...

...

The Lakers, who got the match point first, lost in Game 5.

Nothing.

Kobe, who carried the team for several games, was as bad as a dog tonight.

Zhou Ze's status is online.

But without Kobe to draw the firepower, Zhou Ze couldn't reap the benefits on the offensive end. Playing without the ball, he couldn't initiate the offense on his own. In the regular season, Kobe was a dead end, and Zhou Ze might still be able to turn the tide.

But this is the playoffs, not to mention, Jets Jason Terry exploded with three-pointers tonight, hitting 9 three-pointers in a single game and shooting through the Lakers' outside line.

9 three-pointers in a single playoff game, just 1 away from the single-game playoff record for three-pointers.

Well...

Incidentally, Jason Terry, Vince Carter, and Rex Chapman all hold the record for most three-pointers made in a single playoff game in the NBA.

...

...

The Lakers are 3-2 and still lead the Mavericks by a large margin.

However, another matchup in the Western Conference semifinals surprised Zhou Ze a little. The Suns are currently leading the Spurs 3-2. Are they going to complete a comeback?

Game 6 was played at the Dallas Mavericks' home stadium.

From the first second after the game started, Kobe showed his desperate spirit. Facing close defense, Kobe put all his strength into breaking through the basket and causing damage.

Zhou Ze also used his impact during the transition between offense and defense to complete many "Kobe-style assists."

Well...

no way.

Although Zhou Ze now has the [Fearless Terminator (Silver)] which can improve his layup accuracy, his basic attributes are indeed a bit lacking.

Zhou Ze's breakthrough layup was only a pitiful 81 (97). Although he was able to rush to the basket, the finishing shot was too bad.

This made Zhou Ze consider whether to change his jersey number.

"Why don't you wear the No. 0 jersey next season?"

Although his layup finish was poor, Zhou Ze's three-point shooting was also quite poor tonight.

However, after the fourth quarter, Dirk Nowitzki, who was defending him, slowed down noticeably and it became increasingly difficult for him to catch up.

Of course, this is normal. Nowitzki plays both a father and a mother in the Dallas Mavericks, which consumes too much of his energy on the offensive end. He lacks the ability to attack with his back to the basket and to pass the ball, so he can only play a lot of singles.

The Lakers also have such a player who can just stand alone and play one-on-one.

Although Dirk Nowitzki can hit wonderful shots, Kobe can also return them in time.

As Zhou Ze hit his eighth three-pointer of the night in the fourth quarter, Dirk Nowitzki, who arrived a step late, felt his legs go weak and he collapsed to the ground after seeing Zhou Ze's empty shot.

110 to 99, with less than 2 minutes left in the game.

it's over!

Without a miracle, it will be the end.

on the other hand.

The Dallas Mavericks' home fans couldn't help but shout, "Beat-LA!"

"Beat-LA!"

"Beat-LA!"

...

...

"too crazy."

"Zhou, his shooting isn't as accurate as Dirk's, but he gives people a more dangerous feeling."

Kenny Smith in the TNT live broadcast room couldn't help but sigh at Zhou Ze's three-point shooting ability.

"If it's the last shot, I will choose Dirk Nowitzki without hesitation, but if it's a life-or-death gamble, then I choose Zhou Ze!" Charles Barkley, his old partner, echoed with a smile.

Zhou Ze only made one three-pointer in the first three quarters.

He made 7 three-pointers in the fourth quarter alone.

Broke Anthony Walker's playoff single-quarter three-pointer record.

Became the new record holder.

At the same time, the Dallas Mavericks' efforts tonight were once again wasted.

...

...

Chasing 2 points in 11 minutes!

It's not uncommon in the NBA.

But in front of the Zerby combination, such a miracle does not exist.

"drop!"

The referee whistle sounded.

Dirk Nowitzki hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer.

119 is better than 110!

The Lakers won Game 9 with a 6-point advantage, with a score of 4-2, and entered the Western Conference Finals with their heads held high.

...

...

Another 2 days passed.

The Eastern and Western Conference Finals matchups are released.

Eastern Conference: Pistons vs. Heat.

West: Lakers vs. Suns.

Well...

Zhou Ze was very surprised. He didn't expect the Suns to win the seventh game.

In the four encounters during the regular season, the Lakers had the upper hand, but as we all know, the regular season and the playoffs are two different types of games.

The time came to October 2006, 5.

Western Conference Finals Game 1.

Staples Center, home of the Los Angeles Lakers.

Before the game, players from both sides warmed up in training suits.

What surprised Zhou Ze was that Vanessa, who was still in confinement after her baby was born, also came to the scene.

Right!

Mothers in Europe and the United States do not observe the confinement period after giving birth.

Her second daughter Gianna and eldest son Awada did not come, as they were taken care of by a confinement nanny at home.

"Kobe... Zhou, what is he doing?" Vanessa looked at Zhou Ze on the court. He was not doing shooting training or stretching. He was sitting quietly at the logo in the center of the court, touching the floor for 5 minutes.

"Huh, why doesn't this bastard become a floor inspector?" Kobe rolled his eyes and speechlessly complained about such weird behavior.

"The floor in the Western Conference Finals feels pretty average to the touch."

“I don’t think it’s anything special.”

"Maybe the Western Conference Finals were too boring for me!"
