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

After returning to the bench, Zhou Ze was highly praised by the coaching staff and teammates.

Even Kobe Bryant praised him: "Zhou, the defense is very good."

Although Zhou Ze allowed Chris Webber to score 6 points, his shooting percentage was extremely low. In addition, he also contributed 3 valuable steals.

You know, the Lakers' positional play tonight was constipated.

These three steals are equivalent to three fast breaks.

Although Zhou Ze once reached the basket, received the pass from his teammate, and was about to dunk, he was blocked by Iguodala who was chasing him from behind.

But it was precisely because of these fast break opportunities that the Lakers were able to overtake the score.

Los Angeles Lakers (69) vs. Philadelphia 76ers (62), halfway through the third quarter, there were only so few points, which shows how tough the game tonight was.

"Zhou, you have such poor physical strength, yet you still follow others and go to nightclubs." Kobe looked at Zhou Ze who was on the bench, gasping for breath and unable to calm down, and could not help but blame him.

Zhou Ze was suddenly speechless.

"You should work on your physical fitness. You are so weak at such a young age." Kobe mocked again.

Zhou Ze, feeling guilty, could only mutter, "My stamina isn't bad among rookies. Do you really think everyone has stamina like you?"

Make sense.

Zhou Ze's words were not really an excuse.

Zhou Ze's physical fitness is really not bad among rookies. In addition, Zhou Ze is facing Chris Webber, who, although past his peak, can still get 20+10.

Zhou Ze was affected by his physical strength and was not substituted by the Zen Master until the decisive moment of the fourth quarter.

The moment of decisive battle.

Kobe, who had been shooting poorly the entire game, finally found his touch.

He had a fierce competition with Iverson, who is also a physical monster.

Zhou Ze, who still felt a little weak in the legs, played more of a role of space point and feint on the court.

In the last 4 minutes, although Zhou Ze became a spectator on the court, he also had a highlight moment when he suddenly double-teamed Iguodala with Kobe and made a key steal.

"drop!"

As the referee blew the final whistle, the score was frozen at:

Los Angeles Lakers (91): Philadelphia 76ers (86)

The Lakers won the game with a difficult score of 5 points.

...

...

Player scoring.

Los Angeles Lakers

科比27投9中，三分球2投0中，罚球6中4，拿到全场第二高的22分，外加1抢断6篮板的数据。

周泽19投6中，三分球11中3，0罚球，拿到全队第三高的15分，外加5抢断10篮板5助攻的两双数据。除了盖帽毫无建树外，其他4项基础数据皆超过了5。

Philadelphia 76ers

Allen Iverson shot 23-of-10 from the field, 5-of-2 from three-point range, and 16-of-12 from the free throw line, finishing with 34 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block. He led the team in scoring, and despite being the shortest player in the game, he even blocked one more shot than Zhou Ze, who stood 206cm barefoot.

Chris Webber made 19 of 6 shots and 4 of 4 free throws, scoring 16 points, but only had 4 rebounds and 1 block.

Andre Iguodala made 3 of 2 shots and 2 of 1 free throws, scoring 5 points, 3 assists, 2 blocks and 2 steals. Although his statistics were mediocre, one of them was the highest in the game, that is, 47 minutes of playing time. Iguodala played almost the entire game.

His physical strength is so terrifying.

By the way, Iguodala was at the basket twice, facing Zhou Ze's mismatched attacks, and he successfully defended both times.

This matter is bound to be criticized by the media after the game!!!

The system has been strengthened to [bullet speed], and the bullet speed has been increased to 79 (115).

Zhou Ze had two dunks at the basket tonight. Because of the increased bounce speed, he completed the dunks before the opponent's help defense arrived.

Of course, another reason is that the Philadelphia 76ers' center is too mediocre.

His athletic ability and defensive awareness are average.

There are indeed many areas where Zhou Ze needs to improve, but at the current stage, it is better to magnify his strengths rather than make up for his shortcomings.

For example, the finishing method after running without the ball and cutting inside.

