In fact, for Cousins, Mentor Malone is very optimistic, "if he has a good performance in the Nuggets, he can get a longer contract than 10 days." Obviously, I had a relationship with Demarcus. I expect it to go well and I'm thankful he's here. ”
However, not long after the third quarter bench returned, Cousins suffered a technical foul when Cousins and Edwards scrambled for rebounds under the basket, and their arms were wrapped together. The referee blew Edwards for the foul and Cousins applauded. But just as Cousins stepped up to the free throw line to execute the free throw, he got into a verbal altercation with the Nets bench and suffered a technical foul.
Not long after the fourth quarter was played, Cousins was once again emotionally out of control after a strong hit under the basket, he smashed the ball, spread his hands to express dissatisfaction, quite angry, the referee did not hesitate, gave Cousins a second technical foul, and expelled Cousins directly.
After eating the second technical foul, Kao Shen was about to cry, with a helpless expression, which made people feel sad.
