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

He is the killer of Kobe's killer!

"The thorny rookie throws an elbow for Kobe!"

Angry rookie almost leads to a fight!

Raja Bell suffered a mild concussion and is expected to miss two weeks.

"Lakers rookie scores 2+ points in 20 consecutive games, helping the Lakers achieve consecutive wins!"

Lakers rookie may face suspension!

Amar'e Stoudemire: See you next time, Zhou!

Kobe: Zhou, he's just a little clumsy!

...

...

After the game, the news about Zhou Ze elbowing Raja Bell to the point of knocking him unconscious was reported by major American sports platforms.

Zhou Ze, the person involved, repeatedly stated that he was innocent in front of the media.

But Zhou Ze's elbow attack was at such a precise angle, and before swinging his elbow, he glanced at Raja Bell who came to defend him. Anyone with a discerning eye could guess that he did it on purpose.

As the Suns' perimeter defensive stalwart, he is expected to miss two weeks of games, which has made Suns fans hate Zhou Ze, and he is a bit like the public enemy of the Suns.

The Suns' main player and All-Star power forward Amar'e Stoudemire, who is currently recovering from injury, also publicly stated that he would teach Zhou Ze a lesson after his return.

Of course, there were also many people who spoke up for Zhou Ze.

Lakers fans really appreciated Zhou Ze's behavior of standing up for Kobe.

Even those black fans who often question Zhou Ze, who obviously have a muscular body, are like wimps who can only float on the outside and shoot three-pointers.

After Zhou Ze elbowed Raja Bell in the head and he fell unconscious, many people turned from haters to fans.

And with a bit of joking praise, it seems that Zhou Ze's muscles are not without use.

In addition to Lakers fans, there are also Lakers players.

"Zhou, he didn't mean it."

"You know, Zhou, he's a 113kg inside player. He doesn't react as quickly as outside players."

"He's just a little clumsy."

"Haha, as for Zhou's suspension fine, of course I will pay for him."

When answering reporters' questions, Kobe blatantly favored Zhou Ze.

Because of this, the local media reporters in Phoenix were so angry that they gave Kobe and Zhou Ze a combined name - "Los Angeles Elbows".

...

...

The league issued a suspension against Zhou Ze the next day.

One-game suspension and $1.5 fine.

After learning of the suspension, Zhou Ze fans and Lakers fans at home and abroad couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It seems that the league still believed Zhou Ze's "sophistry" and did not think that he deliberately elbowed Raja Bell.

Well...

At least that's what people think on the surface.

But in the final analysis, the alliance still took Zhou Ze's commercial value into consideration.

Take his compatriot Yao Ming for example. After joining the Rockets, he made the Rockets owner a fortune.

certainly...

Not all Chinese players who enter the NBA can receive "special treatment" from the league. All of this depends on their strength.

...

...

The Lakers still have two games this week.

On November 11, the Lakers will play the second game against the Denver Nuggets at home, and Zhou Ze, who is suspended, will not be able to participate.

On November 11, the Lakers traveled to Atlanta to play against the Hawks, and Zhou Ze will return in this game.

With four days left before the match against the Hawks, Zhou Ze not only practiced three-point shooting diligently, but also upgraded his [Catch and Shooter (Silver)], [Three-Point Agent (Silver)], and [Sharpshooter (Bronze)] as soon as possible.

Among these three projection badges, the most difficult to upgrade is the "Anti-projection Interference" [Sharpshooter (Bronze)].

Need to hit 5000 three-pointers without defensive interference.

But Zhou Ze can't stop the bug.

The system does not specify that it needs to be under the defensive interference of NBA players.

In order to fix the bug, Zhou Ze actively participated in the Lakers' community activities.

On November 11, the Lakers community activity took the players to a local elementary school in Los Angeles. Zhou Ze actively interacted with the elementary school students on the basketball court.

Showing off his accurate shooting to the elementary school students.

You know, for NBA players, their participation in community activities can be regarded as a political task.

Some veterans might have pretended, but fellow Los Angeles rookie Andrew Byram and second-year player Sasha Vujacic were completely absent-minded.

I can't wait to end this boring activity and rush to the nightclub to save the soul of the fallen woman.

But Zhou Ze devoted himself wholeheartedly...

More than a dozen children felt his "top shot" ability.

The local media in Los Angeles also reported the incident extensively afterwards, praising Zhou Ze as the NBA's new generation of love ambassador.

...

...

The next day, November 11, the Lakers defeated the Denver Nuggets 06-112 at home, achieving their second consecutive win over the Nuggets and their third consecutive win of the season.

With this wonderful start, Lakers fans are more and more confident that this year's Lakers will definitely make it to the playoffs and may even go further.

During this period without games, daily one-on-one matches with Kobe are essential.

Although Zhou Ze was still being abused unilaterally, the situation was much better than when he first joined the team.

In addition, Kobe almost became the first victim of Zhou Ze's "meteor dunk" in the one-on-one match.

Zhou Ze's Meteor Dunk is still under development...

The main problem is still bullet speed and explosive power.

Lack of explosive power makes it difficult to rush forward in a short period of time.

Lack of rebound speed makes it easy for defensive players to predict the ball in advance.

...

...

The time came to October 2005, 11.

The Lakers arrived in Atlanta the day before the game.

After the training, Zhou Ze and Kobe went to a famous local "Kobe Beef Restaurant".

After having dinner together, the two came out of the hotel and met media reporters.

Although both of them did not like to be interviewed by the media, the reporters surrounded them immediately.

Reporter: "Kobe, Zhou, are you having dinner together?"

Zhou Ze: "Yes."

Reporter: "Who paid for this meal?"

Zhou Ze: "Of course it's Kobe, he's the current team leader."

Reporter: "Haha."

Zhou Ze continued, "The boss is here to treat us to a meal."

Reporter: "Zhou, you mentioned the word 'currently' just now. Does it seem like you have the idea of ​​replacing him?"

Zhou Ze immediately pretended to be dumbfounded and said, "Did I say that?"

Kobe on the side couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Kobe knew what Zhou Ze was thinking.

This damn little bastard is no ordinary rookie. Even when facing me, he is neither humble nor arrogant, and he wants to defeat me all the time.
