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

周泽率队夏季联赛取得了5连胜，场均25分9篮板1盖帽1抢断，共计获得592点巅峰值。

In addition to post-game rewards...

The Lakers became the Las Vegas Summer League champions, and Zhou Ze won the Summer League MVP.

[Special Reward (Summer League Champion): 200 Peak Value]

[Special Reward (Summer League MVP): 800 Peak Value]

In other words, Zhou Ze obtained a total of 1592 peak points through the summer league.

Peak Value: 1/844

There are less than 200 peak points left before the next ten consecutive draws.

By the way, NBA2k is currently negotiating with Zhou Ze’s agent team regarding endorsement, which will be completed by the end of July at the latest.

Then there is the most important sneaker endorsement for players.

Many sports brands such as Adidas, Nike, Li Ning and Anta want to sign Zhou Ze.

The agent team naturally hopes that Zhou Ze will sign with Nike, which will help him win league honors.

Zhou Ze did not make a decision immediately, but the sports brand he was most interested in was the domestic brand - Anta.

...

...

The news that Zhou Ze led the team to win the championship and won the MVP quickly spread across the United States.

However, the outside world did not praise Zhou Ze too much. On the contrary, the majority of voices were sarcastic and mocking.

The King of Summer League—Zhou Ze!

"Dude, your next MVP will have to wait until next year's summer league!"

"I really don't understand what kind of training you can get from participating in such a competition?"

The only time you can handle the ball is in summer league!

Zhou, he's done practicing!

...

...

That's right.

In the eyes of outside fans, Zhou Ze, whose real combat power is close to that of an All-Star, participating in the low-level summer league is a shameless act.

Although the ball control he showed in the summer league was eye-catching, if it were put on the NBA court, it would be a useless thing that would be tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away.

He should be like a real inside player, fighting under the basket and improving his mediocre finishing ability near the basket, instead of spending more time on face-to-face offense.

This also made many fans think that Zhou Ze was training in the wrong direction.

Black fans even think that Zhou Ze’s performance in the new season will definitely be worse than his rookie season.

Debut is the peak, and every year thereafter will definitely be worse than the previous one.

...

...

Negative public opinion, like a swarm of fish in the river, constantly attacks Zhou Ze.

This also made Zhou Ze feel a surge of energy in his heart.

It was July 7st, the day after the Las Vegas Summer League ended.

Once again, I devoted myself to training.

At the same time, the Lakers officially announced on the same day that they had signed Rajon Rondo.

As a rookie, Rajon Rondo averaged 8 points, 9 assists, 2 steals and 3 rebounds per game.

However, even if Rondo can punch the point guard god in the future, he is still a little immature in controlling mistakes and defense, especially defense.

Rondo learned his defense from Kevin Garnett.

Instructing teammates to defend against air defense was completely influenced by Garnett.

But now he has joined the Los Angeles Lakers, but that doesn’t matter.

Rondo, who has a very high basketball IQ, almost comparable to Zhou Ze, can learn a lot by watching Garnett's game videos.

As for the other two rookies, Shannon Brown and PJ Tucker.

Shannon Brown's performance is much better than PJ Tucker, and the Lakers are also interested in signing a formal contract with him.

As for PJ Tucker, the Lakers management is not optimistic.

His official height is 196cm and his weight is 111kg. He has excellent strength confrontation, but his lateral movement is relatively slow among players in the same position. Although he is active in defense, he lacks experience. He debuted as a "guard" and is easily overtaken by fast players in the same position.

As for the three-point shot, he hasn't developed it yet.

His corner three-pointer was developed during his five-year "wandering career" in Europe.

It's so difficult to have a stable three-point shot.

...

...

The time came to October 2006, 7.

The Lakers officially announced that they have signed a formal contract with rookie PJ Tucker.

This news surprised many Lakers fans.

Judging from his performance in the summer league, PJ Tucker is not qualified to be a guard in the NBA, and he is not qualified even as a substitute.

Obviously, Shannon Brown's performance is much better than PJ Tucker. Why not sign this talented young man in advance?

But some media revealed that this signing was related to Zhou Ze.

It was Zhou Ze who helped PJ Tucker sign with the team successfully.

For this reason, a lot of news slandering Zhou Ze appeared online.

Zhou Ze is rebellious by nature, and winning over his teammates is the first step to seize power.

Zhou Ze has fully exposed his evil ambitions.

the same day.

ESPN, Sports Illustrated and other basketball media outlets have revealed another shocking piece of news.

Andrew Byram, the Lakers' second-year rookie and key training target, averaged 30 minutes per game in the summer league, scoring 12 points and 7 rebounds.

But after the summer league ended, this guy became arrogant and went to nightclubs to get drunk.

At the same time, in a casual chat with the stripper, he said that he was the core of the Lakers team, and Zhou Ze was just signed by the team for transition.

In the new season, I will seize the core position in the heart. If Zhou Ze does not assist me obediently, the only result will be to leave.

"Why do you think the Lakers chose Zhou Ze? It was to assist me!"

...

...

In Kobe's mansion.

Kobe has become accustomed to the media's reports that Zhou Ze wants to take over the team.

Moreover, he does not think that the media is talking nonsense and making unwarranted speculations.

How could a brat with the "Fuxi bone" be inferior to others?

But Kobe was not panicked. On the contrary, he liked this kind of competition.

To a certain extent, Zhou Ze's appearance made Kobe want to further hone his skills all the time.

The pinnacle throne is not given, nor is it self-proclaimed, but earned through fighting!!!

But for Byram...

"idiot!"

"This Andrew is such a pig!"

Kobe was extremely disappointed when he saw Byram, who was so immature.

"I wonder what Zhou will think after he finds out about this? Will there be a rift between you two?" Vanessa asked, with a look of worry on her face.

"Haha." Kobe suddenly laughed out loud and said, "Zhou, he's not a coward. He's a true strong man. How could he be afraid of others competing with him?"

"And..." Kobe suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "That bastard should be very happy..."

"Happy?" Vanessa looked puzzled.

"That bastard might be a little angry about Andrew's stupidity, but he feels more like it's a recognition of him."

"That guy's train of thought is a bit weird. In his opinion, only mediocre people are not envied!"

Kobe's expression was quite complicated.

Andrew Byram's brainless remarks will cause the entire team to fall into a storm of external public opinion. He and Zhou Ze can ignore it, but what about the other players?

What if the team can't be united?

How can we compete for the championship?

"Vanessa, I'm inviting the bad boys and their girlfriends to my house in a couple of days, so you'd better prepare well!" Kobe said.

"Ah!" Vanessa was slightly stunned and looked at Kobe in surprise.

My man doesn’t like to be in a crowd. What’s wrong?

"In the words of that kid, this is called team building, which is used to enhance team cohesion." Kobe said with a smile.

"This is a good idea. I can also have a good chat with their wives and girlfriends, like playing Truth or Dare," said Vanessa.

Vanessa doesn't think Kobe's character has changed, he just wants to compete for the championship too much.
