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

2010 4 Month 14 Day.

The Los Angeles Lakers will face the Atlanta Hawks on the road in their final regular season game.

The Hawks have also played 81 regular season games so far, with a record of 53 wins and 28 losses, ranking fourth in the Eastern Conference.

The core of the team has gradually shifted from "Joe Johnson" to "Josh Smith". However, because the Hawks have to meet the Lakers 2-3 times every season, every confrontation will make the Hawks management hesitate whether to let Josh Smith become the core of the team.

Josh Smith, like Rodney Stuckey, publicly mocked and questioned Zhou Ze's worthiness to be compared with Michael Jordan.

Although Zhou Ze did not respond directly to this.

But those who know Zhou Ze know that he is not that "generous".

...

...

Tonight's starting lineups for both teams:

[Hawks]: Mike Bibby, Joe Johnson, Josh Smith, Al Horford, Zaza Pachulia.

【Lakers】: Rajon Rondo, Patrick Beverley, Ron Artest, Zhou Ze and Jermaine O'Neal.

Um...

That's right.

Kobe will rest tonight to recharge his energy for the NBA playoffs.

As for competing for the MVP, to be honest, Kobe is not very interested. In his opinion, the final winner, um, the championship, is much more valuable than the MVP.

As for Zhou Ze's personality, he definitely wants all the honors.

Two of the Lakers' three centers, Marc Gasol, Chris Andersen and JaVale McGee, were rested, leaving only McGee as a substitute for O'Neal.

The Lakers, without Kobe, also gave their opponents hope before the game.

"Although Los Angeles has already won 75 games this season, the Lakers without Kobe are bound to see their strength decline significantly. And... you outside media are all saying that Zhou... will score 100 points in the game against us tonight and lock up this year's MVP award? I just want to say... this is simply impossible."

"Even if you can see aliens invade our Earth, you can't see Zhou scoring 100 points in our home court."

"By the way, LeBron James should have won the regular season MVP this year."

Zaza Pachulia said with some disdain.

certainly...

These words must have been exaggerated by media reporters and passed on to Zhou Ze before the game.

"Haha, actually I'm not particularly interested in MVP. As for scoring 100 points in a single game... that's indeed very difficult. I'm afraid I won't be able to do it in my lifetime." Zhou Ze's answer was still so high-sounding.

However, deep down in his heart, he had the idea of ​​scoring 100 points in a single game.

...

...

After the game started, both sides jumped the ball. As a veteran, O'Neal Jr. burst out with energy that surprised the commentators on the scene. With a "bang", he won the game against the young and strong Pachulia.

The Hawks sent Josh Smith to defend Zhou Ze.

As soon as Zhou Ze broke through, the Hawks immediately tightened their defense, actively rotated on the outside, and tried to block three-pointers as much as possible.

Zhou Ze, who saw through the Hawks' defensive intentions at a glance, asked for the ball directly at the top of the arc and asked O'Neal Jr. to come forward for a screen and roll. This is the Lakers' most classic 4-5 position screen and roll, and it is also the offensive tactic that other teams fear the most.

"Bang!" O'Neal blocked Josh Smith, who was weak in lateral movement. Pachulia rushed to save him, but it was too late. Zhou Ze directly pulled up for a three-pointer. With a "swish", the shot hit the target without missing a beat.

"Good defense! Atlanta's cornerstone player!" Zhou Ze said with a smile after scoring the goal.

The mocking face and the ambiguous tone made Josh Smith crazy.

In the next round, Josh Smith also received the ball at the top of the arc, and Artest, who was defending him, was pushed into a three-pointer by him.

Seeing Josh Smith's quick and decisive response, the Hawks fans at the scene couldn't help but cheer.

“Wow…Wow…Wow…”

"Josh...he's kind of a superstar now!"

"Yes!"

"I told you, Josh Smith is not the same anymore."

...

...

"Shit!" Artest, who was pushed into the goal, couldn't help but curse.

Josh Smith's shooting rhythm was disrupted and his shooting hand shape was deformed, but he still made the shot. This was obviously due to luck.

certainly...

Luck is also based on excellent static talents.

only...

Josh Smith chose the wrong target.

Zhou Ze likes to play answer-ball the most. In the next ball, he didn't even ask for a pick-and-roll. He ran back to the top of the arc and faced Josh Smith's defense. With a "ding", the basketball bounced high.

Seeing this, Josh Smith's mouth corners were harder to suppress than AK, but the next second, his expression fell again.

The basketball bounced high and fell straight into the basket.

"Shit luck!" Josh Smith muttered.

"Hehe...then try to score another goal." Zhou Ze said while running back to defend with a smile.

Josh Smith, whose shot selection was already poor and whose emotional intelligence and basketball IQ were even worse than Howard's, was quickly irritated by Zhou Ze's trash talk.

He also planned to imitate Zhou Ze and take a three-pointer after catching the ball at the top of the arc, but this time the person defending him was not the aging Artest.

When Josh Smith caught the ball and jumped, he found a shadow covering the sky and looming above his head. The extreme defensive pressure and threat scared Josh Smith so much that he dared not shoot.

"drop!"

Josh Smith, who failed to shoot the basketball, was called for an offensive violation by the referee.

"You cowardly little chicken, are you worthy enough to be the new king of Atlanta?" Zhou Ze continued to taunt.

This season is Zhou Ze's fifth season. Compared with the previous four seasons, Zhou Ze found that knocking down the opponent is far less satisfying than breaking down the opponent's psychological defenses.

certainly...

Knocking over or sending the opponent flying is just a trivial means.

Soon, Zhou Ze faced Josh Smith's entanglement in a fast break. He stopped and started suddenly, accelerated instantly, and used his domineering and terrifying power to directly knock Josh Smith away. After breaking into the penalty area, Zhou Ze completed a two-handed dunk with a step-up.

After completing the dunk, Zhou Ze hung on the basket, overlooking the fallen Josh Smith.

This scene made the Eagles fans and Josh fans at the scene feel distressed.

But the next second, it turned into disappointment...

Facing Zhou Ze's defense, Josh Smith actually chose to take a three-pointer. As a result, Zhou Ze took a step forward, stretched out his long arms, and completed the steal.
