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

The Celtics' head coach and the Big Three have different opinions on Zhou Ze.

Doug Rivers exclaimed that Zhou Ze's turnaround and fadeaway shot was as accurate as Dan Zi's. Of course, this was a bit of an exaggeration.

The Big Three saw abilities that laypeople didn't realize, especially Garnett, whom Zhou Ze had a huge impact on. Although Zhou Ze had a lot of assists in Game 4, his ability to orchestrate the team's offense wasn't particularly strong.

But now it’s different...

He directed his teammates who were out of position to move to their most suitable positions.

And hone your defensive position through back-to-the-basket plays.

The only problem is that he holds the ball for a little too long, which makes it easy for teammates other than Kobe to lose their touch.

...

...

on the other hand.

Media reporters also interviewed Zhou Ze about the difference between Garnett and Duncan on the defensive end.

Zhou Ze's answer was very objective.

"For me, KG's defense is more threatening. He is a top-notch help defense master. Of course, his top defense ability is also not weak. I am very much looking forward to the next game, when KG will be responsible for defending me in the low post." Zhou Ze said with a smile.

TD, or Tim Duncan, is also very strong on defense, but he and KG are different types of players. TD is a squat type, using rim protection and footwork to pressure opponents to shoot. KG is a sweeper inside the three-point line.

Zhou Ze broke the defensive system centered around TD last season.

By the way...

Compared to KG and TD's reading of the game, Dwight Howard is completely incomparable.

The point that best illustrates this is that KG and TD, who suffered serious injuries, can still become the team's defensive gates at the end of their careers, but Howard is wandering around, with only one defense left. His ability to defend against smaller players and assist defense has been weakened a lot.

Howard's defense relies more on athletic talent + defensive sense, while KG and Zhou Ze rely on athletic talent + experience + defensive sense + basketball IQ.

Even if Zhou Ze is seriously injured in the future and his athletic ability declines, his defensive deterrence is roughly equivalent to Tim Duncan this season.

certainly...

The possibility of Zhou Ze getting injured is equivalent to Danzi returning next season and winning three consecutive championships.

...

...

three days later.

Boston!

Game 6 of the yellow-green battle was held at their home stadium, TD Garden.

"Beat-LA!"

"Beat-LA!"

"Beat-LA!"

When Zhou Ze and his team walked out of the player tunnel, Celtics fans wearing green jerseys shouted in unison.

The momentum is mighty and the momentum is as strong as a tiger.

But for the Lakers, who are used to big scenes...

so-so.

They are accustomed to this feeling of oppression.

In addition to the intimidating demonstrations, there are also many Celtics fans who are in a bad mood.

Someone held up a banner that read, "Zhou Ze is the King of the Lakers, Kobe is just 1.5 years old!"

"Kobe, this is Zhou Ze's team!"

"Kobe, Zhou Ze is your dad..."

Zhou Ze, who was standing in the center of the stadium, was afraid that Kobe couldn't see it, so he deliberately read out the words on the banners.

But when reading the third one, Kobe interrupted angrily: "Shut up! Damn bastard!"

...

...

Game 6 is very important for all Lakers players.

No one wants a Game 7.

Even though Zhou Ze could get more rewards the more games he played, he was unwilling to be dragged into a Game 7 by the opponent.

After all, Danzi has never played a tie-break.

For the Celtics, it's a do-or-die battle.

Although Doc Rivers doesn't know much about tactics, he has a lot of chicken soup for the soul, and every player is like a chicken with blood injected before the game.

Garnett!

Ray Allen!

These two NBA superstars came to the Celtics in pursuit of the championship.

They meditated before the game.

Especially Garnett.

He blocked every dead ball shot by his opponent this season, giving them no chance of 2+1.

He uses this method to motivate every player in the team.

It can be said that the Big Three did everything for the championship.

Everyone made great sacrifices!

You know, last season, the Big Three averaged around 25 points per game.

"KG, I believe in you, you can do it." Before the game officially started, Garnett, who was meditating, began to hypnotize himself.

In pursuit of the championship, Kevin Garnett left Minnesota and came to Boston. He worked hard for a whole season and was only two game wins away from the championship trophy.

...

...

The G6 battle officially begins.

The Celtics' defensive rotation also improved in the battle with the Lakers.

Zhou Ze passed the ball after being double-teamed, but Tony Allen, who was actively rotating, made timely defense. With a "bang", Lao Yu received the ball and missed the three-pointer.

Garnett faced Kwame Brown and made consecutive jump shots.

Pierce also maintained a high efficiency when challenging PJ Tucker.

On the Lakers side, it was still Zhou Ze and Kobe who performed a two-man show. It was not that the Elbow-Bi combination did not trust their teammates, but under the Celtics' extreme defense, it was difficult for other players to get a good chance to shoot.

As two super-high-paid players in the league, if they don't take action at critical moments, when will they be able to carry the team?

Zhou Ze received the ball in the high post and played Perkins with his back. With his unpredictable and skillful footwork and the shaking of his shoulders, he made a strong move and tricked Perkins into jumping up with a fake move. Zhou Ze took advantage of the situation and broke through with a low body, rushing forward in a falling manner. Facing Garnett's backup defense, he passed the ball in advance, holding the basketball tightly with both hands, trying to get away from Garnett next to him.

But it must be said that Garnett's coordination is really strong. He retreated and defended at the same time, and did not let Zhou Ze hit him hard.

When taking the last step, Garnett jumped right after Zhou Ze, but the next moment, Garnett was stunned again. This little bastard's jumping speed was too fast. Seeing that he could not block the shot, Garnett made a tactical foul and pulled Zhou Ze down fiercely.

This foul is very serious and does not give you any chance of 2+1.

Zhou Ze went to the free throw line for the seventh time tonight.

After making both free throws, he now shot 2 out of 11. However, it is worth mentioning that there are still 8 minutes left in the first half.

54 to 59, the Celtics maintained a 5-point lead thanks to better performance of role players and overall defense.

Garnett, who had two fouls, was substituted out. This was not because he was worried about foul trouble, but because Garnett had problems with his physical strength.

Replacing Garnett was the big baby - Glen Davis.

Standing 206cm tall and weighing 131kg, he was selected by the SuperSonics with the 5th pick in the second round of this year's draft, but was traded to the Boston Celtics along with Ray Allen.

"when!"

Ray Allen's three-pointer after receiving the ball after a screen was squeezed out by Kobe's "paper drawing", and he was interfered with in the first time and missed the shot.

The Celtics, who had the lead, gave up fighting for the offensive rebound after Garnett left the court.

After the Lakers' backup center, Darko Milicic, one of the "Smash Brothers," grabbed the rebound, Paul Pierce yelled at the top of his lungs, "Get back on defense! Get back on defense! Get back on defense!"
