On March 5, Beijing time, in a just-concluded Western Conference game, the Nuggets finally defeated the Rockets 116-101 and refused to lose two consecutive games. Meanwhile, because Jokic has not yet played in this game, Cousins was pushed to the start. Facing the former owner, Cousins showed no mercy, these young people in front of Cousins after all, is still very young, sure enough, Cousins played 23 minutes, 10 of 14 shots, 3 of 3 three-pointers, got 31 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and 1 block, it is worth noting that he can cut 30+ data, 1502 days away from such results, it can be said that Cousins has waited too long for this battle.
In fact, Cousins was able to perform so well in this game that he seized the opportunity, after all, Jokic's injury made Cousins in danger. This is also his first time as the team's starting center after joining the Nuggets, before that, Cousins played 11 games for the Nuggets, averaging 7.5 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game, but unfortunately the Nuggets did not have any contract representations to Cousins, perhaps the Nuggets are waiting for the return of Porter Jr. and Najib.
In this battle alone, Cousins set a number of records, namely: 1. After 150 days, he scored more than 30+ performances again. 2. 31 points set a new high for the season. 3, scoring to create a new high to join the Nuggets, 4, Cousins started the game, and hit 3 three-pointers, creating a new high to join the Nuggets. Cousins with the efficient performance of this game, successfully stood on the front page of major newspapers and media, after all, after experiencing many serious injuries, he can still stand up, such an inspirational thing is believed to be hyped, not to mention the achievement of Cousins's opponent is the former owner rocket team.
Therefore, in this game, Cousins did not live up to the trust of Coach Malone, starting for the first time in the Nuggets' career, with such a terrible performance, he delivered a satisfactory answer sheet for Malone. Looking at the Rockets again, although Wood cut 22 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists in the whole game, but in the confrontation with Cousins, almost all fell behind, of course, Shen Jing's value of 11 points, 10 rebounds and double-doubles, under the illumination of Cousins, somewhat lost some light, two people in the position, after the big injury Cousins' footsteps to move, even faster than Shen Jing, it seems that this game, Shen Jing is to pay tuition. And the Rockets, who are in the rebuilding period, can use the shunshui people to help Cousins stand on the heel of the Nuggets, what do you think about this?
