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

After Kobe hit this difficult three-pointer, Zhou Ze was not to be outdone. He first delayed the defense and switched to Billups, using his long arms to disrupt the opponent's high-flying layup.

Birdman Chris Andersen protected the defensive rebound, and the Lakers launched another fast break. Rondo dribbled forward and saw Zhou Ze two steps away from the three-point line. There was no one defending him, so he immediately passed the ball to him. After receiving the ball, Zhou Ze quickly made an ultra-long three-pointer.

57 is better than 75!

"Damn it!" Carmelo Anthony couldn't help but bite his back teeth after seeing Zhou Ze hit another long three-pointer.

After receiving the pass from Billups outside the three-point line on the right wing, Anthony faced the defense of Metta World Peace and tried a triple threat. As a former DPOY, Metta World Peace was not easily fooled by fakes or dribbling, but Melo's fakes were too realistic.

Metta World Peace was tricked into jumping up, and Anthony took advantage of the situation to lower his body and center of gravity to break through from the right side of Metta World Peace. Facing Zhou Ze who was about to arrive, he made a quick stop jump shot to score.

"Sorry, buddy!" said Tsz Wai Ping a little embarrassedly.

"It's okay, it's my fault that I didn't provide timely assistance." Zhou Ze said with a smile.

After three or four rounds, Zhou Ze forced his way past Kenyon Martin. Zhou Ze's first step can be said to be the best among NBA inside players.

This beast-type inside player who is good at catching cakes was still pushed away half a body length even though he predicted Zhou Ze's breakthrough direction. Well, there was nothing he could do. In addition to being fast, Zhou Ze's first step was also too powerful.

Zhou Ze squeezed out Kenyon Martin and continued to break through to the basket. After attracting Carmelo Anthony's help defense, he passed the ball to Metta World Peace in the corner. The latter received the ball and hit a three-pointer.

61比85，第四节比赛进行到2分32秒的时候，湖人的领先优势已经来到了24分。

"Oh, no!"

"How can we fight like this?"

"Melo's performance was good enough...but the Lakers' Zhou and Kobe are not from this world at all."

The Denver Nuggets fans in front of the screen felt deeply powerless about the game.

Whenever their star player hits a difficult goal to narrow the gap a little, the Lakers are always able to respond immediately.

besides···

The Lakers' offense looked really easy and comfortable.

The player who disappointed Nuggets fans the most was Kenyon Martin.

His rebounding ability seemed pretty good during the regular season, but tonight he didn't grab a single rebound.

Zhou Ze frequently picked the melons from above his head.

The offense was unable to break through Zhou Ze's defense, even though Billups had already fed the ball to him. However, Zhou Ze's static talent, athletic talent, and his top-notch defensive sense always managed to disrupt his every attack.

Furthermore, Kenyon Martin was completely defenseless on the defensive end. As a center, it's understandable that you're slow laterally and can't defend against Zhou Ze's outside dribbling drives. After all, Zhou Ze's instantaneous acceleration is terrifying, completely guard-level.

But you faced Zhou Ze's 8 strong attacks under the basket, but you didn't defend a single one, and you didn't even wait for your teammate Nene's help defense...

no way.

Kenyon Martin was too light, and Zhou Ze pushed and pushed him, making the latter fly away; what's more, Zhou Ze's ability to finish at the basket was further improved two days ago.

······

"drop!"

The referee whistle sounded.

The referee called an offensive foul on Kobe.

Kobe gritted his teeth in frustration.

At the same time, the Nuggets players on the court helped Carmelo Anthony, who had fallen to the ground.

Just now, while trying to get in position to receive the ball, Kobe made a large elbow swing and was caught by the referee.

In fact, the two started a physical battle in the second half. Under the high-intensity physical battle, Melo, who was in hot form in the first half and scored 28 points, only scored 5 points in the third quarter.

The Nuggets had the ball. Anthony, who was a bit bigger than him, squeezed out Kobe to get to the position, and made a picturesque turnaround jump shot. With a "bang", the shot hit the edge of the basket and bounced out.

"Man, that's not all you can do," Kobe said.

"Really? Kobe! You can't score in front of me." Anthony responded unyieldingly.

On the next possession, Kobe didn't resort to a pick-and-roll, but went for the ball directly from the half-back position. Anthony, who was defending him, kept squeezing him, trying to make it difficult for him to receive the ball comfortably. But it must be said that although Kobe's fingers are short, he is not butter hands;

Kobe received the ball and shot it almost towards Anthony's fingertips.

"Melo, your defense is good, but unfortunately it is far from enough for me." After scoring the goal, Kobe also pretended to be happy.

Kobe doesn't actually talk a lot of trash on the court, but he talks a lot when facing super scorers.

Anthony was speechless.

If it were an ordinary shooting guard, Anthony would definitely respond with "shit luck." But the opponent was Kobe, who hit at least 5 such goals tonight.

88 is better than 118!

After hitting this shot, the Nuggets were already trailing by 30 points.

There are 4 minutes and 38 seconds left before the end of the game.

The outcome of this G1 battle has basically been decided.

Although Carmelo Anthony on the court had no intention of giving up, he extremely enjoyed the joy of fighting with Kobe.

Even though Anthony has greatly improved on the defensive end, he is still a natural scorer at heart.

Watching his beloved disciple fighting hard on the court, Nuggets coach George Karl felt sorry for him. He knew Anthony was enjoying himself now.

But all the struggle and efforts now are in vain.

To prevent Anthony from overexerting himself and getting injured.

George Karl finally requested a timeout and replaced all the main players of the Nuggets.

"Melo, I know you feel unwilling. But believe me, this series has just begun and there will be plenty of opportunities later," said George Karl.

Anthony pondered for a moment, then sighed helplessly: "Eh."

How to beat the Los Angeles Lakers.

This team is comparable to the peak OK combination.

To be honest...

George Karl really had no choice.

but···

There's a saying circulating among NBA coaches these days: "Dog-licking defense." Rumor has it that this is the most effective way to defend against Zhou Ze.

In the eyes of all NBA coaches, the only way to win the game is to hold down Zhou Ze first. As for Kobe, his destructiveness and stability are not as good as Zhou Ze's this season.

That night after the game, George Karl locked himself in his hotel room and no one knew what he was doing.

Outside media speculated that George Karl was in seclusion studying strategies to crack the Lakers.

Um···

The outside world is not wrong.

George Karl is really working on defensive strategies.

It's just that his method is through phone calls.

George Karl used all the connections he had accumulated throughout his life. He called many NBA players and coaches and personally asked about the details of the "dog defense."
