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

Facing Paul who was stuck in position and intended to commit an offensive foul.

Zhou Ze, who was already speeding up, had only one choice, and that was to "fly" over.

With the [Aerial Work (Silver)] buff, Zhou Ze's [Jumping Height] attribute increased by +5, reaching an astonishing 120.

Converted into vertical jumping height, it reaches more than 100cm. Combined with Zhou Ze's two strong legs, it is theoretically more than enough to fly over Chris Paul who is 178cm tall.

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"

Chris Paul found himself with a huge figure passing by quickly in front of his eyes, and the roar of an airplane engine seemed to be heard in his ears.

The next moment, there was a loud "bang" and the basket made a loud noise.

The Hornets' home fans couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. They looked at Zhou Ze hanging on the basket in disbelief. This guy from China seemed to have flown over Paul's head just now.

You know, the label given to him by the outside media is "soft egg".

At the same time, Paul, feeling curious and surprised, subconsciously turned his head to look at the basket and found a buttocks like a pendulum, hitting his face.

In order to protect his knees, Zhou Ze had the habit of pulling the basket to reduce the cushioning. Zhou Ze swore to God that he did not intentionally hit Paul's head with his butt.

Zhou Ze currently weighs 115kg, and the force generated by the shaking was not small, which directly knocked the frightened Paul to the ground.

"Haha. Is this rookie Chris paying tribute to you?" Kenny Smith in the TNT live broadcast room laughed out loud.

"Man, are you polite? But I bet Zhou's ass must smell much better than a donkey..." Barkley can take a joke.

At the same time, Paul, who was knocked over on the court, stood up, clenched his fists, and prepared to hit Zhou Ze's butt twice, but Zhou Ze had already fallen to the ground.

Paul's clenched fists relaxed again.

He remembered the NCAA game where this bastard deliberately provoked him and made him lose his mind, and then after he threw a punch, he hit him with a heavy elbow.

"You son of a bitch, you did it on purpose." Paul felt humiliated, and although his fists loosened, his anger did not diminish at all.

"Dear Chris, I still think my butt is dirty." Zhou Ze said while patting his butt.

Paul gritted his teeth, the anger in his eyes was like an active volcano that was about to erupt at any moment.

But as the point guard and the commander of the court, he barely suppressed his anger with the reminder of head coach Byron Scott.

But Paul is just a rookie and his emotional control is not stable.

In the next round, there was a pass error, and the Black Mamba rushed over, completed a steal and then slammed the ball.

"Chris, pass the ball quickly!" Zhou Ze shouted at Paul.

"Shut up, second-round pick!" Paul said angrily.

"Chris, good pass." Zhou Ze still had a smile on his face.

Seeing Paul getting increasingly angry, Hornets coach Scott immediately requested a timeout to substitute him.

After returning to the bench, Paul, who was full of anger, "Bang!" and punched the bench hard, which scared the Hornets players next to him.

"Chris, you have to calm down and don't let this guy anger you. You are our commander on the field." Scott saw that his beloved disciple was a little broken by Zhou Ze, so he quickly began to provide psychological counseling.

Paul nodded with difficulty.

After the timeout, Paul did not continue to play. He sat on the bench and took deep breaths, trying to calm his excitement and anger.

But Zhou Ze, who remained on the court, hit a three-pointer in the corner after catching the ball in a half-transition round against the defense of Hornets backup forward Rasual Butler.

After scoring the goal, Zhou Ze passed by the Hornets' bench and shouted at Paul, "First-round pick, why are you sitting on the bench?"

In an instant, Chris Paul's chest heaved violently again.

...

...

Zen Master Phil Jackson took Zhou Ze's physical problems into consideration and made reasonable arrangements for his playing time. Zhou Ze, who was in high spirits tonight, played for 10 minutes in the first quarter before being sent on the court in the second half of the second quarter.

He was joined by Sasha Vujacic.

But Sasha Vujacic was in really bad shape tonight. During a breakthrough, he was intercepted by Paul who was assisting in defense.

Then, he made two consecutive bad three-pointers, both of which missed the target.

After playing for only 3 minutes, he was replaced by the Phil Jackson.

"Sasha, what are you doing? You shoot three-pointers against people. Do you think you are Zhou Ze? Or is your brain like that of an elementary school student?" The Zen Master was very angry and scolded Vujacic.

After all, in just 3 minutes, thanks to Vujacic's various bizarre operations, the Hornets narrowed the gap to single digits.

47 to 38, the Hornets trailed by 9 points.

As for Wujacic, who was compared to Zhou Ze by the coach, he felt extremely aggrieved, but he could only endure it.

"never mind!"

"I haven't gained nothing. Although I have failed on the court, I have succeeded in love. Maria Sharapova has agreed to come to watch my match in a few days."

Vujacic comforted himself.

...

...

Paul, who was broken by Zhou Ze in the first quarter and left the game early, finally regained his composure in the second quarter.

Most of the Lakers players who played back-to-back games were physically and mentally exhausted, and their fighting spirit and condition were not as good as usual. Even though Kobe blocked the opposing players hard, the loopholes on the defensive end could not be made up by the outside players.

No matter how strong the defensive ability of the outside players is, they can only "blockade the opponent individually" at best.

Paul connected with David West, and Zhou Ze quickly followed him. David West used his shoulders and body as a screen, stretched his arms, and scored a layup under Zhou Ze's defense.

"Second-round pick, your arms are so long." After high-fiving West in celebration, Paul couldn't help but sneer at Zhou Ze's arm span.

Zhou Ze was indeed difficult to defend against this type of attack. Firstly, his arm span was short, so his standing reach wasn't high enough. Secondly, his shooting speed wasn't very fast, so he kept nipping past the opponent. Thirdly, he couldn't accurately predict the timing of the block.

"Chris, has the smell of my ass ruined your brain?" Zhou Ze's trash talk followed, immediately silencing Paul.

Veterans on both sides of the court.

PJ Brown entered the NBA in 93!

Kobe entered the NBA in 96!

Watching Paul and Zhou Ze bickering with each other, I couldn't help but wonder if I had returned to the 90s.

Soon, in a fast break, Paul was mismatched with Zhou Ze. He made a double change of direction in front of his body, took a sudden step forward, and passed Zhou Ze cleanly.

When healthy, Paul possesses top-tier explosiveness. Although his stride isn't particularly long, his first step is incredibly fast. In positional play, Zhou Ze can barely keep up with Paul for a few rounds, but in a "dynamic" fast break, Paul can easily pass Zhou Ze.

Paul successfully broke through, took two steps, took the ball, jumped up suddenly, and responded to Zhou Ze with a one-handed slam dunk.

While returning to defense, he even lifted his chest muscles with both hands towards Zhou Ze, and at the same time, he kept saying, "Zhou, you're too short, too short!"
