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

In the TNT live broadcast room, the flying pig "Charles Barkley" also commented on Zhou Ze's low-post offense.

"Zhou has a broad frame and excellent strength, but his footwork is rough and his finishing touch is poor. Once his weight and strength are not enough to achieve a dimensional strike, it is difficult to put the ball into the basket."

"In addition, there are also big problems with his selection of offensive zones. He must first know where his sweet spot is. His post-up position should be closer to the basket."

"But what surprised me again was that Zhou had a heart that loved fighting under the basket."

Charles Barkley is nicknamed "Big Mouth" by fans because of his love for talking nonsense.

He is also known by many Chinese football fans because of the bet with Yao Ming about kissing a donkey's butt.

In the eyes of fans, Barkley is an extremely unreliable guy.

But his comments on Zhou Ze at this time were very objective and fair.

【57:47】

The first half of the game is over.

The Lakers lead the Hawks by 10 points.

Kobe made 14 of 7 shots and 4 free throws for 18 points.

至于周泽11投5中，其中3分球8投3中，拿到了13分1篮板1助攻的数据。

In terms of scoring efficiency and output, Zhou Ze can be said to be perfect, even though his touch was average tonight.

But as an inside player, he had 1 rebound and 0 free throws in the first half, and his damage to the Hawks' basket was zero. But from these two aspects, he is not worthy of being described as "failing".

However, Zhou Ze's "soft-playing style" made a player from the Hawks discover a new world.

"Zhou, that rookie scored so easily, much more smoothly than me."

"Should I increase my three-point shooting output?"

At halftime, Al Harrington made 7 of 4 shots, 2 of 0 free throws, 10 three-pointers, and scored 4 points and rebounds.

During the game, Harrington, who mainly scored from mid-range and fast breaks, was "attracted" by Zhou Ze's crazy three-point shots.

this moment!

He began to want to join the ranks of the "soft-playing style".

Of course, Zhou Ze, who was in the Lakers locker room, had no idea about Al Harrington's psychological activities, nor did he have time to figure it out.

Zhou Ze was busy fighting with his teammate Sasha Vujacic.

"WTF! Are your eyes as small as sesame seeds?"

"I had three completely open opportunities, and you saw me, but you didn't pass the ball to me."

...

...

When the Lakers rotated their lineup in the second round, Zhou Ze and Sasha Vujacic were on the court together for a while. Vujacic replaced Odom and served as the team's starting small forward.

But several times when passing the ball, Vujacic just didn't give it to Zhou Ze.

It’s okay if it happens once in a while!

But this guy treated himself as air three times.

He clearly saw himself in an open position, but he didn't pass the ball.

The last person who dared to ignore him like this was Kobe Bryant when he was in high spirits.

As a sophomore, a genius from Europe, facing the aggressive Zhou Ze, he responded unyieldingly: "I saw you missed three or four shots in a row. I thought you would cut inside, but you didn't react at all."

These words are a bit yin and yang. Zhou Ze is an inside player, but he only dares to play casually, like a wimp.

Zhou Ze became even more furious when he heard this.

Since logic doesn’t work, let’s talk about martial ethics.

Zhou Ze didn't say anything and just took action.

Although the Lakers teammates wanted to separate them, Zhou Ze broke through the encirclement in one step and came in front of Vujacic.

As a teammate, Zhou Ze didn't elbow him. Instead, he grabbed his neck and threw him to the ground. He sat on him and shouted angrily, "Do you accept it?"

Wu Jiaxiqi struggled hard, his face flushed red, but he could not break free from Zhou Ze's restraints.

"hateful..."

"This wimp who can only shoot three-pointers actually has real muscles all over his body, not just for show."

Wu Jiaxiqi, who personally felt Zhou Ze's brute force, thought in surprise.

...

...

“Stop…”

"Stop fighting..."

Teammates such as Devin George and Aaron McGee stepped forward to separate the two, thus avoiding a bigger farce.

Afterwards, Zen Master Phil Jackson severely criticized Zhou Ze.

