Cousins texted Green.

On April 3, Beijing time, the NBA regular season ushered in a highlight: the defending champion Golden State Warriors sat in Oracle Bone Inscriptions Stadium to face the second-ranked Nuggets in the West. Before this game, the two sides were only one victory away. If the Warriors win, they will basically be the first in the West, and vice versa. However, the Warriors left no room for imagination. 1 16- 102 easily defeated the Nuggets, showing extremely terrible dominance.

The Nuggets seem to be the one who wants to win the game more than the Warriors. From the beginning of the game, they showed extremely high defensive strength. The first wave 12-5 startled the warriors, especially millsap, whose long-range shot made Jinzhou people very headache. However, the warriors were a little more serious and quickly recovered their decline. They focused on Cousins, playing all-star center against Jokic. As we all know, Jokic is the central axis of Nuggets attack. Once he can't exert his strength, the whole Nuggets' offense will come to a standstill.

Cousins did a good job. He constantly consumed Jokic on the offensive end, putting a heavy burden on the latter. The weight of the defensive end is there, and there is no loss at all. Jokic was badly beaten at both ends of the attack and defense. The Nuggets gradually fell into a disadvantage and were pulled away by the Warriors. There are 5 minutes and 57 seconds left in the last quarter. With the difficulty of Cousins 2+ 1, the Warriors have widened the score to 29 points. Cousins was later replaced, but he made a lookout when he came off the stage, as if looking for Jokic who was completely blown up by him, which amused the audience on the sidelines.

It must be said that Cousins' arrival is indeed of great strategic significance to the Warriors, especially in the playoffs. In the case of closed perimeter of Dukutang, Cousins' dominance in the interior can help the Warriors tide over the difficulties smoothly. Take today's game as an example. In the third quarter of the game, Durant was expelled for two consecutive technical fouls, and Thompson frequently hit the iron on the outside. Cousins approved the Nuggets. Just like the previous brave fire war, he arranged the interior of the rocket. There is simply no solution, which vaguely makes people see the shadow of the former first center.

After the game, Warriors coach Cole was interviewed and praised Cousins: "This is one of the best games he played in the Warriors." When talking about Cousins' post-match performance, Meng Qing said: "Today is definitely Cousins' declaration war. He was the most powerful player in the league a few years ago, and now he wants to get this name back. "
