As the world's largest basketball league, the NBA brings together the world's top basketball elites, and a large number of new players enter the NBA through the draft and signing every year.
Recently, according to media reports in Taiwan Province of China, the Taiwan Beer Clouded Leopards of the Taiwan Province of China successfully signed former NBA player Cousins. The contract period is only half a month, but the basic salary is as high as 200,000 US dollars, with an additional "appearance fee" of 10,000 US dollars per game, such attractive conditions, no wonder Kao Shen can't refuse!
Although there were scandals with the CBA Guangzhou team during the period, Zhu Fangyu, the manager of the Guangzhou team, not only denied the rumors in the interview, but also said with a little ridicule: "What's the use of Cousins? He may be gasping for two runs on the court, and I think it will be difficult for him to adapt to the CBA league." ”
Cousins is definitely a big name in the NBA, averaging 19.6 points, 10.2 rebounds, 3 assists, 1.1 blocks and 1.3 steals per game in 654 career games. Among them, in a game against the Bulls in 2018, Cousins scored a super triple-double of 44 points, 24 rebounds and 10 assists.
He was a two-time All-Second Team and four-time All-Star, winning gold medals at the World Championships and Olympics with Team USA.
As an NBA All-Star level center, Cousins has played for the Pelicans, Warriors, Lakers and other teams, and in 2022, Cousins had to temporarily bid farewell to the NBA after the end of Cousins and the Nuggets. Throughout his career, he suffered three major injuries: a torn quadriceps muscle in his left thigh, a complete rupture of his left Achilles tendon, and a torn anterior cruciate ligament, which also seriously affected his athleticism.
But compared with injuries, what makes teams most afraid is his fiery temper, in addition to frequently receiving league ban tickets for conflicts with opposing players, and even being suspended by the team during the Kings for not cooperating with the management of head coaches and assistant coaches.
Given his previous convictions, he has become a problem player that many teams avoid. But as the saying goes: a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. With his well-known reputation, there is still no shortage of olive branches thrown by overseas leagues, and finally, after careful consideration, he joined Guainavo Metropolitano in the Bourro Rico League on April 12, 2023, and he averaged 25 minutes per game, easily handing over 20.4 points, 10.9 rebounds, and 4.5 assists. Although he is 33 years old, his strong performance proves that he can still make a big splash in the ring.
After the season, Cousins was invited by a high salary, and in mid-November this year, Cousins briefly came to China to participate in a series of streetball events, and it is reported that he earned 1 million yuan in 10 days. Now successfully signed for the Taiwan T1 League, for Cousins must be unstoppable, last season the monster Howard joined the T1 League, averaging 23.2 points, 16.2 rebounds, 5 assists and 1.2 blocks per game Dominating statistics.
Compared with Warcraft, it is foreseeable that Kaoshen will be able to easily play supergod-level data in the T1 League, of course, in addition to the attractive salary, does Kaoshen's choice of the Taiwan League have anything to do with beautiful and sexy Taiwanese girls?
