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

The players took to the stage to receive their own championship rings.

As the two super core players of the team, they were naturally the last to appear.

Unlike last year, Kobe is second to last.

Zhou Ze, who won Finals MVP last season, was the last to take the stage. He held up his championship ring and saluted the fans with a faint smile. Although Zhou Ze had experienced this moment twice before, neither time had brought him the same sense of pride as this one.

The atmosphere on the scene suddenly reached a climax.

"Zhou, MVP!"

"Zhou, MVP!"

"Zhou, MVP!"

The fans shouted Zhou Ze's name and MVP loudly.

"Tonight, we are not only celebrating the glory of the past, but also starting a new journey. We will continue to work hard to bring more championships to this city..."

“not4，not5，not6...not7...not8...”

Every time Zhou Ze made a not, the fans at the scene cheered and shouted.

When the not6 sounded, all the fans stood up again.

Zhou Ze's speech was brief and powerful, with a hint of humor.

...

...

Patrick Beverley and Danny Green, rookies who just joined the Lakers this season, watched everything in front of them silently, their eyes full of awe and yearning.

For these young people who have just entered the league, the championship value and flag are not only a symbol of glory, but also a sacred heritage.

"great!"

"great!"

Looking at Zhou Ze's back, the word "great" emerged in the minds of Beverly and Green at the same time.

They seemed to understand the "weight" of the Lakers jerseys on their bodies.

Being a member of the Lakers does not just mean being an NBA player, but also means shouldering the responsibility of continuing the glory of this legendary team.

on the other hand.

On the Clippers' bench, Blake Griffin, who was absent tonight due to injury, looked a little gloomy.

This moment...

He felt the brilliance of the Los Angeles Lakers and understood why the Los Angeles Clippers were the "eternal runner-up."

"I...I...I will use my efforts to win more honors for the Clippers and try my best to get rid of the label of being the eternal runner-up." As the No. 1 draft pick, Griffin suddenly ignited his ambition.

The over-the-ceiling template for the draft is Zhou Ze's Griffin, who seems to have completed his "awakening" earlier than in his previous life.

Griffin made up his mind that he must improve his shooting in the new season and not just dunk, just like Zhou Ze.

...

...

The championship ring award ceremony was also broadcast live by Tianchao Sports Television.

"Coach Zhang, Aze has finally achieved his wish. He won the MVP and FMVP in a single season and led the Lakers to three consecutive championships. He can be said to be the best player in basketball today." Su Qun said with a smile.

"Well, that's true from a strength perspective. However, if Aze wants to raise his historical status to the next level, he needs more championships," said Coach Zhang.

"Yes... Aze is already one of the top ten goalkeepers in the league. If he wins another MVP trophy this season... his historical status can rise to the 5-8 range." Su Qun said.

"From the perspective of the three major honors, there is nothing wrong with this statement. However, it will be difficult for Aze to win the MVP this year... very difficult." Coach Zhang said meaningfully.

Larry Bird is the only NBA player to have won three consecutive MVP awards.

Even the God of Basketball, Michael Danzi, couldn't do it.

Zhou Ze is too young, he is only 23+ years old. There is a % chance that the league will not give him the MVP award again.

"Yeah, it's very difficult to win the MVP three times in a row." Su Qun said with a smile.

"A player's historical status, in addition to the three major honors, basic data cannot be underestimated." Coach Zhang added again.

"Oh, by the way, I was so busy watching the Lakers' championship awards ceremony that I almost forgot to tell everyone in front of the TV that Aze's total regular season points in the first four seasons reached an astonishing 9942."

"Total rebounds—4763."

"Total assists – 1745 points."

“Total steals – 778.”

"Total blocks – 839."

...

...

"In terms of scoring, Aze is only 10000 points away from the milestone of 58 points in the regular season of his career."

"Everyone knows Aze's scoring ability. As long as Aze lets go tonight, I believe 58 points will not be a difficult task for him."

...

...

After the game started, the Lakers, who had just won the championship ring last season, showed the dominance of the defending champions.

Kobe used simple and effective offensive methods to break through the defense of Round Face Deng.

"drop!"

The referee's whistle sounded.

A defensive foul was called on Eric Gordon.

Gordon's face was full of helplessness at this moment.

To be fair...

Really tried my best.

But it’s impossible to prevent it.

After receiving the ball at the waist position, Kobe simply turned to the right to test the defense, shook off the defense, and quickly turned around and jumped to the left.

Although Round-faced Deng, who did not suffer a serious injury, was good at running and jumping, he was still helpless in the face of Kobe, who was full of fake moves.

Compared to the preseason, not only is Kobe much more aggressive tonight, but also Zhou Ze, whose career regular season total score is about to break the "10" point mark.

Of course, the Clippers don't want to be his background.

Marcus Camby and Chris Kaman, who serve as the team's twin towers, worked particularly hard tonight.

"Wow..."

"Zhou, it's incredible that you can even score a goal like this."

Ah!

As the former DPOY, Marcus Camby spared no effort to "flatter" Zhou Ze.

What Camby didn't know was that Zhou Ze had learned to "misinterpret" other people's compliments during last season's playoffs. In order to maintain his competitive state, Zhou Ze would deliberately imagine other people's "praise" as "insult" and "contempt."

To Zhou Ze, Camby's words sounded like, "Zhou, you made that shot, it was just luck."

then...

Zhou Ze challenged Camby from outside the three-point line for four consecutive times. Camby, who entered the NBA in the same year as Kobe and Iverson, has declined a lot in physical condition.

Well...

In fact, with the exception of a few players like Kobe and Ray Allen, most of the players who entered the NBA in 96 have already entered the late stage of their careers. No, even Ray Allen has begun to go downhill.

Seeing Camby being constantly beaten by Zhou Ze, Clippers head coach Mike Dunleavy had to request a timeout, hoping to curb Zhou Ze's condition tonight.

After the timeout, Mike Dunleavy asked the Clippers' second-year rookie DeAndre Jordan to come on the court to defend Zhou Ze.

As a rookie in 08, Jordan was predicted by the media to be in the "lottery zone" for a long time before the draft.
