Chapter 454: Challenging

Cousins ​​was raised by his mother since childhood, and his hometown of Mobile was also a place where crime rates remained high.

In such an environment, many children from black families may step out of the house early, join a black gang, and start thieving. Over time, thieving will turn into armed robbery and will turn into serious crimes. What's more, Cousins ​​is still a child who is only cared for by his mother.

But this good boy did not cause trouble for his family. He went to high school carefully, and his basketball talent began to show.

In addition to his extremely talented talent in basketball, God also gave Cousins ​​a figure that was very suitable for playing basketball. He was always much taller than his children of the same age, and on the basketball court, few people can confront Cousins ​​in head-on confrontation.

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

When Cousins ​​is doing movements at the basket, their opponents often use fake falls. They often complain to the referee about Cousins ​​elbowing them, and parents of those children think Cousins ​​is hurting their flesh and blood. In fact, when those children cannot compete with Cousins, they push him, hit him, and hurt him. Cousins ​​once had his front teeth four times on the basketball court, and now none of the things in his mouth are real.

Cousins' "complaints" began from that time. Since childhood, Cousins ​​received an educational philosophy that was either black or white. It was precisely because of this philosophy that Cousins ​​missed the crime. But equally, this child with a direct personality always seemed irritable in the face of "unfair" treatment.

Anjie's fake falls and the small movements that evoke his unpleasant memories undoubtedly made Cousins ​​feel injustice. Therefore, his temper also heated up all the way, and he simply fought with Anjie with dirty things.

But just now, Anjie hit himself hard with his shoulders and spoke to him. The referee did not express any expression to this, and those Portland fans still regarded Anjie as a hero. All this naturally did not match Cousins's "fairness" in his heart.

Anjie accepted the basketball philosophy: "As long as you can win, there is no distinction between good and evil on the basketball court."

Cousins' philosophy is either black or white. If Anjie hurts himself, Cousins ​​must return it!

The collision of two completely opposite ideas is the main reason why Anjie and Cousins ​​are incompatible.

Therefore, in the next game, the showdown between the two big men became more intense. Fans were clamoring for this wonderful inside fight, but few people showed up. The Kings had already fallen into a passive position because of Cousins' willfulness.

As long as the ball comes to Cousins, the rest of the Kings will basically not have to think about receiving the ball again. In this way, the Kings naturally cannot implement any effective tactics. If the tactics cannot be implemented, Kings coach Gis Smart will roar at Cousins ​​off the court. Smart's roar will naturally affect Cousins. Originally, Anger's defense was very strict, and if he was disturbed by emotions, Cousins' offensive efficiency became unpleasant.

Taking advantage of the Kings' unstoppable situation, Ricard did not intend to play such a house-playing game with them. Lillard immediately organized several effective attacks, instantly widening the gap between the two teams to 8 points.

Afterwards, Aldridge was dislocated with Cousins ​​in another offense. Aldridge used a back-to-beat move to turn and make a fake shot to make Cousins ​​a second foul. As soon as the foul was made, Cousins ​​had to go off the court to rest. After all, the first quarter game had not been finished, and Gith Smart dared not take risks with this irritable guy.

When Cousins ​​was forced to replace, Ricard also replaced Angel, Aldridge and Iguodala one after another. The Trail Blazers entered the second team, and the Kings who lacked Cousins ​​could not even resist the firepower of the Trail Blazers' second team.

When the first quarter ended, Cousins' anger was not released, but instead accumulated more and more. Just now, Cousins ​​did not get the cheaper Anger, and the team is now temporarily behind with a 25-18 lead. All this could not help Cousins ​​calm down.

"DeMarcus! You have to pass the ball to me! This is not your own game. You have to lead the team to win, rather than focus on your own goals!" Gith Smart said to Cousins ​​in anger.

Cousins ​​had a big fight with this guy the day before yesterday, and now he didn't want to argue with this guy. After Smart finished speaking, Cousins ​​didn't say anything, and still put a wet towel on his neck, and his whole head hung down. Smart shook his head. He really hoped Cousins ​​could listen to it, even if it was a word!

At the beginning of the second quarter, Cousins ​​returned to the arena. Facing the Trail Blazers' substitute inside J.J. Hickson and Meyers Leonard, Cousins ​​finally proudly showed his comprehensive offensive skills.

