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

Not long after, in the training hall.

Sweat ran down Zhou Ze's cheeks and dripped onto the floor.

Zhou Ze, who was physically exhausted, showed a satisfied smile at this moment.

The next day.

Smoothie King Center, home of the New Orleans Hornets.

In the away locker room, Zen Master Phil Jackson is giving a pre-game mobilization speech.

In addition to being broadcast live across the United States, tonight's game will also be broadcast live on major platforms such as TNT and Tianchao Sports.

This was a crucial game that, to some extent, determined the Western Conference Player of the Month and Western Conference Rookie of the Month awards.

For this reason, major media in New Orleans had already started warming up for this game several days ago.

Zhou Ze and Chris Paul's past in the NCAA was also dug up by the media.

Zhou Ze once elbowed Paul during a game, almost turning the basketball court into a martial arts training ground.

Paul has always been brooding over this matter, and in a recent interview, when the reporter mentioned Zhou Ze, Chris Paul said with a dark face that Zhou Ze was the dirtiest guy he had ever met.

Lakers starting lineup: Smush Parker, Kobe Bryant, Lamar Odom, Zhou Ze and Kwame Brown.

Hornets starting lineup: Chris Paul, Kirk Snyder, Desmond Mason, David West and PJ Brown.

The Hornets' two big men are both good at mid-range shooting, especially David West, who is known as the 17-foot assassin.

After the opening, Paul planned to target Zhou Ze on the defensive end, and started his offense by switching defense with David West.

Paul saw that Zhou Ze did not switch to him in time, so he took a step to the left and immediately took a mid-range shot, but unfortunately it was a little short and the basketball bounced out of the basket.

Zhou Ze glanced at the basket and found that Kwame Brown was in a favorable position. He planned to return to defense, but soon heard the sound of the basketball entering the net and the cheers of Hornets fans.

The experienced PJ Brown, when he was at a disadvantage in the rebounding position, took the opportunity to point the ball and passed it to the cutting Hornets forward "Mason". The latter faced Kwame Brown's defense and made a jelly layup.

"FUCK, Lamar, what are you doing?" Kobe Bryant directly scolded Odom who missed the man.

Odom, knowing that he was in the wrong, naturally didn't dare to say anything when he saw that it was Kobe who was scolding him.

The Lakers are playing a true back-to-back away game tonight. For Odom, who lacks strong willpower, his condition is obviously not as good as usual.

At the first official timeout, the Lakers were trailing by 8 points with the score at 13-5. Zen Master Phil Jackson replaced Lamar Odom with Devin George, who was strong and had a -point shooting ability.

Devin George is strong and has excellent athletic ability for the 3 position, but his defense is also average, but at least better than Lamar Odom tonight.

Paul faced Zhou Ze in a one-on-one duel. Zhou Ze's footwork was very fast, and he had also developed a good habit of not jumping around in the one-on-one duel with Kobe, but he was still overtaken by Paul's Sam Gold. Paul, who had already come behind Zhou Ze, glanced at Kwame Brown who had no time to help defend him, and made a sideways layup.

With a "bang!", the soul-stirring sound of a blocked shot rang out in the stadium.

"Man, good job!" Zhou Ze couldn't help but praise his teammate Devin George who helped him with the assist defense and successfully blocked Paul. Then he turned around and started a fast break.

Zhou Ze once again demonstrated his speed advantage. David West couldn't keep up at all. Kobe, holding the ball, made a long pass across half the court, giving enough lead time. Zhou Ze caught the ball with both hands in the air. Facing Mason who was diving to destroy him, he "banged" and knocked him over, completing a powerful dunk.

16 to 17, the Lakers narrowed the gap to only 1 points.

This dunk ignited the morale of the Lakers and also dealt a certain blow to the Hornets.

"Man, it's just an ordinary 2 points." Paul dribbled across half court, gestured with his fingers to arrange his teammates' movements, and at the same time spoke to comfort the teammate who was dunked on.

Paul used the pick-and-roll again, but this time he looked for Kwame Brown. Although Paul hated Zhou Ze, he had to admit that this guy's footwork was indeed fast and his cost-effectiveness in single play was not high.

Paul used a pick-and-roll to break through to the basket, caught Smush Parker over-helping, turned around and passed the ball to PJ Brown in the high post, who missed the open shot.

"Return to defense!"

"Return to defense!"

Paul quickly shouted at his teammates to return to defense.

Zhou Ze grabbed the defensive rebound and passed it to Kobe.

Immediately afterwards, David West felt a hurricane passing by him. For David West, who had mediocre athletic ability, the speed surprised him.

Soon, he could only see Zhou Ze's buttocks.

After Kobe crossed half court and dribbled to the three-point line, he encountered help defense from the opponent, but the next second, he lobbed the ball to Zhou Ze who cut in from the wing.

Paul seized the opportunity, stood outside the reasonable collision zone in advance, covered the ball, and prepared to commit an offensive foul.

Paul's position is very good, on the "flight route" that Zhou Ze must take after receiving the ball.

As long as you fall down early at the moment of physical contact, you will definitely cause the opponent to commit an offensive foul.