The Lakers' next game is against the Memphis Grizzlies.

The future Gasol is currently the leader of this team.

In addition to Gasol, the Grizzlies' starting guard Eddie Jones is Kobe's former big brother. When Kobe first entered the league, he served as Eddie Jones's substitute.

The two had a good relationship. As Kobe grew wildly, he gradually replaced Eddie Jones. Sadly, Eddie Jones was traded from the Lakers to the Hornets in the 98-99 season and never won a championship in his career.

In his prime, Eddie Jones was a defensive stalwart in the league. Many media believed that Eddie Jones's defensive ability was not inferior to Artest's, but now that Eddie Jones is nearing the end of his career, he has transformed into a shooter.

Before the game, Kobe Bryant did not forget to exchange greetings with Eddie Jones, while Zhou Ze was looking at Pau Gasol in his "handsome period".

"What long arms!" Zhou Ze couldn't help but sigh.

The one responsible for defending Kobe tonight is Sean Battier, the core of the team before Gasol, a player with extremely high EQ and IQ, and a master of blind defense.

Shane Battier did a good job defending Kobe in tonight's game, shooting 18-for-7 from the field and 4-for-4 from the free throw line. Those shot attempts were very un-Kobe-like. And that's what makes Battier so great: he diligently and cleanly defended Kobe without provoking him, a bit like simmering the Black Mamba.

Zhou Ze's three-point shooting improved tonight, making 7 of 3 three-pointers and 11 of 6 overall, but he was awarded 2 free throws.

Well...

Zhou Ze, whose free throw attribute was only 60, made 2 of 1 free throws.

This scene made the coaching team frown. You are so accurate in three-point shooting, but so bad at free throws. How can this be unreasonable?

Zhou Ze's number of shots was the fewest since the start of the new season. It's not that his teammates didn't want to pass the ball, but it was difficult to pass the ball.

Eddie Jones specifically watches the passing lanes.

Gasol has a long arm span, and if Zhou Ze doesn't keep enough distance, he can easily be hit by his long arms.

besides...

Pau Gasol was quite fast during this period.

Compared with the Lakers who are in average form, the Grizzlies have a bit of a nationalist feel.

Pau Gasol's central axis provides support and drives the team's offense.

He leaned his back against Zhou Ze and threw a straight-arm hook shot, leaving Zhou Ze staring blankly.

In the end, the Memphis Grizzlies handed the Lakers their first loss of the season.

The last game of the week is the Los Angeles derby.

Although the two teams are playing in the same stadium, the Lakers are the home team tonight.

科比今晚杀疯了，35投12中，罚球12中11，拿到了36分4篮板5助攻。

But unfortunately lost the game.

The inside twin tower combination of Captain Elton Brand and Chris Kaman broke down the Lakers' inside line.

Facing Brand who was in his prime, Zhou Ze was not only helpless on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end. As the No. 1 draft pick, Brand had a solid physique and excellent athletic ability. Zhou Ze, who lacked explosive power, found it difficult to completely get rid of Brand through short-distance running.

What's more, Brand also has a huge armspan.

The worst thing was that the Clippers broke their rebounds.

The inside twin towers of Kaman and Brand got 24 rebounds.

Zhou Ze, Andrew Byram and Kwame Brown grabbed a total of 23 rebounds, of which Zhou Ze only had 3.

After getting double-digit rebounds against the Philadelphia 76ers, Zhou Ze's rebounding ability was reduced to its original state.

The whole game is over.

Clippers (101) vs Lakers (94), won the game.

周泽今晚三分球7中1，仅仅拿到9分3篮板3助攻1抢断。

No matter how accurate a shooter is, even as strong as Golden State's LaVine, it is impossible for him to be accurate for a whole season. There will be times when his pockets are full.

But Zhou Ze's situation is a little different...

The opponent seemed to be familiar with his running pattern and could always judge more accurately whether Zhou Ze wanted to shoot a three-pointer from outside or cut inside.

This is what fans call the "Rookie Wall."
