Cousins made his debut 13+10+5+2 and led the team to a 29-point victory, and it was a pity that the CBA missed him
On January 20, Beijing time, the T1 regular season in Taiwan, China, continued, and former NBA player Cousins made his debut in the Clouded Leopards, and after the competition, the Clouded Leopards defeated the Falcons by 29 points 119-90 away. Cousins made a perfect debut, and it was a shame that the CBA missed him in the first place.
Cousins as an NBA All-Star, he joined the Clouded Leopards, which attracted the attention of many fans, and the scene was used to watch his game, the seats were empty, and Howard had the same effect as that year, the whole game, Cousins played 28 minutes, 6 of 16 shots, 1 of 7 three-pointers, 13 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, and there were 4 turnovers, but these did not affect Cousins' strength at all.
Maybe it's been a long time since he played in the professional league, Cousins didn't feel good in the first half, and then he focused more on defense and assisting teammates, although he only scored 2 points in the first half, but the clouded leopards maintained the lead on the court, and in the second half, Cousins began to exert force, three-pointers, layups, The Falcons were powerless to dunk, and the Clouded Leopards were better than the Falcons as a whole, and they always maintained a 20-point lead, with Cousins completing a double-double in the third quarter, and then in the fourth quarter, due to the loss of suspense in the game, he clocked in in the third quarter and did not play in the fourth quarter.
Judging from Cousins' performance throughout the game, he is still very strong and remains healthy, on the court, he can assist teammates and score baskets and mid-range shots, and the offensive and defensive ends are not bad, Cousins is 33 years old this year, this age is not the end of his career, as the No. 5 pick in the first round of the NBA in 2010, Cousins has played for the Kings, Pelicans, Lakers, Warriors and many other teams, but unfortunately, he was at his most glorious time in the King, and after leaving, he never returned to his former strength because of injuries.
After Cousins left the NBA, he was the first to contact the CBA team, many teams were interested in Cousins, and even the Guangdong men's basketball team had signed rumors with Cousins, but unfortunately, because of Cousins's personality and the high salary required, many CBA teams retreated, and in desperation, Cousins could only join the T1 League.
If you take the debut of Cousins and Howard as an example, there is still a gap between his strength and Howard, perhaps because of the short time played in this game, I hope Cousins can continue to prove himself in the next games.
