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

The Lakers' crazy performance shocked the entire league.

The Boston Celtics, another favorite to win the championship this season, played against the Chicago Bulls the next day. Sharpshooter Ray Allen made 18 of 10 three-pointers and scored 51 points.

While setting a new career playoff scoring high, he also broke the NBA playoff three-pointer record.

The previous record for three-pointers made in the playoffs was nine, held jointly by Ray Allen, Vince Carter, and Rex Chapman.

It is worth mentioning that Tracy McGrady, the former Rockets' star guard, contributed a triple-double of 14 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists in this game.

The Celtics' outstanding performance in the first round also made their championship odds rise rapidly.

Zhou Ze was quite surprised when he learned about this.

In his previous life, Ray Allen did score 51 points in this year's playoffs against the Bulls, but that was in the game on May 2009, 5.

In addition, he only made 9 three-pointers in a single game.

But then I thought about it...

Right.

In the previous life of the Celtics, Kevin Garnett was injured in the playoffs, and without Tracy McGrady joining the team, the overall strength of the team would definitely be far less than it is now.

After joining the Celtics, McGrady's personality has become completely mature.

"Kobe, although I wasted a lot of time, I will stand in front of you in the end." McGrady expressed his true feelings to the media reporters after the game.

also...

Ray Allen, who set the three-point shooting record, said with a smile in an interview with media reporters: "To be honest, I don't think my record will last too long. Maybe he will break it tomorrow!"

"Lei, are you referring to Zhou when you say he?" the reporter asked knowingly.

"Who else could it be?" Ray Allen asked with a smile.

...

...

On April 2009, 4, the Lakers' Game 21 began.

It will still be held at the Lakers' home court - Staples Center.

The Hornets, who were badly beaten by the Lakers in Game 1, adjusted their defensive strategy and chose to defend Zhou Ze closely throughout the court.

But they have not emerged from their slump.

Zhou Ze continued with his "Sun Day" mode.

In the first quarter alone, he made three three-pointers, two of which were ultra-long three-pointers from two meters outside the three-point line.

He made 6 of 3 three-pointers, with an astonishing hit rate of 50%.

David West, who was defending closely, couldn't catch up with Zhou Ze at all. With his quick stops and starts, he could easily pass David West.

The first quarter of the game is over.

24 to 40, the Hornets trailed the Lakers by 16 points.

...

...

At 3 minutes and 09 seconds into the second quarter, Zhou Ze received the ball in half court. Facing the close defense of David West, he first made a skillful change of hands between his legs, switching the ball from his left hand to his right hand. The next second, "boom!", Zhou Ze made a powerful one-handed blast, seemingly trying to break through from the left. David West moved quickly and got stuck on the left. However, Zhou Ze did not break through at all, but only had a tendency to sprint forward.

Then, with a "bang!", he made a signature front-end change of direction, like a pendulum, flashing to David West's right side, and then with a "whoosh!", he accelerated and sprinted. In this instant, he broke the Hornets' defensive formation.

Tyson Chandler, the Hornets' center, had no choice but to turn into a death cape and committed his third foul of the game before he managed to pull Zhou Ze down.

Although Zhou Ze's finishing ability is strong...

But no matter how strong you are, it is impossible to easily achieve 2+1.

“Tomato!”

Zhou Ze, who almost scored, swung a heavy punch at the air.

His face was filled with grief and he seemed to be blaming himself very much.

This also made Tyson Chandler, who was knocked to the ground and waiting for his teammates to help him up, speechless, as if saying: "I am like this, and you are still not satisfied?"

...

...

Zhou Ze, whose offensive range covers half the court, has always been an unsolvable problem for the Hornets.

There is more to initiating a breakthrough from midfield than just forcing a shot to the basket.

Zhou Ze can take a three-pointer while holding the ball when he reaches the three-point line.

You can also complete a quick stop mid-range shot from anywhere within the three-point line.

"Wow!"

"Logo-shoot, it's crazy."

“This is unbelievable…”

"After he grabbed the rebound from the backcourt, he dribbled past half court and shot a three-pointer."

As the commentator on the scene exclaimed one after another, the atmosphere in the stadium had reached its peak, and Zhou Ze's score continued to rise.

Halftime ended.

48 is better than 72!

Although the Lakers' lead was not big, only 24 points.

But Zhou Ze's personal score has reached 36 points.

Three-pointers, 13 of 6.

He is still four away from setting the record for three-pointers made in a single playoff game, which Ray Allen just broke yesterday.

...

...

In the second half, Zhou Ze's three-point shooting began to cool down.

First, he took a three-pointer in a half-open position, but missed the shot.

Immediately afterwards, facing Tyson Chandler's mismatched defense, Zhou Ze used the rhythm of his dribbling to shake the defense and created a good shooting opportunity, but it was also a little bit off and missed again.

Compared with Ray Allen, who set a three-point record in this year's playoffs, Zhou Ze faces more severe defense.

In addition, Zhou Ze mostly shoots after dribbling.

but...

This did not affect Zhou Ze's shooting confidence at all.

First, he faced Paul's big opponent on the defensive end and used his excellent static talent to complete a standing block.

Soon, he completed an "in-your-face" three-pointer against Paul's defense.

"Chris!"

“You’re so useful!”

“Thank you for showing up!”

After Zhou Ze scored the goal, he politely thanked Paul.

But the young Paul was impolite and directly said "shit" to Zhou Ze.

And this ball...

It was as if Zhou Ze had regained his three-point shooting touch.

At the end of the first three quarters, Zhou Ze's personal score reached 54 points and he made 10 three-pointers.

The game entered the fourth quarter...

Zhou Ze's "shooting bag" seemed to be lost again; of course, this was not because Zhou Ze's basic three-point data was not high, but because Zhou Ze's shooting range was too far and the defensive intensity he encountered was high.

In order to break Ray Allen's three-point record, he missed shots one after another.

This also led to the score difference in the game narrowing.

The 39-point deficit at the start of the fourth quarter...

After 2 minutes and 11 seconds, the score difference was 32 points.

After 4 minutes and 19 seconds, the score difference was "only" 30 points.

Since the game was played at the Lakers' home court, the fans were very supportive of Zhou Ze's desire to break the three-point record.

At 5 minutes and 08 seconds...

This historic moment has finally arrived.

Zhou Ze first ducked and accelerated, passing David West. Paul who was nearby immediately came over to assist in defense. Zhou Ze didn't even raise his eyelids, and raised his hand to shoot a three-pointer.

Paul has a good habit when defending opponents' shots, which is never jumping.

Um...

After all, in his rookie season, Paul was often troubled by Zhou Ze's "big loop".

"Shh!"

The basketball hit the net.

"Wow!"

"Wow!"

"Wow!"

The Lakers' home fans cheered in surprise.

Chris Paul put his head in his hands in frustration.

Damn!

He made it happen again!!!

Damn!

Being his background again!!!
