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

"Mmm!" Zhou Ze was speechless.

But what Kobe said was right. With a barefoot height of 208cm, he could not squeeze through the pick-and-roll no matter what. If he insisted on forcing the pick-and-roll, his broad shoulders would most likely "knock over" the pick-and-roll wall, thus causing a defensive foul.

Seeing Zhou Ze suffer a rare defeat, Kobe felt inexplicably sour in his heart.

"You bastard, who made you laugh at me for not having attended college? You keep talking about calculus in front of me. What the hell is that?"

...

...

After the pause.

Jason Terry once again made a pick-and-roll with Eric Dampier, and Rajon Rondo showed his talent on the defensive end. Although he did not squeeze through in time, he also interfered with Jason Terry's three-point shot, which missed.

After Byram grabbed the defensive rebound, the Lakers quickly launched a fast break. After Rajon Rondo received the ball, he immediately passed it to Zhou Ze at the logo position, and instantly launched "Zhou Gravity" to suck Dirk Nowitzki over.

With a "whoosh", Zhou Ze quickly made a pass to Kobe who was running fast. After receiving the ball, Kobe rushed to the basket. It was a 1v2 situation. Facing Jason Terry and Josh Howard who were quickly retreating, Kobe dribbled the ball to the free throw line, suddenly stopped and hesitated, and the basketball seemed to be suspended in mid-air. In an instant, this made Terry and Josh who were retreating unable to defend be at a loss. With a "whoosh", Kobe made another jump shot after a quick stop.

"Hiss..." Mavericks owner Mark Cuban couldn't help but gasp after seeing Kobe score again.

His left eyelid was twitching wildly, as if it were a sign of impending disaster.

...

...

This timeout did not cool down Kobe's touch. On the contrary, it made the shooting touch of the Mavericks players decline.

With a bang, Dirk Nowitzki faced up to Zhou Ze and, though he had gained some space, his shot was a miss. The Lakers repeated their fast break, with Zhou Ze receiving the ball at the logo. He unleashed another powerful pass to Kobe, who again hesitated laterally. This time, however, Kobe forced his way to the basket, dodging Josh Howard mid-air and sinking a layup to make it 29-19.

The Lakers' lead reached 10 points.

"Dear Sir Charles, it seems that you really can't be a prophet." Kenny Smith laughed in the TNT live broadcast room.

"Oh no! Looks like I only guessed the beginning, but not the end... The big fight the fans wanted to see didn't happen. Instead, the current game situation is like Kobe single-handedly slaughtering a bull!"

"Of course, Zhou tonight also fully demonstrated his talent in passing... The Lakers' fast break and the Suns' run-and-gun style seem somewhat similar."

Barkley, who is Zhou Ze's fan, praises Zhou Ze without limit.

But to be honest, Barkley wasn't talking nonsense.

Tonight, Zhou Ze acted as the modern Rodman in the positional battle.

But in the fast break, Zhou Ze used his logo-shoot to pin Dirk Nowitzki to his side, so that Kobe, who was running fast, would not encounter the tall inside player.

This is completely different from the role Zhou Ze usually plays in fast breaks.

Of course, if the timing is right, Zhou Ze will also deliver an alley-oop dunk.

Devin Harris forced his way to the basket, but was blocked by Byram's help defense. After missing his layup, Zhou Ze grabbed the defensive rebound and passed the ball to Rondo. Rondo quickly passed the ball, and the basketball bounced out from under Dirk Nowitzki's crotch and was passed to Kobe.

After being double-teamed, Kobe did not force the ball this time, but passed it to Zhou Ze who was following behind him. The latter received the ball, jumped high with a "boom", and the basket made a loud bang.

"drop!"

The referee's whistle then sounded.

At the same time, Jason Terry and Josh Howard, who were participating in the defense, were all "sitting" under the basket at this moment, looking up at Zhou Ze with his hands hanging on the basket, 48 to 36!

With 7 minutes and 11 seconds left in the second quarter, the Lakers were already leading the Mavericks by 12 points.

Even though Zhou Ze's violent dunk was very exciting, it was overshadowed by Kobe's brilliance tonight.

And it’s completely covered up!!!

...

...

"OMG!"

"Kobe has gone completely crazy."

"After receiving the ball at the half-back position, facing Josh Howard's defense, he didn't even touch the ball, but directly pulled up and shot it."

"Kobe hit the last shot before halftime, bringing his personal score to 39 points."

"39 points in the first half!"

"Wow, this is unbelievable. Is he going to score 80+ tonight?"

At the end of the first half, the Lakers led the Dallas Mavericks by 65 points, 41-14.

As the game entered the third quarter, the Mavericks adopted various defensive methods to defend against Kobe, who was in hot form.

But Kobe's touch continues...

Facing the double-team of the Mavericks, Kobe did not choose to pass the ball. Instead, at the moment before the double-team was officially formed, he turned around and then threw the basketball out with his left hand, and it hit the target!!!

80 to 52, Kobe scored 50 points alone.

Only 2 points less than the Mavericks team.

...

...

Dirk Nowitzki, the Mavericks' star player, also responded quickly. After facing the basket and forcing his way to the basket, he suddenly turned around and jumped up to block Zhou Ze, who was forced to commit a defensive foul by the opponent.

Nowitzki made 2 of 2 free throws, 80 to 54!

But then Kobe responded with an unreasonable three-pointer, 83 to 54.

Kobe's personal score reached 53 points, only 1 point less than the Mavericks' entire team score.

"My goodness!"

"It seems Kobe Bryant wasn't aiming for 81 points tonight, but 100!"

"A terrifying scoring ability..."

"Wow..."

"Kobe, he once again completed a double-team steal on Devin Harris, dribbled the ball towards the basket, and although he was caught up by the latter, he forced his way through the defense and twisted his waist to complete a reverse slam dunk!"

"Incredible..."

"Kobe has already scored 60 points..."

"There is less than a minute left until the end of the third quarter."

"Can Kobe's scoring spree continue?"

"Will Wilt Chamberlain's miracle of 100% be broken tonight by the great Mr. Kobe Bryant?"

...

...

On the court, the Lakers protected the defensive rebound that the Mavericks missed and launched another fast break. Rondo passed the ball to Zhou Ze, who made a high pass to Kobe who still had the energy to jump.

With a "boom!", Kobe received the pass in the air and blasted the ball into the basket with both hands.

The entire Dallas home stadium was like countless thunderclaps exploding.

TNT's Charles Barkley was also completely crazy at this time.

"OMG!"

"WTF!"

"Kobe scored his 62nd point tonight, and more importantly, there's still one quarter to go."

"The current score is 62 to 61!"

"Uh... sorry!"

"The 62 points I mentioned were Kobe's individual score. And the 61 points, yes, were the Dallas Mavericks' team score."

“62>>61!”

At the end of the first three quarters, the Lakers led the Dallas Mavericks by 96 points, 61 to 35.
