Cousins' personality is really not something that can be solved in a day or two, which has led to his performance on the court, and the Lakers' record is also a huge gap.

Facing the Spurs, Cousins ​​can hand in super data of 20 points, 21 rebounds and 3 blocks, helping the team beat their opponents by 20 points, but facing the Grizzlies, he can score 5 points and 12 rebounds with 2 of 13 shots, resulting in the team being taken away by the opponent in the last moment.

This is really a double-edged sword, and it has to be used. Gasol has already retired and counted down, Yi Jianlian is not good at defense, and you are even more unlikely to expect Zubac or Little Nans to take charge of the team's inside defense.

Tang Shuai talked to Cousins ​​twice in private, but he was really a person with a dual personality. He was very serious when chatting and had a very good attitude. He was quite calm in the subsequent games. However, once he was offended, he turned into an explosive barrel, which completely brought the team's rhythm into the pit.

This performance was quite helpless, and Tang Shuai had to give up in the end.

But at this moment, something big and small happened.

The Rockets' outside defense core, Danny Ansey made an appointment against Tang Shuai in public.

Speaking of the last time the Lakers defeated the Rockets, Anxi's mentality almost collapsed. Later, with the encouragement of his teammates and the game, he slowly regained his confidence. In addition to his confidence, his defensive aggressiveness has become more and more terrifying, and he even uses any means to make the game, which is like a complete Bao culture.

From a certain perspective, the "learning" given by Tang Shuai made his career develop in another extreme direction.

However, I have to say that he is indeed very talented and can always control his movements within fouls, which also makes his defense more and more terrifying.

In the latest game, the Wizards' Bill made only 3 of 21 shots under his defense, and he directly stepped on his ankle sprained in an offense.

The word "evil man" has fallen on him without any hesitation.

It is in this context that Anxi wanted to get the spot for the face she lost on the court before, so she did not wait for the next fight between the two sides to come, but directly challenged Tang Shuai in public.

Tang Shuai ignored Anxi's challenge. Although this was a chance to get a top-level defensive package for him, he refused at the beginning. In comparison, he still prefers Leonard's clean defensive package, and his relationship with Leonard is also progressing.

But this attitude suddenly touched a certain g-point in Anxi. In addition to seeing that Tang Shuai did not respond, he actually used this and that metaphor in public, describing Tang Shuai as a timid coward who dared not even confrontation between men.

Tang Shuai looked at An Xi's reaction and thought it was really like a Japanese dog.

Originally, he taught Anxi a lesson in hoping that he could restrain his big mouth, but he never expected that Anxi was completely unhappy and provoked again and again in public, which was really helpless.

On this day, the game with Kings had just ended. Two old teammates, Batum and Noel, had a meal on the outside. Looking up, I saw the news that Ansi was provoking him, and it was really endless.

"Dang, this time I support you to teach this kid a lesson. There is really no bottom line. The Rockets' management doesn't care." Batum said in a slight manner as he looked at the news.

"That's right, ****, I'll definitely cheer you on that day!" Noel said directly, regardless of whether he was no longer in the Lakers.

Tang Shuai's patience was almost at its peak. If Anxi really wanted to find abuse, he would squeeze out an hour to go as he wished.

After making this decision, he then announced on his personal Twitter that he would accept Ansi's challenge and attached the words "American live broadcast".

If you really want to fight, you will be beaten to him at once.

After posting Twitter, he turned to Batum and said, "Nicholas, I need you to warm up for me."

...

The first half of the NBA season was just beginning, and the team was running-in, All-Star votes, and the trading deadline made the league lively, but in the second half of the season, all teams were silently preparing for the playoffs, which was relatively quiet. This was also the most boring time for the fans, and they couldn't wait to wait for the playoffs to start.

And at this moment, the peak showdown between Tang Shuai and Anxi attracted the attention of countless people.

The venue for this showdown was Madison Square Garden Arena. When it was learned that it was a showdown between Shuai Tang and Anxi, the Knicks official opened the stadium for them without hesitation, and also sold tickets for the game. Those who hold season tickets can watch the game directly.

With the Knicks' official cooperation, major media have also made this matter very popular.

In addition, the income from this game will be about donating and seeking help from homeless people across the United States, which gives this showdown something else.

In short, no matter what the outcome of this showdown is, it is destined to be recorded in history. In fact, this is the first time that players have made such a big bullfighting formation in the history of NBA.

