The NBA's regular season continues, the Bucks vs. Cavaliers, and for the Bucks, multiple players are absent, which also greatly reduces the viewing of the game. Specifically, Middleton continued to miss games due to overextension of his left knee; Alphabet Brother, Matthews, and Di Vincenzo triggered the league's health and safety agreement; And Jui Holliday and Grayson Allen also missed due to physical reasons. This means that for the Bucks, they basically gave up a starting lineup, so it is not surprising that they lose. In such a game, they eventually lost to the Cavaliers 90-119.
Such an outcome is to be expected. One is that the Cavaliers are indeed very strong this season, and the other is that the Bucks have too few people who can play. In this case, the Bucks are either the dominant side, waiting for their fate, or being defeated by their opponents. The NBA is a jianghu, the jianghu is so cruel, there is never an eternal and unchangeable truth, and there is no eternal and unchanging strong.
Of course, for the Bucks, because of López's injury, their internal staffing was stretched, and they also signed Cousins before that. In such a game, Cousins played 27 minutes, 4 of 11 shots, including 2 of 6 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and had 12 points, 12 rebounds, 1 assist, 4 steals and 1 block.
Cousins has set a lot of records: "The 12 points, 12 rebounds, 4 steals and 4 turnovers in this game all set a new season high, with the previous records of 11 points (against the Heat on December 5, 2021) and 6 rebounds (against the Cavaliers on December 7, 2021) and 2 steals (against the Cavaliers on December 7, 2021) and 2 turnovers (against the Cavaliers on December 7, 2021). ”
For Cousins, one thing you can know from the game is that he still has some immediate combat strength. Such an immediate combat power allows Cousins to play the starter, even if it is only a temporary starter, that is also a starter. However, it is a slight regret that for Cousins, although he played the starting position, his contract is actually a contract that is not guaranteed. At this point, when the Bucks first signed, they left their backhands. That is, for the team, it is still not afraid to take risks, or hope to be safe and see Cousins' immediate combat strength.
Now it seems that the Bucks should know one thing, that is, Cousins' strength can still be based in such a league. Even if his physical condition was completely different from before. But now he is still a player who can stand in the league. This, judging from recent competitions, is the answer.
In this way, for the Bucks, perhaps it should indeed be considered, that is, to turn Cousins' contract into a contract of formal guarantee, which makes him more at ease and makes him play more at ease. Otherwise, I always feel sorry for his efforts and efforts. Today, the development of everything is not yet known, and the personnel of the Bucks are completely disorganized. In such a reality, you can only pay attention to see if the Bucks' operating ideas for Cousins will change in the end.
12 points, 12 boards and 5 breaks, Cousins can still play a game, the Bucks still do not give him a guarantee contract? So, stay tuned and see when the Bucks switch cousins' contract to a guaranteed contract. In any case, Cousins is worthy of a guarantee contract.
