On April 2, Beijing time, the Nuggets NBA lost 130:136 at home to the Timberwolves in the regular season, although the team leader Jokic took the top data of 38 points, 19 rebounds and 8 assists in 14 of 21 shots, and the team's starting Monte Morris and Aaron Gordon also performed well, but the Nuggets still failed to win at home in the regular season. Compared with Jokic, Morris and other players in the starting lineup, Nuggets bench player Cousins became the focus of media attention after the game because of fouls and mistakes.
Cousins played a total of 4 minutes and 37 seconds off the bench in this game, but it is incredible that Cousins, who has played less than 5 minutes, has 5 fouls and 4 turnovers in such a short game time, and handed over -10 field plus-minus data. As for Cousins' other court stats, statistics show that he had 3 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist in a single game on 2-of-1 shooting, shooting 50% from the field. There is no doubt that Cousins' performance in this stat is absolutely very bad, and the once grumpy Cousins is undoubtedly returning to the NBA stadium again.
Unlike past NBA all-star interior center, Cousins finally made a successful regular move through a 10-day contract this season and signed the Nuggets to stay on until the end of the season. In the previous NBA regular season, Cousins also had a data performance of 9 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game in the bench lineup, and his emotional control ability was also significantly improved, but he did not expect that now Cousins began to make old mistakes. You must know that if Cousins can perform normally in this game, the Nuggets may also have a chance to win the final victory, after all, the Nuggets only lost to the Timberwolves by 6 points in the end.
In fact, at the peak of Cousins's uninjured career, he was repeatedly controversial for frequent tantrums and fouls, and the nickname "Cousins is super giant below the neck" was circulated in the league at that time. However, cousins at that time had the ability to output data averaging 25+10 per game in the season, so even if Cousins would sometimes be "unhappy and brainless", the team would often endure all this. But with Cousins suffering consecutive major injuries, he is only an NBA fringe role player now, if Cousins is still the temperament of the past, I am afraid that he will be difficult to continue to stand in the NBA league in the future!
