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

"Oh, no!"

"Oh, no!"

"OMG!"

"Kobe has scored the same goal three times in a row."

"This is a terrible defense for Dallas!"

TNT live broadcast commentator Charles Barkley said gloatingly.

Actually...

What Barkley said was not true.

The first time, Jets player Terry did not squeeze over, and Kobe got an open shot.

But in the next two times, Jets player John Terry squeezed over, but at 2cm tall, it was difficult for him to interfere with Kobe's shooting.

In terms of static talent, Kobe is not as good as McGrady.

In terms of running and jumping talent, Kobe is not as good as Carter.

But Kobe's talent at the No. 2 position is at least at the second-highest level.

For Kobe, Jets Terry's defense was almost the same as having nothing.

Not long after, Kobe did the same thing in a Lakers positional attack, but this time Dampier wanted to help with defense.

The moment Kobe came up to help defend, he saw Zhou Ze in an open space under the basket.

Three feet in front of him, this is Kobe's passing range.

But Kobe didn't choose to pass the ball.

He chose to pull up before the double-team was fully formed.

This shot was very Kobe-esque.

Kobe, with a hot hand, felt that this shot could go in.

However, Zhou Ze, who was standing under the basket at this moment, wanted to say, "I don't care what you think, I care what I think."

"Bang!"

The basketball bounced out of the basket, and Zhou Ze jumped up and grabbed the rebound with one hand.

"Snapped!"

The big hands were like suction cups, firmly controlling the ball.

Seeing this, Dampier wanted to go back to defend, but for a squatting inside player, once he jumped out, he couldn't get it back. He lacked explosive power and agility, so in order to stop Zhou Ze, he had to choose to foul.

However...

The next moment, Dampier found that he didn't even have time to commit a foul.

The speed of Zhou Ze's second jump exceeded his expectations.

"boom!"

Zhou Ze slammed the ball into the basket.

Zhou Ze, hanging on the basket, looked down at Dampier who was about to walk to the baseline.

After noticing Zhou Ze's teasing and mocking look, Dampier pushed Zhou Ze who was hanging on the basket.

Zhou Ze then fell down and elbowed him with his backhand.

"drop!"

The referee whistle sounded.

Zhou Ze's action was caught by the Mavericks' home referee, who directly called a technical foul.

Cheers rang out at the Mavericks' home stadium.

"Shit, damn it!"

"Is this referee blind? It was clearly that idiot Dampier who started the provocation."

The person who said this was not a Lakers player, nor was he Charles Barkley, a super fan in the TNT live broadcast room.

It certainly wasn't the Dallas players, coaches, or Mark Cuban, who was sitting courtside watching.

That's right.

It was Chris Paul in front of the TV who regarded Zhou Ze as his "lifelong enemy".

Paul was really worried that Zhou Ze would be sent off too early.

If the Mavericks win the game, things will be troublesome.

Dirk Nowitzki shoots a technical free throw.

Two free throws!

Dirk Nowitzki made the first free throw, bringing the score difference back to 9 points.

The second free throw, Nowitzki hit it again.

24 to 16, the Mavericks trailed by 8 points.

After two free throws, the Mavericks still had the ball.

Jason Kidd dribbled to the top of the arc and began to organize the team's offense. With a surgical pass, he passed the ball to Dirk Nowitzki.

The person defending Nowitzki was Chris Webber.

Over the past two seasons, Nowitzki has gained weight and strengthened his post-up offense. This season, he has fully developed his "one-legged stand." However, facing Webber's defense, Nowitzki didn't need to use it too early. He simply drove directly to the basket, then paused to avoid the defense, deceived Zhou Ze's defense, and chose a low layup.

...

...

In the first quarter of the game, although Kobe was in good shape, he made 10 of 7 shots, 3 of 2 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws, scoring 20 points, 2 rebounds and 1 steal.

但德克-诺维茨基8投6中，三分球4中3，罚球6中5，单节也拿到了20分1篮板1盖帽。

It’s just that the performance of teammates is very different.

不谈别的，周泽4中4，三分球1中1，罚球5中5，14分4篮板1助攻1帽1抢断。

The rest of the Mavericks' teammates only scored 11 points in total.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led the Mavericks by 40 points, 31 to 9.

The game entered the second quarter.

Kobe and Zhou Ze came on the court 4 minutes into the game.

In the past period of time, the Mavericks' Stackhouse led the team to a small climax, 10-3, narrowing the gap to only 2 points.

43 is better than 41!

...

...

"Wow!"

"Finally, it's on stage!"

"Zhou, you have to win!"

Chris Paul, in front of the TV, clasped his hands together and prayed for Zhou Ze and the Lakers.

Zhou Ze attempted a mid-range shot as soon as he came on the court.

Despite the buff of [Mid-range Shooting King (Purple Gold)], it was still a little short.

"Fuck!"

"Zhou, you're playing me!"

"You just want to bully me in the first round of the playoffs!"

Paul, who was watching TV, immediately gritted his teeth and started cursing at Zhou Ze.

This mid-range shot didn't go very far.

Dampier, who was responsible for defending Zhou Ze, made the first move to block the position, but Zhou Ze, who possessed the [Positioning Monster (Purple Gold)], snatched the position and successfully counter-blocked him before his position was fully formed.

Zhou Ze grabbed the ball and shot it himself, while Dampier behind him pulled Zhou Ze's jersey.

The purple-gold battle robe was almost pulled like a dress, which greatly affected Zhou Ze's bullet speed.

In addition, Dirk Nowitzki quickly returned to defense.

Nowitzki's defense is certainly not excellent, but it is not bad either. At least it is at an average level for the same position.

It’s just that this era requires superstars to be both offensive and defensive.

You have to be the best offensive player on the team, and at the same time, the best defensive player on the team.

Zhou Ze, whose jersey was being pulled, was disturbed by Nowitzki's long arms, and his arms had obvious downward movements, but unfortunately, in this era, such defense is often not called.

"Bang!"

Zhou Ze missed the shot.

Nowitzki and Dampier, two 7-foot inside players, did not choose to fight for the rebound, but instead double-teamed Zhou Ze who grabbed the rebound.

Zhou Ze quickly passed the ball to Webber who was wide open outside the three-point line.

The latter made a three-pointer.

"Bang!"

Blacksmithing.

The three continued to fight under the basket.

Zhou Ze pushed Nowitzki away with one hand.

One hand squeezed Dampier.

As the basketball fell, the three of them jumped at almost the same time.
