Chapter 52: Cousins ​​throws the ball at someone! Titan-level clash!
A news report on the trade appeared in the Cleveland Sapper.

Washington Wizards Receive: Tristan Thompson
Cleveland Cavaliers send: Ramon Sessions + JJ Hickson.

Although it was a swap of role players between the two teams, no All-Star players participated.

Still, the deal caused a stir on social media.

The Cavaliers fans in particular were pleasantly surprised.

Thompson of the Wizards averaged 23 minutes per game this season, scoring 8.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.0 blocks.

In terms of rebounding, positioning, pick-and-roll, and assisting defense, Tristan Thompson possesses abilities that the Cavaliers urgently need right now.

Although JJ Hickson has good athletic ability, his defensive awareness, height, and screening ability are far from enough.

That's it in a nutshell.

Hickson is a track and field player with excellent running and jumping abilities, but poor static talent and basketball IQ.

Tristan Thompson is a better inside answer for the Cavaliers than JJ Hickson.

As for Ramon Sessions.

In the summer, the Cavaliers still had high hopes for him, but as the game progressed, his weaknesses were gradually exposed, and he was not very effective on both offense and defense.

Two people packaged for one Tristan Thompson.

It can be said that this is what the Cavaliers fans are looking forward to.

……

On the afternoon of the day the deal was reached, Thompson was already on a plane to Cleveland.

Playing in Washington, a bad city, is obviously not as good as creating brilliance in Cleveland with a group of young people like Wang Yan, Irving, and Butler.

And at this moment.

The Cavaliers players, led by Wang Yan, had been waiting at the Cleveland airport for a long time.

Outside the airport terminal, this group of young people from Cleveland met for the first time.

"We meet again, King."

Thompson showed his excitement the moment he saw Wang Yan.

This was indeed not the first time Thompson and Wang Yan met. They had played against each other in college.

At that time, the Eighth Wise King was completely impressed by Wang Yan's flying and escaping fighting style.

"I was originally worried about how to avoid being dunked on by you when we play against each other. Fortunately, I won't appear in your dunk shots anymore."

"That's not necessarily the case."

Wang Yan smiled and said, "Be prepared to be dunked on by me every day on the training ground."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone at the scene burst into laughter.

The Eighth Wise King just shrugged.

At least being dunked over by Wang Yan on the training ground is much better than being dunked over live in front of the camera.

"We all know your strength."

After the team boss Wang Yan finished his speech, head coach Byron Scott also began to speak.

"Your rebounding, rim protection and screens will be extremely important to us."

"Our starting center position will be reserved for you."

Actually.

The Eighth Wise King is in an awkward position on the Wizards.

He played in 10 games, including five starts.

After all, the team has JaVale McGee and Nene.

The Wizards are in the process of trying out their lineup as their three main centers compete for playing time, which doesn't give Eighth Wise King many opportunities to start.

But on the Cavaliers, there is someone who can compete with the Eight Wise Kings for the starting center.

No one.

however.

Compared to everyone on the Cavaliers team's welcome to the Eighth Wise Kings.

After careful analysis, some media outlets expressed doubts about the deal.

"I can only give C-grade to this deal with Cleveland!"

NBA commentator A. Smith made a targeted statement on ESPN: "Tristan Thompson's game type is indeed what the Cavaliers need."

"They can definitely look for some other candidates in the market. After all, Tristan is too young, he is just a rookie!"

"I can't imagine how a team with four out of the five starting players being rookies can perform well in the playoffs, let alone make it to the finals!"

A. Smith's remarks are not without reason.

The Eighth Wise King is indeed a very suitable character for a knight.

But with the arrival of the Eighth Wise Kings, this also means.

Irving + Butler + Wang Yan + Eight Wise Kings.

The team's core four are all rookies.

How the hell can I fight this?

In any NBA season, such a lineup would undoubtedly be a bottom-ranked team.

Being green and inexperienced will be the biggest problem for this Cavaliers team.

"I admit that Cleveland is on the road to rise, but this lineup is destined to make them fail to achieve results this year!"

"It will take at least three years for them to become a strong contender for the championship!"

"They will be powerless against established teams and their weaknesses will be exposed in the middle and late stages of the season."

"..."

After in-depth analysis, some voices that underestimated the Cavaliers gradually emerged.

No one doubts the potential and talent of the Cavaliers.

