The Way of the Center

Cousins ​​was raised by his mother since he was a child, and his hometown, Mobile, is also a place with a high crime rate.

In such an environment, many children from black families may have stepped out of the house early, joined a certain black gang, and started petty theft. Over time, petty theft will become armed robbery, and it will become a serious crime. What's more, Cousins ​​is still a child who is only taken care of by his mother.

But this good boy didn't cause trouble to the family. He went to high school for his duty, and his basketball talents began to show up in high school.

In addition to his high talent in basketball, God also gave Cousins ​​a body that is very suitable for playing basketball. He is always much taller than children of the same age. On the basketball court, few people can face Cousins ​​in a head-on confrontation.

So those children who are shorter than him, but actually a few years older than him, always use some "unconventional" methods to deal with Cousins.

When Cousins ​​makes moves at the basket, opponents often use flops. They often complained to the referee that Cousins ​​elbowed them, and the parents of those children thought Cousins ​​was hurting them. In fact, when those kids couldn't compete with Cousins, they would push him, beat him, and hurt him. Cousins ​​had his front teeth knocked out four times on the basketball court, and now none of the things in his mouth are real.

Cousins' "complaining" started from that time. Since childhood, Cousins' educational philosophy has been black and white. It is precisely because of this concept that Cousins ​​misses crime. But in the same way, this straightforward child will always appear irritable in the face of "unfair" treatment.

An Jie's flops and the small movements that evoked his unpleasant memories undoubtedly made Cousins ​​feel unfair. Therefore, his temper has been warming up all the way, to the point of simply fighting with An Jie.

But just now, An Jie slammed into him severely with his shoulder and spoke to himself. In this regard, the referee did not say anything, those Portland fans still treat An Jie as a hero. All this is naturally inconsistent with the "justice" in Cousins' heart.

Anjie’s basketball philosophy is: “As long as you can win, there is no distinction between good and evil on the basketball court.”

And Cousins' philosophy is either black or white. An Jie hurts himself, Cousins ​​must return it!

The collision of two completely opposite concepts is the main reason why Anjie and Cousins ​​are at odds.

So in the next game, the duel between the two big men became more intense. Fans are screaming for this wonderful inside melee, but few people find that the Kings have become passive because of Cousins' capriciousness.

As long as the ball comes to Cousins, the rest of the Kings basically don't have to think about receiving the ball. As a result, the Kings naturally cannot implement any effective tactics. If the tactics are not implemented, the Kings coach Gith Smart will yell at Cousins ​​off the court. Smart's roar will naturally affect Cousins. Originally, Anjie's defense was very tight, and if he was disturbed by his emotions, Cousins' offensive efficiency became unsatisfactory.

Taking advantage of the time when the Kings were in chaos, Ricard did not intend to play this kind of play house game with them. Lillard immediately organized several effective offenses and instantly widened the difference between the two teams to 8 points.

After that, Aldridge formed a dislocation with Cousins ​​in an attack. Aldridge made Cousins' second foul with a back-to-back motion of turning forward and then making a fake shot. As soon as the foul was fouled, Cousins ​​had to go off the court and rest. After all, the first quarter of the game hasn't been finished yet, and Guise Smart didn't dare to risk this grumpy guy.

When Cousins ​​was forced to replace, Ricard also replaced Anjie, Aldridge and Iguodala. The Blazers entered the second team time, and without the King of Cousins, even the Blazers second team's firepower could not resist.

When the first quarter ended, Cousins' anger instead of getting vented, but accumulating. Just on the court, Cousins ​​did not get Anjie's cheapness, and the team is now temporarily behind with a 25-18 lead. None of this can bring Cousins ​​back to peace.

"DeMarcus! You have to pass the ball to me! This is not a game for you alone, you have to lead the team to win, instead of focusing on your own goal!" Gith Smart rushed in annoyed manner. Cousins ​​said.

Cousins ​​had a big fight with this guy just before, and now he doesn't want to fight with this guy too much. After Smart finished speaking, Cousins ​​didn't say anything, he still put a wet towel around his neck, and his head dropped. Smart shook his head. He wished Cousins ​​would listen, even if it was a word!

As soon as the second quarter started, Cousins ​​returned to the game. Facing the Trail Blazers substitutes J.J. Hickson and Meyers Leonard, Cousins ​​was finally proud to show his comprehensive offensive skills.

Don't be fooled by Cousins' fierce appearance. In fact, Cousins ​​is not a center like Howard. His post skills are very solid, and his shooting is also very good. J.J. Hickson and Leonard are not like Anjie, they neither dare to mess with Cousins, nor can they beat Cousins.

With the Trail Blazers playing on the bench, the 8-point advantage was instantly chased by Cousins ​​with only 2 points left. Seeing that the Kings were about to rise, Ricard was the first to call the first timeout in the second quarter. Although the call was earlier, the purpose of this timeout is also very clear: "Change to the starting five, and then block the spirit of the Kings!"

