Cousins is expected to be cut, the Lakers try to scratch the award again, is there a drama in los Angeles' second entry?
Previously, Cousins was once unbeatable, and after taking the olive branch thrown by the Bucks, it really lived up to expectations, to fill the rotation gap in the center position that Da luo temporarily missed, and averaged 9.1 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game in less than 17 minutes.
The Raptors Cousins also scored 12 points in the second quarter, but after the game, he was handed a good guy card by the bucks general manager, and the cut was a foregone conclusion.
The Bucks may be thinking that Cousins' unsecured contract is about to be regularized, so it has taken emergency tax avoidance, and management is confident about the return of Lopez the Greater, and the effect of the letter brother/Portis top five position is also in line with expectations;
At present, Connaughton + Aaron + George Hill have triggered a safety and health agreement, coupled with The fact that Di Vincenzo has not returned due to injury, the layoff, the vacated position is probably prepared for the backhand.
But the Lakers intended to be immediately crowded by fans, and it was still unrealistic to think of grabbing a hand of Cousins.
First, the Lakers' defensive resources are scarce, it is already difficult to protect themselves, even if Cousins' investment in the defensive end has increased significantly this season, but the effect is still not satisfactory.
The reintroduction of a colander would only infinitely amplify Cousins' weaknesses, unlike the Bucks, who had a defensive base for him.
Second, Cousins' current so-called open space attributes can not solve the current dilemma - this season Cousins can only maintain 24.4% of the peripheral crosshairs, shooting 2.8 three-pointers.
Vogel has made it clear that the general direction of reducing the weight of the main Indian center forward is not there, and the focus of subsequent reinforcements is certainly not here.
This season, Cousins is more by playing the role of a blocker and demolition coverer, actively eating more cakes to ensure the influence of the offensive end, rather than the previous pile-type internal line singles, or as a high-level gunboat to participate in tactics, playing bullying basketball to play an independent offensive advantage.
For the Lakers, under the configuration of more ball carriers, or the priority of configuring traditional sports cake eaters in the center position, Cousins does not quench his thirst, and it is the right thing to do another illness and rush to the doctor.
Cousins' bucks trip is definitely worth the trip, after this wave of self-certification, Cousins still has good prospects for re-employment, if there are no other off-market variables, should not worry about home.
Little Potter dai sin meritorious, three points to kill the Wizards, the prodigal son turned back to gold?
The Rockets' locker room infighting was eventually handled coldly, and the big thing was small, Potter Jr. and Wood were each banned for one game, and then returned to the team to send the Wizards first.
Porter Jr., who inefficiently outputs a whole game, is still hard-handed, a hammer outside the three-point line, and a harvest game to stop 8 consecutive losses, but can this save the Rockets career?
It's a cliché about Porter Jr.'s use, and Silas forcibly abandons his "dessert positioning" to be the main controller, trying to be compatible with Jaylen Green, just thinking of scraping one more lottery ticket, but it is not necessarily a good thing for both of them.
Porter Jr.'s vision of the overall situation, and chaotic playing style of play determine that he can not play a steady point guard to tandem the team, not to mention that he is in a rookie rookie with many rookies, waiting to be fed, and urgently needing to be the leader of the veteran.
Creating a good growth environment is very critical for newcomers to the alliance, and the time bomb has to be removed.
As expected, the Rockets moved Porter Jr. off the starting line, advanced Wood's trading time, and incidentally brought back Wall's remedial plan but did not implement, since the decision to continue to bet, there is nothing to say.
As for the character problem that Little Porter is prone to get out of control, although the nature is difficult to move, but in view of the fact that the cause is due to basketball problems, not unprovoked, we can not beat people to death with a stick, I hope the Rockets can wait for Little Porter to repay the peach.
Thanks for your attention, welcome to discuss, Azhe is willing to "ball" with you to get the truth, all the way to the end of the world.
