Three wins and two losses. That's the record of DeMarcus Cousins for his debut in 3X3 basketball. Integrated into the Wuxi Huishan team, and while it was learned that he was earning $300,000 per month, the former Kings and Pelicans pivot participated this weekend in one of the stages of the Super3 Leaguea Chinese league, and it was on the Zhangjiagang side.
As expected, and after participating in youth events, taking pictures and signing balls, DeMarcus Cousins put on a show. We saw him crush the rim, harangue the crowd, complain to the referees or take a technical foul for swinging an opponent on the rebound.
In the last group match against Shanghai Hengsha Yumin, he even scored the winning basket at the buzzer (21-20). The day before, he had scored 13 of his team's 19 points in the defeat against Ningbo Haishu Jieying of Latvian Karlis Lasmanis.
In the quarter-finals, DeMarcus Cousins scored only 6 of his team's 13 points, beaten by Shanghai Jiushi of New Zealand player Tay Wynyard, the future winner of the tournament.
