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

After the successful dunk, Zhou Ze raised his strong biceps expressionlessly and took a domineering step without recognizing anyone.

There was jubilation on the Lakers bench, and except for Vujacic, all other teammates threw in the towel.

But on the court, Josh Smith, who was dunked over by Zhou Ze, was complaining to the referee that Zhou Ze had just swung his elbow.

The referee ignored Josh Smith.

However, after completing the dunk, Zhou Ze's breathing became rapid while returning to defense.

The dunk just now was very powerful, and it’s the fourth quarter now.

Zhou Ze has played for 26 minutes in the first three quarters.

This made Zhou Ze's already limited physical strength even more insufficient.

In the next dead ball round, Zen Master Phil Jackson replaced Zhou Ze.

After this substitution, Zhou Ze never played again.

Thanks to Kobe's performance, the Lakers have maintained a double-digit advantage.

...

...

The whole game is over.

118vs100!

The Lakers defeated the Hawks by 18 points.

Kobe Bryant scored 37 points, 5 rebounds, 4 steals and 4 assists. This season is the second season for the Big Shaq in the East, after leaving the Lakers. Kobe, who missed the playoffs last season, is eager to prove his ability to lead the team.

His morale is extremely high, his physical condition is at its peak, and his personal skills are close to their peak. In addition, his rookie season has just started, so his own energy consumption is not great.

This makes Kobe look like a killing god in every game.

周泽拿到了21分4篮板2助攻1抢断，其中三分球10投3中，命中率只有30%，是进入NBA以来最低。

But to be fair...

Zhou Ze's three-point shooting tonight was not bad, it was at a normal level, but the Hawks paid more attention to the defensive end, which caused the hit rate to drop significantly.

...

...

[Ding, post-match rewards are being calculated...]

[Post-match reward: 99 peak points]

Peak Value: 108/1508

Well...

200 peak points are required for random draw.

After this game, Zhou Ze still couldn't conduct a random draw.

The only hope of reaching the peak value is to place the hope on the selection of the best rookie of the week.

But honestly...

Zhou Ze didn't have much hope for this.

The point guard twins of the same rookie class are all in the West.

Unlike Zhou Ze, Deron Williams and Chris Paul are both the cornerstones of the team.

Zhou Ze is just a piece of the team's rebuilding puzzle, at most an important piece.

In addition, whether it is the selection of Rookie of the Week or Rookie of the Year, the team's record only accounts for a negligible part.

...

...

After the game.

Josh Smith, who scored 8 points and 6 rebounds, openly attacked Zhou Ze in the face during an interview with reporters.

"Dunk?"

"I was dunked on by him?"

"It was clearly a foul by him, but the referee just didn't see it."

Josh Smith was still upset after being dunked over by Zhou Ze.

"A week into the new season has passed. Who do you think is the best rookie in the league and who will win the Western Conference Rookie of the Week?" another reporter asked.

"Chris Paul or Deron Williams, of course, I personally prefer Chris Paul. He averages 16+8 per game, and his arrival has also brought about earth-shaking changes in the overall strength of the team." Josh Smith said.

"What about this week... He averaged 20+ points per game in the past week, ranking first among all rookies in scoring," said the reporter.

"week?"

"There's a huge amount of water in his data."

"He was just lucky to play with Kobe."

Josh Smith said disdainfully.

...

...

The next day.

Cold Minnesota.

After training, Zhou Ze returned to the team hotel and looked at Josh Smith who was torturing him repeatedly on the computer.

He immediately stood up, turned off the TV, and went to the basketball court in the yard to practice three-point shooting.

The selection of NBA Eastern and Western Conference Rookie of the Week and Player of the Week was also announced today.

Zhou Ze only managed to get a nomination for Western Conference Rookie of the Week, which was won by Chris Paul.

东部周最佳新秀则是无眉大侠——查理-维兰纽瓦，场均能够拿到13分7篮板1助攻1篮板1盖帽。

Although Zhou Ze averaged 20+ points per game...

But he is indeed not the core of the team, and he is probably not even the second or third core.

"Eh..."

"05 is generally considered a weak year for the draft, but as a time traveler, I couldn't even get Rookie of the Week. It's quite embarrassing."

Zhou Ze couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Of course, thanks to his performance in the past week's games, Zhou Ze's popularity and exposure have increased significantly.

Especially in this week's top ten plays, Zhou Ze's hard dunk over Josh Smith under the basket ranked fifth in the top ten plays of the week.

However, there are no eggs...

This does not bring any peak value to Zhou Ze.

However, this traffic has rapidly increased Zhou Ze's commercial value.

A local toy company in Los Angeles took the initiative to find Zhou Ze's agency team, hoping to sign a commercial endorsement contract with Zhou Ze.

However, the specific content of the contract is still under negotiation.

...

...

on the other hand.

The next day.

The Lakers started their second game on the road.

The opponent is the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Although the roar of the Wolf King can still be often heard at the Timberwolves' home court, they are no longer the team that could reach the Western Conference Finals in the 03-04 season.

The Timberwolves didn't even make the playoffs last season.

The Timberwolves' record after the start of this season is also mediocre, with 2 wins and 2 losses.

On the court, accompanied by a loud slam, Kwame Brown's close-range hook shot was directly blocked by Garnett and flew into the audience.

"If you want to score against me, you're fifty years too early!" Garnett, who had finished swatting the fly, shouted ferociously at Kwame Brown.

Faced with the aggressive Kevin Garnett, Kwame Brown felt inexplicably intimidated and even dared not look Garnett in the eye.

Zhou Ze, who was partnering with Kwame Brown to form a twin tower inside tonight, immediately came to the bust No. 1 draft pick, protected him behind him, and yelled at Garnett: "Shut up, KG!"

"Look up and see the score."

Although the first quarter was not even halfway through, the Lakers had already taken a 14:6 lead.
