Cousins officially returned to the clouded leopard this month! The monthly salary has also increased!
Live broadcast on April 06 On the 4th, the regular season of the T1 League of Taiwan, China continued, and the Taiwan Beer Clouded Leopard won the New Taipei Special Attack 104-94 and obtained the playoff ticket. Clouded Leopards head coach Charles said after the game that the team will not let up and will continue to win and strive for home advantage in the playoffs, while foreign player Cousins is expected to appear in the last three home games, and it will be determined to further explain in the future.
The T1 League playoffs are best-of-5 and best-of-five, with the 1st and 4th places in the regular season playing each other, and the 2nd and 3rd places in the regular season facing each other, with the higher-ranked teams having a home court advantage. Charles said that the teams are highly competitive in the rankings, there are still many goals to pursue, and the teams are so strong that the team will not let go of it if they qualify for the playoffs: "Our goal is to keep winning and strive for a better standing. ”
Clouded Leopards announced the signing of a contract extension with Cousins in March, and Charles revealed that the "cousin" is expected to play in the final three home games (April 14, 20, 21), and there are many more details that will be clearer in the future.
It is worth mentioning that after completing the contract renewal with Cousins last month, Zhang Jianwei, CEO of Clouded Leopard, was asked about the monthly salary of his "cousin" returning, and he only revealed that because the length of the contract was longer than the previous one, his monthly salary this time was "slightly higher" than the last time, and also pointed out that he very much hoped to cooperate with Cousins again next season:" He's the most important piece of the puzzle for us and the chemistry with the players is there for all to see, and the players are looking forward to his return, and with his boxing and the team's old hands, I think there's a great chance of a championship. (According to a previous report by well-known reporter Song Xiang, Cousins' salary for four games in January is $200,000, plus an additional $10,000 "appearance fee" for each game.) In addition, there were CBA teams that offered him before, but the monthly salary was only $70,000 to $80,000, which was quite different from Cousins' psychological expectations. ）
In addition, Zhang Jianwei also said that Cousins has been very integrated into the team in the previous games, and he has not been idle since returning to the United States, and he still continues to train, and at the same time maintains close communication with the coaches, so I believe that he will not have much problem with the overall tacit understanding with the team when he comes back this time.
In January of this year, Cousins joined the Clouded Leopards, although he only signed a short-term contract, but in the four league games he played, he averaged 22 points, 11.8 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game, successfully won the best foreign player in the T1 League in January, and also helped the team achieve 3 wins and 1 loss, and successfully reached the top at that time. Outside of the league, in the "cross-league exchange game" with the Hsinchu Siege Lions, Cousins scored 10 points to temporarily leave the basket.
It is worth mentioning that Li Yaying, who is very popular with fans and joined the team with Cousins in January, officially joined the cheerleading team of the baseball league's Fubon Giants at the end of last month. However, the clouded leopard official also issued a document afterwards: "Leopard treasures, don't panic, Yaying is still a Taiwanese beer clouded leopard electric leopard girl." In April, the home stadium will appear to meet the leopards. ”
Recently, in the latest support class schedule released by the official IG of the Electric Leopard Women, Li Yaying will "return to the team" with Cousins at the 13th and 14th home venues.
