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

Zhou Ze, who obtained the [Hook Master], although it cannot be called a "killer move" and is still some distance away from being promoted to a "conventional weapon", his ability to punish mismatches has been visibly improved.

With this hook shot, the score came to 69 to 82, and the Lakers took a 13-point lead.

Carmelo Anthony wanted to make an answer-ball. After reaching the midfield position, he kept back-butting Kobe. Suddenly, he turned around and broke through to the right and back. After taking one dribble facing the basket, he took a strong jump shot, carrying Darko Milicic in the air and making a domineering layup.

Anthony is an offensive versatility and skillful player, but his finishing options at the basket are somewhat "bad". He doesn't like to find angles to shoot off the rebound, and after breaking through to the basket, he likes to force a dunk.

But the NBA is not the NCAA. Even though Darko Milicic was carried away in the air by Anthony, his finishing move was obviously a bit weak and the basketball bounced out of the basket.

Anthony quickly jumped twice, trying to grab the offensive rebound, but Zhou Ze, who arrived at this time, jumped even faster. With a "snap", he grabbed the rebound with his big hand.

Anthony was very upset at this time...

The smile on his face was even more bitter than the previous defensive failure.

For Anthony now, the joy of scoring surpasses everything.

...

...

At 6:21 into the fourth quarter, the Lakers were on offense. Kobe, halfway down the left wing, spun around without the ball, caught the pass, and launched a half-turn, sending the Lakers into a frenzy. He instantly shed Greg Buckner's body, then took a step toward the basket. Facing the crouching defense of Francisco Elson, Kobe pulled up for a jumper, sinking the ball to give the Lakers an 85-101 lead.

Zhou Ze's strong attack in the low post disrupted the Denver Nuggets' defensive plan tonight. As a result, Kobe, who was under much less defensive pressure, made 16 of 11 shots.

This shooting percentage doesn't look like Kobe in the playoffs at all.

The Denver Nuggets, who were trailing by 16 points, also tried to catch up. Anthony received the ball one step outside the three-point line and made a shot, but Kobe immediately responded with a super answer-ball.

"drop!"

The referee blew the whistle, and Greg Buckner not only failed to defend Kobe, but also committed a foul.

Kobe made 3+1.

88 is better than 105!

After Kobe made the free throw, the Denver Nuggets still did not give up. After Andre Miller received the ball at the baseline, he wanted to speed up the fast break. Facing Parker's defense, Andre Miller easily passed him with a behind-the-back switch and passed to Carmelo Anthony who was running fast without the ball. Odom was chasing him from behind. Anthony dribbled to the free throw line and suddenly chose to slow down with three steps. He took advantage of the difference in rhythm and shook off Odom.

But at this time he did not notice Zhou Ze behind him. With a "bang!", Zhou Ze blocked Anthony's shot.

This goal ignited the whole stadium again.

The Lakers home fans stood up and applauded at the same time.

There are 4 minutes and 55 seconds left before the end of the game.

With a 17-point difference, the team's morale was low.

After much deliberation, George Karl and the Denver Nuggets coaching staff decided to surrender early.

Continuing to fight would only waste the players' energy.

What's worse is that if the players can't win the game even after trying their best, they will inevitably lose confidence in the subsequent series against the Lakers.

...

...

After the timeout, the Nuggets replaced Anthony, Camby and other starting players.

After Zhou Ze hit a three-pointer, the Lakers' Phil Jackson signaled a tactical foul and prepared to replace Kobe, Zhou Ze and others.

此时已经拿到31分9篮板3助攻2盖帽1抢断的周泽，顿时紧张了起来？

“watch-out!”

“Tomato!”

When Zhou Ze heard the Zen Master say that he wanted to be substituted, he immediately blurted out two sentences with non-standard pronunciation.

You have to know that I am now only 36 points away from the rookie player's first playoff scoring record of 5 points (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar).

It's 35 points away from the second place (Wilt Chamberlain) with 4 points.

It is only 32 point away from the third place (Tim Duncan) with 1 points.

Faced with the record that was within his reach, Zhou Ze was reluctant to give up.

"Zhou, do you want victory or this insignificant record?" Kobe, who saw what Zhou Ze was thinking, said seriously.

"Nonsense, I definitely want them all!" Zhou Ze rolled his eyes and looked at Kobe as if he were an idiot.

You know what I said, it actually makes a lot of sense.

Kobe was speechless immediately.

"Mr. Phil, when was your most glorious moment?" Zhou Ze looked at Zen Master Phil Jackson with a firm gaze.

Zen Master Phil Jackson was stunned.

"When you were a player?"

"Is it the Bulls from the 90s?"

"Or help the Lakers build a dynasty?"

Zhou Ze's voice sounded again.

At this time, Zen Master Phil Jackson held his forehead with his hand and said with a dumb laugh: "Zhou, I have actually seen Slam Dunk and even talked with the author of this comic."

Well...

After hearing this, Zhou Ze felt slightly embarrassed.

"shit!"

"Damn rookie, get out there and break those useless records."

Kobe started to curse and laughed.

After seeing what Kobe said, Zen Master Phil Jackson finally put Zhou Ze on the court.

In his rookie season, his own rookie basically achieved nothing except winning the Rookie of the Year, the All-Star Rookie Challenge MVP, the All-Star starter, and the NBA single-quarter/half-time three-pointer record holder.

Zhou Ze appeared again and started to score points.

This caused dissatisfaction among the Denver Nuggets.

But the Lakers fans at home showed great enthusiasm.

...

...

"drop!"

The final whistle sounded.

competition is over.

93 is better than 113!

Zhou Ze's courage and fighting spirit in garbage time allowed him to score 37 points in his first playoff game.

In one fell swoop, he surpassed two ancient gods and the league's top power forward to become the creator of a new record.

37分12篮板4助攻2盖帽2抢断。

For a rookie, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is amazing!!!

The Lakers won the first game without any bloodshed.

As the league's super rookie, his behavior of inflating his stats in garbage time was naturally criticized and belittled by many media experts after the game.

But a piece of news from ESPN made the fans of the Denver Nuggets and Zhou Ze's haters feel terrified.

Zhou, he seems to have solved the problem of lack of physical strength!

This news report talks about how Zhou Ze was able to rack up great stats in garbage time, and how he seemed to have plenty of energy.

Once Zhou Ze solves his physical problem, it will become increasingly impossible for the Denver Nuggets to complete the black seven.
