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

The time came to October 2008, 10.

The Lakers opened their first preseason game against an old acquaintance, the Utah Jazz.

The Lakers have undergone a major overhaul this season.

Although Popovich publicly stated to the media that the Lakers have become stronger after robbing Artest from the Kings, the outside world is still not optimistic about this Lakers team.

The championship team changes!

This is not a wise decision.

Especially the Lakers' three centers are all gone.

Chris Andersen is just a backup for the Denver Nuggets.

Marc Gasol was selected by the Lakers in 07, but only officially returned to the team this year. There are still significant differences between the European League and the NBA.

JaVale McGee is a rookie inside player who has explosive physical talent but has difficulty concentrating for long periods of time during games.

Can these three really support the Lakers' basket?

There are still many voices outside that are pessimistic about the Lakers.

But from Zhou Ze's perspective, he had never fought such a prosperous battle in his life.

...

...

Preseason game against the Jazz.

The starting lineup sent out by the Phil Jackson: Rajon Rondo, Kobe Bryant, Ron Artest, Zhou Ze and Chris Andersen.

This starting lineup is just an experiment and has not been finalized as the Lakers' regular starting lineup.

The Jazz's starting five are Deron Williams, CJ Miles, Ronnie Brewer, Carlos Boozer and Mehmet Okur.

Andrei Kirilenko was relegated to the bench by Jerry Sloan, hoping that he could serve as the team's sixth man and increase the bench strength.

This idea is similar to the Zen Master putting Lamar Odom on the bench.

Last season, the Lakers were at a disadvantage in terms of bench strength, with the substitutes often digging holes and the starters filling them.

Fortunately, the two big men of the Lakers are blood C...

The Lakers' new lineup is inevitably "chaotic", with Artest and Chris Andersen often running around in disarray on the court.

But Rondo and Zhou Ze both have the ability to organize the offense.

In addition, in order to make Rondo play more comfortably and allow new teammates to integrate, Zhou Ze sacrificed a certain amount of ball control.

But basically in every offensive round, the ball would pass through Zhou Ze's hands.

In the first four minutes of the game, the Lakers made four turnovers and quickly got back on track.

After Zhou Ze set a high pick-and-roll, he suddenly slid down the court, quickly passing Boozer. Rondo then threw a bounce pass to Zhou Ze. Seeing Zhou Ze about to dunk, Okur had no choice but to step up to defend.

Zhou Ze made a high pass, and with a "boom!", the birdman with a Mohawk hairdo flapped his wings and flew high, completing an alley-oop slam dunk.

"Nice-pass!" The birdman shouted excitedly to Zhou Ze.

Immediately afterwards, the Lakers set a trap for Deron on the defensive end. After Deron broke in, he took advantage of the time rhythm difference and his flexible footwork to avoid Zhou Ze's block. With a "bang!", Birdman completed the volleyball block.

The basketball was directly fanned out of bounds.

The fans at the scene suddenly cheered.

Birdman waved his arms in a no-fly zone celebration.

Birdman, who has been wandering in the NBA for many years, has adapted relatively quickly.

至于新援之一的罗恩-阿泰斯特，上赛季代表国王队参战的57场比赛中，阿泰斯特场均可以拿到20.5分5.8篮板3.5助攻2.3抢断。

After coming to the Lakers, Artest's aggressive steals were further released.

Facing the smaller Boozer who was outmatched, Artest pushed him hard, and it was difficult for Boozer to push him with his strength. He could only use his footwork to get past Artest on both sides.

Boozer first put all his strength into a post-up shot, then suddenly turned right and used his strength to push Artest, who was unable to react for a moment and was swept by him. Although Artest's footwork was slow when defending the 2 position, it was definitely fast when defending the 4 position.

Artest was like a huge plaster, sticking hard to Boozer, which made Boozer's turn very awkward.

"Snapped!"

Artest suddenly made a steal and cut the basketball out of Boozer's hands.

After successfully stealing the ball, Artest passed the ball to Zhou Ze, who made a pass across the court to Kobe.

Kobe, who was in a dynamic offense, faced the double-team formed by Deron and CJ Miles who were returning to defense. He passed the ball and went straight out of the gap in the double-team. With a "bang", Kobe completed a slam dunk.

"Referee, he just hit my arm." Boozer was still complaining to the referee.

But the referee ignored it. Artest said with disdain: "Humph, this is not a game of house for women."

Artest's aggressive defense was sometimes overcome by the opponent.

But this is what the Zen Master wants to see.

In the semi-transition offense, Ronnie Brewer induced a start after receiving the ball. Although he did not completely get rid of Artest, he combined the ball in advance and dodged Artest when he tried to steal the ball.

But at this moment, Zhou Ze was like a 711-foot-high, insurmountable mountain.

This immediately discouraged Ronnie Brewer from climbing over. In a short period of time, he did not find any teammates with good opportunities, but the arrow was on the string and had to be shot, so Ronnie Brewer chose to stop and shoot from mid-range.

"when!"

Naturally, the shot missed. After all, it is difficult for most NBA players to hit a quick stop shot in such a short time, with Artest behind him and Zhou Ze's jump shot in front of him.

The basketball bounced out of the frame.

Opponents shooting like this is what the Lakers want to see most in the new season.

Drive the defensive players to Zhou Ze's defensive area, forcing them to shoot in the most uncomfortable posture and the most uncomfortable rhythm.

Zhou Ze grabbed the rebound and passed it to Rondo, who started a fast break with the ball.

Rondo passed the ball to Zhou Ze who was running down the middle, and Zhou Ze used his elbow to pass the ball again.

It seemed to be given to Kobe who was following up on the right, but in fact it was given to Birdman Anderson.

Unfortunately, however, this elbow pass was too sexy, not only fooling the opponent, but also successfully fooling his teammates.

This caused the fans at the scene to sigh with regret.

Zhou Ze used elbow passes very frequently in this game, but none of them were successful.

Either the teammates made a mistake or the pass was not accurate enough.

What's even worse is...

Kobe and Zhou Ze were 2v1 against Deron Williams in the frontcourt, and Zhou Ze even used his elbow to pass the ball.

Kobe was tricked and failed to receive the ball, which led to a mistake.

"asshole..."

"It's over or not..."

"Why don't you just give it to me directly? Why are you using your elbow to pass it to me?"
