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

What is the basic idea of ​​Sun Tzu's Art of War: Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle.

That's right.

The main reason why the Dallas Mavericks lost the game tonight was "information asymmetry between the two sides."

The Dallas Mavericks wanted to use "Josh Howard" to limit Zhou Ze from the beginning of the game, but what he never expected was that Zhou Ze was already able to punish the mismatch.

If it was a standard No. 3 position, Zhou Ze might not be able to play, but using the No. position to defend would be like giving someone a pillow when they are sleepy.

In addition, the "off-ball defense" against Zhou Ze was also very poor. They let Zhou Ze receive the ball too comfortably and did not set up an ambush on the passing route.

Of course, the Dallas Mavericks didn't ignore this, but their defensive resources were limited. If you increase your defensive resources against Zhou Ze, it means you have to let Kobe go.

Zhou Ze and Kobe are like two bottles of poison.

Well...

1.75 bottles of poison, to be exact.

In the first half of the regular season, the Zerby combination was 1.5 bottles of poison, but at the end it was at least 1.75 bottles.

Player data:

湖人队，科比以55%的命中率，高效的拿到了28分3篮板5助攻1抢断1篮板。

To be honest, before the 09-10 season, if Kobe's teammates had been a little more supportive, his shooting percentage would have been quite high.

During the 09-10 regular season, Kobe injured his right index finger. Since then, Kobe has known that conventional shooting methods are not effective. After the off-season, Kobe changed his shooting hand shape and, through extensive training, shot at least 1000 balls every day.

Philadelphia 76ers' No. draft pick Markelle Fultz knows a thing or two about the impact of shooting hand shape on basketball players.

Kobe often felt numbness in his index finger and had no feeling.

But when people asked if Kobe's hand shape affected his shooting accuracy, the Black Mamba didn't blame his injured index finger. [Note: Information from "Mamba Mentality: Kobe Bryant's Autobiography"]

Zhou Ze scored 26 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block and 1 steal. His shooting percentage was slightly lower, but it was still 50%. You know, Zhou Ze is not a traditional inside player. His three-point shots accounted for as high as 30%.

Compared to Dirk Nowitzki, Zhou Ze is more like a "softie".

Zhou Ze once again chose to draw randomly.

获得了1点随机属性，系统强化到了爆发力上，从78（110）提升到79（110）。

...

On the other hand, the Dallas Mavericks.

Apart from Dirk Nowitzki who scored 29 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, no other player scored more than 15 points.

Dirk Nowitzki, unable to carry the team alone, lost Game 1 of the semifinals.

After the game, interviews with Dallas Mavericks players and coaches made Zen Master Phil Jackson smell a hint of danger.

Mavericks coach Avery Johnson: "I think the highest compliment I can give him is I still don't know how to describe him. The only other two players I feel the same way about are Michael Jordan and Shaquille O'Neal."

Jason Terry: "I think the X-man who beat us tonight was Zhou Ze."

Josh Howard: "Zhou, his growth rate is incredible. I even think his influence on the Lakers is greater than Kobe Bryant's."

Not only that...

Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban also said on his personal social media account: "Zhou Ze, he is the king of Los Angeles."

After the game, Zhou Ze returned home and looked at the comments given to him by the Mavericks. Although he looked a little embarrassed, he felt happy in his heart.

"It's cool."

"Although I know this is a divisive tactic used by the Dallas Mavericks to provoke the Black Mamba."

"But why do I sound so cheerful?"

Zhou Ze, who had always wanted to rebel against Tian Gang, did not immediately think about how angry Kobe would be after hearing this. He was actually looking forward to whether the cowboys would shout "MVP" at him when he went to the Dallas Mavericks' home court.

However, Zhou Ze soon thought of his good friend Kobe and wondered if he would be furious after learning about this.

Thinking of this...

Hey!

As the godfather of GiGi and Avada, Zhou Ze is even more looking forward to it.

At the same time, Kobe at home was full of disdain when he saw the news.

"Dallas is playing childish games just to beat us."

"childish!"

"Even more childish than your Uncle Zhou."

Kobe said to Gianna in her crib.

Kobe, who has now entered his youth, is much more mature mentally than when he was in the OK period, so he naturally doesn't take these rumors to heart.

The only thing that made him dissatisfied was that he felt that Zhou Ze must be very happy and excited now.

...

...

G2 battle!

Staples Center.

In the Lakers' home locker room, Kobe took the initiative to talk about the Mavericks' praise for Zhou Ze.

"Kobe, how could I possibly fall for such a childish plot to sow discord?" Zhou Ze said righteously.

"Really? Then why is it harder to suppress the corners of your mouth than AK? Especially when you were being interviewed by the media just now, you almost laughed out loud." Kobe looked at Zhou Ze's upturned mouth corners and said gritting his teeth.

"Kobe, you don't understand this. I'm going to use their trick against you and make the Dallas Mavericks really think that they have succeeded in alienating us..." Zhou Ze began to lie with his eyes open.

Kobe scratched his ears expressionlessly, obviously not believing Zhou Ze's nonsense.

The starting lineups for both teams tonight are exactly the same as in the previous game.

But the defensive strategy was adjusted, with Dirk Nowitzki responsible for defending Zhou Ze.

Josh Howard is the primary defender on Kobe.

In addition, after the game started, Lamar Odom's three-point shooting was tested.

In-class exams are not full exams.

The Dallas Mavericks first left Lamar Odom open, and as long as he missed the first shot, they would continue to open him up.

Odom is Kardashian's husband and a left-handed magician, but he is not a three-point shooter, nor does he have the big heart like Jordan, Kobe and Zhou Ze. After missing three consecutive shots, Odom began to panic.

Once Odom is unable to create space, the Dallas Mavericks' defensive resources can be more unscrupulously piled on Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze cannot beat Nowitzki, who is 213cm tall, in the low post.

Although the outside line can use speed to beat Nowitzki, Odom is left open, and Adrian Griffin can keep a close eye on the passing routes of Death God Parker and Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze found it difficult to receive the ball comfortably.

40 to 43, at the end of the first half, the scores of both sides were very low, and the total score did not even reach 90.

Zhou Ze was limited by the Mavericks to only 6 points and 6 rebounds through offense and defense transitions.

Kobe scored 19 points in the first half. Unlike Zhou Ze, he had no need for space. After all, his inside partner in the first three-peat dynasty was Shaquille O'Neal.

As for the Dallas Mavericks.

The reason why their score was low was that Dirk Nowitzki consumed a lot of energy in defending Zhou Ze. In addition, the Lakers' fake brothers also tried their best to defend him, using all their tricks.

I'm really looking up information carefully.
