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

Anyone who is not a die-hard fan of the Kings does not believe that their home team can defeat the powerful Lakers.

Most Kings fans just want to see whether Tyreke Evans, the future cornerstone selected by the team, can make a difference against such a strong team?

However...

Evans' performance in the first quarter disappointed Kings fans.

Apart from one assist at the start of the game, the rest were either mistakes or missed shots.

"Hopefully Tyreke can make some changes in the second quarter," said the Kings' home commentator.

"Difficult..." Another commentator shook his head.

"Ah! Man, what's the matter with you? Aren't you usually the one who thinks best of Tyrek?"

"Yes, although I'm very optimistic about Tyreke, he's facing the Los Angeles Lakers today. They have Zhou Wei, the best active player in the NBA, and Kobe Bryant, one of the top three players in NBA history. Of course, the most important thing is that the Lakers seem to be very aware of Tyreke's technical shortcomings."

"If he doesn't hit his outside shot in the second quarter, Los Angeles will definitely continue to leave him open."

"Then Tyreke Evans has only one option left, which is to get to the basket and add to Zhou's blocked shot statistics."

...

...

The game entered the second quarter.

The Lakers' defensive strategy was not like the on-site commentator's, which was to continue leaving Tyreke Evans open.

Ah!

That's right.

The Lakers plan to hone the newcomers.

Phil Jackson sent his backup point guard, Patrick Beverley, to guard Tyreke Evans.

Beverley's current defensive experience cannot be compared with his peak period, but his defensive attitude is even better.

Trash dog!

Wang Wang Wang!

Beverly harassed Evans while talking trash.

Although Evans appeared calm and collected, he couldn't stand Beverly's constant nagging.

When Evans was about to use his body to force his way through Beverley and teach him a lesson, Beverley blocked his breakthrough route in advance. Although he was still knocked away by the 100kg Evans, Kobe's help defense came the next moment.

Evans failed to pass the ball in time.

Kobe's defense was aggressive.

"Snap!" Even though Kobe's fingers were short, he quickly cut the ball off.

After completing the steal, Kobe quickly passed the ball to Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze's ability to run fast without the ball is difficult to catch up with, not to mention the No. 4 position in the same position, even the top No. 3 position.

...

...

"Tyrek, you are overrated by the media."

"If you had met us earlier, you wouldn't have been on the list of best rookies."

Beverley's trash talk continues.

"Shut up, shorty!" Tyreke Evans couldn't help but respond.

"Hey, Tyreke, I'll soon surpass you in points." Beverley, who was hit back by Evans, was not angry at all. Instead, he seemed even more excited.

That's right.

In Beverley's view, Evans had fallen into his own defensive rhythm.

It was not difficult for Evans to pass Beverly, but after passing him, he had Kobe's help defense and Zhou Ze's rim protection.

It is almost impossible to score against such a level of defense.

Evans, holding the ball at the top of the key, asked Spencer Hawes to come in and set a screen. It is worth mentioning that Hawes, influenced by Zhou Ze, has also developed a three-point shooting ability. Although not as good as Marc Gasol of the Lakers, his 38% three-point shooting percentage is obviously not a point that can be left open.

After the pick-and-roll, Evans drove to the basket with the ball, but Beverley, who failed to immediately block the driving route, was directly kicked away. Evans accelerated again, rushing to the basket, and in the paint, he and Jason Thompson formed a 2v1 against Zhou Ze, creating an opportunity for more people to play against fewer people.

But what made Evans feel wrong was that Zhou Ze was very calm and his steps did not become messy because he had to defend two people at the same time.

There was no trace of flaws, which made Evans very uncomfortable.

"no solution anymore!"

Tyreke Evans finally had no choice but to bite the bullet and rush to the basket from Zhou Ze's left, with the goal of attracting Zhou Ze so that he could pass the ball to Jason Thompson.

But Zhou Ze was too patient and maintained a distance of 1 meter.

Evans gritted his teeth, passed the ball, and faked a pass, which deceived Zhou Ze's defense. Relieved, Evans took a step forward, but just as his foot left the floor for a mere 10 centimeters, a huge figure suddenly jumped out and quickly rose into the air.

"Snapped!"

Zhou Ze's big hand pressed heavily on the basketball, completing a stunning block shot.

Evans, who completely lost his balance in the air, also fell backwards.

"OMG!"

"This is too scary!"

"Today is November 2009, 11, but I believe that in a few years, this day will be the day that Tyreke least wants to remember."

...

...

The rookie Beverley will shift his center of gravity too much and lose his defensive position because of his excessive aggressiveness, but with Zhou Ze protecting the basket, the Lakers' defense is still extremely solid.

"Damn it!"

"Could it be true that our strongest rookie couldn't even score a single point against the Lakers' defense?"

The Kings fans gritted their teeth and said with resentment on their faces.

certainly...

This is very difficult.

Even if Zhou Ze personally defended Tyreke Evans, who had unlimited firing rights, it would be unlikely that he could do it.

11 out of 0!!!

At 5 minutes and 18 seconds into the second quarter, Tyreke Evans made his 11th shot of the game.

Evans, who was forced into a desperate situation by the Lakers, finally hit an outside three-pointer after 2 minutes, breaking his scoring drought tonight.

As the second generation of James, Tyreke Evans' shooting is indeed very bad, but not as outrageous as Ben Simmons. To be honest, there is no other player in the history of the NBA who is so afraid of shooting as Ben Simmons.

Evans was locked down by the Lakers, and the game completely lost its suspense at the end of the first half.

69 to 26, the Lakers led their opponents by 43 points at halftime.

Not only that...

Thanks to a large number of rebounds, Zhou Ze got 23 rebounds in the first half.

It is worth mentioning that Zhou Ze got the 4999th rebound in his career.

Just one more rebound away from reaching the 1-rebound milestone.

But what if the second half is garbage time?

The Phil Jackson gritted his teeth and forced Zhou Ze to play despite the boos from the Kings.

...

...

on the other hand.

An NBA regular season game has ended at this time.

Orlando Magic vs. Washington Wizards.

In this game, Dwight Howard got a super double-double of 17 points, 21 rebounds and 3 blocks, and defeated his opponent to win.

This game also brought Howard's career total rebounds to 5001. At the age of 23 years and 96 days, he surpassed Shaquille O'Neal and became the youngest 5000 rebound record holder in NBA history.

The youngest player in NBA history to reach 5000 rebounds.

1. Dwight Howard, age at the time: 24 years and 96 days

2. Shaquille O'Neal, age at the time: 24 years and 194 days

3. Moses Malone, age at the time: 24 years, 279 days

4. Kevin Garnett, age at the milestone: 24 years and 282 days.

After the game, Howard was interviewed by media reporters with a big smile on his face.

Listening to the reporters' congratulations.

But Howard soon realized something was wrong; his right eye was twitching.

This frustrating and familiar feeling came over me again.

For the past four seasons, if his right eye twitched during an interview, it meant...that asshole was about to show up.
