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

With 200 peak points, you can participate in a random draw.

After returning home, Zhou Ze decisively chose to draw the lottery.

The system's voice sounded again.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for getting a new badge - Catch and Shoot (Bronze).]

【Catch and Shoot (Bronze)】Function Introduction:

1. Improve the three-point shooting ability after catching the ball, three-point attribute +5.

2. To advance to the next level (Silver), you need to make 5000 three-pointers after catching the ball during games or training.

...

...

[Three-Point Agent] Increases the three-point attribute by +5 when taking a pull-up jump shot or a turnaround shot.

[Catch and Shoot] increases the three-point attribute after catching the ball by +5.

The problem is coming.

If you just catch the ball and then jump and shoot a three-pointer, like most shooters, you can only trigger [Catch and Shoot (Bronze)], and the three-point attribute is +5, reaching [99].

However, if you are outside the three-point line and turn around to shoot after receiving the ball, you can trigger [Catch and Shoot (Bronze)] and [Three-Point Agent (Bronze)] at the same time, and the three-point attribute is +10, up to [104];

This is the three-point shooting ability of an [ordinary shooter].

...

...

There are still a few days before the start of the NBA regular season. In addition to training with the team, Zhou Ze is also doing extra training on his own.

Zhou Ze or Kobe is always the first player to arrive at the training hall.

Looking at Zhou Ze's hard work in training, Kobe secretly praised him but also had many puzzles.

Although you have short arms, you still have the physique of a proper power forward, with the strength of a center. You don't think about how to improve your crude low-post footwork, and you spend the whole day like a wimp, shooting three-pointers.

The team's offensive methods during training are mainly three-pointers...

What annoyed Kobe the most was that he liked to turn around and shoot from outside the three-point line.

If the defense is very tight, it's acceptable for you to turn around and shoot, but the opponent's defense is obviously not keeping up, and you're still turning around and shooting a three-pointer.

Kobe Bryant praised Zhou Ze a lot during the game for his shots which were not difficult at all but increased the difficulty on his own.

"Damn rookie, can you please stop being so reckless?"

"Shit! There's no one defending you, and you turn around and shoot!"

But Zhou Ze's response always comes so promptly. In addition to retorting with words, Zhou Ze also responded to Kobe's criticism of his "wasted shot" with practical actions.

"Kobe, do you know what a superstar ball is?" Zhou Ze faced Kwame Brown, the famous bust No. 1 pick in the NBA, turned around and made a three-pointer, then shot at Kobe's face.

Kobe shook his head speechlessly and pushed Zhou Ze away.

...

...

During his NCAA period, Zhou Ze, one of the five young players in North Carolina, had a hot temper and elbowed his opponents on the court and his teammates off the court, but Zhou Ze's emotional intelligence was not low at all and his personal charm was full.

The same was true after he was selected by the NBA and came to the Los Angeles Lakers. Apart from the confrontation with Kobe, he got along well with other teammates.

Andrew Byram, a fellow rookie.

Andrew Byram, born on October 1987, 10, entered the NBA after graduating from high school and is also the youngest player in the league's history.

Of course, Byram is still very well-behaved now, and his babyish personality has not been exposed.

Andrew Byram admires his fellow rookie Zhou Ze very much. After all, when he was training with the team, he was scolded by Kobe for making a mistake and he dared not say a word.

But Zhou Ze not only dared to fight back in person, he even responded with an elbow.

Well...

wrong!

There is another person who does not get along with Zhou Ze.

Sasha Vujacic from Slovenia was selected by the Lakers with the 27th pick in the first round last year.

Make sense.

Zhou Ze also didn't understand why Wu Jacichi was so hostile to him, as if he had stolen his wife.

...

...

Staples Center!

Lakers home stadium!

Time flies, and the Lakers usher in the opening game of the regular season.

Denver Nuggets vs. Los Angeles Lakers.

Zhou Ze played as a substitute. Logically speaking, it was impossible for Zhou Ze to appear on the court at 4 minutes and 21 seconds in the first quarter.

But they couldn't withstand the "crazy" efforts of the bust No. 1 pick Kwame Brown.

In addition to watching Carmelo Anthony break through to the basket and dunk with both hands, he also wasted the opponent's wonderful passes twice in a row with butter hands.

"Zhou, your time is up."

"calm down."

"Be reasonable."

After requesting a timeout, Zen Master Phil Jackson did not forget to give instructions to Zhou Ze who was about to take the court.

"I understand!" Zhou Ze nodded.

Seeing Zhou Ze agree so readily, the Zen Master couldn't help but shook his head subconsciously.

This rookie obviously didn't take what he said to heart, he was just being perfunctory.

For most NBA rookies, when they join a team with superstars, the coach will ask them to relax and take decisive shots, but it is completely different for Zhou Ze.

The Zen Master hopes Zhou Ze can stay calm and not act recklessly!

"Fuck, the person defending you just now was Andre Miller, and you actually passed the ball back to me."

"Shit!!! When there's a good opportunity, you have to attack decisively."

On his way back to the bench, Kobe did not forget to attack Cam Brown crazily.

This fake No. 1 draft pick who looks like Jordan was scolded so hard that he couldn't even breathe.

Just as Kobe finished saying "take the shot," he saw Zhou Ze, who had taken off his training clothes and was smiling at him. Kobe quickly turned his head away, thinking to himself, "I probably didn't speak loudly just now...that damn rookie must not have heard clearly."

...

...

The score on the field is 12:10, and the Los Angeles Lakers are currently two points behind.

The pause ends.

The two sides are about to fight again.

There is almost no difference between the two teams' lineups and starting lineups, the only difference is that the Lakers' power forward is replaced by Zhou Ze.

Lakers lineup: Smush Parker, Kobe Bryant, Lamar Odom, Zhou Ze and Chris Mihm.

Nuggets lineup: Andre Miller, Washan Leonard, Carmelo Anthony, Kenyon Martin and Marcus Camby.

When Zhou Ze, wearing the No. 0 jersey, stepped onto the court, there were a lot of boos at the Lakers' home court.

Fans expressed strong dissatisfaction with Zhou Ze, who elbowed Kobe.

But at this moment, Kobe took the initiative to come up to Zhou Ze and had an intimate and friendly interaction with him.

The two performed a set of moves that fans considered "complex" and "cool".

Well...

Zhou Ze was not impressed by this action.

In Zhou Ze's eyes, this complex and cool interactive action is like kindergarten children playing "You clap once, I clap once".

But no way...

This is part of NBA culture after all.

Of course, the interaction between Kobe and Zhou Ze directly broke the rumors of discord in the team's locker room, and also made many Kobe fans and Lakers fans change from "booing" to "applause."

"drop!"

The referee whistle sounded.

The game continues.
