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

Chapter 188 New player nickname: Shark Hunter!

Zhou Ze passed Jeffries and accelerated to the basket. Marbury rushed forward with his head held high, but was knocked to the ground in an instant.

"Beep!" The referee blew the whistle, indicating a defensive foul.

But unfortunately, the basketball bounced out of the basket and did not become a 2+1.

Even though Zhou Ze has the [Fearless Terminator (Silver)] that improves his ability to force layups, it is still very difficult for him to score 2+1 after the opponent's intentional foul.

Not common.

However, Zhou Ze demonstrated his ability to advance with the ball many times in tonight's game.

This is rare in previous competitions.

At this time, the New York coach, the former smiling assassin Thomas, was also surprised.

"Has this guy improved again?"

“He can actually advance with the ball!”

This made Thomas think of the two of them involuntarily.

Charles Barkley.

Karl Malone.

Barkley was able to do this job shortly after entering the league. It was easy for him to accelerate with the ball and overtake guards on the curve.

Karl Malone was developed later, and in the early days, Karl Malone was more focused on off-ball fast breaks.

But what surprised the Smiling Assassin was that Zhou Ze had also mastered it.

You know, last year he often hit his feet while dribbling during the game.

However, although Zhou Ze can now advance the ball throughout the entire court, his "ball-holding speed" is affected by his ball control ability, making it difficult for him to give full play to his performance.

Holding the ball in the half-court and full-court are two different things. Many half-court dribbles, including all sorts of fancy moves, are prone to slipping when the full-court fast break is pushed forward. As the world's basketball arena, the NBA may not be as competitive as amateurs, but the fundamentals of ball handling are still very demanding if you want to fully accelerate on a fast break.

This shows that James's dribbling basics are quite solid.

U1S1, control of the ball is a childhood skill for James.

...

In the three overtimes against the Jazz, Zhou Ze's ability to read the game situation underwent a "transformation", not only in his dribbling rhythm, but more in his consciousness.

And the transformation and improvement are directly reflected in the fast break with the ball.

Zhou Ze grabbed the defensive rebound and immediately chose to run down the court with the ball. Although David Lee had good athletic ability, he could not keep up with Zhou Ze's speed.

Kwame Brown showed that his running and jumping ability was better than Kevin Garnett. As a power forward, Channing Frye couldn't even see Kwame Brown's guard light.

After Zhou Ze dribbled the ball to the top of the arc and outside the three-point line, looking at the 3v5 situation in the half court, Zhou Ze did not continue to accelerate to break through, but slowed down and observed first. Then, he suddenly accelerated and "sucked" Jeffries, who wanted to defend 1 people alone. Odom immediately followed and Zhou Ze made a high pass. The latter completed the air relay after receiving the ball.

...

Derek Fisher passed the ball to Zhou Ze who was running fast. Facing David Lee, a rookie from the same class who took him as a role model, Zhou Ze made a cross-dribble change of direction while moving and directly passed the opponent by half a body length. When he accelerated again, David Lee could only watch Zhou Ze leave. Zhou Ze, who rushed to the free throw line, teamed up with Kobe to form a local 2v1 against Jeffries.

Although Jeffries lacked physical fitness and skills, he had a high basketball IQ and his defensive efficiency ranked in the top 20 in the league. He chose to sink to the basket, positioned himself early, and raised his hands, hoping to use his 211cm height to affect the Lakers' fast break.

Zhou Ze passed the ball to Kobe who was running down the left. When Jeffries faced Kobe, Kobe threw the ball into the air. Jeffries, sensing something was wrong, turned around and saw Zhou Ze rising up. With a "bang", the basket made a loud bang.

Zhou Ze habitually hung on the basket, and Jeffries was also rushed by Zhou Ze and stumbled, retreating beyond the baseline.

"MVP! Zhou!"

The New York home fans couldn't help but cheer at this moment.

The New York coach smiled at the assassin and quickly requested a timeout.

41:24.

同时，凭借这一球，周泽的个人数据已经来到了13分6篮板3助攻3盖帽1抢断。

Looking at the scoreboard, the smiling assassin as the New York head coach no longer smiled.

The game was only 3 minutes and 11 seconds into the second quarter, and the Lakers were already leading by 17 points.

Hey, the Lakers are going to punch out in three quarters.

...

After the pause.

New York still replaced Eddy Curry with David Lee.

In the past period of time, using David Lee as the main inside attacker has had generally good results. He has provided assists, scored three-pointers and rebounds, but the problem is that it is difficult to change the Lakers' defensive formation.

After Eddy Curry came on the court, he faced the inside combination of Zhou Ze and Darko Milicic.

The little shark, who was blocked three times by Zhou Ze in the first quarter, saw that the Lakers were defending Zhou Ze, who was shorter than him. Last season, Zhou Ze could hardly defend him, even though he had the strength of the No. 3 position.

Eddy Curry, delighted, asked for the ball in the low post and then decided to force his attack. "Bang!", "Bang!" After two strong drives, Eddy Curry's face suddenly changed, as if he was constipated.

"I can't hold it up!"

"How could I not be able to hold it?"

"Why is this power the same as Yao Ming and Shaq?"

Eddy Curry, who didn't believe in evil, gritted his teeth and forced the shot again.

But this time, Zhou Ze quickly intercepted the ball.

Mencius said, don't be angry, anger will reduce people's wisdom.

As a flexible fat man, 134kg Eddy Curry could even do a backflip on the spot. Of course, that was his rookie season, and he certainly can't do it now.

At this moment, he was like a reckless man, forgetting his solid low-post footwork.

As the strongest man in NBA history, Zhou Ze specializes in defeating reckless men.

In the next 5 minutes, Zhou Ze made 3 steals for Eddy Curry, 2 of which were steals during back-to-back plays, and one was when Eddy Curry took advantage of the mismatch with Odom and was double-teamed by Zhou Ze, completing the pass steal.

个人数据来到19分8篮板5助攻4盖帽4抢断。

还差1抢断1盖帽，周泽又能完成1次5x5。

The Little Shark, who was entering the peak of his career, became increasingly impatient when he saw himself being blocked by his former defeated opponent. After another unsuccessful attempt to hit Zhou Ze, he actually chose to swing his elbow. Zhou Ze, who was hit in the chest, fell to the ground in pain.

The referee just called a normal defensive foul.

For this reason, Zhou Ze also gave Eddy Curry a violent elbow during a rebounding scramble. Even though Eddy Curry was wearing "fat armor", four of his ribs were broken by the elbow.

The severe pain made Eddy Curry roll on the floor.

The referee watched the replay and saw Zhou Ze's powerful elbow, so he called a flagrant foul.

Zhou Ze was ejected.

In the player tunnel, many New York fans were even cheering for Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

And this time...

The commentator said: "Well, the shark hunter is finally gone."

"Even though it was Eddy Curry who started the fight, Zhou's move was too harsh. It seems he is a real shark hunter," another commentator echoed.

Eddy Curry, nicknamed the Little Shark, was knocked down by Zhou Ze's elbow.

The Lakers' potential rookie "Andrew Byram", who also has the nickname "Little Shark", was also defeated by Zhou Ze.

But unfortunately...

In the Christmas game a few days later, the Big Shark was unable to play due to injury.