If the outside media knew that the players had a fight in the locker room, it would definitely be widely publicized.

The Zen Master warned Zhou Ze that if he did it again, he would be banned directly.

At the same time, we must not forget to pua the defeated party, Sasha Vujacic, who was hugged by Zhou Ze and was blushing and almost unable to breathe. We are all young people. It is normal for players to have conflicts, and they need to communicate through the right way.

In addition, as one of the most exposed teams in the NBA, this matter must not be made known to the outside media, otherwise, the power of public opinion will destroy our rising team.

Although Vujacic felt aggrieved, he was not stupid. He knew very well that if he made this matter public, he would probably be ostracized by the entire team.

As a talented player from Europe, he has been the center of attention since childhood and has always had the right to bully others, but today he was bullied by a damn rookie.

...

...

In the second half of the game, Zhou Ze once again partnered with Kobe to start the game, but the player the Hawks sent to the No. 4 position was not Al Harrington, but Josh Smith, the Hawks' rookie last year.

As the future Hawks king with physical fitness close to James, Josh is 206cm tall and weighs 102kg. He is completely comparable to Zhou Ze in terms of speed and defensive flexibility.

Zhou Ze's several attempts to cut to the basket were all limited by Josh Smith. He either missed the shot or was forced to pass the ball because the opponent came from behind.

The worst time was when Zhou Ze was blocked from behind by Josh Smith during a fast break.

Zhou Ze was suppressed badly.

The only thing that made his fans feel relieved was that in the last minute of the third quarter, Zhou Ze first faked a shot from outside the three-point line, and while shooting Josh away, he rubbed against him, causing a three-point foul.

Then, in the next round, he received a pass from Byram when the offense was almost at 24, and made a strong shot despite Josh Smith's close defense.

"Fuck!"

"WTF!"

Josh Smith, who was shot in-your-face by Zhou Ze, couldn't help but swear.

In addition, he did not forget to provoke and stimulate Zhou Ze.

"Rookie, you're so lucky."

"If you hadn't committed a foul in the last minute and made a three-pointer, I would have shut you out in this quarter."

Zhou Ze's face was filled with black lines.

Obviously, his words were a recipe for death.

Although it is difficult for Zhou Ze to completely crush him on the court at the moment, it is still possible to collect some interest.

...

...

As the game entered the fourth quarter, Josh Smith narrowed the gap to single digits - 9 points - due to his relatively successful restriction of Zhou Ze in the third quarter.

Josh Smith got more playing time in the final quarter and played as the team's No. 3 position, but on the defensive end he was facing Zhou Ze at No. 4 position.

On the court, Zhou Ze cut again, and with the sudden change of rhythm, Zhou Ze took the lead by half a body length, but was soon overtaken by Josh Smith and blocked outside the basket.

Zhou Ze made a surprising decision. He chose to ask for the ball in the low post even though he had no mismatch advantage.

After making two consecutive mid-range shots, Kobe, who was about to slow down, first waved his hand to help Zhou Ze clear one side, and then passed the ball to him.

Zhou Ze, whose footwork was rough, took advantage of his size and strength... "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" He took two steps to the basket, and his first strong shot obviously knocked Josh Smith back half a step.

But the second back-to-the-basket shot didn't knock Josh Smith back much.

As for the third time, Zhou Ze couldn't push anymore.

Although Zhou Ze has the advantage of strength and tonnage, he lacks post-up skills and does not have the "skill package" of turnaround jump shots and hook shots, which means that defensive players only need to block him.

In addition, most of the powerful inside players, when facing players in the same position, or players of smaller size in the same position, can only push the opponent to the basket with the first two strong shots.

Zhou Ze, who was about to be defended, turned around and, in the referee's blind spot, raised his elbow slightly with a relatively concealed movement and hit Josh Smith's chest.

A sharp pain in his chest made Josh Smith subconsciously make way for him. Zhou Ze took advantage of the situation and with a "boom", he completed a powerful double-handed dunk.
