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

January 2010, 01, the Lakers' 21st regular season game.

And this day is destined to be one that Chris Paul will never forget.

He is about to lead the New Orleans Hornets to face the Los Angeles Lakers, whose 39-game winning streak was ended.

"shit!"

"Fuck!"

"Why is it always me who is unlucky?"

Chris Paul couldn't sleep all night before the game.

Because he knew very well that the Lakers would vent all their anger on him.

Before the game.

A reporter who likes to stir up trouble interviewed Chris Paul about the issue of the Lakers' winning streak being ended.

Reporter: "CP3, as an excellent guard in the league, what do you think about the Los Angeles Lakers ending their 39-game winning streak?"

Chris Paul: "Honestly, I think the refereeing in that game was unfair to the Lakers. If you are willing to watch the replay, you can see that the referee missed a lot of calls and made a lot of mistakes."

Paul's words shocked the reporter who wanted to stir up trouble. He really couldn't understand why Paul, who had a grudge against the Lakers, would risk being fined by the league and support the Los Angeles Lakers.

However, although Paul spoke up for the Lakers before the game, he still did not let the Lakers show mercy.

With a "pop!", Zhou Ze caught Paul's jump shot with one hand after the pick-and-roll.

The floater was practiced to avoid the help defense of the big men in the paint, just like Zebei in Slam Dunk. However, for Zhou Ze, who could touch the top of the backboard, this move was only slightly more difficult than blocking a normal layup.

After being blocked, Zhou Ze made a long quarterback pass to Kobe, who completed a one-handed slam dunk while being chased by Peja.

24 is better than 3!

That's right!

Less than 6 minutes into the game, the Lakers had already gone on a 24-3 run. It's worth mentioning that this wasn't all the Lakers' firepower.

Kobe may have been affected by the missed shots in the previous game and his touch has not recovered yet.

But as a superstar, Kobe, the NBA's vice-GOAT, can always find his touch.

After missing four consecutive shots, Kobe's touch suddenly improved.

First, he hit a three-pointer after receiving the ball, and then, in the fast break transition, he faced Paul and made a three-pointer. "Beep!" The referee whistle sounded. Well, to be precise, it was a 3+1.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers beat the Hornets by 53 points, 20 to 33.

Chris Paul, a representative of the league's new generation of point guards, made 5 of 0 shots and scored 2 points by causing Rondo to foul with a big loop.

"OMG!"

"The Lakers are so brutal!"

"yes..."

"I thought the team's overall morale would be affected after the Thunder ended their winning streak in the last game..."

"But judging from their performance today, they weren't affected at all. In today's game, the New Orleans Hornets seemed to be on the verge of being beaten in one quarter."

...

...

In the second quarter of the game, the Lakers continued with their normal rotation.

Rajon Rondo, who had previously exchanged insults with Paul on the Internet, has started the "fighting" mode.

Two highly intelligent players, constantly making small moves.

Paul can barely handle Rondo alone, but if Beverley is added to the mix, Paul will be in real trouble.

In the game against the Lakers, every second on the court was a source of pride for Paul.

David West made a high-post pass, but Kobe saw through it and started a fast break after stealing the ball. Paul wanted to lead the defense to delay the ball, but as a heavy defender, Kobe not only had T1 skills, but also had a strong body. With a "bang", Kobe rushed to the penalty area and completed a slam dunk over Paul.

76 is better than 30!

At the end of the first half, the Lakers' lead reached 46 points.

There was complete silence on the Hornets bench.

Even the team's head coach, Byron Scott, remained silent.

As a former Lakers legend, Byron Scott looked at Phil Jackson, Kobe Bryant and others with resentment, as if to say: "I treat you as my friends, but you treat me like a Japanese!!!"

In the second half of the game, the Phil Jackson did not let Kobe continue to play.

As for Zhou Ze, he only went on the court to get 3 assists and was replaced after getting a triple-double.

However, the Lakers' starting lineup clocking in does not mean that the substitutes also have to clock in.

Patrick Beverley waved his arm from the bench and shouted, "Guys, we must not let up."

"Hehe...don't you want to experience the joy of 58 on them for once?"

So Beverley, Odom, Artest and other tough guys not only failed to allow the Hornets to close the score, but even widened the gap to 58 points before the end of the game.

This led 58 Paul to lead the team directly back to the locker room after the game.

...

...

The Los Angeles Lakers once again beat the Hornets by 58 points, which not only earned Rajon Rondo tens of thousands of All-Star votes overnight, but also saw the rise of Beverley, who currently ranks 8th among Western Conference backcourt players.

As for Chris Paul, he fell from fourth to fifth in the Western Conference backcourt and was defeated by the Yellow Mamba Brandon Roy.

After defeating the Hornets, the Lakers won four more games in a row and achieved another five-game winning streak.

Just when Lakers fans thought they were about to start another winning streak, they were sniped by the Boston Celtics on the road.

What surprised Zhou Ze was...

After joining the Celtics, Tracy McGrady is in even better shape than last year.

...

...

With the arrival of a new week, the league has also selected the best rookies and best players in the East and West for the past week.

east:

Rookie of the Week: Brandon Jennings.

Player of the Week: LeBron James.

west:

Rookie of the Week: Stephen Curry.

Player of the Week: Yao Ming.

As the season progresses, the tacit understanding between Yao Ming and Curry is getting better and better; in addition, although Monta Ellis, the Paper Mamba, did not like Curry at the beginning of the season, it has to be said that this baby-faced boy has charisma and domineering aura. Half a season has passed, and Ellis has accepted Curry from the bottom of his heart. For this reason, the team's record has also been climbing all the way. It is currently ranked sixth in the Western Conference and is likely to compete in this year's playoffs.

When facing an interview with reporters, Curry also said domineeringly that he would definitely lead the team into the playoffs.

These remarks also caused Curry's All-Star votes to soar.

And Curry's main rival is Tyreke Evans.

Including this week, he has lost the title of Western Conference Player of the Week for two consecutive weeks.

No way...

Every time after being beaten badly by the Lakers led by Zhou Ze, it takes a long time to recover.
