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

The victory in Game 3 made Doc Rivers mistakenly believe that it was his credit.

But in fact...

During every timeout in the game, the tactical board was in Kevin Garnett's hands.

"To defend Zhou Ze, what we have to do is cut off the connection between him and other Lakers players..."

Doc Rivers used a standard textbook formula to respond to reporters.

"Coach Doug, how many points do you plan to limit Zhou tonight?" the reporter continued to ask.

Rivers thought about this question for a long time...

Within 20 minutes?

Fuck, how is this possible?

Within 30 minutes?

It is also difficult to do.

Within 40 minutes?

It's possible, but given Zhou Ze's temperament, after losing the game last night, he'll definitely go all out tonight. Just 10 points in one quarter, two three-pointers, and two layups, that's all.

Within 50 minutes?

We should be able to do it.

But Doc Rivers was afraid of being slapped in the face and still didn't dare to say it.

never mind!

Within 60 points!

Rivers believed that his team could definitely limit Zhou Ze to 60 points. Besides, Zhou Ze's highest score in the finals did not exceed 60.

"60 points!"

"Zhou, he..."

Rivers wanted to spit out the word "absolutely", but he backed off and quickly changed his words: "Even though Zhou is a two-time MVP and the best player in the league, it is unlikely that he will score 60 points on us."

Um...

Facing the outside media, although Rivers firmly stated that they would not adopt a "dog-licking defense" against Zhou Ze, but... there was no need to provoke Zhou Ze.

Confident Rivers believes that no one in the world understands Zhou Ze better than him.

He knew very well that Zhou Ze was petty and narrow-minded. In order to improve his competitive state, he would even imagine his opponents as imaginary enemies.

If you make him angry...

The Celtics really have no good results.

It was Doc Rivers' answer that left all the media reporters present dumbfounded.

"What the hell!"

"Why didn't you say to limit Zhou Ze's score to 100 points?"

...

...

Game 4 was played at the Boston Celtics' home court, the TD Garden.

Before the game.

Zhou Ze began to prepare himself mentally.

"Little Doug..."

"You think my scoring ability can't kill people? You actually said that if you cut off the connection between me and my teammates, you can defeat us?"

"Tomato, you are so insulting to me. You have no respect for the new generation of goats."

"And... the Boston media reacted so strongly to me scoring 55 points, like I was just lucky."

"Damn Doug..."

"Damn Green Army..."

"You guys are so disrespectful to me and are going too far."

Well...

Zhou Ze in the locker room entered "meditation mode", uh, to be more precise, "delusion mode".

When Rivers was interviewed by the media, he did not say a word to belittle Zhou Ze, and even gave him a lot of praise.

The local media in Boston have been praising Zhou Ze for scoring 55 points. Many people have said that if Zhou Ze can win the FMVP this year, his historical status will be among the top ten in the NBA.

To know...

After finishing this season, Zhou Ze has only spent 4 seasons.

However...

In order to improve his competitive state, Zhou Ze meditated and "misinterpreted" his opponents' praise into insults and humiliation.

"I only scored 55 points in the finals, and you're so surprised?"

"What does it mean?"

"Do you think I can't get 60 points?"

"Danzi's record of 61 points in the finals, can't I break it?"

"Or... do you believe deep down that I can't surpass Danzi?"

"Tomato!"

“Who are you insulting!!!”

...

...

Zhou Ze held the ball outside the three-point line, and Perkins followed him. With a "bang!", Zhou Ze passed the ball to the right and accelerated. Perkins quickly retreated, and Zhou Ze stopped abruptly and took a step back. Perkins had no time to react until Zhou Ze took off and shot. Perkins rushed forward and "swish!" The three-pointer was hit.

"Wow wow..."

"Tonight's Zhou...is too scary."

"This is his fourth three-pointer in this game, 4 of 5, and all of them were shot with the ball."

Charles Barkley in the TNT live studio couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Unstoppable."

"Tonight, Zhou showed an even more terrifying dominance than usual."

Kenny Smith was so engrossed in Zhou Ze's performance that he had apparently forgotten that he was the "black character Zhou".

Fortunately, Charles Barkley, who was standing nearby, cleared his cough twice and pulled Kenny Smith back.

"But... no one can be accurate for the entire game."

"In the second half of the game, his touch will definitely decline."

Kenny Smith, remembering his business, quickly added.

With the help of Garnett's pick-and-roll, McGrady, with his huge strides, crushed Rajon Rondo and broke through to the basket. When McGrady reached the reasonable collision zone, he made a low layup. Suddenly, with a "bang", a huge figure suddenly flew out from behind him and pressed McGrady's forced layup directly onto the backboard.

Zhou Ze in the air also used his waist and abdomen to grab the basketball.

McGrady looked like a god descending to earth. No, what does "like" mean? This is the god himself.

"WTF!"

"Where did this guy come from?"

"It's too exaggerated."

The Celtics' home commentator exclaimed in disbelief.

"drop!"

The referee's whistle sounded at this time.

After Kendrick Perkins tried to steal the ball from Zhou Ze but failed, he hugged him and committed a tactical foul.

no way!

Zhou Ze's condition was too hot and he had to be cooled down artificially.

距离上半场结束还有3分19秒，46比30，湖人的领先优势达到了16分。

Zhou Ze scored 12 points in the first quarter and 9 points in less than 15 minutes in the second quarter.

On the Celtics bench.

"Guys, you have to believe me, Zhou's hot state can't last the whole game, it's just 15 points, don't be discouraged." Chicken Soup coach Rivers shouted at the top of his lungs.

Garnett's lips moved, he wanted to say something, but he held it back.

He really didn't want to discourage his teammates.

Kevin Garnett, who entered the league in 95, has seen the "God" and has also fought against the "God".

Compared with God, the oppression Zhou Ze brought to him was only stronger, not weaker.

This feeling has never appeared in anyone before.

Even the great Kobe Bryant was like this.

On the Lakers bench.

As a rookie, JaVale McGee stood up and gave up his seat when he saw Zhou Ze coming.

Zhou Ze sat down naturally and took the energy drink and hot towel handed to him by the caddy with a smile.

I asked myself, "Is this what it feels like to be in the zone?"
