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

Starting from 6 minutes and 10 seconds in the first quarter, Zhou Ze singled out Griffin in the low post three times in a row.

The first time, he faked a left turn, then turned right and connected with a fadeaway jumper. Although Griffin was concentrating on watching Zhou Ze's steps, he was still shaken and jumped, watching Zhou Ze score.

The second time, the action was almost exactly the same as the first time, still holding the ball in the low post, turning left with a fake move, and turning right and back. Griffin seemed to have learned his lesson and did not jump this time, but Zhou Ze directly exerted force and pushed Griffin away with his strong arms. He jumped up from the ground and completed a powerful slam dunk with a "clang".

Compared to the first time, Griffin's expression was obviously more depressed the second time.

When the first goal was scored, Griffin thought it was caused by his jumping around, but Zhou Ze used the second goal to tell Griffin the bloody truth: even if you don't jump, even if you don't lose your defensive position, it is still impossible to defend me alone.

This shot also made Griffin spread his hands and thought to himself: "Actually, you don't need technical skills..."

The third time, the former DPOY, Marcus Camby, who was also Zhou Ze's first ATM, came over to assist after noticing that Zhou Ze was pushing Griffin away. But at this time, Zhou Ze passed the ball to the ghost position Jermaine O'Neal with a NO-LOOK-PASS. After receiving the ball, the latter made a quick jump dunk and easily got 2 points.

Although O'Neal's knees are full of holes, he is still a big man and can still jump well without any confrontation.

...

...

In the first quarter, Zhou Ze tried his hand at teaching in the low post three times.

In the second quarter of the game, Zhou Ze began his outside attack teaching.

First, he faced Griffin with the ball outside the three-point line. He took a probing step to shift Griffin's center of gravity. Then, he lowered his shoulders and faked a move to the left. After seeing the opponent move half a step sideways, he immediately changed direction in front of his body and made a huge "cross-over" - the basketball was slapped from his left hand to his right hand. The next moment, the whole person was like a cheetah, gliding close to the ground and rushing out.

"Wow wow wow..."

"Wow wow wow..."

"Wow wow wow..."

When the Clippers' home fans saw Griffin being passed by Zhou Ze in one step, they couldn't help but sigh.

Zhou Ze rushed to the basket and pushed away Camby, who came to help defend him. "Bang!" Camby stumbled backward. Los Angeles fans were used to this kind of "pushing animation," but what surprised them was...

After breaking through the defense, Zhou Ze still had extra strength to complete a one-handed slam dunk.

...

...

Zhou Ze broke through Griffin four times in a row, twice passing him with one step, and twice blocking him for half his body length. He combined his terrifying lower limb strength and core strength to push Griffin all the way to the basket.

The last breakthrough caused Griffin to commit a defensive foul.

At the same time, Clippers coach Mike Dunleavy directly requested a timeout.

Well...

If a timeout is not called, the No. 1 draft pick will probably have to see a psychiatrist, just like the former starting center of the Dallas Mavericks, Eric Dampier.

...

...

距离半场结束还有4分18秒，58比30，湖人的领先优势已经来到了28分。

By the way...

周泽10投9中，罚球6中6，三分球倒是0出手，轻轻松松的拿到了24分12篮板6助攻3抢断4盖帽。

On the other hand, the new No. 1 pick is Blake Griffin.

He shot 7 for 1, 2 for 1 free throws, and the only goal he scored was a dunk on a fast break. Uh... only 2 points and 1 rebound, which was a disappointing statistic.

But the good news for Griffin is that Zhou Ze did not continue to play after this timeout.

Without Zhou Ze's suppression, Griffin gradually found his game form.

However, the defense of JaVale McGee and Marc Gasol cannot allow Griffin to do whatever he wants.

After all, these two second-year rookies face Zhou Ze all day long during team training, and their offense and defense have made a qualitative leap compared to their rookie season.

Of course, their growth paths are completely different...

As we all know, Zhou Ze has two defensive systems.

One set is similar to the unlimited sweeps of Kevin Garnett and Giannis Antetokounmpo.

The other set is a half-squat rim protection similar to Tim Duncan.

McGee, who has excellent athletic ability but weak power, learned Zhou Ze's first defensive system - unlimited sweep.

Gasol, who is excellent in power confrontation and has a keen sense of spatial positioning, has learned Zhou Ze's second defensive system - squatting.

McGee blocked Griffin twice in the third quarter, but was also scored twice by Griffin.

Instead, it was Gasol Jr. who, although he did not block Griffin's shot, defended Griffin to 4 for 0.

...

...

The whole game is over.

126 is better than 80!

The Lakers defeated the Clippers by 46 points in their first playoff game.

周泽仅仅出场16分钟，24分12篮板6助攻3抢断4盖帽。

Griffin played for 36 minutes and scored 11 points and 5 rebounds, but his shooting percentage was less than 20%. "Inefficient" can no longer be used to describe Griffin's performance tonight.

As for Kobe...

He basically just played a supporting role in tonight's game.

The few times when I "took action"——

The Clippers' starting shooting guard, Round Face Deng, passed Kobe by changing direction, rushed into the basket, and made a layup... Kobe immediately responded with a hard jump shot from the waist position, and then blocked Round Face Deng's breakthrough layup in a 1v1 defensive end.

However, what made the Clippers coach feel relieved was that Griffin was not too depressed after the game. He even forced a smile and hugged Zhou Ze.

"Blake, if you can't laugh, then just stop laughing..." Looking at Griffin, whose smile was uglier than crying, Zhou Ze couldn't help but complain.

"Brother...you are so strong. Can you pass on some of your experience to me?" Griffin said with envy.

"This thing should be innate..." Zhou Ze said half-jokingly.

"Uh..." Griffin was slightly startled, then asked seriously, "Brother, can you tell me how much strength you used tonight..."

"How strong is it?"

Zhou Ze frowned slightly.

This is not a good answer.

Zhou Ze still had many offensive weapons that he hadn't used yet. Besides, when facing Griffin, he only felt slightly sweaty.

But if you say too little about this, it will be quite discouraging to the other party; if you say too much, it will make you seem weak.

After some thought, Zhou Ze replied, "It's barely 3 points."

"what?"

"3 points?"

"Only 3 points?"

Griffin felt like the sky was falling.

Make sense.

If the Clippers simply use Griffin to defend himself, Zhou Ze can be isolated throughout the court and have no pressure at all.

...

...

After the game.

This highly anticipated game was also widely reported by the news media.

"The number one pick killer is showing his brilliance again. Zhou used this game to prove to the rookie number one pick that he is the most dominant inside player in the league, no doubt about it." - ESPN report

"Young, too young. Zhou completely crushed the top draft pick Blake Griffin. I believe that through this game, Blake Griffin should understand that he has now entered the NBA, which is full of monsters. Although his physical talent can dominate the NCAA, he still needs to hone his skills if he wants to gain a foothold in the NBA. Blake, Zhou, he is your role model." - Sports Illustrated

"Blake Griffin, welcome to the road of confrontation. This is the level of a two-time MVP and a Finals MVP." - USA Today
