Well...

It is worth mentioning that this was not photoshopped by a talented netizen.

Instead, it was taken by one of Kobe's talented and handsome teammates.

It's just that Kobe's smile was a little stiff, and he looked like he was forced to do it.

in addition...

There is another picture that has gone viral in China.

Zhou Ze, wearing the Lakers' No. 0 jersey, also held up an A4 white paper in his hand. In addition to the words "100 points", there was also a line of small words "and Kobe" below.

Well...

This picture was photoshopped by a talented netizen.

战胜多伦多猛龍后，本周（1月22日——1月28日）接下来只有1场比赛。

On January 1, the Lakers faced the Golden State Warriors at their home court.

The Lakers had it easy this week.

Only 2 games.

This left Zhou Ze with a lot of time for training.

Five days passed.

[Inside Defense] attribute +2, increased to [72] (96).

The effectiveness of training is not only related to the upper limit of talent, but also to the length of training.

In the past twenty days, the competitions were too frequent and Zhou Ze did not have much time for training.

The training effect is naturally limited.

After the special training on inside defense is over, Zhou Ze will take the initiative to play one-on-one with Kobe.

Since his last win, Zhou Ze started his losing streak.

But now Zhou Ze can already cause a lot of trouble to Kobe in one-on-one matches.

On the defensive end, Zhou Ze's jumping speed has transformed compared to the beginning of the season. What's more, he also possesses the [Bounce Master] and the second jump speed, which can occasionally interfere with Kobe's shot.

On the offensive end, Zhou Ze's three-pointer after receiving the ball was too sloppy, and his face-to-face breakthrough after receiving the ball has improved.

The ball-guard will be used to prevent Kobe from stealing the ball at the moment of starting.

After missing the shot, Zhou Ze's newly acquired [Rebounding Master], the improvement in offensive rebounding, and the height advantage allowed Zhou Ze to "rely on the rebound" to a certain extent.

It was becoming increasingly difficult for Kobe to win, but at the same time, he was becoming increasingly excited.

As Kobe said, he is still young and has huge room for improvement.

This is also what Zhou Ze admires Kobe for.

Never satisfied.

Always on the road to progress.

On January 1, the game between the Lakers and the Warriors kicked off at the Staples Center.

Not long after the game started, Baron Davis and Kobe started a scoring competition.

The first generation bearded Davis used his explosive power and a simple pick-and-roll to get past Death God Parker. Kwame Brown couldn't catch up with him at all. He rushed to the basket and faced Zhou Ze running towards him from the weak side. Davis took the ball, jumped into the air to seek confrontation, and scored the ball.

Zhou Ze's defensive work was actually not bad, but Davis is fast and strong. Not only is he fast and explosive, but he also has terrifying core strength, and can maintain a stable shot after the confrontation.

"Zhou, although his interior defensive awareness has improved a lot, his explosive acceleration ability is still a bit weak, which greatly limits his ability to help defense." The Lakers assistant coach said with regret.

Zen Master Phil Jackson did not speak.

Zhou Ze's explosive acceleration ability, that is, his explosive power, is only 60 (110). He is a bit slow at the moment of starting. In addition, his arm span is not excellent.

There is no good way to deal with a guard as impactful as Baron Davis.

"Big guy, your defense was timely, but you were still a little slow!" Byron Davis said with some pride after scoring the goal.

"Hey man, next time you come in, I'll elbow you!" Zhou Ze threatened viciously.

Baron Davis laughed in anger and said, "Rookie...sometimes I really think you've been possessed by those old guys from the 90s."

Soon, Kobe also responded. After getting into position in the left elbow area, he deceived Michael Pietrus's center of gravity with a three-threat, then he lowered his body and accelerated to break through, used the power chair to drive away his opponent, and after gaining a half-body lead, he received the ball and scored a layup.

After the game started, the two sides were evenly matched.

After Baron Davis once again passed Death God Parker, facing Odom's help defense, Davis made an abrupt stop and took a hesitation step with a floating ball. Odom immediately returned to defense, and Parker also took a step back. Davis took the opportunity to make an abrupt stop and shot, but with a "bang", the shot missed.

Rebounding battle.

The Warriors' power forward, who is 211cm tall and weighs 111kg, not only has the three-point space attribute, but also averages 10+ rebounds per game and 3.6 offensive rebounds last season. Troy Murphy fought fiercely for position with Zhou Ze, but after pushing Zhou Ze several times, he not only failed to grab the position, but was also called for a rebounding foul by the referee.

"Wow!"

"Zhou, good rebounding."

"Zhou, it's hard!"

The Lakers home fans couldn't help but cheer, they were sincerely happy for their rookie who had just grown up on the rebounds.

You know, at the beginning of the season, Zhou Ze was often knocked over by other inside players.

Zhou Ze's defensive rebounds, as long as he got into position early, with his excellent strength, few players could successfully steal the rebounds. But occasionally, he would be robbed by tall, long arms, and quick inside players.

Soon, Zhou Ze suddenly ran from the top of the arc to the left corner on the offensive end. On the other side, Kobe formed a strong defensive side by running without the ball on the right wing.

There are 3 defensive players on the strong side of defense.

There are only two defensive players on the weak side.

Troy Murphy was left behind by Zhou Ze's speed. Zhou Ze received the pass in the corner and faced the defense that was half a beat slow, so he raised his hand and hit a three-pointer.

This made Troy Murphy spread his hands helplessly.

I really can't catch up with Zhou Ze.

Throughout the first half, Zhou Ze had a pretty good three-point shooting percentage, making 5 of 3 shots.

After entering the second half, Zhou Ze's three-pointers suddenly became inaccurate and he missed twice in a row. But even so, when the opportunity came, Zhou Ze still shot confidently without any hesitation.

With a "bang", Zhou Ze missed the shot again this time, but after landing, Zhou Ze suddenly started, squeezed past Troy Murphy's right wing, and leaped towards the free throw line.

"Snapped!"

A crisp voice sounded.

Warriors small forward Mike Dunleavy and Lakers small forward Lamar Odom, who were wrestling for position at the free throw line, saw a black shadow pass by and the basketball in the air disappeared.

"Wow..."

"That was a good offensive rebound."

"Yeah, Xiao Zhou's offensive rebounding is really brutal."

“It’s like a rebound helicopter!”
