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

Game 5, player data for both teams:

Denver Nuggets

Allen Iverson, 31 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals.

Carmelo Anthony, 22 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block.

Although the Nuggets' duo scored a combined 53 points, their average shooting percentage was only 38%.

With such efficiency, even if Zhou Ze had not "awakened" his domineering elbow turn in the series, he would not have been able to surpass the Los Angeles Lakers.

However, the league's DPOY will not become Zhou Ze's "ATM".

Marcus Camby, who is tall and slender and not known for his strength, had no way to deal with Zhou Ze in the low post. He was also quite embarrassed to defend Zhou Ze's outside penetration.

Marcus Camby had 5 points and 6 rebounds in Game 6.

To be honest, Camby was just lucky tonight as three rebounds almost fell into his hands automatically.

Throughout the entire series, Marcus Camby was completely defeated by Zhou Ze and became the worst DPOY in history.

周泽：34分15篮板7助攻3盖帽1抢断，外加4犯规5失误。

The data is quite impressive, but the only drawback is the number of mistakes, including 3 times being intercepted while dribbling and 2 times being pass errors.

When Zhou Ze breaks through with the ball, especially when he is starting from a static position, he is easily intercepted by the opponent. Firstly, Zhou Ze's center of gravity when dribbling is relatively high. After all, a 208cm tall man naturally has a much higher center of gravity than a 198cm tall man. Secondly, his dribbling ability is still not good enough, and his ability to combine with the ball is not as good as this year's draft favorite Kevin Durant, who is called the "pork rib version of Zhou Ze" by the outside world.

It is mainly reflected in dribbling under confrontation. If you cannot get past the defender in the first step and your speed is not up, you will be stuck by the opponent and your dribbling will become staggering.

Starting from Game 3, when Nene became familiar with Zhou Ze's dribbling habits, the number of times he was used as a wooden stake by Zhou Ze decreased significantly, and his efficiency in stealing the ball and forcing Zhou Ze to make mistakes also increased significantly.

But the merits outweigh the flaws. Zhou Ze, who is only a second-year player, can already deliver super-giant level data.

Kobe: 28 points, 4 assists, 4 steals, 3 rebounds.

Even though Kobe only scored 28 points tonight, he only played for 30 minutes and his shooting percentage was 54%.

The four steals contributed on the defensive end were also eye-catching.

Although Kobe's 4 steals were not uncommon in previous games, they have become more frequent recently.

This has a lot to do with the fact that Zhou Ze shared most of the attacks.

In garbage time in the second half of the fourth quarter of Game 5, when Zhou Ze saw Kobe's four steals, he couldn't help but smile and prank Kobe: "Brother, your steals are so prolific right now, are you planning on competing for DPOY next year?"

"Zhou, are you serious?" Kobe asked back.

"Of course..." Zhou Ze answered without any hesitation.

The next moment, Zhou Ze was stunned.

"It's not impossible!" Kobe's eyes flashed with confidence.

"Uh..."

"My fucking... "

"I was just joking, and you actually took it seriously?"

For a moment, Zhou Ze couldn't help but sigh that his acting skills were really good.

...

After the game.

The Denver Nuggets' golden duo were quite generous and took the initiative to send their blessings to Zhou Ze.

Especially Carmelo Anthony.

After being eliminated last year, Zhou Ze gave him a sentence: "Offense may sometimes betray you, but defense will never."

Anthony listened at the time, but soon forgot it.

"Man, now I kind of understand what you said to me last year." Anthony said after hugging Zhou Ze.

"It's okay, it's not too late now." Zhou Ze said with a smile.

It's only 07 and Anthony is only 23 years old.

Iverson and Kobe, the two stars of the 96 generation, also reminisced on the court.

Iverson looked at Kobe with eyes full of envy.

Iverson is well aware that his championship window is shrinking at a visible rate, while Kobe's championship window is expanding at a blinding rate.

The future is Kobe and his team.

...

...

At this time, two media outlets conducted an on-site interview with Andrew Byram.

Although Byram was bullied badly by Zhou Ze's ATM, he got a lot of playing time and shooting rights in garbage time.

This also makes his data tonight look very good~

He played for 17 minutes and scored 10 points and 6 rebounds.

Andrew Byram calmed himself down and thought happily that the reporters would definitely praise his performance tonight.

To know...

He is only a second-year player and is younger than most first-year rookies.

But in the limited time in the playoffs, he can get 10 points and 6 rebounds.

"Andrew, what did you learn from this series?"

"Also, what did you learn from Zhou Ze, who beat Marcus Camby?"

...

...

And so on!

Byram's face suddenly darkened.

He really didn't expect that when these media reporters saw that he had obtained such "explosive" data, instead of praising him, they also wanted him to flatter Zhou Ze.

"shit!"

"Fuck!"

"These media reporters are really capable of talking nonsense..."

Byram thought to himself.

The next moment, Byram spoke up, "Zhou, he's an All-Star starter and was selected to the league's All-Defensive and All-Second Teams this year. He's already a superstar. I've learned a lot from him..."

hmm~

That's right.

Although Byram really didn't want to flatter, the agent team behind him told him that if he caused public opinion of discord within the team, the Lakers management would limit his playing time.

No way...

Whether in terms of personal ability, appearance, or traffic, he is surrounded by Zhou Ze in all aspects.

I have to flatter him.

This also ignited Byram's determination to become stronger.

If he wanted to get rid of Zhou Ze's shadow, he had to become stronger, but before that, he had to compete with the two fakes for playing time.

In other words, his goal at the current stage is not to surpass Zhou Ze, but to be the parallel import brother.

The Lakers, who are aiming for the championship, would have had very little playing time this season if Andrew Byram didn't have such great potential. After all, he's not as useful as his parallel import brothers right now!!!