"Ann, I don't know how you did it. In short, help me teach that kid!" After JJ Hickson returned to the bench, he slammed Gatorade into his mouth. No way, he just did it. It was choked by Cousins.

"Don't worry, J.J, I will help you with the color." An Jie patted Hickson on the shoulder, you know, Hickson is already a tough insider! This shows how violent Cousins ​​is now. Perhaps he in the second quarter will be more difficult to deal with than before.

Sure enough, in the first attack after returning from the suspension, An Jie ate Cousins ​​a big hot pot. Cousins, who played with confidence and feeling in the second team of the Trail Blazers, was much more excited than just now.

That goal was a misplacement between An Jie and Jason Thompson. Facing Thompson, An Jie held the ball face-to-face and successfully broke through with a three-threat step and entered the penalty area. Just after Anjie made a layup, Cousins ​​suddenly came back from the side. This guy's take-off height surprised An Jie, because Cousins ​​jumped much higher than the first quarter! Emotional players, their abilities will also be influenced by emotions.

Cousins ​​straightened his arms and fanned the basketball in the final moment before it fell.

After completing the block, Cousins ​​did not hide his joy at all. He waved his fist fiercely and yelled at the Kings' stand. This move has undoubtedly continued to heat up the atmosphere on the scene.

"You should have come to kiss me, China guy!" Cousins ​​whispered to An Jie in an angry voice, responding to An Jie's lips in the first quarter.

Now, the tempers on both sides of Anjie and Cousins ​​have been pushed to the brink of explosion.

On the defensive end, Anjie brought down Cousins ​​in a nearly wrestling motion.

On the offensive end, Cousins ​​threw Anjie down with a "enthusiastic" bear hug.

An Jie's elbow hit Cousins's chest and Cousins' knees overwhelmed An Jie's legs.

The two have been patient, waiting for one of them to lose control first.

After playing like this for a long time in the second quarter, the Blazers in good condition quickly re-established their score advantage. And Cousins ​​facing Anjie, his offensive efficiency can not be compared with just now.

In the last two minutes, Lillard controlled the ball and rushed inside. This was Brooks' strike from beyond the three-point line. Anjie grabbed offensive rebounds and used a long pass to let Lillard end the offense.

Brooks' shot and iron not only gave Lillard a chance to "take off", but also made Cousins ​​very dissatisfied.

If it was before, it wouldn't matter if teammates didn't make a shot. But now, when Cousins ​​was so angry because of Anjie and the team's backwardness, he would magnify the faults of his teammates infinitely.

So seeing Lillard is about to complete a dunk, and Cousins ​​is still some distance away from chasing. The frustrated Cousins ​​chose to directly push Lillard. In short, he just didn't want to see the Blazers players score under his nose!

Lillard's impact speed is already fast, and the inertia after flying into the air is even greater. Now being pushed like this again, Lillard flew directly out of the court and only dropped into the auditorium obliquely behind the basket!

"This ball is too rude! This is an unsportsmanlike foul! I hope Lillard is not harmed because of this!" Even Ke Fan, who was commenting on the game in China, couldn't stand Cousins' behavior just now.

An Jie rushed over to check Lillard's situation. When passing by Cousins, Cousins ​​picked up the basketball on the ground and deliberately "passed the ball" to the referee. As a result, the basketball hit the back of An Jie's head. . The referee has made a decision, he put the whistle in his mouth, a second-level malicious foul, Cousins ​​will receive the most severe punishment.

Just as the referee was about to blow his whistle, the scene before him stunned the referee. I saw An Jie immediately turned his head and hit Cousins ​​with his chest. Cousins ​​was about to turn around murderously, and An Jie hit Cousins ​​with an uppercut with his left hand!

Cousins ​​also reacted quickly. He quickly flashed to the side, not being directly hit by An Jie's fist, but was rubbed a little. But even so, the force of this blow is still not small!

"Fuck you, what are you going to do!?" Seeing the tense suddenly escalate, Ricard also walked into the court. After being punched by An Jie, Cousins ​​immediately prepared to fight back, but Chuck Hayes grabbed Cousins' fist that he was about to throw. At the same time, the players on both sides were in a mess. Some of them were busy separating the two of them, while others took the opportunity to get rid of them.

And what about Anjie and Cousins? The two still reluctantly tried to break free from the shackles~www.NovelMTL.com~ It seemed that they wanted to fight a life and death. The fans are happy, they watch this game, isn't it for this kind of picture?

"You're **** kid, you're **** fucked!" Cousins ​​pointed at Anjie's nose in the crowd and cursed.

"If you have a kind, you can try it, softie!" An Jie was not to be outdone.

In the end, the two big men gradually recovered their calm under the restraint of their teammates. At this time, An Jie discovered that Ricard's suit, who was pushing him tightly, had been disheveled, and Cousins' jersey had been completely deformed. It was also at this time that the referee was angrily standing between the two groups of people.

"Oh, no. The referee blew Ann and DeMarcus a second-level malicious foul! These two guys will be sent directly off the court!" Mike Brin said in disbelief.
