The Nuggets' away defeat to the Warriors stopped the first round, and Cousins, who performed well, said in an interview with the media: "I think Aside from Russell Westbrook, Jokic is probably one of the least respected MVPs. Jokic didn't get the MVP as he deserved. ”
Cousins also thanked Cousins and the Nuggets, saying, "I really appreciate coach Michael Malone for giving me a chance. I don't know what the future holds yet, but I'm thankful for the Nuggets, which gave me this opportunity. I'm very happy to be a part of this team. ”
Jokic, who is only 27, had the opportunity to sign a five-year, $254 million super-top contract this summer, and Jokic said he had no reason to refuse as long as the contract was on the table. The Nuggets are Jokic's team, and Jokic will still be the team facade for some time to come, cousins gives a big brash to the team boss, leans back against a tree to cool off, and Jokic has a good relationship and leaves himself a way back. With Malone's support, Cousins wouldn't have a problem getting a contract.
Cousins played 15 minutes in this game, shooting 8 of 12 to get 19 points, 4 rebounds and 1 steal, and now 2 of 3 from the field with three points, making the Warriors invincible. The Warriors trailed by 13 points at most today, and Kerr was forced to use the joint defense, at one point leaving the Nuggets without points for 8 rounds. Malone immediately sent Cousins to the court, the Warriors joint defense was instantly broken, and Kerr had no choice but to call a timeout. No Cousins Nuggets fought until the last minute. Neither Looney nor Green could hold cousins, who averaged a 66.7 percent three-point shooting percentage in the playoffs. Such Cousins is not too much to stand on the league.
Cousins, once known as the league's first center, has only 670,000 annual salaries from the original annual salary of 18 million to the current 670,000, but he has always maintained an optimistic attitude, even if many teams give up on him, even if he is uncertain, he still loves basketball and strives to do everything he can. Hopefully Cousins will get better and better in the future
