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

Compared with the Lakers defeating the Trail Blazers and reaching the Western Conference Finals for four consecutive years, Zhou Ze's incredible jumping ability on the court was even more impressive, and the media also discussed this matter after the game.

"Zhou Ze is the player with the best jumping ability in actual combat in history, even better than Michael. No one would have thought that there is a human being who can really touch the top of the backboard. The sky is the limit for Zhou. Although the sky of the NBA is full of people, there is no doubt that Zhou is the most dazzling one." - "Slam Dunk" report.

"Congratulations to Los Angeles for reaching the Western Conference Finals again. What's amazing is that Zhou has never missed the Western Conference Finals since he entered the league. The legend continues. Who will they face next, Denver or San Antonio?" - ESPN report.

"The Lakers' Zerby duo once again recorded a triple-double, making them the duo with the most triple-doubles in the playoffs in NBA history. Of course, they are also the duo with the most triple-doubles in the NBA regular season." - Sports Illustrated report.

"Congratulations to Los Angeles for becoming the first team to reach the conference finals. Can they complete their three consecutive championships this year and re-establish the Purple and Gold Dynasty? In addition, Zhou, is he really not a monster from Mars? His legs are like rocket boosters, and he can fly into space at any time." - USA Today reported.

"There are many legends about NBA players touching the top of the backboard, but the only one who turned the legend into reality and was lucky enough to witness it with his own eyes was Zhou Ze!" - The Washington Post reported.

"Kobe Bryant scored 45 points tonight, seemingly responding to Tracy McGrady's 44 points last night. In that familiar way, he seemed to be telling the world that he is still the strongest shooting guard." - The New York Times reported.

...

...

The Lakers ruthlessly swept the Trail Blazers to advance to the Western Conference Finals.

Their next opponent is the winner of the "Nuggets vs. Spurs" game.

The Spurs have been hit by a wave of injuries this season and the team looks exhausted, but the experienced GDP combination, with their tenacious will, managed to pull off a comeback in yesterday's game. They are currently trailing the Denver Nuggets 1-2.

Zhou Ze and his team, who had advanced early, had to rest for a long time.

The Lakers fans were celebrating on the night they won the "Western Conference Finals Ticket".

All the Lakers players who were still in Portland also came to a local high-end steakhouse in a mighty procession on a brightly lit night.

"Guys!" veteran Fisher announced loudly, "Order anything you want tonight, Zhou, it's his treat."

Zhou Ze spread his hands and said helplessly, "When did I say that?"

"Zhou, you touched the top of the backboard tonight and became the focus of heated discussion across the United States." Metta World Peace put his arm around Zhou Ze's shoulders.

Compared with other forwards, the big and strong Tsz Wai Ping, standing next to Zhou Ze, looked like a gentle little wife.

Zhou Ze asked seriously, "What? Isn't it always like this?"

Zhou Ze's question startled everyone at first, and then everyone couldn't help laughing.

Make sense.

Zhou Ze's popularity has always been high, and this time touching the edge of the backboard only added to his magical color.

"Zhou, treat everyone to a meal. Isn't that what the team leader should do?" Kobe joked half-jokingly.

Everyone was trying to hold back their laughter, but no one continued to respond.

after all...

Only Kobe would dare to make a joke like this with Zhou Ze.

As Kobe Bryant gets older, the team becomes more and more biased towards

...

...

Everyone sat down with a smile and started ordering their food.

Zhou Ze noticed that Rajon Rondo was studying the menu carefully, with a focused expression as if he was still reading a tactical manual.

"Rajon!" Odom quipped, "Man, are you picking out a steak or a girlfriend?"

Rondo didn't look up, but said seriously: "I'm calculating the protein content."

PJ Tucker grinned and laughed, "I'll just take the most expensive one. Zhou pays tonight anyway."

"Uh..."

"puff..."

Everyone burst into laughter again.

...

...

Choice of steak.

The standards are different for every Laker player.

JaVale McGee, Marc Gasol, and Chris Webber chose 7 points.

Kobe Bryant, Rajon Rondo, Derek Fisher and Metta World Peace chose medium-rare.

Odom, who is the most flamboyant, chose medium rare. The large amount of blood on the steak looked quite scary.

This made Rondo couldn't help but complain: "Dude, did you order steak or a horror movie?"

"Hehe, this is manly." Odom grinned.

As he spoke, Odom glanced at Zhou Ze and teased, "Zhou, as the toughest guy in the NBA, you actually ordered a rare dish. If the outside media knew about this, they would definitely laugh their heads off."

"It doesn't matter." Zhou Ze rolled his eyes at him and started eating with his chopsticks.

"Okay." Odom spread his hands.

At this time, the team's newcomer JaVale McGee was very impressed and adored by Zhou Ze for eating steak with chopsticks and ordering a 9-point steak regardless of his "tough guy image".

"This should be the so-called mentality of a strong person, who can completely ignore the outside world's opinions."

"Of course, the premise is that you need to be strong enough."

JaVale McGee demonstrated his reading comprehension through this incident.

As for the facts...

Zhou Ze really didn't dare to eat the bloody medium-rare steak.

...

...

Everyone ate steak and talked about tonight's game.

This is basically a business promotion session.

"Zhou, your performance today was amazing, especially that one-handed slam dunk after the turn."

"And that blocked shot..."

"No, no, no, I think the most exciting thing is that he poked the stuck basketball out with his bare hands."

"Hahaha..."

Soon, the owner of the steak house walked into the box with the waiter, holding a huge cake in his hands.

This scene surprised the Lakers players.

Everyone looked at each other, and finally the focus fell on Odom.

Odom shook his head, indicating that this part was not arranged by him.

At this moment, the waiter next to us explained with a smile, "Our boss is a Los Angeles Lakers fan and a staunch supporter. When he heard you were coming here for dinner, he immediately ordered a cake to congratulate you."

"Thank you." Zhou Ze said with a smile.

At the same time, Zhou Ze noticed a line of big words written on the cake.

-

Ah!

Those are the legendary five big characters.
