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

US time, December 2007, 12.

NBA's annual Christmas game.

There are 8 teams participating in the Christmas game, with 4 groups of matches.

Boston Celtics vs. Orlando Magic

Phoenix Suns vs. San Antonio Spurs

Los Angeles Lakers vs. Cleveland Cavaliers

New York Knicks vs. New Orleans Hornets

Among them, the most eye-catching is naturally the Lakers vs. Cavaliers.

The two teams that reached the finals last year.

The Staples Center is decorated with many Christmas elements, including cartoon dolls like reindeer and Santa Claus, and stickers, which are spread all over the venue.

The beautiful cheerleaders also changed into sexier and hotter outfits.

It’s true, when it comes to appearance, the Lakers cheerleaders are really good.

Before the game started, the Lakers held a special event to give back to the fans for their support. Anyone who could hit a long three-pointer in the first half would receive $10.

But unfortunately, all three fans who were drawn failed in the challenge.

For some unknown reason, the fans at the scene shouted Zhou Ze's name.

"week!"

"week!"

"week!"

The sound of thunder and waves resounded throughout the Staples Center.

The live DJ invited Zhou Ze to the court and asked him to choose to help one of the fans.

If Zhou Ze hits the Logo three-pointer, the fan will receive $10.

"Me!"

"Me!"

"Me!"

These three male contestants kept flirting with Zhou Ze.

At this moment, Zhou Ze looked like a savior in their eyes.

You know, Zhou Ze is the league's top three-point shooter.

Even though his three-point shooting percentage isn't the highest in the league, or even in the top five, his top-end shooting percentage is unmatched in the league. And his logo-shoot is his signature move.

$10 million!

This is the annual income of American white-collar workers.

Zhou Ze finally chose a white man in his early thirties. There was no other reason, he just liked him better.

Fans had three chances to challenge the Logo-shoot, but the on-site DJ told Zhou Ze that he only had two chances.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Zhou Ze, wearing training clothes, came to the midfield and took the basketball handed to him by the staff. Without even warming up, he just took the ball and shot it.

this moment!

Thousands of eyes were staring at the basketball that drew an arc in the air.

"Shh!"

As the basketball went into the net, all the fans in the stadium let out a tsunami-like exclamation.

"OMG!"

"OMG!"

"OMG!"

The white middle-aged man chosen by Zhou Ze was so excited that he covered his mouth with his hands and jumped up and down.

You know, this is 10 US dollars.

Moreover, it was 07 US dollars in 10.

The white man named "Jason Silver" couldn't help but burst into tears of gratitude towards Zhou Ze.

The live camera was now focused on the audience, and his children were cheering.

This amount of money is a considerable fortune for ordinary working-class people like them, enough to change their current lives.

After all, the super annual salary Zhou Ze currently signed is only 1947 million US dollars.

that's it!

The Seaver family received a sudden $10. In order to thank Zhou Ze, Jason Seaver plans to tattoo the Lakers' No. 0 on his chest.

And Zhou Ze also gained a super loyal fan.

...

...

After the pre-match warm-up session, the official competition began.

The starting lineup of both parties:

[Cavaliers (away)]: LeBron James, Larry Hughes, Ira Newbell, Drew Gooden and Zydrunas Ilgauskas (Big Z).

[Lakers (home)]: Derek Fisher, Kobe Bryant, Lamar Odom, Zhou Ze and Kwame Brown.

In this game, except for Xijianbiao, the other two injured players of the Lakers have returned to health.

After the game started, the Lakers won the jump ball and got the first offensive opportunity.

The person defending Zhou Ze is Drew Gooden. In last year's finals, Drew Gooden was completely beaten to a pulp by Zhou Ze.

Being eaten raw and diffracted by Zhou Ze.

Drew Gooden was crushed even more tonight.

"drop!"

At 3 minutes and 18 seconds into the first quarter, the referee's whistle sounded again.

Drew Gooden committed a three-point defensive foul and has now committed two fouls.

All of them were caused by Zhou Ze. The first time was a defensive foul under the basket. Zhou Ze used a fake move to shake the opponent up, and then took advantage of the time rhythm difference to jump straight up and down, causing the opponent to foul.

In addition, Drew Gooden was eaten alive by Zhou Ze three times, one of which was directly knocked to the ground by Zhou Ze.

Anderson Varejao replaced Drew Gooden and took on the task of defending Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze went to the free throw line and made all 3 free throws, 12 to 19. The home team Lakers led by 7 points, and Zhou Ze scored 12 points alone.

Although Kobe started the game 3 for 0, he still had 1 assist and 2 steals.

In 4 minutes, he made 2 steals. His stealing efficiency is so terrifying that Larry Hughes, who he is defending, no longer dares to let the ball go easily.

Facing the Lakers who started the game with great momentum, the Cavaliers' morale seemed rather weak.

LeBron James, the chosen one, dribbled the ball to the top of the arc and outside the three-point line. Facing Odom's defense, he took a direct three-pointer and made it.

15 is better than 19!

James, who worked hard on his shooting during the offseason, has seen a slight improvement in his shooting ability this season.

The first two three-pointers tonight were all made.

The Lakers are the team that likes to respond most to answer-ball.

Lao Yu passed the ball to Zhou Ze at the top of the arc, almost in a mirror image position. Zhou Ze received the ball and faked it, deceiving Varejao's center of gravity and making it difficult for him to jump. At that moment, he took a three-pointer, facing the defense of Anderson Varejao, and with a "swish", he made the three-pointer, 15 to 22.

Unlike James' three-pointer, Odom still took half a step and shot in half-open space.

But after Varejao received the ball from Zhou Ze, he stayed close to him. Zhou Ze used a fake move to induce a breakthrough, causing his legs to spread apart, causing his center of gravity to shift. The wider the spread, the more limited his jump height.

The bounce was almost "sealed" by Zhou Ze.

This is a very advanced offensive technique.

When facing a big center, the guard will use this footwork technique to block the big man's bounce and score under their defense.

...

...

The pressure is on the Cavaliers, or on James, to see if he can pay it back.

"Don't get close!" Zhou Ze, the core of the Lakers' defensive system, directed his teammates to defend.

Odom saw that James had scored two goals in a row and was in hot form, so he had to stick close to him.

But since Zhou Ze had spoken, Odom obediently did as he was told.

The reason why the veteran was so obedient was not only because Zen Master Phil Jackson repeatedly emphasized that Zhou Ze was the defensive core of the team and everything should be under his command, but also because Odom could reap unexpected results every time he listened to the advice.
