Chương 380: Chapter 380: Green and Cousins Fight
Before Yi Nan took the court, Wade Dong stopped him.
"Dongge, what's up?" Yi Nan asked.
"In the past three games, you've had over 20 minutes of playing time each game. Make sure to seize this opportunity."
"Okay... thank you."
Wade Dong and Yi Nan spoke in Mandarin, and only Thibodeau could barely understand them. The other teammates had no idea what they were saying.
Yi Nan understood that Wade Dong's words meant he would have over 20 minutes of playing time in this game.
This was the opportunity Wade Dong was giving him, and it was up to Yi Nan to seize it.
...
The second quarter began.
Tucker replaced Carter, and Thibodeau didn't plan to play McGrady in this game.
The Kings' players were playing physically.
With Cousins committing too many fouls, the Kings' coach didn't let him play, which frustrated Cousins. He threw his towel on the ground and muttered to himself, seemingly dissatisfied with Coach Mike.
The Kings' offense.
Gay had the ball and tried two crossovers but couldn't get past Tucker's defense.
Tucker also had some dirty moves and kept talking trash, saying, "Your Kings don't even have a decent player."
Gay was already frustrated, and Tucker's trash talk made him miss his shot, clanking it off the rim.
Yi Nan grabbed the defensive rebound and passed to Curry.
Curry dribbled to the frontcourt and pulled up for a three-pointer!
Clank!
Thomas reached in from behind Curry, hitting his arm.
The three-pointer missed, but Thomas sent Curry to the free-throw line.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Curry made all three free throws.
Thirty-five to seventeen!
The lead was almost 20 points.
Cousins couldn't sit still and started arguing with Coach Mike on the bench, who eventually agreed to let Cousins play earlier than planned.
Coach Mike also thought about it. With the lead already so large, if the Kings couldn't keep the deficit under 20 points in the first half, there was no hope of a comeback.
The Kings wanted to win this game to end the Suns' winning streak.
Losing or winning didn't matter much to the Kings, as they had already lost hope of making the playoffs.
After Cousins entered the game, he scored three consecutive baskets in the low post!
On one of them, Cousins missed his shot but grabbed the offensive rebound and scored a putback.
Thirty-seven to twenty-three!
The Kings narrowed the gap to 14 points.
Carter, sitting next to Wade Dong, said, "Yi Nan is at a bit of a disadvantage against Cousins."
Wade Dong smiled, "He is at a disadvantage, but they are not on the same level. Yi Nan won't be childish, but if you don't believe me, I'll go and bully Cousins a few times. Then you can see how Cousins reacts."
"Hahaha... You'll provoke Cousins."
Carter laughed, but he also wanted to see how Cousins would react to Wade Dong bullying him.
Six minutes into the second quarter, Wade Dong and Durant returned to the court.
The Suns kept Green on the bench and left Yi Nan on the court, along with the other starters.
Forty-one to twenty-five!
This was the current score, with the Kings still trailing by 16 points.
The Suns' offense. Wade Dong motioned for Yi Nan to spread out, and he posted up in the low post, receiving a pass from Durant. Wade Dong chose to use brute force for a post-up.
Like Shaq, Wade Dong used his superior strength to back down Cousins, and when he reached the basket, he didn't fake a shot but instead went straight for a one-handed slam dunk!
Clang!
Wade Dong's powerful dunk bent the rim.
But...
What happened next stunned everyone. Cousins, frustrated, shouldered Wade Dong while he was still hanging on the rim, hitting him in the waist!
"F**k you!"
Green didn't hesitate; he charged at Cousins and started fighting with him!
