As a Kobe hater, he was actually teammates with Kobe!

Zhou Ze's poor free throw shooting has been known by more and more teams. As the "sharpshooter" with the highest three-point production in the league, his free throw percentage is only 58%.

But even so, other teams in the league don't dare to use the "Hack-a-Shaq" tactic on him.

He is a bad shooter and a bad free throw shooter, and these two problems actually coexist in this player.

This is really hard to accept.

After the free throw rate increased to 69, the free throw rate exceeded 6%, which is not a big problem.

As for the increase in physical strength to 107 points, this is a qualitative leap for Zhou Ze, and he can barely maintain efficient output for three quarters.

New badge [Card Monster] function introduction:

1. When fighting for position, speed, explosiveness, flexibility and strength will be slightly improved, so as to better seize the favorable rebounding position.

2. When you get into a favorable position, your strength is increased, allowing you to better defend your rebounding position.

3. To upgrade to the next stage (Silver), 2000 Peak Value points are required.

"The Blocking Monster Badge is quite useful. It not only improves blocking ability, but also increases position grabbing ability. Compared to the Rebounding Master, its only drawback is that it consumes 2000 Peak Points, and you can't increase it by bullying children to get rebounds."

Zhou Ze was quite satisfied with the capabilities of the new badge.

只是接下来的一周（3月5日——3月11日），周泽都没有很好的机会来展现卡位怪兽的能力，湖人分别在3月6日，3月8日输给马刺。

Well...

Even with the buff bonus of the blocking monster, it was still difficult to snatch Tim Duncan.

Zhou Ze was taught a lesson by Tim Duncan.

In the past two weeks, the Lakers lost 2 games and the team's record has plummeted.

It suddenly became the second place in the Western Conference and fell to fourth place in the Western Conference.

Kobe's MVP trophy seemed like a mirage, and in the end it was nothing.

Although Kobe has publicly stated that the MVP trophy is not as important as team victory.

But Kobe naturally wants it in his heart...

Kobe's fans want this too...

As a teammate, Zhou Ze also wanted to help Kobe.

But the Lakers' overall strength is indeed far from that of a truly strong team. They cannot rely on Kobe alone to carry the team. As the second-in-command, Zhou Ze has limited offensive means. Once the opponent figures out his situation, his offensive state fluctuates. As for the third-in-command, Odom, it's like riding a roller coaster.

The time comes on June 3th.

This game can be called the NBA Spring Festival Gala.

The Lakers and Rockets will stage a China derby at the Toyota Center.

The Lakers have played against the Rockets before, but Yao Ming was injured at that time.

Yao Ming, who returned from injury, also led the Rockets back into the playoffs.

In this game, both Yao and McGrady will play to defend their home court.

...

...

Before the game.

Rockets general manager Mo B was interviewed by reporters and asked what he thought of the Lakers this season.

"Although the Lakers have had many highlights in the past half of the season, this train called "Los Angeles Lakers" now seems to have run out of gas," said Mo B.

"Oh, then what do you think of Yao Ming's compatriot, Zhou Ze? He has almost already booked the Rookie of the Year award." The reporter asked again.

Mo B shook his head and pursed his lips, saying, "I don't think he's better than CP3 and the others. He's just luckier. Being next to Kobe gives him more open looks."

From Mo B's tone, it can be heard that he looks down on Zhou Ze and has not even studied Zhou Ze seriously.

Rockets home court.

Toyota Center.

Inside the Lakers' away locker room.

"Guys, after this game, we only have 13 regular season games left. The Denver Nuggets, who are fifth in the Western Conference, are only one game behind us, and their remaining schedule is relatively easy."

"In order for us to have home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs, we have to fight hard starting today."

Zen Master Phil Jackson gave a pre-game mobilization speech.

The word "serious" is written on every player's face.

The Lakers players all knew clearly that the team had to start the final sprint.

...

...

The starting lineup of both parties:

Lakers (away): Smush Parker, Kobe Bryant, Lamar Odom, Zhou Ze and Kwame Brown.

Rockets (home): Rafer Alston, Luther Head, Tracy McGrady, Juwan Howard and Yao Ming.

After the game started, Kwame Brown and Yao Ming had a jump ball.

Kwame Brown, who was extremely dedicated and serious, gathered strength in his legs before the jump ball in order to win the first offensive ball for the Lakers. He looked intently at the basketball in the referee's hands. As a result, he twisted his butt up and down and successfully made the referee laugh.

This made Kwame Brown, who has a somewhat sensitive personality, feel like he had done something wrong.

“Come on, man!”

"Yao, his jumping height is not even as high as my lighter!"

Zhou Ze touched Kwame Brown's head. He had to admit, after his arm span grew to 221cm, it was really easy to touch the back of someone's head.

But Yao Ming rolled his eyes at these words of comfort to his teammates and said, "Xiao Zhou, I'm going to let you taste my hook shot tonight..."

"Yao, it's okay, come on, I'm not the one defending you anyway." The task of defending Yao Ming naturally fell to the parallel import brothers.

Dayao was speechless for a moment.

The referee tossed the ball again.

Kwame Brown showed off his jumping talent and successfully won the jump ball with Yao Ming, giving the Lakers the first offensive possession after the opening.

Smush Parker and Kwame Brown performed a high pick-and-roll. Kwame Brown gave Parker a complete pick-and-roll with the aim of directly trapping the streetball king Al Thornton.

Parker took a step to the left, and Yao Ming saw that his opponent was open, so he rushed forward to pounce. Although Yao Ming had short arms, he was really too tall. He was like a moving Great Wall, directly covering Parker in front of him, blocking his vision, and the latter missed the shot.

Juwan Howard, one of the Michigan Five Tigers during the NCAA era, was under the basket. He was 206cm tall and weighed 109kg. Although he had blocked the rebounding position in advance, Zhou Ze's butt suddenly rushed over and squeezed him. Then, Zhou Ze pushed hard with his back and instantly blocked Juwan Howard behind him and grabbed the rebounding position. With a "pop", he suddenly jumped up and grabbed the offensive rebound when the basketball fell.

Zhou Ze jumped up a second time, ready to attack the basket, but an arm came over and the referee's whistle sounded.

"drop!"

Juwan Howard committed a hand foul!
