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

Including this block, Zhou Ze has already blocked 4 shots in this game, and it only took less than 3 quarters.

"Carlos, we're in big trouble tonight."

"He rushed forward at full speed, but he still couldn't break through Zhou's defense."

"I didn't expect Zhou's defensive prediction to be this strong."

The Jazz coaching staff inevitably became depressed when they saw that Boozer, who had the offensive advantage, was unable to break through Zhou Ze's defense.

You know, Boozer was rushing forward, and Zhou Ze first helped his teammates delay Deron, and then turned to defend Boozer, but he was successfully defended by him.

If everything were in a relatively static state, wouldn't Boozer be doomed?

In fact, they are right.

At 10 minutes and 14 seconds in the third quarter, Boozer challenged Zhou Ze in the high post and attempted a breakthrough with a triple threat. Although he did not have very fast speed, his thick tattooed arms could push away many small-sized No. 4 players.

It’s just that Zhou Ze’s physical talent is too bullying.

208cm tall, 129kg in weight, 231cm in wingspan, far surpassing Boozer's 206cm tall, 117kg in weight, 219cm in wingspan.

Boozer, who was being chased, wanted to use his strength to fight back and get past the defense, but Zhou Ze's center of gravity was not greatly affected after being hit by the fight.

Simply put, Boozer just didn't carry Zhou Ze away.

Boozer forced a layup, but was finally blocked by Zhou Ze.

Faced with the suppression of his talent, Boozer couldn't help but feel powerless.

"too slow!"

"Carlos is too slow!"

"In front of Zhou, he is simply a hat-delivering machine."

"yes..."

"There's no comparison to Karl Malone, his predecessor."

"If Boozer is still on the court, it will only have a negative impact on the team."

Barkley and Smith in the TNT live broadcast room couldn't help but joke that Boozer's three-pronged attack had been completely destroyed by Zhou Ze.

...

...

The game entered the fourth quarter, and with Kobe making two consecutive mid-range single-handed hits, the score difference was widened to 18 points again.

Why say again?

Although the Jazz's starting lineup was badly suppressed by the Lakers, their bench lineup played really well tonight.

Korver, who was traded from the Philadelphia 76ers this season, made 4 of 2 three-pointers.

The Jazz's sophomore, Paul Millsap, the backup swingman, scored 8 points in the second quarter.

On the other hand, the Lakers' sophomores, except for Rajon Rondo, have not met the fans' expectations.

Especially P.J. Tucker, who went 3-for-0 from the corner three-point line tonight, all of which were wide open, which surprised Lakers fans. You know, he practiced the corner three-pointer in the second half of the regular season.

But what I never expected was that they would be completely ruined in the playoffs.

"Jerry Sloan let Mehmet Okur play against Zhou Ze in the fourth quarter to see if his size could limit Zhou Ze to a certain extent," said Kenny Smith of TNT.

"Honestly, I don't think this is a very good defensive strategy." Barkley is not optimistic that Okur can defend Zhou Ze.

On the court, Okur adopted a half-front defense, and on the side where he received the ball, there was an AK47 constantly moving around.

Even Rajon Rondo found it difficult to get the ball to Zhou Ze.

At this time, Zhou Ze waved his hand, left the low post directly, and came to the high post to pass the ball to Rajon Rondo. After receiving the ball, Zhou Ze faced the defense of O'Neal and AK47 who would come to assist at any time.

"Bang!" Zhou Ze used his quick first step to burst past O'Neal. Facing AK47's assist defense, he passed the ball in advance, made a big loop in the air, and pretended to pass the ball to Odom in the corner. After tricking AK47 into turning his head, he stretched his abdomen in the air and completed a nimble slam dunk as light as a wild goose.

"Fuck!"

"I actually fell for it!"

AK47 was very upset.

Jerry Sloan sighed again in his heart, thinking that Okur's defense against Zhou Ze in the low post might be of some use.

But there was really no way to deal with Zhou Ze's face-to-face attack. Once he was passed, his aircraft carrier-like U-turn made it impossible for him to catch up with Zhou Ze, and it also increased the difficulty of AK47's assist defense.

Furthermore, what was even more serious was that Boozer lacked the ability to protect the rim. If Okur was at the rim, he would definitely not have allowed Zhou Ze to complete such a comfortable dunk.

...

...

Jerry Sloan watched the score gap gradually widen to 20+.

More importantly, the players on the field had lost all their morale and were powerless to turn the situation around.

But the iron-blooded coach Jerry Sloan did not give up and was still adjusting the lineup.

"drop!"

The Lakers quickly switched offense and defense. Seeing Zhou Ze rushing forward, AK47 and Carlos Boozer transformed into two "Grim Reaper Cloaks" and pulled Zhou Ze down.

Boozer also received his fifth foul and was replaced by Jerry Sloan.

Replaced by sophomore Paul Millsap.

After Millsap came on the court, he was responsible for guarding Zhou Ze on the defensive end.

On the offensive end of the Jazz, Deron and Okur formed the strong side of defense through pick-and-rolls, while Millsaps covered his teammates on the weak side of defense or cut inside from time to time.

At this time, the Lakers' center on the court was Byram, who was not very willing to rush out, or could not defend.

If Zhou Ze doesn't make up for it, Deron will punish Byram with his shooting.

When Zhou Ze goes to make up for the defense, Millsap can choose to cut inside.

Although this set of moves did not change the situation of the game, it effectively improved the Jazz's offense, which was completely different from the offensive constipation in the first three quarters.

It's just that on the defensive end, the Jazz really have no solution.

Zhou Ze started to hook Millsap wildly.

Millsap, who is 203cm tall, really has no way to deal with Zhou Ze.

After Zhou Ze reached the low post, he pushed hard and pushed the ball forward. Although Millsap tried his best, he couldn't stop Zhou Ze's advancement.

When he is about 8 feet away from the basket, Zhou Ze can make a front hook shot or a reverse hook shot.

How to tick, how to get it!

"This bastard has so many killer moves."

"Unreasonable three-point shot!"

"Turn around and shoot a fadeaway jump shot!"

"Battle Elbow Turn!"

"Oh... yeah, and his incredible jump shot!"

The Jazz's assistant coaches gritted their teeth in anger when they saw Zhou Ze getting whatever he wanted on the court.

What is a trump card?

The so-called killer move is that you can throw the basketball regardless of the shooting environment.

This seems simple enough.

For example, when the game reaches a critical moment and you have the ball, you can ensure that your shot is not intercepted before you shoot and not blocked after you shoot.

Under this premise, it is the so-called "killer move".

Or to put it more simply, you can do it smoothly.

Like Djokovic's fadeaway jumper, no matter what level of defense you put out, they can still shoot the ball at the last moment.

After all, only after you shoot the basketball can you consider whether it goes in or not!!!

At present, Zhou Ze basically has this ability. You give him the ball at the critical moment, and he can shoot the basketball no matter if he is defended by one person, two people, or three people.

Unreasonable three-pointers, iron-blooded jump shots, turnaround fadeaways, and even invincible hook shots all have this characteristic.

The game is over!

99 is better than 119!

The Lakers won Game 20 with a 1-point lead.
