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

Zhou Ze smiled.

This guy really has a bad memory, as if he has forgotten the pain once the wound has healed.

But then again, Josh Smith's athletic talent is indeed strong. Apart from his strength, he is only slightly inferior to me in other aspects.

The Eagles came back with some points in the third quarter.

88:72.

Theoretically, a 15-point difference does have the possibility of a reversal.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Lakers replaced four starters and Luke Walton as a substitute.

Everybody has their hot streak, let alone NBA players. Tonight, Luke Walton shot 3 for 2 from three-point range.

Although he was not a stable and reliable space point in previous games, he definitely was in today's game.

The Lakers' starting lineup in the final quarter was the death five, with Zhou Ze once again moving up to the team's No. 5 position.

The Hawks asked Pachulia to defend Zhou Ze.

The Lakers responded immediately.

Zhou Ze launched attacks from outside the three-point line three times in a row.

The first time, after Zhou Ze received the pass from Old Fish, he faced Pachulia who was not close to him and made a three-pointer.

The second time, Zhou Ze ran back without the ball and cut directly to the basket. Josh Smith came to defend, and Old Fish made a diagonal pass to Odom in the corner. The latter received the ball and made a three-pointer.

The third time, Kobe stole the ball from Tyronn Lue in the midfield and passed the ball to Zhou Ze. After the latter dribbled to the top of the arc, facing Pachulia who was coming up, Zhou Ze controlled his body and took a hesitant step. Pachulia tried to steal the ball, and Zhou Ze immediately made a "Durant-style change of direction". With a "bang", the huge change of direction made Pachulia shake like a wooden stake. After Zhou Ze got to the basket, facing the help defense of Josh Smith, he passed the ball and jumped up to finish with a slam dunk.

Pachulia easily defeated his opponent, once again demonstrating Zhou Ze's economical and practical "indiscriminate singles" ability.

Facing the clumsy and slow-footed Pachulia, Zhou Ze adopted a face-to-face attack.

By the way, although Pachulia kept making small moves when facing Byram, he was still very honest and well-behaved when facing Zhou Ze.

There weren't any major fouls.

...

...

The score difference was instantly widened to 20 points, 95 to 75!

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Eagles coach immediately requested a timeout.

After the timeout, the Hawks still let Josh Smith defend Zhou Ze, but in order to prevent Josh Smith from being rebounded, they still instructed other players to be prepared to box out.

Simply put, when Zhou Ze shoots, Pachulia will retreat to the basket and block Zhou Ze as soon as possible.

It is naturally difficult to jump after being pushed up by someone.

"Zhou, I won't... let you grab the rebound." Josh Smith seemed to be shouting at Zhou Ze, but in fact he was cheering himself up.

"Okay, good luck." Zhou Ze said with a smile.

After regaining his confidence, Josh Smith really worked hard on the defensive end.

Zhou Ze could clearly feel the strong defensive force behind him.

However, what Josh Smith didn't know was that Zhou Ze liked his opponents to resist. The more fiercely you resisted, the more excited Zhou Ze would get.

Josh Smith took a lunge stance, his whole body like a bent bow, standing behind Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze was not polite and dug hard...

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

After two consecutive steps of back-to-the-basket shooting, he pushed the ball to the basket. Zhou Ze used his right foot as the axis to drive his body to rotate. His strong arms hit Josh Smith's body like an iron gate. "Bang!" There was a collision sound between the muscles. At the same time, after his left foot landed, he immediately pushed off the ground and leaned back again.

The fans at the Hawks' home court couldn't help but see Josh Smith, who they had high hopes for, being pushed back half a step. Zhou Ze used this force to leap up, stretch his arms, and make a layup.

After scoring the goal, Kobe nodded with great satisfaction.

Although this low-post attack was not smooth enough and the connection between the movements was a bit stuck, the technical essentials were in place. Josh Smith, who had previously been able to interfere with Zhou Ze's finishing with his athletic talent, now seemed to have his feet glued to 502 and could not jump at all.

...

...

Low-post singles consumes a lot of physical energy, and Zhou Ze can't always hit him, but he can do it from time to time, which once again breaks Josh Smith's mentality.

After another back-to-the-basket shot, Zhou Ze turned around and shot hard. Josh Smith, who was pushed back, had no chance to make up for the defense and interfere.

At this moment, he saw the basketball bouncing on the rim and couldn't help but jump forward.

Josh Smith, who was in mid-air, saw the basketball bounce off the basket again and fall right into the basket.

"Fuck!" Josh Smith couldn't help but swear.

After scoring the goal, Zhou Ze said to Josh Smith with a smile on his face: "Hey, man, you are indeed a man of your word."

Josh Smith, who didn't react, looked at Zhou Ze with confusion.

"You did make me lose a lot of offensive rebounds in this quarter." Zhou Ze reminded with a smile.

Josh Smith gritted his teeth, but didn't know how to refute.

In this quarter, Zhou Ze played single-handedly in the low post 4 times, and only missed once. But the annoying thing was that Zhou Ze grabbed the offensive rebound that time.

...

...

As the center outside the death five, the Hawks also tried to punish Zhou Ze.

But Pachulia doesn't have that ability...

After 4 attempts, he failed to score once, and Zhou Ze easily got the defensive rebound.

It was another Lakers offense-defense transition. Zhou Ze protected the defensive rebound. This time he did not choose to advance with the ball himself, but passed the ball to Kobe.

The reason is very simple, Kobe has a better chance.

After catching the ball, Kobe headed towards the basket, instantly attracting a double-team. Noticing Zhou Ze behind him, Kobe didn't force his way in. Instead, he passed the ball to Zhou Ze, looking back at the moon. Zhou Ze caught the ball, swiftly executed a three-pointer against Tyronn Lue's blinding defense. With a swish, he sunk it.

109 is better than 84!

This goal widened the gap to 25 points.

At the same time, Zhou Ze's personal score tonight also reached 36 points.

Completed the milestone of 3000 career regular season points.

At the same time, he is also the second youngest 3000-point player in NBA history.

...

...

Because it was an away game, Zen Master Phil Jackson did not deliberately request a timeout.

After all, the Eagles' home fans won't cheer him on.

"When did this kid's scoring explosiveness become so terrifying?" The Hawks' head coach "Mike Woodson" on the bench looked at Zhou Ze, who scored 16 points in a single quarter, in a daze.

Zhou Ze scored 20 points in the first three quarters, and he scored 16 points in the fourth quarter...

No, to be precise, there are still 3 minutes left until the end of the fourth quarter.

This scoring explosiveness has already reached the level of Djokovic.

As the team's inside player, it is difficult to score points continuously and efficiently. Even players as strong as Olajuwon and O'Neal find it difficult.

This is the label of "super outside scorer".

But Zhou Ze is different from ordinary inside players. He can play one-on-one in the inside and shoot from the outside.

Compared with last season, Zhou Ze now seems to have the advantage of mismatch no matter who he plays against.

Although the offensive means are still not diverse enough, various problems still exist.

But his indiscriminate singles play has already taken shape.

What makes Mike Woodson even more terrified is that even though Zhou Ze has obvious technical shortcomings, both his personal player data and his influence on the game are already at the real All-Star level.

"Wow..."

"Zhou, he scored again."

"Man, let me see his player statistics, OMG, I can't believe it!"

“It’s really unbelievable!”

“40分20篮板2盖帽3抢断6助攻！”

"After so many years, someone in the NBA finally scored 40 points and 20 rebounds."
