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

In addition to Kenyon Martin, Nene and even Carmelo Anthony of the Denver Nuggets called to ask "Ancestor Zhou Ze" how to limit Dirk Nowitzki.

For Dirk Nowitzki, the best player in the league at defending him one-on-one is indeed Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze did not hide his incompetence and selflessly shared his experience with the players who came to ask, but Kenyon Martin and Anthony were both confused.

They all knew the little defensive secrets Zhou Ze mentioned, and they all used them, but they didn't work at all.

If Anthony didn't know Zhou Ze well and knew that he was not that kind of person, he would have mistakenly thought that Zhou Ze was fooling around and pretending to be generous.

...

...

On the eve of G3.

In addition to instructing the Nuggets players on how to defend "Dirk Nowitzki", Zhou Ze also upgraded [Unlimited Range] to "Gold".

【Unlimited Range (Gold)】Function Introduction:

1. Expand the shooting range and significantly reduce the negative impact of long-range shooting.

2. To advance to the next level (Purple and Gold), you need to make a cumulative total of 500 ultra-long three-pointers in games or training.

On the night of the game.

When Zhou Ze walked out of the away player tunnel, the Hornets fans booed him like crazy.

The Lakers players are no stranger to boos of this magnitude.

Even rookies JaVale McGee and Marc Gasol didn't show any unusual expression on their faces.

You know, at the beginning of the season, JaVale McGee was so scared by such a large-scale booing that he made a face of embarrassment.

"Man, do you think these guys can last until the fourth quarter tonight?" Little Potato joked half-jokingly.

The "those guys" he mentioned were not Hornets players, but Hornets home fans. In last year's playoffs, the Lakers created the largest point difference in NBA playoff history - 58 points.

But not many Hornets fans watched the entire game.

Many home fans were too scared to look at the miserable state of their home team and left the stadium early.

"I hope they can hold on a little longer this year," said Metta World Peace with a smile.

"I don't know if the Hornets' management has listened to my suggestion and given each of their home fans a box of throat lozenges," Odom said playfully.

As the champions of the past two years, the Lakers, apart from the occasional comedian, have a strong aura that is truly undeniable. You can tell at first glance that they are veterans who have been through many battles.

Amid the boos from the Hornets, the Lakers players were chatting and laughing.

This extremely "divided" scene was captured by the cameramen on the scene.

...

...

The Hornets, Alexander, are currently 0-2 and trailing the Lakers by a large margin.

The first to be affected is Chris Paul.

Nowadays, more and more media say that they are overestimated by the outside world.

If Zhou Ze swept the team in the playoffs for two consecutive years, Chris Paul would not dare to open his phone for the entire holiday.

Hornets coach Byron Scott made some adjustments to his defensive strategy tonight.

First: He planned to let Rasual Butler defend Zhou Ze. David West's footsteps were too slow, and once Zhou Ze got the ball on the perimeter, David West would be no different from a wooden stake.

Even worse, if Zhou Ze attacked the basket, David West had no good way to stop him and was forced to double-team him. However, Zhou Ze had developed his passing ability over the past two years, and the Hornets could only rely on the Lakers' inaccurate outside shooting.

Second: Thanks to Chris Paul, Zhou Ze is immune to the Hornets' "dog-licking" defense. However, Byron Scott, the "founder of the dog-licking defense" during the Danzi era, disagrees. As long as the licking is good, he has no doubt that Zhou Ze's "epidemic prevention system" will not be loose.

The Hornets' starting players are the same as in the first two games, only the opposing defenders have changed.

On the contrary, the Lakers' Phil Jackson used the "Death Five" right from the start.

Zhou Ze was pushed to center position.

The team's starting number 4 position is played by Chris Webber, who is synonymous with glamour.

...

...

After the game officially started, Hornets' small forward Rasual Butler, a man with a simple appearance, resolutely implemented "Dog Defense 3.0".

"Hey man, does your coach think I can't play inside?" Zhou Ze asked with amusement.

Looking at Zhou Ze's tone and expression, Rasual Butler's heart tightened. He knew very well that if he said a wrong word, Zhou Ze would be furious.

"No, no, no!" Rasual Butler's head shook like a rattle, and he quickly explained, "Zhou, you misunderstood. You are the strongest player in the league. In my mind, you are even more dominant than Shaquille in his prime."

"Mr. Byron asked me to defend you because he thought our inside players couldn't keep up with your pace. Also, we couldn't stop you from scoring in the paint."

...

...

Rasual Butler said a lot.

Although this did not shake Zhou Ze's "epidemic prevention system", it did not cause Zhou Ze to enter a "frenzy state".

Rasual Butler's footwork is indeed fast, and it is difficult for Zhou Ze to completely get rid of him in positional battles and get a chance to shoot in a wide-open position.

As for the basket offense...

The Hornets went all out and double-teamed Zhou Ze "insanely".

The one who was let go was not someone else...

It is the gorgeous veteran - Chris Webber.

The Hornets let it go 4 times.

The first two shots were missed.

The last two hits.

This made the Hornets coach Byron Scott, who was dressed in a suit on the sidelines, frown for a moment.

Do you want to continue playing it?

Just as he was thinking, Webber received a breakthrough pass from Kobe in the high post, took a step forward, leaned on David West, paused for a moment, confirmed that David West had jumped, then jumped quickly, "whoosh!", and completed a low-hand layup.

"What!"

David West's face was filled with helplessness. He really couldn't understand why Webber, who was already at the end of his career, still had such fast skills.

At the same time, Byron Scott, the head coach, was also overwhelmed.

Not only did he fail to suppress Zhou Ze and Kobe tonight, he also allowed Chris Webber to get into the game.

...

...

Paul held the ball on the outside and asked David West to come forward for a screen. Paul lowered his center of gravity, tested left and right, and started on the right. Rondo did not follow up immediately, and Paul went straight to the basket. Zhou Ze on the other side quickly came over to make up for the defense.

Paul dribbled the ball and observed it, but didn't pass it immediately. Instead, he was judging whether Zhou Ze had really come to help defend. After confirming that Zhou Ze had left Tyson Chandler's defensive area, Paul launched a high pass with a "whoosh".

The basketball whizzed through Zhou Ze's air, and he failed to intercept it. Chandler, behind him, sprinted toward the basket. The Hornets' home fans, anticipating the ball, instinctively jumped out of their seats, ready to applaud and celebrate, when a purple-gold jersey rose from the ground, intercepting the alley-oop connection between Paul and Chandler.

"Oh, no!"

"OMG!"

"Is this still the same old Chris Webber?"

The Hornets' home commentator suddenly burst into laughter.

Zhou Ze, who possesses [Court Commander (Silver)], can force his teammates into the "zone" state.

Obviously, Chris Webber is the third giant of the team tonight!!!
