Due to the prolonged absence of Brook Lopez, the Milwaukee Bucks signed DeMarcus Cousins, and right now it’s a bit tricky for the former All-Star. This night in back-to-back, he started for the second time, and he played 27 minutes. Not yet in great shape, he is trying to acclimate to his new team.
“It’s as if we had a day of rest and a match, so there is little training and little preparation time. Says Cousins, who since arriving, the Bucks have played 11 games in 18 days.
In the heavy loss to the Cavaliers, he compiled 12 points at just 4/11 including 2/6 from away, 12 rebounds, 1 assist, 5 interceptions, 1 against and 4 lost balls. Since his arrival it’s been hard: 5.8 points at 37% including 21.7% at 3-pts, 5.1 rebounds, 1.1 pass and 1.1 interception. His contract is currently not guaranteed, and will only become so in January, so he is not guaranteed to be kept.
“I just have to find my feelings, rhythm and see where I have my shots in attack, get used to taking these shots and be able to put them”, explains DeMarcus Cousins. “And I think tonight I had a good opportunity. Obviously there are a lot of shots that haven’t come in, but that’s part of the process. I have confidence in my qualities, I have confidence in the fact that I will find my rhythm. So I will continue to whip. “
With the absences, Cousins should continue to have a lot of playing time in the coming games, also to benefit from the training that the Bucks will do since their next game is only Wednesday.
