Cousins was very depressed, quite depressed, and extremely depressed.
During the Xiaohua era, he was pulled out of various military training. Now in the Tatum era, he still cannot avoid this experience!
It seems that it is not Xiao Hua that made him experience this encounter, but the era of **** little balls.
No, it's this **** Tang Tian!
How can this guy vote so accurately and suddenly so hard, it's just a monster!
He hasn't seen such a perverted guy for so many years, including the NCAA.
This guy is like a gangster!
In the first half of the first quarter, there are various tactical games between the two sides.
But in the second half, it turned into a scene of Tang Tian singles Cousins and the Rockets singles Jokic.
The two traditional centers were pulled out of various military training and enjoyed the feeling of running on the beach in summer.
But it's clear that the Pelicans are more efficient in scoring.
Small and big, Tang Tian's advantage is too great.
Cousins was about to be beaten before he was beaten.
In this section, Tang Tiandan scored 14 points in the face of his "cousin". The real score was seven in and seven out, killing it all.
The Rockets also trailed the Pelicans by a double-digit margin of 22 to 32 in this quarter.
In the second quarter's bench transition, Gordon was in a hot state, but Williams and Boyan finally found the state on the Pelicans.
When the main force returns, 30 to 40, or 10 points difference.
Suspended from returning to the Rockets' offense, Paul continued to misplace Jokic.
If Harden is taken care of by Tang Tian, Paul dreams of returning to New Orleans and has a lot of shot rights, but his strength is obviously not going back.
In the first round of the attack, his hands were not hot, and his shot burst at the front of the rim, and Davis took the rebound.
Looking back, Tang Tian also continued to play Cousins.
Cousins mobilized the body cells of the whole body, making the power of feeding milk and Tang Tian's pace, but was almost shaken in the end.
"Oh!"
After Tang Tian shakes him, he steadily hits and pulls dry.
After seven ins and seven outs, the cousin's hard resistance did not help, and Tang Tian still demanded.
Paul hit Jokic again, but he still didn't make his shot.
Looking back, Tang Tian continued to play Cousins. This time he lowered the dribble enough times. Cousins was anxious to prove that his center of gravity was not under control and he was shaken to the ground!
Tang Tian waited until Cousins got up before he shot!
A wave of 4 to 0, the point difference has reached 14 points!
Cousins got red with his eyes raised, and he noticed D'Antoni shaking his head on the sidelines.
Obviously, he has been made a joke tonight.
For the Rockets' offense, Paul still sought Cousins for a pick-and-roll, but this time he went out and stuffed the ball to Cousins.
Although Paul's offensive ability is not as good as the peak, but his hand control and passing are stronger than the peak.
Cousins got the ball, slammed Hollodi, and slammed the ball into the basket with both hands.
He was holding his belly in flames, and after hanging the dunk successfully, he hung from the hoop before landing, and after that, he burst into a roar.
This ball is so cool!
The cheers at the scene exploded.
This ball is more deflated than just throwing a two-pointer.
Looking back, Tang Tian hit Cousins again.
Deafening cheering sounded from the audience.
"Defend! Defend!"
The fans are all cheering for Cousins this time.
Nothing is impossible, even if he looks out of reach, but there is hope as long as you work hard!
They believe Cousins can do it!
Cousins did the same, this time he rarely kept up with Tang Tian.
Tang Tian's first wave of shaking failed to shake off Cousins.
Even if speed is an advantage, lowering the dribble is only a blue skill.
However, his offense is obviously not just as simple as shaking people. He relies on the right time to step up and accelerate, and then changes dramatically.
Cousins didn't keep up.
Tang Tianla came back and stopped.
Just then, an accident happened.
Cousins really worked hard to prevent it, Tang Tian changed direction drastically, and he followed it.
His head kept up, but he didn't keep up with his huge weight.
That is, he wanted to bash Tang Tian at the end, exerting too much force, and left his hands on the side, and then fell directly to the ground in pain.
Tang Tian's shot failed to hit this time, Cousins' hard defense still received results.
But it wasn't important at this moment to enter. After Cousins fell to the ground, D'Antoni called for a timeout.
Cousins had a painful expression. After covering his ankles for a while, he rolled over and hit the floor with his right hand.
Obviously, this time he was not twisted.
The team doctor soon came on the scene. After communication, a wheelchair was pushed on the scene.
He helped Cousins into a wheelchair, and the team doctor quickly returned him to the locker room.
This situation came very suddenly, and everyone didn't expect it.
Including Tang Tian, he just got rid of it normally.
And when Cousins was injured, the two did not have any physical contact.
It can only be said that the intensity of the confrontation in this round of the series is too great, and with the cheering of the fans on the sidelines, Cousins wanted to prevent the ball too much, which led to excessive force. And Leonard was stepped on by Pachulia.
But the same is that Cousins' injury and retreat greatly damaged the Rockets. They could only go to the young Capella, and the Pelicans also pulled the score further.
Capella is now much weaker than Capella in the same period.
Players are played out by playing time and ball right. Capella has limited playing time as Cousins as a substitute. You can't expect him to open up instantly.
In the end, the Rockets failed to usher in a victory at home, losing 91-106.
After losing this game, they are also behind the Pelicans 0-3 in the big score.
However, the statistics and big scores of this game are not so important, because after Leonard, he hurt another superstar.
This year's playoffs have been a bit brutal.
And the next day's MRI report showed that Cousins' condition was more serious than Leonard's.
The Achilles tendon is torn.
These four words are like nightmares for basketball players.
For this injury, the recovery time after surgery alone is at least 8 months.
Of course, this is not the most serious. The serious problem is that the Achilles tendon cannot be fully exerted after the injury.
In other words, this is equivalent to letting the athlete lose most of the bounce directly.
This is absolutely deadly in the NBA where birds are flying around.
In NBA history, many players have suffered from Achilles tendon lacerations. The best known are the "Smiling Assassin" Isaiah Thomas and "Captain" Elton Brad.
The former career ended directly in advance, while the latter became a passer-by from All-Stars.
The result of this inspection is even more nightmare for the Rockets, which means that their Big Three lineup is over at this moment.
Not just now, but the future.
