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

The Lakers have two more games this week, against the Portland Trail Blazers and the Minnesota Timberwolves respectively.

Both games were played at the Lakers' home court.

In the game against Portland, Brandon Roy sat on the bench in a suit and tie.

Just after the last game, Roy was forced to rest due to pain caused by a large bone in his left foot. His recovery period is expected to be 1 month.

This also means that Roy will not be able to participate in the NBA Rookie of the Week and November Player of the Month elections this week.

Another rookie of the Trail Blazers, and this year's second pick, LaMarcus Aldridge, was traded to the Trail Blazers after being selected by the Bulls. The trading target was this year's fourth pick in the first round, Terrence Thomas, and the signing rights of Garvict Kriappa.

However, even if Aldridge is not injured, it will be difficult for him to get enough playing time in the team, even though he is the second pick.

The Trail Blazers' starting twin towers are Zach Randolph and Jamaal Magloire.

The big black bear, one of the famous black and white bears in the future, is currently a black hole and a cancer in the Trail Blazers, even though he can get data close to 20+10.

Another big inside player, Jamal Magloire, is 211cm tall and weighs 118kg. He is a rebounding expert and averaged 9.5 rebounds per game last season.

Last season, in the matchup between Zhou Ze and Randolph, not only did Zhou Ze fail to gain any advantage, but he also often suffered losses.

The two face off again tonight.

During his time with the Trail Blazers, Randolph was rather lazy on the defensive end, but when facing Zhou Ze, he always put his best effort into it.

Whether it was Randolph or Jamal Magloire, Zhou Ze could not take any advantage in the low post.

After the game started, Zhou Ze wanted to use his speed to beat Zach Randolph by running without the ball. Randolph really couldn't keep up with Zhou Ze, but the Trail Blazers put a lot of effort into Zhou Ze's "receiving the ball".

Their wing forward Amy Udoka, when he was coaching the Celtics, had a "power-for-sex transaction" with a female staff member of the team, which violated the Celtics' regulations and was therefore fired.

In the 2023-2024 season, Udoka switched to coach the Rockets, which once gave Rockets fans hope of entering the playoffs, but unfortunately the team had too many injuries and the quality of inside and outside stars was not enough. Whether it was Shen Jing or Jalen Glenn, their strengths were not long and their weaknesses were too short.

Udoka's assist defense was very smart, delaying Lao Yu's pass to Zhou Ze several times.

...

...

Zhou Ze ran from the top of the arc to the bottom corner. The moment he received the ball, Udoka came over to double-team him and adopted blindfold defense.

Blindfold defense is not very useful for Kobe, but it is quite uncomfortable for Zhou Ze, whose basic three-point attributes are not high and whose shooting muscle memory is not deep enough.

Zhou Ze wanted to pass the ball, but Randolph and Udoka kept waving their arms and successfully prevented Zhou Ze from passing the ball.

Immediately afterwards, Randolph grabbed the basketball in Zhou Ze's hand and tried to make a violent steal.

At this moment, Zhou Ze suddenly exerted force, and the strongest power in the NBA was about to burst out. Not only did he make Randolph stagger, but he also quickly passed the ball, dribbled with a burst of acceleration, moved past Udoka, and went straight to the basket with the ball at the baseline.

Seeing that there was no one defending the basket, Udoka hurriedly chased after it.

"drop!"

The referee whistle sounded.

Udoka, who was planning to commit an early foul, was a little slow. Not only did he fail to cut the basketball from Zhou Ze's hand, but he also allowed him to complete a powerful one-handed dunk.

"Wow!"

"Wow!"

"Wow!"

The fans at the scene burst into exclamations at this time, which swept across the entire stadium like drizzle, forming waves of exclamations.

"OMG!"

“This works!”

"It was quite a surprise."

"Zhou, he perfectly embodies what it means to achieve miracles with great effort."

The on-site commentator couldn't help but praise Zhou Ze's attack.

Seeing that he was about to make a mistake, Zhou Ze used a method that no one expected to break the double-team.

When others break through a double-team, they either use their speed and strength to break through or they choose to pass the ball.