But experience will be their biggest obstacle.

However, amid the discussions.

Quicken Loans Center two days later.

The game between Sacramento Kings and Cleveland Cavaliers is coming.

The original focus of this game, Wang Yan vs. Cousins, was enough to attract attention.

At the same time, the Eighth Wise King made his debut for the Cavaliers.

This will inevitably lead to some scenes of the Eight Wise Kings defending Cousins.

This adds a lot of excitement to the game.

Before the game started, Wang Yan was also asked questions about Thompson by reporters on the scene.

"Wang, there are comments online about Tristan being too young. Some people even say that you need an experienced inside player. What is your response to this?"

Everyone wants to know how Wang Yan reacted to the doubts raised on the Internet?
"I have only one word to say about Tristan's arrival."

However, Wang Yan just smiled and said, "He is our champion puzzle piece!"

The champion puzzle!

Simple and direct!
The reporters were all slightly stunned.

I didn’t expect Wang Yan’s evaluation of the Eight Wise Kings was so high.

"There's no need to wait until the playoffs to prove their weakness."

Across the court, DeMarcus Cousins ​​was ready to tear it all apart: “They’re not even going to make it through today.”

"I will destroy all defenses, I will knock them out of their shells."

Even though Wang Yan had an additional Eight Wise Kings by his side.

but.

The God of Tests is not afraid at all.

He is the league's top center who can tear everything apart.

. . .

The game started soon, and the Cavaliers directly put the Eight Wise Kings in the starting lineup.

Irving, Butler, Jamison, Wang Yan, the Eight Wise Kings.

And the Kings.

Point Guard: Marcus Thornton
Shooting Guard: Tyreke Evans

Small forward: John Salmons
Power forward: DeMarcus Cousins

Center: Jason Thompson
Cousins ​​and Jason Thompson are both 2 meters tall. The reason why Cousins ​​is classified as a nominal power forward is mainly because Cousins ​​has a good long-range shooting percentage.

"Go crush the doubts, young people."

The game began with Byron Scott's pre-game speech.

Wang Yan and Cousins, the two nominal power forwards, stood on both sides of the center line for the jump ball.

no doubt.

Even if I'm one centimeter shorter.

But Wang Yan still won the jump ball with his terrifying bounce and speed.

And given Cousins' personality, he won't give up the jump ball directly like Marc Gasol.

This also gave Wang Yan a perfect opportunity to perform a jump ball aerial relay.

Subsequently.

An orange cannonball streaked across the sky, and Wang Yan punched in at the beginning with [A flash of lightning].

"It was an unwise defensive choice."

TNT commentator Barkley gave a direct comment: "Instead of stubbornly competing with Wang Yan for the jump ball, it is better to just give up."

"If I remember correctly, Mike Breen named this move Lightning Flash." But just as Barkley was chatting.

"Give me the ball!"

Cousins ​​directly snatched the serve from the guard after facing the player at the baseline.

The center dribbled across half court.

To be honest, this is a taboo.

But Cousins ​​has done this kind of work many times.

He does have dribbling skills for a guard that are not in line with his height and weight.

However, Cousins ​​monopolized the ball from the start, which is debatable whether it is harmful or beneficial to the team.

Fortunately, Cousins ​​lived up to expectations.

After dribbling the ball, facing the Eight Wise Kings' open two-step defense, Cousins ​​slowed down his dribbling and made a direct three-pointer.

"You better double-team me."

After scoring the goal, Cousins ​​frowned and let out a not-so-clever roar: "This rookie center can't defend me at all!"

The roar was so loud that even the audience on the sidelines could hear it clearly.

Cousins ​​has a pretty bad temper.

He is the player with the most technical fouls per game in the league.

Everyone knows that Cousins' trash talk is not directed at TT.

He is challenging Wang Yan!

And looking back at the defensive end.

Cousins ​​showed why he averages the most technical fouls per game in the league.

After Irving brought the ball across half court, he observed the matchup situation on the court and directly chose to pass the ball to Wang Yan who was asking for the ball with his back to the basket.

"Oh!"

The moment he touched the ball, Wang Yan felt the surging power coming from behind.

"Oh, DeMarcus elbowed Wang Yan from behind when he caught the ball!"

This kind of matchup scene made Charles Barkley look excited.