Tang Shuai was accompanied by Duffy. This duel was rare for Duffy to support him. According to his words, he had absolute confidence in Tang Shuai. Moreover, such a duel is actually a free promotion opportunity. Not only him, but also 100 sponsors behind Tang Shuai were willing.

On that night, the two people came out of the players' passage on both sides in the expectation of more than 20,000 fans on the scene, which attracted a wave of cheers from the audience. Major TV stations also activated the broadcast signal as soon as possible.

Unlike the previous bullfights, this matchup was decided by five goals. Tang Shuai was the offensive side and Anxi was the defensive side.

As long as Tang Shuai scored more goals, Anxi successfully defended the game, he would win, otherwise he would lose.

In other words, he had to score 3 goals in five attacks to win.

After a brief warm-up, the two of them stood at halftime.

Anxi looked at Tang Shuai and unconsciously licked his lips. It felt like he saw a prey he was extremely eager for.

Tang Shuai didn't care much about Anxi's expression. He was more concerned about his movements on his hands and feet. Duffy had reminded him before that Anxi's current defensive aggression is very good. If he was ruined by this bullfight, it would be really not worth it at all.

The sideline referee quickly signaled that the game could begin.

After Tang Shuai nodded, he held the ball and lowered the center of gravity, and then slowly dribbled the ball in.

Anxi opened his hands and pulled him a half-step away from him, which was a formation that prevented breakouts and shots.

Tang Shuai observed for a while, and amid the restlessness of the fans, he accelerated and broke through to the right.

Anxi took his right foot back and then left his head up.

The moment the two sides contacted each other, Tang Shuai felt a pain in his waist, lowered his head and glanced a little, and Anxi's fingers were pressed there invisibly.

Sure enough, Anxi had a lot of small moves.

But he didn't stop, and turned around and leaned against Anxi with his back, which made him unable to use the small movement he had just made.

Turning around, he pushed back with force.

"Bang!"

The two of them directly fought each other for a while. Anxi's strength was strong, but she still didn't get any advantage when facing Tang Shuai. After this, she was hit and took a step back half a step.

Before Anxi could raise it, Tang Shuai just leaned back.

But just as he leaned back, what he never expected was that Anxi's right hand swung directly at his crotch with a jumping movement.

This was too unexpected, and Tang Shuai's attacking posture changed naturally.

With a "bang", Anxi quickly stopped his hand when he first made a move.

After landing, Tang Shuai frowned.

There was a scattered intermittent booing sound at the scene, but the audience saw that although Anxi did not encounter this defensive move, it was really unauthoritative.

However, Anxi seemed to be really like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water and said coldly: "You only have two chances left."

The sideline referee also signaled that the score on the field was 1-0, with Anxi leading the way.

It is obvious that Anxi didn't really meet Tang Shuai just now, and he was fighting a psychological warfare, which was within the referee's rules.

Tang Shuai pressed his fist suddenly, but soon, he stretched out, then looked at Anxi with a smile, and said lightly: "It's really interesting."

Anxi was stunned. Tang Shuai didn't say anything else, and walked back outside the three-point line with the ball.

In the second round between the two sides, Tang Shuai did not make any extra moves and directly broke forward. After changing directions and shaking a little offensive space, he took a big step to the right and pulled out his hand.

The handsome guy broke through and pulled the bag and was instantly activated, and he deliberately pulled the ball to the right. Anxi wanted to use a trick like before, which was obviously inaccessible.

"Swish!"

With a crisp sound, Tang Shuai scored a blow and directly responded to Anxi's goal.

The fans at the scene immediately burst into cheers of excitement.

Anxi frowned. It was obvious that Tang Shuai's way of trying to avoid physical contact made his small movements useless.

The score on the field became 1-1.

Tang Shuai got the ball outside the three-point line again.

At this time, Anxi did not choose to continue to let Tang Shuai attack, but took the initiative to come forward to find physical contact.

Tang Shuaiqiu was not lucky, and his hand was hit several times by Anxi's hidden movements.

He felt unhappy in his heart. This Anxi was really endless.

He didn't want to hide anything anymore. He broke through to the right, interfered with Anxi's small movement and rushed to the basket, and directly threw a header.

This time, Anxi once again showed his shameless style. Seeing that he couldn't cover it, he suddenly leaned over Tang Shuai's face, looking at his posture, he was trying to kiss him.

"Damn!"

Even though Tang Shuai was mentally prepared, he was frightened by Anxi's move. He shook his hand and the angle of the attack was slightly biased, and the throwing shot directly hit the frame.
