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

Iverson, who is still in his prime, relied on the league's top-0 speed to pass the first line of defense and rushed to the basket at full speed. Neither Zhou Ze nor tonight's starting inside partner, Chris Mihm, could stop him.

His defensive movements are always a beat late, really like a big fool.

Iverson's layup rhythm control is extremely skillful.

The sudden jump and layup was like lightning, passing through the defender's blockade.

There is also the angle of the shot.

The Lakers' outside players were unable to stop Iverson's breakthrough. Although Smush Parker tried his best to defend, he still couldn't limit the "answer" on the basketball court.

Iverson and Kobe, the two most outstanding players of the 96 golden generation, are always compared by fans.

The confrontation between the two is always tit-for-tat.

But Kobe's shooting was poor tonight, making only 9 of 2 shots in the first quarter, including 2 of 0 three-pointers, and he only scored 4 points in the quarter.

The same was true for Zhou Ze. After breaking the NBA regular season half-time three-point record in the previous game, it was as if his shooting bag was stolen by "aliens" in this game. He only got 3 points and 1 rebound, and made 4 of 1 three-pointers.

Of course, in addition to Zhou Ze's poor three-point shooting touch, Chris Webber, who was defending him, was also watching him very closely.

Chris Webber was traded to the Philadelphia 76ers by the Kings last season. After a serious injury, he had long since retired from the league's top four forwards. In the 03-04 Western Conference semifinals, he was even beaten by Kevin Garnett.

But a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Last season, he still averaged 19.5 points and 9.1 rebounds per game.

This season he even achieved 20+10 points, which can be regarded as a second spring.

In contrast, Iverson made 8 of 4 shots and 5 of 4 free throws in the first quarter, scoring 12 points in a single quarter.

克里斯-韦伯，4中2，罚球2中2，拿到了6分3篮板。

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers were 21 points behind the Philadelphia 26ers, 76 to 5.

...

...

After the start of the second quarter, Kobe, who was under tight defense, still couldn't regain his touch.

"Bang!"

After another beautiful missed shot, Kobe gritted his teeth and was about to return to defense when he saw Zhou Ze grab the offensive rebound over Chris Webber's head.

In his prime, Chris Webber possessed excellent athletic ability, fast jumping speed, and top-tier rebounding ability at the No. 4 position. He also had an accurate mid-range shot and was an excellent passer.

But after suffering a serious injury, Webber's athletic ability has declined significantly. In addition, Webber's playing style is inherently soft.

Although Zhou Ze is jokingly called a "soft inside player" by fans, Zhou Ze's softness is completely different from Webber's.

Zhou Ze is very tough on the rebounding end and on the defensive end, but he just likes shooting three-pointers a little bit.

When the rebound landed right in Zhou Ze's area, Zhou Ze's arm touched Webber, causing Webber to miss the best opportunity to jump.

"Snap!" Zhou Ze's big hands were like iron pliers. After landing, he tightly grasped the basketball and threw it to Kobe with one hand. Chris Webber immediately flew over and tried to interfere with the pass.

Kobe was also ready to receive the ball.

The next moment, the fans at the scene couldn't help but exclaimed "Wow!" Weber missed the ball. Zhou Ze didn't pass the ball. It was just a fake move. At the same time, while Weber was rushing out, his body was difficult to retract, leaving a large space in front of him.

Zhou Ze jumped up quickly, and with a "bang!", he slammed the basketball into the basket with both hands. Almost at the same time, an arm passed over the basket.

The arm belonged to Philadelphia 76ers center Steven Hunter, who was 213cm tall and weighed 100kg. He came to provide backup defense, but was a little slow, and Zhou Ze got there first and dunked the ball into the basket.

...

TNT live broadcast room.

"Haha, Zhou, this little guy's fake moves and ability to read defense have improved rapidly recently." Charles Barkley laughed.

"What surprised me most was that Zhou once again ignored Kobe's request for the ball. Of course, his offensive choice this time was very smart," Kenny Smith said approvingly.

On the court, Webber was fooled by the rookie Zhou Ze's fake moves and dunked right under his nose. In the next round, he wanted to single out Zhou Ze in the low post.

Weber is 206cm tall, weighs 111kg, and has a wingspan of 222cm. His static talent is half a level higher than Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze didn't want to let Weber get his wish, so he pushed Weber away from the basket as much as possible.

This made it difficult for Webber to stand firm in the low post, and his feet were like rootless duckweed.

"Fuck, this rookie is only 2kg heavier than me, but he's so strong." Webber couldn't help but feel like he was backing down Karl Malone.

To be honest, Chris Webber did not have the first information about Zhou Ze.

When he first entered the league, he was indeed only 113kg, 2kg heavier than Webber, but it is not known whether it was because he received more scientific training after entering the NBA, or because his arm span increased by 2cm, Zhou Ze's current weight has reached 113.5kg.

Compared to the audition, I gained 1.5kg.

Weber forced the ball, but the position of the catch was relatively far outside.

After catching the ball, he shook his shoulders realistically, moved his right foot, and suddenly turned his back. Just as he was about to turn around, a "snap" sounded.

The basketball in Webber's hand fell, and Zhou Ze ran quickly towards the uncontrolled basketball.

"OMG!"

"What fast hand speed!"

"This chip shot is like a beheading, steady, accurate and ruthless."

Kenny Smith in the TNT live broadcast room couldn't help but exclaimed.

Although Chris Webber is past his prime, he was easily intercepted by a rookie who is not good at defense.

"Old guy Chris underestimated Zhou. He wanted to turn around without his feet firmly on the ground. He was too presumptuous." Charles Barkley saw the problem at a glance.

Chris Webber, who was being defended by Zhou Ze, found it difficult to complete a smooth movement, resulting in a slow turn. In addition, when turning around to confront Zhou Ze, Chris Webber, who tried to use his arms to push away Zhou Ze, was bounced back instead, causing the basketball to be completely exposed.

Zhou Ze seized the opportunity and made a steal.

Barkley analyzed the details of Zhou Ze's cut.

soon.

After Barkley saw Kobe miss the shot, Zhou Ze jumped up with his body almost touching Webber and once again grabbed the offensive rebound over Webber's head.

Barkley looked at his old partner in surprise: "Dear Mr. Kenny, I wonder if my eyes are blurry."

"Ah!?" Kenny Smith looked at his funny teammate with a smile.

"I noticed that Zhou's jumping speed has not only increased, but his arm span seems to have also grown a bit." Barkley widened his eyes and looked at Zhou Ze on the screen.

"Dear Sir Charles, you really need a good pair of glasses," Kenny Smith couldn't help but teasing.
