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

70 to 58, Kobe made the free throw, narrowing the gap to 12 points.

The Grizzlies attacked, and their luck seemed to continue. Rudy Gay faced P.J. Tucker, and after getting rid of most of his body distance with his first step, he continued to break through to the basket and drove straight in. Luke Walton, who was on the left side of the basket, was entangled by Pau Gasol and could not rush out in the first time.

At the same time, on the strong side of defense, that is, the right side, Zhou Ze directly turned from the strong side to the weak side, instantly got rid of the entanglement of Jason Collins, gathered strength with his knees, bounced up, and blocked Rudy Gay's layup through PJ Tucker's long arms.

The upward trajectory of the basketball changed obviously, and it didn't even touch the basket. Instead, the basketball fell squarely into the defensive area where Pau Gasol and Luke Walton were. Pau Gasol stretched out his long arms and directly tapped the basketball into the basket with his fingers, 62 to 58!

Even more unfortunate was that Luke Walton was called for a defensive foul by the referee because of his excessive defensive action.

"Sorry, Zhou!" Luke Walton, who was scored 2+1 by Pau Gasol, said with guilt and self-blame.

Zhou Ze patted his butt and told him not to take it to heart.

Zhou Ze's large-scale transfer defense had already blocked Rudy Gay, but what he never expected was that this ball would fall directly into Gasol's hands.

There were still 4 minutes and 38 seconds left in the third quarter, which made the Lakers fans at the scene worry about whether the team could make a comeback.

Of course, Lakers fans don’t disbelieve in their purple and gold elbows, but the Grizzlies’ luck is really too good.

In the remaining time of the third quarter, Kobe, who was the first to find his touch, always scored difficult goals, but the Grizzlies always responded.

83 to 69, the Grizzlies entered the fourth quarter of the game with a 14-point lead.

...

...

At 2 minutes and 09 seconds in the fourth quarter, Kobe faced Rudy Gay's defense. After a triple threat, he broke through like a cheetah. After taking a step to the basket, he found that Pau Gasol had moved towards him. If he broke through further, he would be double-teamed. Kobe immediately made an abrupt stop, and Rudy Gay also immediately retracted his body, making a sinking and power-accumulating movement with his knees. Rudy Gay was deceived and jumped up, but the next moment, Kobe turned over and leaned back. After being fooled, Gay also jumped up quickly, and his 220cm long arms stretched out to Kobe's eyes.

With a "swish", the basketball went into the net. Guy's blindfolding defense failed, and the score was 88 to 74, still with a difference of 14 points.

On the next offensive round, the Grizzlies responded immediately.

Mike Conley and Jason Thompson set a high pick-and-roll, with explosive bounces, but Mike Conley, who doesn't like dunks, used the pick-and-roll to break through to the basket. Luke Walton was forced to defend in front of Mike Conley. Jason Thompson quickly followed suit, and Old Fish couldn't stop him at all. After receiving the ball, Jason Thompson shot high, but he didn't shoot immediately. Instead, he made a fake shot and half-turned on the spot.

If fans didn't watch the first three quarters of the game, they would definitely think that Jason Thompson was outrageous. You are 213cm tall, facing the 188cm old fish, instead of forcing the opponent head-on, you used fake moves and turned around to hook the ball.

However, the real situation at the scene was that a figure that blocked out the sun and sky flew past Jason Thompson.

That's right!

Jason Thompson, who had been blocked three times by Zhou Ze in the first three quarters, had learned his lesson. He knew Zhou Ze would come to help defend him no matter where he was. After Jason Thompson tricked Zhou Ze into jumping, he completed a post-up hook shot, making it 3-90!

The Grizzlies' offense was absolutely exceptional.

...

...

"Disaster!"

"too difficult!"

"The Grizzlies were in fantastic form today."

"Yeah, Jason Thompson actually played so smart. And his hook shot, which would have been impossible to make normally, was incredibly accurate today."

Coach Zhang and Su Qun from the Tianchao Sports Studio couldn't help but feel sorry for the depleted Lakers team.

"Kobe, give me the ball!" Zhou Ze said.

"Okay." Kobe nodded without any hesitation.

Kobe needs to stop for a while. In addition to his physical strength, the Grizzlies are double-teaming him more and more frequently.

Another player needs to step up and share the offensive pressure.

Zhou Ze's three-pointers and mid-range shots tonight were all extremely missed, and he couldn't even seize the open shots.

The Lakers on the court are using a small lineup.

Zhou Ze came to the top of the arc with the ball. He called for a pick-and-roll and prepared to execute the roll call tactic.

However, what surprised the Lakers fans at the scene, the home commentator, and the fans watching on TV was that Zhou Ze did not specifically bully Mike Conley, the shortest player on the court.

"OMG!"

"Zhou, he actually mentioned Jason Collins who was in hot form tonight."

Kenny Smith in the TNT broadcast room was both surprised and puzzled.

Jason Collins, the backup center who averaged 2.6 points per game this season, scored 14 points tonight and even hit three half-court shots. But even if you successfully target Jason Collins, if the defense switches on you and Pau Gasol doesn't move out and instead shrinks to the basket, you still won't be able to force your way to the basket, right?

You know, you made 14 of 2 three-pointers and mid-range shots tonight.

On the court, the moment Jason Collins switched defense in front of Zhou Ze, he ducked and broke through. Zhou Ze's body tilted slightly, and his left arm swung naturally to provide power for his acceleration.

Looking at Zhou Ze rushing towards his left shoulder, Jason Collins, who did not predict the direction of the breakthrough at the first time, could only dig it out, but Zhou Ze's ball protection hand and the relatively low center of gravity compared to a big man.

Jason Collins failed to steal the ball and returned empty-handed.

After passing the defense, Zhou Ze continued to accelerate. As he approached the basket, he leaped high and threw the basketball in his hand towards the basket like a cannonball. With a loud "bang", the basketball slammed into the basket, and the net was lifted high.

The Lakers' home fans also cheered.

During the entire breakthrough process, Pau Gasol also tried to move closer to the basket, but he was still a little slow and failed to block Zhou Ze.

At this moment, Pau Gasol kept thinking about what Zhou Ze said: "I'll destroy your luck as well."

In the next two rounds, Zhou Ze kept calling out Jason Collins, all of which were sudden attacks, which left Collins helpless. In the end, he could only pull Zhou Ze down by fouling him.

After Zhou Ze played for 3 rounds, Kobe took over the offense and again called on Jason Collins to play for 2 rounds.

Both rounds resulted in defensive fouls by Jason Collins.

Collins, who had 5 fouls, was directly replaced by the coach.
