Chapter 34: The-Stirring Stick
Cousins' mentality has always been a big problem.
He's too easy to get up to.
If you tease it a little, you'll lose your temper.
Then get emotional on the field.
He's like a child.
Technical fouls were a regular occurrence for him.
In the face of some of the old oils on the court, he often became angry.
Then he threw a tantrum at the referee.
Took a technical foul and ended up being penalized.
Wang Shuang obviously knew about Cousins's problem.
He uses [Big Bird's Trash Talk Storage Bag] to keep seducing his emotions with trash talk.
Then harassed him with small movements, which finally led to him going up and fouling.
This kind of offensive foul mistake is not a small blow to the team's morale.
Cousins' own good form has also suffered.
He played well in the first quarter.
The offensive feeling is outstanding, and Hibbert can't stop him at all.
As a result, from the beginning of Wang Shuang's withdrawal of the stool to defend, his feeling was gone.
In the second quarter, he was going to dominate the basket again.
As a result, Wang Shuang's stinky mouth is endless.
There's a lot of work at hand.
At the Lakers' home court, the referees turned a blind eye.
Cousins was out of control.
In the end, Wang Shuang was pushed from above.
In the intra-team confrontation the day before yesterday, Randle pushed Wang Shuang so hard.
Wang Shuang basically didn't move much, as steady as Mount Tai.
Today, it's called a light as a feather, and it will fall down when you touch it.
Cousins, of course, knew that Wang Shuang was pretending.
Just now, when this cargo was defending in front of the front, no matter how much it was pushed, it couldn't be pushed.
This yellow-skinned kid is really solid in the next plate.
Cousins couldn't help but complain to the referee, "He faked a fall, faked a fall!" β
After hearing Wang Shuang say that he was a "fool", he was even more angry.
pointed at Wang Shuang's nose and scolded.
Who is Wang Shuang?
I scolded you, you deserve it.
I can't hear you scolding me.
Raise your hands and turn your face away, when you don't hear.
Then he also motioned to the referee, "Cousins scolded me, he said trash talk, referee, you don't care?" β
Of course, the referee is in charge.
So he gave Cousins a technical foul.
Cousins: That's a wrong.
Obviously, he was the first to talk trash and spray me, and he pulled me with small movements.
Why in the end, it was me who fouled, and it was me who ate T?
Why am I always the one who gets hurt?
Hey, who made you stupid?
The NBA is the highest level of basketball in the world.
In addition to the competition of skills, tactics and body, the brain and ball quotient are also very, very important.
The spectators looked like they were going back and forth, going back and forth, and they were going to play hard.
In fact, there is intrigue all the time.
Playing too honestly is not a good thing in the NBA.
There are too many cheating and slippery old fritters.
And Wang Shuang is a player with a 91% fit with Larry Bird and a 35% match.
It was also equipped with Bird's trash talk storage bag, which was naturally a stadium oil.
It's really easy to tease Cousins.
However, the Kings are not all Cousins-like.
They also have the old fritters of the court, smart people.
It was the Lakers' turn to attack.
Or Wang Shuang and Clarkson's blocking and dismantling cover cooperation.
Now, Wang Shuang's blocking and dismantling cover is already an important tactical start for the Lakers.
As a result, Clarkson just went around the cover and hit the basket.
The ball in my hand was broken!
It's Rondo!
Rondo cut out Clarkson's pass from behind.
The Kings launched a counterattack.
Rondo, who cut the ball, went straight to the basket and killed!
And Wang Shuang followed closely behind to defend.
Rondo wasn't fast.
He dribbled forward while staring at Wang Shuang's footsteps.
As he got close to the basket, there was a sudden slowdown.
Wang Shuang slowed down.
Rondo leaned towards Wang Shuang.
Then jump to the basket.
This time, the two made physical contact in the air.
Although Wang Shuang tried hard to collect it.
But after all, his height and weight are there.
The inertia is so big that it's hard to contain.
As a result, the referee blew the whistle and blew Wang Shuang's defensive foul.
And Wang Shuang knew that he couldn't hold back and wanted to foul.
So simply, a slap on Rondo's arm.
Slap the ball off and don't give him a chance to play 2+1.
Send Rondo to the free-throw line.
Rondo rubbed his wrists, glared at Wang Shuang and said, "Boy, you are ruthless enough." β
Wang Shuang smiled, "This is a competition. β
Rondo felt the sense of oppression in Wang Shuang's body.
This is something that the rest of the Lakers players don't have.
This is not the first time the two teams have met this season.
Previously, the Kings easily defeated the Lakers.
Rondo is also an old rival of the Lakers.
From the 2008 finals to the 2010 finals.
At that time, he was in the Celtics, and he was inseparable from the Lakers.
Nowadays, things are not people.
The Lakers became a fish belly.
He is also adrift in various teams.
Seeing such a sharp player appear in the Lakers, Rondo was very surprised.
Where did this kid come from?
It has become a popular fried chicken now.
Playing against him, it feels obviously difficult to deal with.
Rondo steps to the free-throw line.
Wang Shuang passed by and said, "If you miss the two penalties, you will be equivalent to a mistake." β
Rondo's heart tingled when he heard this.
This kid has a really cheap mouth.
Shooting is inherently Rondo's weakness.
If you are poked in the underbelly, your mentality will be affected.
As a result, the first penalty was missed.
βShitοΌβ Rondo cursed silently.
For the second penalty, he took a deep breath.
At this time, he saw Wang Shuang standing under the basket, making a posture of grabbing rebounds.
With a slight distraction, the ball doesn't feel right.
"Oops! Grab a rebound! Left! β
Rondo shouted.
He himself knows where the ball lands.
As a result, the rebounding ball was firmly controlled by Wang Shuang.
Get the rebound and pass it to Clarkson.
Wang Shuang smiled and said to Rondo: "Thank you for the reminder, and thank you for your mistakes." β
Rondo clenched his fists, this kid is too bad.
The two sides got into a situation where rookies pecked each other midway through the second quarter.
On the Lakers' side, Kobe Bryant is not there, and the offense is not good.
Although Wang Shuang covered well, he shot well.
But he doesn't have the ability to attack on his own.
You can only steal chickens, pick up leaks, and it is difficult to continue to output.
Hitting consecutive three-pointers like in the last game is something you need to feel.
His threes felt average tonight, so he didn't throw around.
The other Lakers players, Clarkson and Lowe have the ability to attack independently.
But I can't drive the whole team, anyway, there is no one.
In contrast, the king would have had a chance to turn the situation around.
However, Wang Shuang continued to cause problems for the Kings on the defensive end.
Always interrupts the king's offensive momentum.
It made Kings head coach George Carr Sr. very anxious.
He can also be regarded as a famous coach in the NBA.
Worked in the NBA for decades, the famous Qiansheng coach.
The offense is very good.
As a result, the king's attack was messed up by Wang Shuang tonight.
A moment to make the king an offensive foul.
It made a mistake for the king in a moment.
His defensive positioning was well chosen.
Mental disturbances are even more terrifying.
It's like constipation, it's always unpleasant.
He couldn't help but say to the assistant coach next to him: "This No. 10 Wang Shuang, did you study him carefully before the game?" β
The assistant coach replied: "Yes, I have studied it, and I also made a special statement when I set it up before the game......"
Karl sighed and said, "What a-stirring stick!" β