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

When the Trail Blazers were playing with all substitutes, Cousins ​​instantly managed to catch only 2 points left. Seeing that the Kings were about to take shape, Ricard was the first to call the first timeout in the second quarter. Although he called a little earlier, the purpose of this timeout was also clear: "Swap the Five Tigers and then block the Kings' spirit!"

"An, I don't know how you did it. In short, help me teach that boy a lesson!" After returning to the bench, J.J. Hickson suddenly poured Gatorade into his mouth. There was no way. He was really badly dealt with by Cousins ​​just now.

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

Sure enough, after the timeout, Anjie took Cousins' hot pot for the first attack. Cousins, who showed confidence and feelings in the second team of the Trail Blazers, was much more excited than before.

That ball was Anjie and Jason. Thompson was misaligned. Facing Thompson, Anjie held the ball in the face, and easily broke through with a three-threat step and entered the penalty area. Just when Anjie made a layup, Cousins ​​suddenly came back from the side. The guy's jumping height surprised Anjie, because Cousins ​​jumped much higher than the first quarter! Emotional players, their abilities will also be influenced by emotions.

Cousins ​​straightened his arm and slapped the basketball away at the last moment before the basketball fell.

After completing the blocking, Cousins ​​did not hide his joy at all. He waved his fists hard and shouted at the Kings' stands. This move undoubtedly further heated up the atmosphere on the scene.

"You should kiss me, Chinese!" Cousins ​​whispered to Anjie in anger, responding to Anjie's lips in the first section.

Now, both Angel and Cousins ​​have been pushed to the brink of being angry.

On the defensive end, Anjie knocked down Cousins ​​with a nearly wrestling move.

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

Anjie's elbow made Cousins' chest tight, while Cousins' knees overwhelmed Anjie's legs.

The two of them were patient and waiting for one of them to lose control first.

In the second quarter, the Trail Blazers, who were in good condition, quickly reestablished their score advantage. Cousins' offensive efficiency was not comparable to that just now when facing Anger.

In the last two minutes, Lillard controlled the ball and rushed to the inside. This was Brooks's miss outside the three-point line. Angel grabbed the offensive rebound and used a long pass to let Lillard end the attack.

Brooks' shooting not only gave Lillard the opportunity to "take off", but also made Cousins ​​very dissatisfied.

If it were the past, it would be fine if his teammates didn't make a shot. But now, Cousins ​​was angry because of Anger and the team's backwardness, and he would infinitely amplify the mistakes of his teammates.

Therefore, when Lillard was about to complete the dunk and Cousins ​​was still a long way from chasing him, Cousins, who was furious, chose to push Lillard directly. In short, he just didn't want to see the Trail Blazers players scoring under his nose!

Lillard's impact was already fast, and the inertia after taking off into the air was even more huge. Now that he was pushed like this, Lillard flew directly out of the court and fell into the audience seats behind the basket!

"This ball is too rude! This is a foul that violates sports ethics! I hope Lillard is not hurt by it!" Even Ke Fan, who was far away in China, couldn't stand Cousins' behavior just now.

Anjie immediately 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 Anjie's head heavily. The referee had made a decision and he put the whistle in his mouth. A second-level malicious foul, Cousins ​​would be punished the most severely.

Just as the referee was about to blew the whistle, the scene in front of him shocked the referee. After An Jie was beaten, he immediately turned around and hit Cousins ​​with his chest. Cousins ​​was murderous and was about to turn around. An Jie hit Cousins ​​with an uppercut with his left hand!

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

"Damn it, what are you going to do?" Seeing that the tense suddenly escalated, Ricard also walked into the stadium. After being punched by Angel, Cousins ​​immediately prepared to fight back, but Chuck Hayes grabbed Cousins' fist that was about to swing. At the same time, the players on both sides were in a mess. Some of them were busy separating the two, while others took the opportunity to attack.

And what about Anjie and Cousins? The two of them were still trying to break free from their shackles, as if they wanted to fight to the death. The fans were all happy. Isn’t they watching this game just for this kind of scene?

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

"If you have the guts, come and try it, soft boy!" An Jie was not willing to be outdone.

In the end, the two big men gradually regained their calmness under the constraints of their teammates. At this time, An Jie realized that the suit that was pushing his Ricard tightly was already untidy, and Cousins' jersey was also completely deformed. It was at this moment that the referee stood angrily among the two groups of people.