But what about Zhou Ze...

Taking advantage of the moment when Randolph held the ball, he exerted force suddenly, making him stagger, and then broke through with the ball.

The whole process prevented the referee who wanted to call a foul from reacting, and Zhou Ze actually made his way to the basket.

certainly...

This method should not be used frequently, as it involves too much luck.

"Zhou, did you take drugs before the game?" Randolph looked at Zhou Ze in surprise.

This guy is getting tougher.

The grip strength just displayed made him feel even more terrifying than that of peak O'Neal.

"Zach, you've just become weaker." Zhou Ze said with a smile.

"Hmph, Zhou, do you dare to fight me under the basket like a man?" Randolph used provocation.

"Zach, as you wish." Zhou Ze said.

...

...

In the next offensive round, Fisher saw that Kobe on the court was a little tired.

Currently the score is 19 to 24, and the Lakers lead by 5 points.

Kobe scored 12 points alone, and the consecutive scoring consumed a lot of energy.

Old Fish Fisher made a gesture.

This made Trail Blazers coach Nate McMillan stand up from his seat. The Trail Blazers have studied the Lakers a lot.

He had never seen this gesture before.

What tactics will the Lakers use next?

That's right.

The tactic that will be used is - "Dribble and chase and cut - the strong side forward drops to the low post."

Zhou Ze stood at the right corner outside the three-point line. As Lao Yu moved towards Zhou Ze with the ball, Zhou Ze seized the opportunity to move down, making it difficult for Randolph, who was defending him.

Randolph failed to stop Zhou Ze who suddenly cut inside, and Fisher made a high pass. Zhou Ze jumped high, caught the ball in the air, and completed a powerful two-handed dunk.

The explosive dunk instantly ignited the Lakers' home court, 19 to 26!

...

...

The Lakers then used the same tactic twice in a row.

The second time, Lao Yu didn't pass the ball well, and it was a little crooked, but Zhou Ze took advantage of the height of his head over the basket and saved the ball with one arm in the air. He stretched his arm straight and completed another slam dunk with a "boom".

After seeing Zhou Ze's dunk, Old Fish said to Darko Milicic, "See, big guy? If you could have jumped so high just now, you wouldn't have wasted my assist."

Darko Milicic suddenly smiled.

This is not a mockery.

But laugh from the heart.

It is my honor that someone compares me with Zhou Ze.

The third time, Jamal Magloire noticed it and immediately let go of Darko Milicic, who was coming off the bench tonight, and returned to the basket. Zhou Ze received the ball, but found his offensive route blocked by the opponent, so he immediately passed it to Darko Milicic, who caught the ball in the high post and shot it in.

"This is the Princeton tactical system..." Nate McMillan immediately recognized the tactic.

On the court, Zach Randolph caught the ball in the low post and singled out Zhou Ze. Looking at Odom, who wanted to come over to help, Randolph said with a sly grin, "Zhou, it seems your teammates are very worried about your defense."

"Shut up, you fat bastard who can't dunk!" Zhou Ze also responded with trash talk.

Randolph faced the basket and suddenly turned to the right, turned around and shot a fadeaway jump shot, catching Zhou Ze off guard.

Lan Doufu, who was bumped by Zhou Ze, also fell to the ground.

"drop!"

Zhou Ze jumped up a little late and failed to control his body well, and was hit by Randolph with a 2+1.

After falling to the ground, Randolph stretched out his right hand towards Zhou Ze.

Help or not?

Zhou Ze didn't think much about it and reached out to help him up.

After getting up, Randolph patted Zhou Ze on the back and said, "Zhou, you bastard almost killed me!"

Zhou Ze also touched Randolph's butt and said, "Dude, your butt is even more perky than Kardashian's, and it has a good cushioning effect. How could anything happen to you?"

In the NBA, Zhou Ze is actually not very popular among players from other teams.

After all, when it comes to talking, he's an enhanced version of Larry Bird.

But some troublesome players, such as Zach Randolph, although they are fierce in their criticism on the court, they still have a good relationship with each other.
