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

After the game.

Zhou Ze and Danzi also had a chat.

Although both of them had smiles on their faces, the content of the conversation was "unbearable to listen to."

Danzi: "Boy, you only have 3 championship rings, and I have 6."

Zhou Ze: "I've never been eliminated in the first round."

Danzi: ...

Danzi gritted his teeth and said, "I was eliminated by others, but I didn't have enough helpers at the time."

Zhou Ze: "Yeah. I know, weak people like to complain."

Danzi: "Even if I was born in 96, I can beat you to a pulp."

Zhou Ze: "Well, you could do it at that time. After all, I was only in my teens."

Danzi: "I have 10 scoring titles."

Zhou Ze: "I scored 80+ points in a regular season game, and I also hold the highest score in the playoffs and finals. Oh, and I also hold the highest score in the Christmas game. If your career has only been about high scores, I'm afraid you won't even be able to make my top single-game games in the future."

Danzi: "I have five MVP trophies."

Zhou Ze: "You don't have three consecutive MVPs!"

Danzi immediately said angrily: "Don't tell me you have it!"

Zhou Ze: "I may not have it, but the probability is definitely higher than yours. After all, I haven't retired yet."

Danzi: "We in Chicago have 72 regular season wins!"

Zhou Ze: "It seems that this is not difficult."

Danzi was slightly stunned, and suddenly remembered that the Lakers had won 32 consecutive games tonight, and had not lost a single game since the start of this year's regular season.

In the next 50 games, they only need to win 40 games to tie their own record.

Danzi: "Maybe you can win 73 games, huh, but you may not win the championship."

Zhou Ze shuddered and suddenly thought of an old friend.

Zhou Ze: "Michael, originally we might not be able to get it, but you are a crow's mouth. If you say we can't get it, then we will definitely be able to get it."

Danzi was speechless again.

...

...

With only one game left to break the NBA's longest winning streak, the Lakers are naturally the focus of attention across the United States.

The opponent in the 33rd game is the Dallas Mavericks.

The Dallas Mavericks are ranked second in the Western Conference this season.

Nowitzki's one-legged stand has reached perfection.

The Mavericks have also achieved 8 consecutive victories in the past, including victories over strong teams such as the Cleveland Cavaliers, Boston Celtics, Denver Nuggets, and Orlando Magic.

The outside media is very optimistic that the Dallas Mavericks can snipe the Lakers' winning streak.

But Dirk Nowitzki, the leader of the Mavericks, was very humble when he was interviewed by the media before the game.

"This season's Los Angeles team is the strongest team I've ever faced. Even the OK combination nine years ago didn't make me feel so tough."

"Although I know that the outside world is very optimistic about our ability to beat Los Angeles, to be honest, I really can't think of any way to defend Zhou Ze and Kobe Bryant at the same time, the greatest duo in history."

The Mavericks have returned to the ranks of championship-winning teams this season. In addition to the offensive brilliance of star player Dirk Nowitzki, the team also added Jason Kidd, the current triple-double king, who changed the Mavericks' poor outside shooting.

This allowed Jason Terry, who stood only 188cm tall and weighed 82kg, to play as a reserve. While Terry's offensive game was adequate, his defense was a real concern. However, as the team's sixth man, he could compensate for some of his defensive shortcomings against opposing reserves.

Hacker Shawn Marion serves as the team's forward swingman. When the Mavericks play the "extreme space lineup", Marion can serve as the team's No. 4 position.

...

...

As soon as the game started, the scene was just as the outside world had speculated, with a direct confrontation.

Dirk Nowitzki and Zhou Ze exchanged two three-pointers. Dirk Nowitzki, who is 213cm tall, made the shot despite Birdman's defense.

Zhou Ze, who is 208cm tall, also shot against Shawn Marion's long arms.

It is worth mentioning that both of them shot with the ball, rather than the usual space-type inside players catching the ball and shooting.

"Wow, tonight's Dallas Mavericks... directly abandoned the traditional center, Brendan Haywood and Eric Dampier were not on the court. Dirk Nowitzki was directly moved up to the team's No. 5 position." said Zhang, the coach of Tianchao Sports.

"Yes, in this way, the Mavericks will have extreme space, and all five players on the court can shoot three-pointers." Su Qun nodded.

Unlike the era when O'Neal dominated the paint, Zhou Ze not only possessed O'Neal's destructive power around the basket, but he could also shoot three-pointers while holding the ball. Traditional defensive inside players were completely useless against him.

In this case, it would be better to confront him directly.

"Snap!" Zhou Ze, holding the ball, faced Shawn Marion, facing Caron Butler's help defense. He intended to dribble the ball, but was intercepted by the gibberish-like hacker. Compared to post-up offense, Zhou Ze's face-up offense still carries the risk of being intercepted when facing top wing defenders.

Jason Kidd received the pass outside the three-point line and ran for his life.

Although his speed was not slow, Zhou Ze's pursuit speed was too scary.

Jason Kidd, who possesses the best vision in history, noticed Zhou Ze behind him. He did not force his way in, even though there was still a safe distance of one body length. However, he knew better than anyone that with Zhou Ze's height, arm span, and explosive speed, he would definitely be able to complete the chase block.

Kidd transformed into "Kid doesn't attack" and passed the ball to Caron Butler with his head turned and looked at the moon. After receiving the ball, the latter quickly moved his hands and slashed, and with a "swish", he completed the three-pointer.

16 to 18, the Mavericks lead by 2 points.

At this time, the camera on the scene was focused on the team owner, Big Mouth Cuban, who was sitting on the bench.

Cuban is a well-known protective owner among the owners. For the sake of his team, he will go against anyone.

Whether online or offline.

When Zhou Ze first entered the league, Cuban took the lead in making a fuss, asking the Mavericks home fans to shout Zhou Ze MVP in order to alienate the relationship between Zhou Ze and Kobe.

But in the past two years, Cuban has never mocked Zhou Ze in public, and has not even questioned him. This is not because Cuban is low-key, but he is just low-key towards Zhou Ze.

Just half a month ago, Durant beat Dirk Nowitzki to win the Western Conference Player of the Week. Cuban spoke up for Nowitzki and mocked Durant in various ways. Durant was so angry that he specially registered a second account on the Internet, and then he launched a powerful attack on Cuban.

However, Cuban was exceptionally quiet today, like a "rational fan" in meditation, even though they were leading.

Uh....

In fact, as Zhou Ze walked along, he found that no matter how crazy the fans of the other team were before, they would become very rational after meeting him.

Soon, it turned out that Cuban's decision to stay rational was the right one.

Zhou Ze, who had just been intercepted by Shawn Marion, once again launched a one-on-one challenge from the top of the arc. He blew the ball hard and lowered his center of gravity to break through to the right. Marion, with his keen defensive sense, predicted Zhou Ze's breakthrough route, but was still knocked away by Zhou Ze's momentum and continued to rush to the basket. Facing Nowitzki's assist defense, Zhou Ze made a pass to help Chris Andersen, the birdman, under the basket.
