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

O'Neal attacked hard in the paint, Chris Mihm tried his best but was still pushed back, Odom came to help defend, and O'Neal took another step to the basket, forcing Odom to over-help defend and miss James Posey outside the three-point line. O'Neal then passed the ball to James Posey, who made a three-pointer.

"Is this the dominant center? He uses his own threat under the basket to compress the defense and create open opportunities for his teammates on the outside. At the same time, he has a quick pass." Zhou Ze on the court personally experienced O'Neal's dominance.

Not only size, tonnage, and strength, but also skills, awareness, and overall perspective.

Obviously, after Zhou Ze cut the ball three times in a row, O'Neal became serious.

During his time with the Heat, he was thinner than when he was in the Lakers F4, and his footwork and speed had recovered a little. This was due to the Heat's devilish training that was comparable to "military training" and his obsession with the championship.

You know, O'Neal definitely hopes to get his fourth championship ring faster than Kobe.

Soon, O'Neal once again forced Chris Mihm in the low-post attack. After attracting Zhou Ze's double-team, he smoothly passed the ball to Haslem, leaving Zhou Ze no time to make up for the defense.

But unfortunately, the latter missed the open mid-range shot.

O'Neal positioned himself under the basket, used his left arm to block Chris Mihm next to him, jumped next to Zhou Ze, grabbed the offensive rebound, half-turned on the spot, pretended to hook the ball, and after shaking Zhou Ze and Chris Mihm off, he took advantage of the time difference, jumped up from the basket, and slammed the ball down with both hands.

Facing the 147kg Shaquille O'Neal, Chris Mihm was knocked to the ground, and Zhou Ze was also knocked back a big step.

No way...

Zhou Ze's pure strength is actually not worse than O'Neal, but the difference in tonnage is too big. He is 32kg lighter, which is equivalent to the weight of a fourth-grade elementary school student.

The Shark's dunk was so brutal that it made Chris Mihm's lips turn white.

After this slam dunk, the score came to 12 to 14, and the Heat took the lead by 2 points.

but...

After all, this big shark is old, and his physical strength cannot be compared with the three consecutive championship period. Even during the F4 period, it is slightly worse.

With a "bang", Kobe forced a layup against Wade's defense without completely getting rid of him, but was interfered by the big shark's assist defense.

Zhou Ze, who was squatting in the bottom corner, suddenly started, broke through Haslem's restraints, came to the basket, jumped into the air, and took this "Kobe-style assist" with both hands. With a "boom!", Zhou Ze completed a tip-in behind O'Neal.

After all, O'Neal was assisting in defending Kobe's forced layup with his back to the basket and had no time to provide backup defense.

"Xiao Zhou finally opened tonight!"

"yes..."

“I didn’t expect the first goal to be a tip-in!”

"But tonight, in addition to giving special care to Kobe, the Heat also treated Zhou Ze with All-Star-level defense."

"Yes, Haslem never leaves our side. Moreover, once he loses his defensive position, the players next to him will immediately rotate to Zhou Ze."

Two commentators from the Tianchao Sports Studio commented.

The voice just fell.

"Snap!" A crisp sound was heard on the court. James Posey blocked Parker's pass to Zhou Ze out of bounds and almost caused a steal.

"Mine! Mine!" Death Parker pointed at himself, indicating that he did not pass the ball well.

In fact, this was the Lakers' third pass disrupted, twice by Odom and once by Parker.

All three of these attempts were aimed at Zhou Ze, but were either blocked by James Posey or Haslem.

"It's so hard for Xiao Zhou to catch the ball tonight."

"yes..."

"The Heat have clearly done a thorough study of his route movements."

...

...

On the sidelines, dressed in a suit and tie, Packelley, known as the "magician" and "vampire", was very satisfied with the team's restrictions on Zhou Ze.

With a "beep!", Wade broke through and made a layup in a fast break, causing Chris Mihm to foul.

This was his second foul of the game.

He played for less than 7 minutes and barely completed the task.

Wade went to the free throw line and the Lakers requested a substitution. Andrew Byram replaced Chris Mihm, who staggered back to the bench exhausted.

It can be seen that the big shark is almost draining him dry.

Andrew Byram, who is bigger in size, was fouled defensively by Wade who broke into the basket less than 30 seconds after entering the court.

Wade's breakthrough at his peak was indeed like lightning and unstoppable, and Byram lacked defensive experience.

But Byram felt that there was nothing wrong with his defense, so he complained to the referee.

"Stop complaining, little baby." After seeing Byram's appeal was fruitless, the Big Shark couldn't help but start his verbal attack mode.

"Shut up, Shaq. You've complained to the referee three times. What was that? Something smaller than a baby? A fertilized egg?" Zhou Ze was the first to stand up for Byram and retort to Shaq.

The great shark was slightly startled.

Bayram looked at Zhou Ze gratefully.

In the Lakers' semi-transition round, Zhou Ze was mismatched with the Big Shark and pulled him to the left corner.

Kobe was on the other side, facing Haslem with a small-man defense.

Well...

In fact, this small-scale attack on the big is not obvious.

Haslem is 203cm tall and Kobe is 198cm tall.

"Rookie, Kobe is a selfish guy. He will never pass the ball to you. Just give up on this idea." O'Neal played a psychological game with Zhou Ze.

"Fatty, I think you should wipe your sweat first." Zhou Ze teased the sweaty O'Neal with a smile on his face.

As a heavy center weighing 147kg and having reached a certain age, O'Neal's physical fitness declined very quickly.

After Kobe's crossover step, he suddenly exploded and rushed towards Haslem, attracting James Posey's help defense. At the same time, Zhou Ze noticed that Wade was moving towards Odom. Zhou Ze immediately accelerated to the top of the arc, and O'Neal was thrown away. Kobe passed the ball behind his head to Zhou Ze at the top of the arc outside the three-point line. With a "swish", Zhou Ze received the ball and made a three-pointer.

This was Zhou Ze's first three-pointer of the game.

22 to 26, the Lakers trailed by 4 points.

After scoring the goal, Zhou Ze said to O'Neal, "Shaq, I should have a cup of coffee and wait for you to come over."

"Rookie, you're really tough!" O'Neal heard the subtext of Zhou Ze's complaints about his slow speed, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Good shot, rookie!" Kobe praised Zhou Zeyan when he saw him shooting at O'Neal.

"Hehe. Kobe, it turns out that walking the shark feels so good." Zhou Ze deliberately said loudly, fearing that O'Neal couldn't hear him.

At this time, Zhou Ze looked like a scumbag who had successfully interfered with other people's relationships, and kept showing his affection in front of other people's ex-boyfriends.
