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

Arenas, like all-stars of this era, likes to play tit-for-tat and "superstar ball" games, and he is always able to boost team morale through his extreme personal offense.

However, the Lakers have two such guys.

After Arenas turned around to celebrate, Kobe immediately retaliated by hitting a three-pointer against the defense.

This gave Arenas and the Wizards a deep sense of powerlessness.

I finally saw a glimmer of hope, but it was extinguished in an instant.

Not only that...

In addition to being able to hit difficult three-pointers, Zhou Ze also "aided and abetted the tiger", using "Kobe-style assists" to grab offensive rebounds and score tips.

It is worth mentioning that in recent games, Zhou Ze has been able to receive more and more "Kobe-style assists".

The Wizards player defending Zhou Ze is Jamison.

Wizards center Brendan Haywood's speed and footwork were completely unable to keep up with Zhou Ze. He would be open wherever he ran, so it was naturally impossible for him to defend him.

...

...

After a crossover step, Kobe suddenly lowered his body and accelerated, passing the 201cm tall Jarvis Hayes in one step. While moving, he encountered help defense from the opponent. Kobe took the ball and took a European step, but was still interfered by Haywood under the basket and missed the shot.

Zhou Ze, well prepared outside the three-point line, faced Jamison, who was defending him, and first faked a shot to the left. After noticing the opponent's center of gravity shift, he immediately dived to the right. Although Zhou Ze's explosive acceleration ability was not strong, he was strong enough to squeeze past him if he lost his center of gravity. Zhou Ze forced his way past Jamison and was the first to grab the rebound of Kobe's missed shot and scored the tip-in.

40 is better than 51!

The Lakers widened the gap to double digits for the second time at 7 minutes and 19 seconds in the second quarter.

At the same time, this was also Zhou Ze's third offensive rebound tonight, which completely made up for the two defensive rebounds he lost on the defensive end.

In addition to the players' personal abilities and team tactics, rebounding also depends on luck.

Zhou Ze had good luck tonight, at least on the offensive rebounds.

"Kobe, nice-pass!" After scoring the goal, Zhou Ze, who was returning to defense, did not forget to make fun of Kobe's missed layup.

Kobe first rolled his eyes. He had already scored 15 points with a hit rate of over 50%. How dare you mock me for being so tough?

But then I thought about it...

This bastard is currently 6 of 5 from the field and 2 of 2 from three tonight.

In terms of hit rate, it does seem to qualify.

Seeing Zhou Ze trying to overthrow Tian Gang, Kobe Bryant deliberately moved closer and elbowed him silently. Of course, it was a gentle elbow, and even if he was elbowed, he would not be affected except for a little pain.

But Zhou Ze dodged quickly, as if it was a conditioned reflex.

"Asshole, you hid quickly!" Kobe laughed in silence.

"Hehe...I have to thank you for the 89 duels with you!" Zhou Ze said with a smile.

Kobe: ...

...

...

50 is better than 64!

At the end of the first half, the Wizards were already 14 points behind. Even though Arenas scored 19 points in the first half, it was not inferior to Kobe's 20 points.

But the other Wizards players can only provide limited help.

Kwame Brown had 3 points and 3 rebounds in the first half, but he held Jamison to 8 for 2, a 25% shooting percentage, and 2 for 1 free throws, for a total of 5 points. You know, Jamison is the Wizards' strong point in the interior.

In addition, Zhou Ze scored 16 points, 6 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 assist in the first half.

The Lakers' core players inside and outside the court all performed well, and the other players played hard on defense. The Wizards couldn't stop them, and it seemed that they were about to completely collapse in the third quarter.

The Wizards coaching staff discussed this matter during the half-time break. If they wanted to hold Kobe down, the price they would have to pay would be too high, and it would easily cause the Lakers to bloom all over.

"Brandon, starting in the second half, you have to play against more players, use your physical advantage to crush them, and consume the opposing rookie as much as possible." Wizards coach Eddie Jordan made the decision to let Brandon, who was not very good at independent offense, go to play against Zhou Ze.

Consume his energy!

Let his muscle memory be disrupted!

...

...

After the start of the second half, after Brandon made four consecutive low-post singles against Zhou Ze, Eddie Jordan immediately requested a timeout.

no way!

Unable to hit!

Eddie Jordan found that Zhou Ze's lower body was as solid as a rock and his center of gravity was low, while Haywood had no footwork in the interior.

No hook shot or turnaround jump shot.

If it comes down to pure strength, Haywood, who is 213cm tall and weighs 122kg, would hardly be able to move Zhou Ze, whose strength attribute is [118] and weighs 115kg.

In addition, what made Eddie Jordan even more depressed was that Zhou Ze successfully intercepted two of Haywood's half-turn sinking steps.

Every time Zhou Ze would quickly steal the ball the moment Haywood turned around and passed it to him.

but...

Haywood's strong inside attack did interfere with Zhou Ze's three-point shooting. He missed both of his first two three-point shots in the third quarter, including a wide-open shot.

But on the third shot, Zhou Ze seemed to have regained his touch.

Take decisive action!

Look back with confidence!

Turn around and celebrate!

The most important thing is that the three-pointer was hit!

"Brother, is that right?" Zhou Ze turned around to celebrate his success and said to Arenas on the court with a smile.

Arenas was stunned, and at this moment, he felt a little heavy.

The scoreboard shows 59 to 78!

The score difference is almost reaching 20 points.

There are only 2 minutes left until the end of the third quarter.

The Wizards don't have much time left to catch up.

In the next round, Arenas changed direction to shift the center of gravity of Death God Parker. His left foot seemed to step forward, forcing Parker to take a big step back. Then, Arenas retracted his left foot, jumped up quickly, and shot a three-pointer.

Parker's jumping ability seemed to be "sealed" by Arenas. He could hardly jump and could only watch Arenas take a three-pointer.

Arenas, who was bullied by Zhou Ze, naturally wanted to respond with an answer-ball.

However...

This time, he was embarrassed.

The basketball that seemed to be going into the basket steadily actually bounced around and flew out.

Zhou Ze looked at Arenas on the court and was surprised to see Nick Young's classic expression.

After Arenas missed this shot, the game was basically over.
