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

After acquiring the positioning monster, Zhou Ze not only became more ferocious in positioning, but also more solid. In less than 6 minutes in the first quarter, Juwan Howard encountered two brutal positioning attacks from Zhou Ze and watched Zhou Ze snatch the offensive rebound in front of him.

This was thanks to the Lakers using pick-and-rolls between outside players and the center to get Yao Ming out of the basket, allowing Zhou Ze and Uncle Huo to fight for the rebounds.

Of course, if he were to compete with Yao Ming for the "standing board" position, he would still lose.

How to say it, for Zhou Ze, the current monsters that block the position can only bully the "old, weak, sick and disabled".

Kobe faced McGrady's defense on the outside. With the help of Kwame Brown's pick-and-roll, McGrady failed to squeeze through in time. After Kobe took a step to the left, he leaned forward and started to move. Yao Ming quickly switched defense. "Zizizi...zizizi", there was a loud friction sound between Kobe's soles and the floor. Kobe made a sudden stop and jump shot without any warning. His posture was picturesque and the shot went into the net.

21 to 14, the Lakers lead by 7 points.

After scoring the goal, Kobe was about to smile, but when he saw Zhou Ze's unhappy face under the basket, he immediately lost his mood.

Zhou Ze raised an eyebrow at Kobe, as if to say, "I finally managed to snatch a spot, and how did you get in? Damn, you'll eventually become the Iron King of all time. Is this just a name you earned in vain as Los Angeles's "little blacksmith"?

For this, Kobe rolled his eyes at him and turned back to defend.

Kobe is still in good shape tonight, and Zhou Ze has also completely recovered from last week's high-intensity schedule.

Zhou Ze in the corner accelerated suddenly and cut into the basket. Smush Parker quickly passed the ball to Zhou Ze. After receiving the ball, he shot up. Despite his amazing speed, he was still blocked by a big hand behind him. With a "bang", Yao Ming, who came to defend, hit Zhou Ze's arm and the referee's whistle sounded.

Zhou Ze's arm was hit in mid-air, but he did not completely lose his balance. However, his finishing move was too stiff, and the basketball bounced out of the basket, failing to make a 2+1.

Zhou Ze made 2 of 1 free throws.

28 to 18, the Lakers' lead reached 10 points.

After another round, McGrady missed a three-pointer. The Lakers protected the rebound and launched a fast break. McGrady defended Zhou Ze who was running without the ball. The latter suddenly stopped at the left wing corner outside the three-point line. Kobe broke through from the top of the arc with the ball. Streetball king Alston wanted to slow down Kobe, but was squeezed away by Kobe as soon as he got close to him. McGrady quickly came to the rescue.

Zhou Ze took a step toward the sideline, Kobe passed the ball, and McGrady quickly took a step back to defend Zhou Ze's drive to the basket after the street ball, but Zhou Ze had no intention of entering the paint at all. After receiving the ball, he directly pulled up for a three-pointer.

31 to 18, the lead directly reached 13 points.

With 1 minute and 52 seconds left in the first quarter, the Rockets quickly requested a timeout.

...

...

After the game entered the second quarter, the Rockets let Yao Ming attack the low post more often. In a half-transition, Yao Ming took advantage of the mismatch with Zhou Ze.

A smile appeared on Dayao's lips, and he immediately moved forcefully to the deep post to take position.

Yao Ming at this stage weighed more than 140kg and was very big, so it was very difficult for Zhou Ze to lift him up. After receiving the ball, Yao Ming turned around and made a hook shot. Zhou Ze, who was defending Yao Ming a moment ago, could not jump up at all.

Of course, U1S1, even if Zhou Ze jumped up, it would not have a very good interference effect.

"There's nothing we can do about this ball. The height difference is too big. Xiao Zhou tried his best." After seeing Yao Ming's hook shot hit the backboard, the commentator of Tianchao Sports laughed.

"Brother Yao...you are so cruel even to our own people!" Zhou Ze, who was bullied by Big Yao, rolled his eyes.

"You defended well, it was just a lucky shot for me." Yao Ming showed his Yao-style humor.

Yao Ming's low-post play is truly terrifying.

This is a test for both Zhou Ze and the parallel import brothers.

Once Yao Ming receives the ball head-on, it is basically impossible to defend.

Yao Ming scored 6 points in a row, which stabilized the Rockets' decline.

The Lakers were experiencing a scoring drought, and the Rockets selectively left Lamar Odom open, who missed three-pointers in succession.

"Oh my..."

"Odom is really bad. He couldn't even make a shot from a wide-open position."

"Yeah, that's the Lakers' problem. They don't have a strong inside player, and Odom's shooting is inconsistent. It's going to be hard for them to compete with really strong teams."

The commentator from the Tianchao Sports Studio analyzed the current situation of the Lakers.

Although Odom and Smush Parker have shooting skills, they are unstable. We can selectively leave them open for a few rounds and play psychological warfare on them. If they score, we won't give them any chances.

If the shot doesn't go in, just keep shooting, making them hesitate and afraid to make a normal move.

In a half-transition of the Lakers, Zhou Ze took advantage of the mismatch with Yao Ming.

Zhou Ze, who was forced to take down a opponent a few rounds ago, chose to play one-on-one against Yao Ming in the low post this time, and signaled his teammates to move away.

This made Zen Master Phil Jackson stand up on the bench, confused.

Are you crazy? You haven't even mastered your steps yet!

Not to mention Yao Ming, you can't even beat the team's backup center Chris Mihm.

The Lakers players on the court cooperated very well to create space for Zhou Ze. Zhou Ze kept pushing Yao Ming behind him, trying to get to the deep low post.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle...

Sizzle sizzle...

There was the violent friction between sneakers and the floor, the collision of muscles, and both men gritted their teeth and fought with all their might.

But the Chinese fans who were watching the live game on TV almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

Zhou Ze, who is almost a head shorter than Yao Ming, looked like he was about to rush into Yao Ming's arms when he was playing behind the ball.

Suddenly, Zhou Zemeng's shot was so fast that even Parker, who was holding the ball, was a little confused.

"quick!"

"quick!"

"quick!"

"Pass the ball!"

Zhou Ze bounced outside the three-point line, Parker quickly passed the ball, Yao Ming gritted his teeth and rushed forward, trying to block Zhou Ze's three-pointer.

After receiving the ball, Zhou Ze saw that Yao Ming was still a step and a half away from him. He sighed and thought to himself, "Oh, there's no way to draw a three-point foul on Yao Ming."

Zhou Ze simply took a three-pointer, and with a "swish", the three-pointer went in.

"Xiao Zhou, you're playing dirty with your own people." Dayao said speechlessly.

Zhou Ze's posture just now clearly showed that he was planning to engage in hand-to-hand combat with him, but he never expected that he would suddenly run outside the three-point line to shoot. Even if he had reacted, he would not have been able to catch up.

"Brother Yao, you did it just now." Zhou Ze pursed his lips and said nonchalantly.
