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

Week 23 of the NBA regular season.

The Lakers have a total of 4 regular season games.

The opponent in the first game is the Clippers in the same city.

Although it was the Clippers' home court, most of the fans in the stands were wearing Lakers jerseys.

Before the game started, players from both sides began to greet each other.

"Man, how's it feel to be a dad?" Zach Randolph, who was traded from the Knicks to the Clippers late this season, asked with a laugh.

"Haha, it's quite fun." Zhou Ze said.

The big boy "Zhou Yan" is already one month old and is a lot bigger than other children of the same age.

The hands are large, the arms are long, the neck is short, and the bones are broad.

This makes his godfather "Kobe Bryant" drool with envy...

According to Vanessa and Sharapova, every time Kobe saw Zhou Yan, he would go home and beat up his own son "Avada".

Arvada Bryant.

He is also Zhou Ze's adopted son.

His body proportions, hand size and appearance are simply a replica of Kobe.

In terms of personality, Avada is not much like Kobe, but more like Vanessa.

But Kobe doesn't like Arvada very much. Instead, he likes his second daughter Gianna more.

Gianna has excellent physical talents and a personality exactly like Kobe's. She is extremely competitive and always beats her twin brother Avada until he cries for his parents.

Randolph and Zhou Ze have a close relationship.

Very good personal relationship.

Randolph has invited Zhou Ze to his birthday party for the past two years.

You know, the entire Lakers team only invited Zhou Ze.

After joining the Clippers, Randolph was able to stabilize his statistics at 20+10, and the team achieved a winning rate of more than 5%.

It's just that Randolph is not on the Clippers' rebuilding list.

The Clippers set their sights on the 09 draft.

Blake Griffin, a hot candidate for the No. 1 pick, who performed well in March Madness, is the Clippers' primary target.

...

...

The Clippers' starting twin towers tonight are Zach Randolph and Brian Skinner.

Both of them are only 206cm tall.

As for the Clippers' second-round pick this year, DeAndre Jordan, his skills are too rough and he is only a substitute for the team.

Randolph's positioning was very solid, and even Zhou Ze had difficulty in getting a good position.

However, Randolph was limited by his height and could not withstand Zhou Ze's "flying board".

To put it more professionally, it means grabbing rebounds.

When paired with Marc Gasol, Zhou Ze can safely assist in defense and sweep the court, similar to Kevin Garnett of the Celtics.

When forming a twin tower with McGee and Birdman, Zhou Ze plays more of a role of squatting to protect the rim, and his role is similar to that of Tim Duncan of the Spurs.

Tonight, Zhou Ze is starting alongside Marc Gasol...

The first half of the game was normal.

The Clippers only lost by 5 rebounds.

Well...

Zhou Ze's luck is really not good, the rebound ball always lands too far away from him.

And my teammates are not strong enough, so their accuracy is a bit outrageous.

In the second half of the game, Zhou Ze's luck gradually improved. After judging where the rebound would land, he rushed forward to grab it.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

Zhou Ze successfully grabbed the rebound over Randolph's head three times in a row.

After Randolph was once again grabbed the offensive rebound by Zhou Ze, he rushed to grab the ball and the two of them instantly hugged and fell into each other.

The next moment...

Zhou Ze knocked Randolph down directly.

The referee's whistle sounded in time.

Quickly came between the two of them.

The Lakers coaching staff was also extremely nervous.

Zhou Ze just had his suspension lifted not long ago...

Don't go in again.

But the next second...

Everyone was speechless.

Lan Doufu, who was knocked to the ground, laughed and even took Zhou Ze's outstretched right hand and climbed up.

Zhou Ze patted Randolph's butt hard.

Randolph returned it.

...

...

This made Kobe, who was standing next to him, roll his eyes.

He really couldn't figure out what kind of deformed friendship there was between the two.

Zhou Ze and Randolph are true friends.

But trash talk was still flying everywhere on the court.

Randolph used a rolling knife-like attack, with his body almost sticking to Zhou Ze, and took advantage of the fleeting opening to shoot. Just like a non-fixed shot, it was weird and strange.

Although the hit rate is not high.

Even 4 Chengdu does not have it.

But you know...

Facing Zhou Ze's one-on-one defense, he was able to have a hit rate of more than 3%, which is rare in the entire league.

"Zhou, did you stay up late to take care of the kids last night? How come you can't even defend a ball like this?" Randolph grinned after making a half-court shot.

Soon, Zhou Ze overpowered Randolph in the low post, and with a connecting step dunk, he created an and-one for Randolph.

"Zack, you're as soft as my son's diaper right now," Zhou Ze mocked.

The physical fight between the two in the interior makes people's hearts surge and their blood boil.

...

...

"Snapped!"

Brian Skinner heard the sound of a hand hitting a basketball again.

I looked up and saw it was him...

It's him...

It's him again!!!

Zhou Ze flew up the board again.

This left Brian Skinner speechless.

He had clearly gotten into position and was about to touch the basketball, but Zhou Ze snatched the offensive rebound over his head.

[Rebound Master (Purple Gold)] Enhances Zhou Ze's jumping speed, jumping height, explosiveness, and rebounding awareness. Zhou Ze can easily and accurately predict the landing point of the rebound and reach it quickly.

In addition, even if the opponent is in a good position, you can still rush and grab the ball over your head with an absolute bounce.

"Oh! no!"

"That's the 11th offensive rebound of the week...of the quarter."

"Surpassed Thurmond's single-quarter record of 10."

"Became the single-quarter offensive rebounding king in NBA history."

"Also, Zhou...his single-quarter rebounds also reached 17, just one away from tying Thurmond."

"Zhou, can he win the single-quarter rebounding title again tonight?"

"There are only 50 seconds left in the third quarter."

Zhou Ze only needs to grab one more defensive rebound to tie the game.

However...

Randolph, his opponent and friend, stood up at this time. Even though he was almost blocked, he raised the arc and hit two difficult half-court shots.

His shooting percentage in this game was forced to increase to 40%.

As for offensive rebounds, Randolph and Brian Skinner also worked hard to prevent Zhou Ze from being crowned the single-quarter rebounding champion in their home court.

...

...

Randolph's tough performance at the critical moment made the Clippers fans who hated him couldn't help but applaud.

In the coaching booth, Mike Dunleavy and his assistant coaches were also discussing Randolph.

"Boss, do you really think we should give up on Zach Randolph next season?"

"Ah."

"It's a shame, Zach... He's the best active center against Zhou."

"Yes. But he can't be so committed in every game..."

"He's not the right person for us."

...

...

The first three quarters of the game are over.

107 is better than 80!

The Lakers lead their opponents by 27 points.

It has become garbage time.
