June 5th News Today, Cousins ​​participated in the "Run It Back" program and talked about the Knicks' exit.

Host: "We have to start sharing the blame. A small number of active Knicks fans, who immediately pointed their finger at Towns after the team was eliminated from the playoffs. Then we heard some rumors that the players were not satisfied with Towns' defense... all kinds of negative voices emerged. Are you surprised by this? Where do you think this accusation comes from? Does it make sense?"

Cousins: "The evening time is a multi-faceted factor. What do I mean Yes, after the series, there are a lot of things that can be broken down and analyzed, like what they could have done better. I think it's a shared responsibility. You know, if they win, there won't be someone who takes all the credit. So it shouldn't be a single person when they lose. I do think Towns plays a role in some of the team's shortcomings, and obviously defense is the biggest problem. "

" But overall, I think this team lacks a key scorer. Although they have Jay Brun Sen, but there is no real high-yield scoring point except him. Or, there is a lack of a player who can carry the 'gift ball, I'll get points for the team and win'. I think Brunson can be the complementary player of that kind. He is a good second-in-command, but if he treats a defender with a low figure and athletic ability as the core to strive for the championship, I think it's difficult. In the series, his shortcomings will eventually be exposed, and the fact is indeed the case. So I think they need to introduce another high Score players, such as players like Kevin Durant or Giannis. Such signings can help the team break through the bottleneck. But I also think changing coaches may also play the same role. There are too many links that can be easily improved in a season, and it is difficult to blame a certain point. And I think their cooperation with Towns still has a chance to succeed, and of course we also need to find the right player to cooperate with him. So this is not a person's fault, it is obviously the result of the joint action of multiple factors."
