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

The fourth quarter had only been going on for more than 3 minutes...

The Trail Blazers' tall players have all been "punished" by the Lakers.

Joel is 216cm tall.

Oden is 213cm tall.

Ade is 211cm tall.

All were sent off.

This time, McMillan really is "a good cook cannot cook without rice".

They could only move the 206cm tall forward Travis Outlaw from the bench to the center position.

Travis Outlaw, the athletic center who first came to public attention with a slam dunk over Yao Ming's head, was rumored to be able to touch the top of the backboard.

Batum, who is 206cm tall, plays at the No. 4 position.

Rudy Fernandez, who is 198cm tall, plays the team's number 3 position.

...

...

"Man, I heard you can touch the top of the backboard?" Zhou Ze said to his defender, Travis Outlaw, with a smile.

"hah... Zhou, these are all rumors." Outlaw said with a smile.

Chinese media likes to use the gimmick of "touching the top of the backboard" to write news.

Anything with a strong bounce likes to be promoted this way.

But in reality, no player has ever been proven to be able to touch the top of the backboard.

The half-human, half-god UFO Vince Carter did say that his best jumping ability was in high school, when he should have been able to touch the top of the backboard.

Although Trail Blazers' power forward Travis Outlaw has extremely strong jumping ability and is very active on the court, he is too thin. Weighing only about 100 kg, it is difficult for him to match up with stronger power forwards, let alone Zhou Ze, one of the most dominant inside players in history.

"Ding!" Kobe missed the fadeaway jump shot facing Roy's defense and Fernandez's assist defense.

Travis Outlaw wanted to gather his strength to jump, but Zhou Ze blocked his way and rushed to grab the position. A huge force hit him, causing Travis Outlaw to lose his balance. Although he did not fall to the ground, he was unable to exert force to jump.

"Snapped!"

Zhou Ze easily grabbed the offensive rebound and completed a slam dunk right under Otero's nose.

Looking at Zhou Ze who completed the dunk easily, Outlaw said with a wry smile: "Zhou, I doubt you can touch the top of the backboard."

"Really? I haven't tried it yet, but I can try it someday." Zhou Ze said with a smile.

The Trail Blazers lost their big inside player and were blocked by Zhou Ze.

Another thing is that it makes the Lakers' outside shooting more exciting.

Even Fish, who is one year older in this year's playoffs, kept rushing to the basket.

Anyway, if the shot can't go in, there's still Zhou Ze fighting for the rebound.

...

...

China.

A high school.

They had just finished school at noon and rushed into the school cafeteria like the wind.

The TV hanging on the wall was currently broadcasting the second game (G08) of the 09-2 season, Los Angeles Lakers vs. Portland Trail Blazers.

"I go..."

"What's going on in this game? Where's the Trail Blazers' big man?"

"Could it be that there was a large-scale brawl on the court just now, and all the Trail Blazers big men were ejected?"

"Yes...it must be Artest...who did it..."

"No, please call him Metta World Peace."

Well...

Many Chinese fans who did not know the truth unanimously believed that it was Metta World Peace who made a mistake and used his own substitution to cause all the tall players of the Trail Blazers to be sent off.

But soon, they found out from the commentators that it was actually caused by Zhou Ze and Kobe working together.

"Uh..."

"Cruel!"

"Monster!"

"Who says it isn't?"

...

...

The current lineup of the Trail Blazers on the court is very similar to the lineup of players in the small ball era a few years later.

But in the small ball era...

It's not just that the players are short and have good athletic ability.

It's a change in "offensive form".

From mainly positional warfare, it changed to "fast break" + "three-pointer" + "extreme offensive space".

Although Zhou Ze's sudden emergence triggered a "three-point craze" in the league and more and more inside players began to shoot three-pointers, there are still many teams that insist on the "classical style of play."

The whole game is over.

94 is better than 120!

With a huge advantage of 26 points, the Lakers won the Game 2 victory.

周泽出场36分钟，15投13中，三分球4中3，狂轰54分21篮板5助攻3抢断2盖帽的全能数据。

Well...

Zhou Ze didn't seem to have many shots, but that was only because he didn't take any free throws for the "and-one" fouls, which were not counted in his "shots";

Zhou Ze made 28 of 25 free throws and scored 25 points from free throws alone.

but...

Even so, Zhou Ze did not break the NBA playoffs single-game individual free throw record.

On June 2000, 6, Shaquille O'Neal attempted an astonishing 9 free throws against the Indiana Pacers. This is the NBA record for free throws in a single game. Of course, the Pacers used the "Hack-a-Shaq" strategy on O'Neal, limiting him to just 39 attempts. He finished with 18 points and 40 rebounds.

而NBA季后赛单场罚球命中数纪录是上古时期的“鲍勃-库西”，1953年3月21日对战锡拉丘兹国民队时创造，库西罚球32投30中。

科比出场32分钟，18投12中，三分球5中2，罚球10中8，拿到了34分5篮板5助攻4抢断2盖帽的记录。

值得一提的是，今晚的科比展现出了“9次一防”的实力，将外界口中的黄曼巴“布兰登-罗伊”防的24中8，三分球8中1，罚球4中4，只是拿到了21分3篮板3助攻1抢断。

...

...

Zhou Ze led his team to a crushing defeat of the Pacers, sending off all of their inside players taller than 210cm. This news quickly overshadowed another game.

On the same day...

小皇帝勒布朗-詹姆斯率领克里夫兰骑士，也同样取得了2比0的大比分领先，詹姆斯更是拿到了32分10篮板7助攻的准三双。

But Zhou Ze is too strong...

As a result, no one cares about James's data tonight.

Although James was quite unhappy about this, he had inexplicably gotten used to it... Well, James felt as if he was living under Zhou Ze's shadow.

At this moment, James seemed to have a deep empathy with Ewing, Barkley, Karl Malone, Glider, Shawn Kemp, Admiral Robinson and others in the 90s.

...

...

Two days later.

The Lakers went to the Portland Trail Blazers' home court to start Game 3.

Inside the media tunnel of the away locker room.

Before the game, a reporter interviewed Zhou Ze and asked him if he would try to break O'Neal's record for the most free throws in a single playoff game tonight.

Before Zhou Ze could answer...

Suddenly a reporter screamed.

Everyone followed the sound and looked.

"Wow... Kobe... did you get a manicure?" A sharp-eyed reporter looked at the tough guy Kobe's colorful nails.

This discovery stunned all the reporters.

OMG!

This is Kobe!

She actually got a manicure?

"Haha..." Kobe laughed, without a trace of embarrassment on his face. On the contrary, he said happily: "This is the manicure my daughter Gianna painted for me. She said it will bring me good luck."
