DeMarcus Cousins, born in 1990, is a center. He was No.5 in the first round of 20 10, and was selected to the NBA All-Star Team four times. After the rookie contract ended, he signed a big contract of 62 million yuan for four years.

Cousins was seriously injured for the first time on 20 18. That year was his contract year.
Thompson suffered his first major injury in 20 19, which was also his contract year.
There are too many similarities between them, but there are also too many differences.
The Warriors offered Thompson a five-year salary of1.900 million, but he was seriously injured again the next year.
But the pelican can only give Cousins 40 million yuan in two years, which makes him feel disrespected. He joined the Warriors and Lakers to make a name for himself, but he was injured again.
What is the situation where two people are completely different?
Let's take a look at the abilities of these two people first.
The season before Cousins' injury, he averaged 26. 1 point, 12.5 rebounds, 5. 1 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.5 blocks. Here comes the pelican, and his temper is much better. There are no obvious shortcomings in the attack, but you can shoot, cooperate and even break through. Defense is not as good as attack, but at least in the middle of the league.
Thompson had won three championships with the Warriors before his injury. He is the ceiling of 3D players, riding the Savior alone many times in the game, and the defensive end is the perimeter gate.
Judging from their abilities, neither of them belongs to superstars, and both of them have weaknesses, such as Thompson's ball control and Cousins' temper. But it's worth signing a top salary.
Second, we look at it from the team point of view.
The Warriors' renewal of Thompson must have been well thought out.
Thompson has been playing for the Warriors since the beginning of the draft and has achieved great success, which is a feat of the team. Warriors can rise because they are "splash brothers". He is the pride of the warriors and part of the team culture. If we let go or lower the price, it will be a kind of harm to the rest of the meritorious service. There is a kind of "I gave everything for the team, but the team did this to me?" That sense of injustice, if the warrior is not stupid, you can't let Thompson go.
Moreover, the team thinks Thompson can recover. Thompson's main offensive means is to catch the ball and jump shot. He is experienced in walking without the ball and is familiar with the warrior system. His shooting speed is extremely fast and he feels soft. So even if he can only take out the jumping height like a matchbox, he can still do harm to his opponent.
It is also well thought out that the pelican does not renew the contract to lower the price.
Cousins had just arrived at this time, and was still in the running-in stage, not an old couple, but also in the blind date stage. You're injured and have a weakness in character. Although the past data is excellent, the team's record is very poor. Of course, I can keep the bride price as low as possible.
And the team thinks Cousins hasn't returned to his peak after his injury. He is a center, and the confrontation is more intense. After the injury, his dominance in the low post was affected, and his slow speed made his poor defense worse.
Finally, let's look at it from a personal perspective.
In addition to technology, Thompson also has personality charm, tenacious will and spiritual quality of fighting to the end. He has always been called the Iron Man. Except for his first year as a rookie, he played more than 70 games in the regular season every year and was often slightly injured. At that time, he not only returned to the court to complete the free throw, but also wanted to continue fighting with his injured leg. In the competition, it has the reputation of Mr. Key. The more competition, the better. "See the God of Soup in Despair" is not a casual talk. It was the quality of his game that conquered the fans and management, and the top salary-he deserved it and won it with his excellent performance.
Cousins never proved that he was a soldier and a leader. The team with him as the core can't make the playoffs all the year round. He can't control his emotions, scolds coaches and referees, and has a tense relationship with the media. He has been on the list of technical criminals all the year round. ...
Therefore, after the injury, no one cares, which is also reasonable.
After Thompson signed the top salary, unfortunately, he was seriously injured again. However, a long contract can reassure him. As long as he is patient, we believe he will come back.
Cousins chose a short-term contract to join the semi-champion team to prove himself, but he was injured again. The injury that followed ruined the talented center and reduced him from the top salary to the basic salary.
Tang Shen will return to China soon, and we hope to see him set sail again.
Kao Shen has also joined the new team Bucks, and we hope to see him prove himself again.
Two young people, both born in 1990, wish them no injuries in their future careers.
