NBA: Crazy Little Giant

DeMarcus Cousins has an unhappy look on his face.

It's not because his playing time tonight is limited, but just now, DeMarcus Cousins, the league's top center last season, learned that he was traded.

Although he is very dissatisfied with the current Kings and has thought about leaving.

But he hopes that the team can rebuild and strengthen around him.

However, the Kings have long lost patience with him.

Although he is still young and has a lot of untapped potential, Cousins has never led the team to the finals since he was selected by the Kings.

Even in the past few seasons, Cousins was considered by many fans to be the league's top center.

But because he has never entered the playoffs, he has been questioned by fans.......

""Bang!"

On the court,

Cousins, who looked unhappy, broke through with the ball in the high position, with Paul George hanging on his body, rushed to the basket, and dunked through Antetokounmpo.

Cousins used this method to vent his dissatisfaction.

This shot made the fans at the scene exclaim.

The strength of the West is originally stronger than that of the East. Even James Harden can only play as a substitute.

His cousin Lillard did not even make the All-Star team.

If Lillard was put in the East, he could be the All-Star starter.

With the addition of Chen Cheng...

The strength of the two sides is becoming more and more disparate......

"Chen, this angry DeMarcus...It's really a bit difficult to deal with."Curry, who was sitting next to Chen Cheng, couldn't help but sigh as he watched Cousins' performance.

"Yeah. His combination with AD is indeed a big problem."

"Maybe there will be a black 7 miracle!"

Chen Cheng half-jokingly joked.

The Thunder is now the first in the league.

The Warriors are second in the league and second in the West. The

Pelicans are currently ranked sixth in the West, but there is not much difference between them and the seventh in the West. They are likely to fall to the seventh in the West and face the Golden State Warriors in the first round of the playoffs.

The twin tower combination of Cousins and Davis should make the Warriors suffer.

"Black Seven Miracle?"

Curry rolled his eyes.

"Chen, if San Antonio wants to drop to seventh place, it will be a bit difficult."Curry said unhappily.

San Antonio Spurs!

Third in the West!

The gap between the top three teams in the West and the rest is huge. Although there is still one-third of the schedule to the end of the regular season, the top three positions are unshakable by the teams behind.

What puzzled Chen Cheng was what was the relationship between the Spurs and Cousins?

"Chen, where did you read this gossip?"

"DeMarcus is not going to New Orleans, but San Antonio."

Curry saw Chen Cheng's confusion and said with a teasing smile

""Ah!?" Chen Cheng was shocked by this.

Just now, the league reported that Cousins was traded to the Kings.

Chen Cheng clearly remembered that in his previous life, Cousins was traded to the Pelicans and formed the"City of Empty Cuts" with another king of empty cuts AD.

However, Cousins has been affected by injuries since the beginning of this season.

He was injured before the playoffs.

But what Chen Cheng never expected was...

Cousins was actually sent to the Spurs.

The Kings, eager to sell Cousins, almost gave him away for free.

None of the Spurs' main players were missing.

The trading chips were just the team's scraps and future draft picks....

Durant, who was resting on the bench, couldn't help but frown.

The Spurs already had the ability to compete with the Warriors. Now with Cousins joining the team and Popovich coaching, the Spurs may become the biggest obstacle in the West.

In terms of the depth and completeness of the team, it is better than the Thunder.

At this time, Chen Cheng...

In addition to being surprised, there is also excitement.

I hope Cousins can stay healthy and compete again on the playoff stage....

The Spurs are the third in the Western Conference.

Unless they surpass the Warriors, who are the second in the Western Conference, they can't touch me.......

On the court.

Cousins was venting his dissatisfaction, and at the same time, he used his strength to prove how stupid it was for the Kings to give up on him.

Cousins, who was caught in a reckless mood, was soon targeted by the opponent.

Consecutive mistakes!

The Eastern Conference had a big climax.

The score was narrowed to 28 points.

Kerr asked for a timeout at this time.

The water was almost released.

It was time to harvest the game.

Chen Cheng led the team to appear again. At

8 minutes and 21 seconds in the fourth quarter.

The cheers of the fans rang out again.

With a long pass from Curry at the midfield logo to Chen Cheng.

After an alley-oop dunk!

Curry's single-game assists data reached 23.

Tied Magic Johnson......

At 9 minutes and 35 seconds in the fourth quarter,

Chen Cheng blocked Irving's layup.

The number of blocked shots reached an astonishing 10!

He got his fourth triple-double in the All-Star Game.

Before this, there were three triple-doubles in the history of the NBA All-Star Game.

Jordan in 1997, 14 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists.

Wade in 2012, 24 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists.

In 2011, James had 29 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists, but his Eastern Conference lost to the Western Conference.

But Chen Cheng's triple-double today is different from theirs.

He didn't have a triple-double of points, assists and rebounds.

It was a triple-double of points, rebounds and blocks.

30 points, 31 rebounds and 10 blocks!

Among them, although Chen Cheng had 7 blocks in a single quarter, the players were not fools. Knowing how strong you are, who would deliberately challenge you?

For this reason, it was not until the fourth quarter that Chen Cheng got 10 blocks.

And Chen Cheng's triple-double data.

Without a doubt, it is the strongest triple-double in the NBA All-Star Game.

Whether it is points, rebounds or blocks, it is better than other players who get triple-doubles.......

In the last 2 minutes, the West let the game go again.

In the end, they defeated the East by 23 points.

After the game, the most popular topic among fans was undoubtedly the All-Star Game MVP....

Previous years' records were like free cabbage, easily broken.

Westbrook, Curry and Thompson were all very impressive.

But they still couldn't shake Chen Cheng's position.

After the game...

While the officials were discussing who should be awarded the MVP, all the fans stood up and shouted loudly:"Chen, MVP!"

"Chen, MVP!"......

On the other hand, in the San Antonio Spurs' executive meeting room

"I don't want our team to face Golden State too early!"Popovich said in a deep voice.

Popovich did not want to meet the Warriors in the second round of the playoffs, which meant that the Spurs wanted to give up the third place.

The fourth place in the West would be able to face the Thunder in the second round.

This decision made most of the senior management nod in agreement.

Cousins' joining will take some time to get used to.

Although the Golden State Warriors are currently second in the West, their foundation and depth are much easier to deal with than the Thunder , which is in its heyday. Almost everyone agreed with Popovich's decision to pick opponents.

Only a middle-aged man with a dull expression and a gray beard shook his head slightly.

The expression on his face was very helpless.

Popovich's style of doing things can be described as"dictatorial".

He is not the kind of good man.

Kindness does not command an army!

Nothing more than that.

Tim Duncan, a dull-looking idle Spurs staff member, was specially invited. Although he could understand the decision of his old coach, he did not agree.

This method looks good.

But will deliberately picking opponents make the team lose the courage to fight against the strong!

And...

The Thunder are not necessarily weaker than the Warriors.

What's more, the growth rate of that big guy is really too fast.
