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

Game 3 was played at the Denver Nuggets' home court.

The day before the game, the Los Angeles Lakers arrived at their hotel in Denver to adapt to the plateau climate in advance.

Nuggets fans are extremely enthusiastic.

Hundreds of local fans gathered outside the hotel.

"Zhou, MVP!"

"Zhou, MVP!"

"Zhou, the real king of Los Angeles!"

"Zhou, the real king of Los Angeles!"

Zhou Ze in the hotel room heard it clearly.

Well...

This seems to be becoming an "old tradition".

Opponents in the playoffs all like to use divisive tactics against the Lakers.

I hope the disintegration of the OK combination can happen again.

Zhou Ze, the "victim," looked out the window at the fans in the stands and shook his head, saying, "These idiots, why are they just shouting with their voices and not using a loudspeaker?"

The other protagonist of this incident, Kobe Bryant, was disdainful of such tricks.

...

...

The starting lineups for G3 and G2 were the same, but the difference was that Zhou Ze started strong in the low post and demanded the ball.

Nene, who was defending Zhou Ze, was turned around and crushed by Zhou Ze's hurricane-like elbow. Marcus Camby, who was attacking the weak side, didn't even have time to assist in defense and could only foul to disrupt the game.

"Good protection, my ATM!" said Zhou Ze.

"WTF!" Camby, who was hit right in the face by Zhou Ze, suddenly widened his eyes and was filled with anger.

Seeing this, Zhou Ze quickly apologized like a gentleman and explained, "Sorry, that's not what I meant. When I said ATM, I really meant that you can't defend me at all. I can score however I want, whenever I want."

"You..." Camby saw that Zhou Ze not only showed no remorse, but also mocked him even more.

However, Camby thought of Zhou Ze's apprenticeship under boxing champion Ali, took a few deep breaths of air, comforted himself, and suppressed his anger in his heart.

Then Zhou Ze made three consecutive strong drives to the basket. Nene tried his best to defend, but was wiped out by Zhou Ze's domineering elbow and turn. After the defense was wiped out, Zhou Ze had more options. According to Camby's defensive standards, if he was too close, even if Zhou Ze pushed him away in the air, his mediocre finishing touch might not be able to make a shot, not to mention that he might be blocked by Nene from behind.

Zhou Ze would jump and dunk based on Camby's defensive standards if the ball was completely open, and would force his way through the defense if the ball was slightly open. However, if Camby could make up for the defense in time, he would pass the ball to Kwame Brown.

Kwame Brown received the pass on the other side of the basket and rushed towards the basket with the ball.

With a bang, Kwame Brown received a pass from Zhou Ze under the basket and drove directly down the court, slamming home Marcus Camby, whose back was turned. The powerful impact sent Camby sprawling to the ground.

The former fake No. 1 draft pick has evolved into a "frame-rushing beast" next to Zhou Ze.

After this goal, the Lakers led by 28 points, 20 to 8.

George Karl calls a timeout.

However, the defensive arrangement after the timeout made Kobe very unhappy.

The Nuggets double-teamed Zhou Ze's post-up singles. Blake, who was defending Old Fisher, or Anthony, who was defending Kobe, double-teamed Zhou Ze after he received the ball.

In this way, the three Lakers players on the line can easily get open spaces.

The Nuggets fans' divisive tactics were to shout MVP at Zhou Ze and say that he was the king of Los Angeles. Kobe could tolerate that, but what was the meaning of you blindly double-teaming Zhou Ze?

Am I not scary?

Zhou Ze's passing ability is average.

but...

Zhou Ze understands Kobe too well and has an extraordinary tacit understanding with Kobe.

Zhou Ze received the ball with his back to the basket, Steve Blake came to double-team him, Carmelo Anthony's defense rotated to Kobe, Kobe made a back-to-back run without the ball, and instantly widened the distance. Zhou Ze passed the ball to Kobe, who received the ball and made a jump shot, 48 to 38!

Zhou Ze received the ball with his back to the basket. Anthony double-teamed him, and Zhou Ze passed it to Kobe at the top of the key. Blake rotated to Kobe's position. Zhou Ze's pass was a bit off, but who was Kobe? Peter Pan, with his competitive nature and exceptional athleticism, would have been a mistake if anyone else had caught the ball. But Kobe not only caught it, but also took one dribble and nailed a quick pull-up jumper, making it 78-65!

With 7 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Lakers held a 13-point lead.

With this shot, Kobe scored his 39th point of the game.

Zhou Ze also got his 10th assist in this game.

...

...

"drop!"

The referee whistle sounded.

Zhou Ze made a mistake in passing the ball and Iverson kicked the ball out of bounds.

This time, after Zhou Ze received the ball with his back to the basket, he saw Iverson trying to double-team him, so he immediately passed the ball. However, Iverson suddenly turned his gun around, jumped into the air, and intercepted the ball with his long arms.

That's right, this is Iverson's fake double-team.

It seemed like they were coming to double-team, but in fact they were preventing Zhou Ze from passing the ball.

Zhou Ze still lacks some experience in judging whether a double-team is real or fake.

But soon, Zhou Ze also responded in the next defensive round.

After setting a screen for Iverson, Camby wanted to go down and get the ball, but Zhou Ze appeared beside him in time. The two jumped at almost the same time, but Zhou Ze, who had a better jumping speed, came from behind and blocked the ball with a volleyball sound.

"Well done, Zhou!"

Another member of the Parallel Brothers, Darko Milicic, praised.

"Hey, man, what's there to be happy about? I just disrupted his offense but didn't get the ball."

"There's nothing to be happy about with a low-level block like this."

Zhou Ze seemed to be talking to Milicic, but in fact, when he said this, he was looking at his ATM - Marcus Camby.
