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

Looking at the two rookies looking at each other in bewilderment, second-year rookies Marc Gasol and JaVale McGee patted them on the shoulders and smiled without saying a word.

After all, there's nothing to explain.

Once you stay with the Lakers for a long time, you will get used to it.

...

...

The Lakers' fourth preseason game is against the New Jersey Nets.

Ah!

It's the Chinese derby again.

But compared with the game against the Golden State Warriors, the game against the Nets is obviously much less popular.

The New Jersey Nets are the league's bottom-ranked team.

Not only does the team have a poor record, the home stadium (IZOD Center) is outdated, and the basketball atmosphere in New Jersey is also not good. In simple terms, there are relatively few basketball fans in New Jersey.

This also led to the New Jersey Nets suffering losses year after year. Otherwise, they would not have been able to move the team to "Brooklyn" in 2012.

...

...

With the departure of Vince Carter in the new season, Devin Harris, who has the fastest dribbling speed in the NBA, has officially become the absolute core of the team.

Last season, Harris and Carter occasionally fought for the ball. Many fans who supported Harris believed that after Carter left, Devin Harris's data would usher in a qualitative leap.

But in fact, without Carter to attract offensive firepower, Harris became the opponent's first defensive target, and his statistics were...lackluster.

Like most teams, the Lakers chose to double-team Devin Harris.

Double-teaming is not only a last resort against superstars, but also an effective defensive strategy.

Although Devin Harris dribbles the ball fast, he is 191cm tall and weighs only 84kg, not as strong as Curry at his current stage; in addition, Devin Harris is not as good as Curry in terms of ball handling as a rookie.

His field of vision is very narrow, his three-point shooting percentage is around 3% all year round, and he lacks off-ball threats.

Double-teaming Devin Harris almost beat the Nets half to death.

The only remaining threatening point is Brook Lopez.

The Nets' starting center.

Lopez is a typical traditional center with weak running and jumping abilities but solid basic skills in the interior. He is 213cm tall and weighs over 120kg. He is a player on the same track as Yao Ming.

By the way, the four great centers in the 90s were actually not traditional centers. Their athletic ability and physical coordination were more amazing than the other.

It is not difficult for Lopez to score 20+ points against ordinary inside players. However, the one defending him tonight is Marc Gasol. After experiencing the baptism of last year's finals, Marc Gasol's rim protection ability has improved visibly.

No matter how Lopez spins or moves his body, Gasol remains motionless and steady as a rock.

Besides these two, the Nets...

There is also Space Easy.

Yi Jianlian's playing style in space has become completely magic ball, with transition scoring, inside cuts and three-pointers. However, the team's engine has been pressed into a bottomless lake by the Lakers, and Allen's positioning...seems a bit wasteful.

...

...

At the end of the first quarter, the away Lakers had already taken a 28-point lead.

48 to 20, the Nets only scored 28 points.

After the start of the second quarter, the Lakers directly sent out their rookies to play.

Mad Dog and Tielin.

As rookies, although they lack personal abilities, they have a good attitude.

In just 4 minutes, the two double-teamed Harris 5 times, causing Harris to make 2 pass errors and 1 dribbling error.

Especially Beverley, who not only dared to use his physical strength, but even dared to talk trash to Devin Harris.

"Hey, man, you dribble like a jelly bean."

"I told you before, there's no way you can get past my defense."

Devin Harris, who is well-known in the league, was very angry and almost started a fight, but at the critical moment, he saw Zhou Ze on the bench and relaxed his clenched fists.

Throughout the game, the Lakers basically pressed the Nets, and the opponent had no temper at all.

德文-哈里斯被湖人的后卫线给防的...14中2，三分球5中0，罚球4中2，仅拿到了6分。

At this moment, Nets fans couldn't help but think of the man who played on the basket.

After the game, Zhou Ze naturally did not forget to reminisce with Allen.

Allen is doing well in New Jersey and is the team's third offensive option.

...

...

The Lakers have two preseason games left.

Atlanta Hawks and Dallas Mavericks.

In these two games, Zhou Ze and Kobe basically just played supporting roles.

no way.

The other team's core players were absent for various reasons, so Zhou Ze and Kobe didn't need to stay long.

During the game against the Hawks, Al Horford was sitting on the sidelines in a suit and tie. What made Zhou Ze feel a little regretful was that his model girlfriend didn't come to the scene tonight.

Josh Smith also sat out due to back soreness.

Unlike last season, Josh Smith has become more arrogant and unruly this season, even on the bench.

Don’t think that every time after playing against the Lakers, Josh Smith will be criticized by local fans in Atlanta, and even the management wants to give up the idea of ​​building a team around Josh Smith.

But the Hawks are an Eastern Conference team, and they only encountered them twice in the previous seasons.

Um...

As the saying goes, time is the best medicine.

...

...

The Mavericks game...

The second most accurate power forward in NBA history, Dirk Nowitzki, was actually rested.

After the game, Zhou Ze and Dirk Nowitzki hugged and greeted each other.

"Zhou...there's a camera, don't touch it." Dirk Nowitzki said with a helpless smile.

"Brother, it seems that you didn't waste this off-season. Hehe, you've become a lot stronger." Zhou Ze said half-jokingly.

Nowitzki was slightly stunned, and only then did he understand why Zhou Ze suddenly made a move on him.

Just as Zhou Ze said, Dirk Nowitzki did work hard on his post-up technique during the offseason, which allowed him to improve his one-legged stance.

certainly...

After gaining weight, Nowitzki's speed in breaking through the basket will drop to a certain extent.

"See you in the regular season, bro." Seeing Nowitzki gradually perfecting his one-legged stand, Zhou Ze couldn't help but look forward to the new season.

"Okay." Nowitzki, who has always been labeled a "softie", now has excitement in his eyes.

In today's league, there are actually quite a few players who are not afraid of Zhou Ze deep down in their hearts... well...

For example, those rookies who have barely experienced Zhou Ze's intensity for one or two years.

However, those who have faced Zhou Ze head-on and are still not afraid are rare.

Apparently...

Dirk Nowitzki is one of them.
