basket, he suddenly made a move to retreat, and the retreat was very large, and he immediately staggered two positions, and then made a successful shot.

The score came to 2-5. It seems that Cousins and Bushy Eyebrows are in good form today, and the twin towers are bound to win.

It was the Spurs' turn to attack again, this time it was still He Dong who received the ball, and it was still easy to pass Hill, but this time He Dong did not choose to shoot by himself, and he found Leonard standing in the bottom corner.

The latter received the ball, faced Hollis Thompson, and very decisively chose a three-point shot.

With a bang, the basketball hollowed into the net, and the score was tied.

The Pelicans then handed over all the offense to Cousins to finish, and Cousins, who got the ball, was in great shape today, feeling like a god, facing Diamond many times with singles, in addition to the ordinary back play and turn hook hand, there was also a crushing inside push dunk.

Cousins stuck in the low post, received Holiday with a ground-hitting pass, faced Diamond, his body pushed hard, Diamond stumbled at his feet, the defense did not keep up, the former immediately killed the basket, and rose flat to complete a domineering two-handed dunk.

After several offensive successes, Cousins scored 10 points in a row, including a three-pointer he made in the opening stage at the beginning, and before the first quarter was played, Cousins had already scored 13 points, which was very powerful.