The Burning Giant vs The Incredible Hulk!

finally coming?

It feels like the matchup between super centers from the 80s and 90s.

These two are likely to be the two strongest inside players in the NBA in the next decade or so.

This is the first time these two have faced off.

It will certainly be mentioned repeatedly in the future.

Many cameras at the scene were also locked on the two of them, never leaving their positions for a moment.

Can the Burning Titan trample the Hulk?

"Oh!"

Under the expectant eyes of the whole world.

Wang Yan's attack comes.

Cousins ​​was also not afraid at all. He straightened his chest and endured Wang Yan's shoulder attack.

Bang!
The huge sound of muscle confrontation made the fans at the scene scream continuously.

This is so fucking addictive!

O'Neal vs. the African mountain.

I'm afraid that's all.

At this time, Wang Yan and Cousins ​​both had smiles on their faces.

What is the King of Power? Just this?

Cousins ​​laughed because he saw through Wang Yan's true colors.

This power is not as terrifying as the media claims.

Wang Yan laughed because:
He is worthy of being called the God of Exams, he really has some power.

This is the strongest lower body force Wang Yan has ever encountered in his career.

but……

If this is only your full strength.

Then you are a bit far behind.

My brother is coming in!

Bang!
The second collision.

Wang Yan increased his strength performance from 5% to 8%!
After this collision, there was no smile on Cousins' face anymore.

Instead.

It's a mask of pain!
After Wang Yan increased his strength to 8%, a crack appeared in the defense of someone as strong as Cousins.

"OH! MY! GOD!"

"Demarcus retreated, and Wang Yan obviously increased his resistance!"

Barkley stared with his eyes wide open.

The first physical collision was already jaw-dropping.

And based on this foundation, Wang Yan can actually go to another level.

Is the Burning Giant really going to break the Invincible Hulk?

"Oh!"

After prying open the space, Wang Yan struck while the iron was hot, lowered his shoulders and exerted force, launching another confrontation.

And this time, even a strong player like Cousins ​​was completely defeated.

Unable to withstand Wang Yan's heavy blow, Cousins ​​responded by elbowing Wang Yan.

Ran goose ...

However, Wang Yan turned around, facing the basket, swung his arm, and at the same time used his other arm to elbow Kao Shen directly.

The Invincible Hulk was ultimately unable to withstand the slam dunk by Wang Yan and became the cover of the poster.

"Wow! He was dunked over by Wang Yan. Cousins ​​has no advantage with his body weight!"

On the other side, in the fifth live broadcast room on Tianchao’s balcony.

Zhang Weiping was even more excited.

"Cousins' body type is the current O'Neal. Although Wang Yan is a lot thinner than Cousins, he still manages to dunk step by step."

Just as Zhang Weiping said.

Although Cousins' physique is not as strong as O'Neal, he can definitely be regarded as the active O'Neal in the league.

Wang Yan is thinner than O'Neal.

But in strength.

It is not inferior at all!
. . .

"Damn it Falk!"

However, Cousins ​​was immediately furious when Wang Yan dunked the ball out of the baseline.

Looking at Wang Yan who was pulled on the basket and landed, Cousins ​​threw the super basketball directly at Wang Yan.

The grumpy boy is online.

However, Cousins's shot did not hit the target as expected.

Wang Yan dodged the attack easily.

At the same time, the basketball happened to knock Tyreke Evans to the ground from behind.

Evans: You are noble, you are amazing.

……

"Yo yo yo, what's going on?"

"Why did you suddenly take action and hit someone with the ball? This is not allowed!"

"Hey, this is a breach!"

The sudden scene also made Zhang Weiping speak very quickly.

The situation suddenly became tense.

Seeing that his shot missed, Cousins ​​rushed towards Wang Yan in anger.

The fans at the Quick Loans Arena were excited.

Did you hit?
Are we going to fight?

Ran goose!

Just at the moment Cousins ​​rushed out.

boom!
A huge human figure came with a bang!

Before Wang Yan could launch a powerful punch.

Tristan Thompson, weighing 120 kilograms, was the first to join the battlefield at a speed of 120 miles per hour.

With a push of his arms, the huge force pushed Cousins ​​to the ground.

With Cousins's sudden fall.

There was an exclamation of surprise at the Quick Loans Center.

Damn it!
Three Titan-level giants are fighting fiercely!
