Cousins' Achilles Tear set social media buzzing.
"It's over. My Rockets are completely finished. The Big Three lasted only two years before it was over!"
"The late emperor's great venture was not yet half complete, yet he passed away midway..."
"Damn, even the Chu Shi Biao is coming out? But it was Zhang Cousins who got hurt, not Liu Paul!"
"An Achilles Tear takes a year to recover from... All I can say is that the Rockets and Cousins are terribly unlucky. Especially Cousins—next year is his contract year."

"Warriors Championship!"
"Pelicans Championship!"
"Cavaliers Championship!"
"Lak..."
Fans were arguing endlessly on social media.
