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

The Lakers' depleted lineup came back to defeat the Memphis Grizzlies, which undoubtedly boosted the Lakers' morale.

周泽虽然全场只拿到了38分23篮板4助攻7盖帽2抢断

But in the fourth quarter, he took 5 mid-range shots, made 4 of them, and made 5 of 3 three-pointers, scoring 24 points in a single quarter.

The scoring explosiveness shown in a single quarter made other teams feel terrified.

The good news for the Lakers doesn't stop there. In three games, Lamar Odom and Kwame Brown will be back, which will undoubtedly relieve the pressure on Zhou Ze.

Now the Lakers only have Zhou Ze and Darko Milicic in the interior, which is really not enough. If the two of them play together, there will be no tall players in the bench lineup.

At this time, the video analysts and assistant coaches of the major championship-seeking teams in the league were all analyzing Zhou Ze's current offensive methods.

If we consider the 05-06 season, which was Zhou Ze's rookie season, as version 1.0.

So now Zhou Ze in the 07-08 season has evolved to Zhou Ze 3.0 version.

San Antonio Spurs uniform staff.

After watching Zhou Ze's recent game frame by frame, an assistant coach threw up his hands and exclaimed in an exaggerated and incredulous tone, "WTF! How is this possible?"

"I've never seen a player grow his running and jumping abilities along with his technique."

"Yes, even someone as strong as Michael Jordan only perfected his mid-range shooting after his athletic ability declined. Although Michael's anti-aging ability is several dimensions stronger than other players."

The other Spurs members in the video analysis room were also extremely surprised.

Danzi has a strong hidden talent: anti-aging ability. As people age, their athletic ability declines. But some people decline more, while others decline less.

Vince Carter and LeBron James, who were both able to fly and dunk when they were young, the former's dunk at around 40 years old could be included in the top ten or even top five plays of the day.

But James still did it with ease, although his jumping and dunking power were not as strong as before.

This is anti-aging power.

For this reason, the peak period of many players does not refer to the peak of their skills, nor the peak of their physical condition, but a combination of the two.

In his previous life, when James developed a stable shooting style, his athletic ability had already declined compared to the Cavaliers 1.0 period.

After Griffin developed his shooting and playmaking skills, he is no longer the white beast that can fly and dodge.

But Zhou Ze is different...

Compared to his rookie season, Zhou Ze has not only increased his weight and strength, but his skills and running and jumping talents have also improved.

This all-round growth and transformation is unique in the entire history of the NBA.

"Could this guy really be from Mars?"

Members of the Spurs coaching staff all marveled at Zhou Ze's terrifying speed of evolution.

"Do you think this kid has really mastered the mid-range shot?" Spurs coach Popovich asked with a frown.

As soon as this topic came up, the Spurs management team began to discuss it.

The discussion was very intense.

After all, the Lakers are the Spurs' strongest opponent in the West, no doubt about it.

Even if the Suns got the Shark, they would not be as threatening as the Lakers.

Soon, one person concluded: "Mr. Greg, although I don't want to admit this fact, I'm afraid... yes."

When Popovich heard this, he was stunned at first, then he let out a long sigh.

Before the regular season of this season started, Zhou Ze took a lot of mid-range shots in the preseason, but his unstable shooting percentage made the Lakers' preseason record very mediocre.

After entering the regular season, the outside world believed that the Lakers' performance this season would be affected by Zhou Ze's sloppy shots and high-scoring shots.

But what they didn't expect was that Zhou Ze didn't shoot much during the regular season, and at most took 4 shots per game.

The Lakers' haters, although Zhou Ze's haters were unexpected, also mocked him in various ways, saying that Zhou Ze's mid-range shots were just a fake trick and they only dared to use them in an unimportant preseason game.

But the fact is...

Zhou Ze's mid-range shooting percentage has been spiraling upward.

In tonight's game against the Grizzlies, Zhou Ze seemed to have developed a combo of mid-range shots after the confrontation.

And in the next two games this week...

In the home game against the Los Angeles Clippers, the Clippers had a cold outside shooting feel in this game.

Well, no matter how unlucky the Lakers are, they won't be able to overwhelm their opponents in every game.

Also, it is impossible for the Lakers to have a cold shooting in every game.

In this game, PJ Tucker made 5 of 4 three-pointers from the left corner, and Luke Walton also shot 4% from three-point range.

After the space was created, the defensive pressure Zhou Ze faced was sharply reduced.

Zhou Ze scored 46 points in this game, taking 8 mid-range shots and making 4 of them.

The Clippers' star player, Captain Elton Brand, was sitting on the bench in a suit and tie. He watched Zhou Ze develop a mid-range shot that was as good as his own. He rubbed his eyes several times, really hoping that this was a nightmare.

On December 2007, 12, the last game of the week (week 21 of the regular season), the opponent was the Houston Rockets.

The two sides staged the China Derby again. With Yao Ming protecting the basket, it was indeed difficult to enter the basket.

Yao Ming and Zach Eadie are different. They look similar in physique and playing style, but Yao Ming not only has stronger lower limb strength, but is also more flexible as a whole. His defensive sense and defensive IQ are not comparable to Zach Eadie's.

During the Cavaliers 1.0 era, James often suffered setbacks when he tried to break into the Rockets' inside line.

In this game, Zhou Ze took 12 mid-range shots and made 5 of them.

12 out of 5 is already an extremely high hit rate for mid-range shots, but there is a more important strategic significance behind the hit rate.

Yao Ming didn't dare to squat under the basket, so Zhou Ze had the opportunity to break through.

Throughout the game, Zhou Ze scored a big double-double of 41 points, 16 rebounds, 2 blocks and 1 steal.

Yao Ming also performed well, scoring 28 points, 13 rebounds and 1 block.

Time has come to a new week.

Week 9 of the regular season.

The Lakers will face the Cleveland Cavaliers on Christmas Day this week.

Before playing against the Cavaliers, the Lakers have another game against the Seattle SuperSonics.

Zhou Ze taught Durant a lesson again.

"Stupid KD, why are you still so weak?" Throughout the game, Zhou Ze communicated with Durant in an extremely disappointed tone.

The depleted Lakers played three quarters and easily defeated the Seattle SuperSonics.

next day!

There is only one day left until the Christmas game.

The Lakers did not practice that day.

Zhou Ze and Kobe were invited by the NBA Reading Club to go to a reading center in Los Angeles to tell stories to children.
