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

on the other hand.

At the North Shore Garden, a slow-motion replay of Zhou Ze's block on McGrady was being played on the big screen above the center of the Celtics' home court.

McGrady and Garnett had a very good understanding in the pick-and-roll. McGrady, who was tall and had long arms, took the lead in terms of position. If Zhou Ze had not chased him from behind, it would have definitely been a beautiful layup.

However, what shocked the Celtics fans even more was that Zhou Ze had clearly switched to defend Ray Allen outside the three-point line on the left wing, with his back to McGrady. How did he see it? And he actually "popped up" from there.

"OMG!"

"OMG!"

This replay once again caused the Celtics' home stadium to be filled with exclamations.

...

...

The pause ends.

The game continues.

The Lakers attacked, Zhou Ze set an off-ball screen for Kobe and quickly cut inside to the basket;

Kobe was in good shape tonight, making 6 of 4 shots and 4 of 2 free throws, scoring 10 points; but when he saw his teammates in such a hot state, he was willing to play a supporting role to help Zhou Ze.

Kobe drove to the other side of the basket, drawing Garnett's help defense, and then passed the ball from his waist to Zhou Ze in the paint. With only one second left in the paint's three-second offensive window, Zhou Ze had no time to act. After receiving the ball, he leaned over Perkins and unleashed a hook shot.

He scored his 17th point in the quarter.

29 points at halftime.

"Uh..."

"I feel like Zhou has a good chance of surpassing Kobe's 26-point quarter in the Finals tonight!"

Barkley laughed in the TNT studio.

The record holder for most points in a single quarter in the NBA Finals is Kobe Bryant. In the 06-07 season, he scored 26 points in a single quarter against the Cavaliers, surpassing Michael Danzi's 1992 points in the 25 Finals against the Trail Blazers.

at the same time...

Kobe's 06 points in a single half of the 07-38 season finals broke the Lakers' Baylor's record of 35 points in a half, ranking first in history.

"Sir Charles, I think you're speaking a little prematurely."

"There's not much time left for Zhou..."

Kenny Smith said.

However, less than 20 seconds after he finished speaking, Zhou Ze received the ball two steps outside the three-point line and hit another three-pointer.

Hit his fifth three-pointer of the game.

Well...

It is worth mentioning that the record holder for three-pointers in a single game in the NBA Finals is also Kobe.

Um...

It was also in the Game 06 game against the Cavaliers in the 07-1 season that he made 7 three-pointers in a single game.

The single-quarter scoring record in the Finals.

The halftime scoring record for the Finals.

Zhou Ze may not be able to break it.

But this three-pointer is definitely a 100% breakthrough.

...

...

Zhou Ze, who entered the zone, felt his body extremely light. Even McGrady, who had an extremely fast first step, was just so-so in Zhou Ze's eyes.

The Celtics switched offense and defense. McGrady advanced with the ball from the backcourt. Rondo did not follow up immediately. Zhou Ze quickly made up for the defense and the two faced off. Seeing McGrady's fighting spirit, Zhou Ze did not dare to be careless and adopted close defense.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

McGrady executed a double crossover, swinging wildly like a pendulum, his shoes rubbing against the floor with a sizzling sound. The moment Zhou Ze's center of gravity shifted, McGrady's left hand yanked the ball back to his right, creating shooting space for a pull-up jumper.

But the next moment...

McGrady's pupils suddenly contracted, and he looked at Zhou Ze in surprise as he pounced on the basketball that was about to be thrown.

With a "bang", Zhou Ze completed an incredible block.

At the same time, PJ Tucker transformed into Dennis Rodman and flew in to save the ball.

"hiss..."

"The Lakers are just too scary."

"Not only did Aze play a Finals performance that was no less than Michael's, but the other players also tried their best. Obviously, they didn't want to give the Celtics a chance to breathe."

Coach Zhang from the Tianchao Sports Studio couldn't help but exclaim at this moment.

"yes..."

...

...

With Zhou Ze in the paint area, surrounded by Garnett, McGrady and Perkins, he hit a turnaround jump shot and scored 27 points in a single quarter and 39 points in the first half.

This moment...

The sound of the three-pointer going through the net and the sound waves in the dome of North Shore Garden made the hanging championship banners rustle.

"OMG!"

"This guy set two new records on our home turf."

"He broke his teammate Kobe Bryant's single-quarter scoring record of 26 points in the Finals."

"He also broke teammate Kobe Bryant's record for the most points in a half of the Finals, with 39 points."

"Except us..."

"The great Kobe Bryant becomes the second victim tonight."

The Celtics' home commentator was talking incoherent nonsense at this time.

Actually...

After the shot was made, Kobe and Zhou Ze celebrated with a high five.

Before I knew it, Kobe's assists reached 9...

Well...

Perhaps decades later, fans who have just begun to understand the NBA will think that Kobe is the "God of Point Guards."

...

...

Halftime is over.

64 to 44, the Lakers' lead reached 20 points.

The tenacious Celtics were unable to fight back against Zhou Ze who had entered the zone.

In the second half, the Celtics tried to fight back, and Ray Allen also turned on the "Sunday mode".

But Ray Allen mostly catches the ball and shoots, and at best, he can only shoot 1.5 inches into the air.

Zhou Ze, who entered the zone state, was losing energy a little too quickly...

Even though he is already the best physical monster in the league.

But it can't withstand such a huge consumption.

but...

Zhou Ze also successfully tied Kobe Bryant's record of 7 three-pointers in a single game in the finals.

The 8th three-pointer...

Zhou Ze just couldn't make the shot.

Of course, Zhou Ze's personal score is still rising.

Another hook shot, he backed down Garnett and used his strength to push him back while completing a jump hook.

Zhou Ze successfully improved his personal score to 62 points!!!

This allowed Zhou Ze to successfully surpass Danzi's 61 points in a single game in the finals.

...

...

"Who in the galaxy can stop Zhou!"

"62 points in a single game!"

"39 points in the first half!"

"27 points in a single quarter!"

"Single-game three-point record!"

“Unbelievable!”

"The holder of these records is actually the same person - Zhou!!!"

Charles Barkley in the TNT live studio excitedly stood up from his seat and shouted into the microphone.

"I think no matter how stupid the media is, they can't vote for FMVP for anyone else this year," said Kenny Smith.
