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

Players' personal data.

The Lakers' purple and gold elbows scored a combined 52 points

Because Zhou Ze was obsessed with grabbing rebounds in the first half, he only scored 24 points in the whole game, but he had 30 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 blocks, 2 steals, and 5 fouls.

5 fouls, creating a new record for Zhou Ze's single-game foul count this season. During last year's playoffs, Zhou Ze learned to "restrain" his desire to block shots in the Western Conference Finals against the Spurs.

The foul Zhou Ze committed tonight was not caused by his aggressive defensive moves or attempts to block a shot, but rather - he was fighting for a rebound.

Well...

Zhou Ze knocked Kenyon Martin and Marcus Camby to the ground several times during the game because he was too aggressive in fighting for position. It was okay once or twice, but Kenyon Martin fell down twice and Marcus Camby fell down three times, turning the basketball court into an octagonal cage.

For this reason, Zhou Ze received two fouls while fighting for rebounds.

科比今晚的手感也很是一般，仅拿到28分2篮板3助攻2抢断。不过比赛在进入第四节后，连砍8分直接打崩了丹佛掘金，以及全场55%的命中率。

As for the Denver Nuggets' golden duo, although they scored a combined 61 points, Iverson 26 points, and Melo 35 points, the two's shooting percentage was only 38%, while the purple and gold elbows had a shooting percentage of as high as 60%.

That's right, Zhou Ze's shooting percentage seems not high. He averaged 46.4% in the regular season last season. At first glance, it looks like a data brush, but in fact, Zhou Ze's three-point shots account for a high proportion, and there are many high-difficulty shots and overhead shots.

If Zhou Ze wants to improve his shooting percentage, he can do what he did tonight, focusing on rebounding in the first half and turning on the fast break mode in the second half. It is no problem for him to be Mr. 100% for a few games in a season.

But obviously, this is not the style of play that Zhou Ze likes, and it is difficult to exert his full strength with this style of play.

After the game.

The Nuggets' powerlessness against the Lakers frustrated local fans in Denver, and calls for the removal of the Golden Twins were also heard. Although both of them were top scorers in the league, their 1+1 was less than 2.

...

The Lakers' second game of the week is against the Philadelphia 76ers, Iverson's former team.

The Philadelphia 76ers have regained their momentum this season, and the team's record is currently ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference, which is much better than expected.

The team has been vigorously developing Andre Iguodala, known as "Little AI". He currently averages 18.7 points per game. Well, even with unlimited shooting rights, he still scores no more than 20 points, which means that Iguodala is not a scorer.

Iguodala is more inclined towards defense and organization, and is a natural second-in-command.

In this game, the head coach of the Philadelphia 76ers used Maurice Cheeks and the league's famous rebounding maniac, Reggie Evans, to limit Zhou Ze.

Reggie Evans' rebounding awareness, positioning, and strength were indeed exceptional. However, his athleticism was limited, and at 203cm tall, even if he managed to get in position and block Zhou Ze, the latter could still use his wingspan, speed, and jumping height to get the ball into his own airspace.

Of course, not everyone can use this method in front of Reggie Evans.

For example, Zhou Ze's teammate Lamar Odom also tried to use his height advantage and bounce to tip the rebound over Reggie Evans' head, but the moment he jumped, his whole body tilted and he couldn't straighten up.

The power confrontation between the two is not on the same level. It's like a strong man keeps scratching you, how can you jump up?

The center of the Philadelphia 76ers, Dalembert, looks very honest. Although his offensive ability is poor, his defense is really a bit like a simplified version of the African mountain. Byram's two consecutive strong attacks were blocked by the opponent.

Kobe Bryant didn't have a good touch tonight and couldn't get rid of Iguodala on the offensive end.

Seeing that the Lakers' offense was stagnant, Zhou Ze stepped forward.

He received the ball outside the three-point line, diffracted it to Reggie Evans, and made a hollow shot.

He held the ball outside the three-point line and played against Reggie Evans. After a fake start, he passed Reggie Evans in one step and rushed to the basket. Facing the help defense of Dalembert, he sent a crotch-through pass to Byram behind him. The latter scored with a double-handed dunk, which shocked the entire Philadelphia 76ers home court.

As for Zhou Ze's offense in the paint, Reggie Evans did provide plenty of resistance, limiting his elbow-swinging moves. However, Zhou Ze is no longer the reckless, brute-force player he was during last year's regular season. He can sense the opponent's center of gravity with his back, allowing him to easily bypass the defense with a sudden turn. As for Dalembert's defensive support, while he did a good job, Zhou Ze often passed the ball around the basket, assisting Shaq or the Parallel Brothers.

The Lakers gradually gained momentum through Zhou Ze's strong attack, but Iguodala, who had a keen defensive awareness, suddenly rushed out when Zhou Ze passed the ball inside and stole the ball twice in a row.

"Wow!"

"Andre Iguodala, our new hero in Philadelphia, stepped up once again."

"Once again, he completed a steal on Zhou Ze."

The Philadelphia 76ers' home commentator exclaimed.

The 76ers home fans cheered enthusiastically.

The players on the 76ers bench also stood up. Thaddeus Young, who was selected by the Philadelphia 12ers with the 76th pick in the first round of this year, and Korver, the sharpshooter who was traded for a printer by the Philadelphia 76ers, looked at Andre Iguodala running on the court, eagerly waiting for him to complete a one-stop slam dunk after a steal, just like he did 40 seconds ago.

"I think Andre Iguodala should be this year's DPOY!" Looking at Iguodala who had rushed to the top of the Lakers' three-point line, the Philadelphia home commentator shouted passionately.

DPOY?

DPOY!

this moment!

Zhou Ze, who was sprinting, seemed to have triggered a keyword. He was already very fast, and now he even left an afterimage in front of the camera.

Although Iguodala's speed is not faster than Zhou Ze's, his speed with the ball may not be as fast as Zhou Ze's speed without the ball.

Zhou Ze, who was chasing hard, jumped up the moment Iguodala jumped...

Iguodala noticed Zhou Ze behind him from the corner of his eye. He was trying to change direction and avoid Zhou Ze's block.

In a flash, with a "bang", Zhou Ze's big hand nailed Iguodala's layup directly to the backboard.

Because Zhou Ze's speed was at its maximum and he rushed too fast, he was unable to grab the rebound in mid-air.

However, the falling basketball hit Iguodala squarely and bounced out of bounds.

After blocking the shot, Zhou Ze shook his finger at the commentators who had just called Andre Iguodala DPOY, as if to tell them, "Iguodala is really no good!"
