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

After Darko Milicic officially joined the Lakers, he did not send a text message to the team leader Kobe Bryant first, but to Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze also expressed his sincere welcome to this 03 second-place winner.

The entire Lakers team was also very enthusiastic about Darko Milicic, who flew to New Orleans without stopping to fight alongside everyone.

But there is one exception, and that is Sasha Vujacic.

He really couldn't understand how this disgusting and uncomfortable rookie could have such charisma.

Darko Milicic and the Lakers participated in the team practice this morning.

In the team's training game, Darko Milicic showed his talent to be selected as the second pick in a big draft year.

Darko Milicic, 213cm tall and 120kg in weight, has solid footwork, passing ability and a good shot.

However, during his two and a half years with the Pistons, he never gained the team's trust and missed the best opportunity to improve his game.

But the talent is there.

In the team training match, Darko Milicic blocked Vujacic twice in a row, one was a breakthrough layup by Vujacic, and the other was a mid-range shot by Vujacic. Darko Milicic rushed directly from the basket to the free throw line, showing a very good assist defense ability.

In his previous life, Darko Milicic was traded to the Magic this season. In the 30 games he played for the Magic, he averaged 20 points, 7.1 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.1 blocks per game in a limited 2.1 minutes.

In terms of talent and foundation, he is only stronger than Kwame Brown, who is also a famous counterfeit in the league.

After all, Darko Milicic was the second pick in a big draft year.

After the game, Darko Milicic, wearing the Lakers No. 58 jersey, sweating and panting, accepted an interview with the media.

"Dakko, what makes you so active in participating in tonight's game?" the reporter asked with a smile.

"Here are my favorite teammates..." Darko Milicic smiled and glanced at Zhou Ze who was playing one-on-one with Kobe in the other half of the court after the team training game.

As a handsome Serbian boy, Darko Milicic has not shown such a sunny smile and bright eyes in front of the media for a long time.

"I want to make progress so much!"

"I really want to make progress!"

The next moment, Darko Milicic's eyes became extremely determined.

Before the game against the New Orleans Hornets, the betting company announced the latest MVP odds.

Kobe Bryant scored 81 points to defeat the Dragon and ranked second on the list for the first time.

Top 10:

Steve Nash (No. 1 last time, No. 1 this time)

Kobe Bryant (third in the previous issue, second in this issue)

LeBron James (second last time, third this time)

Dirk Nowitzki (fourth in the previous period, fourth in this period)

Chauncey Billups (fifth in the previous period, fifth in this period)

The remaining five players are: Shaquille O'Neal, Dwyane Wade, Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Allen Iverson.

Among the top 10 players on the MVP list, except for the top three who are competitive, the remaining 7 are just runners-up.

I wouldn't dare say there's a 100% chance of getting the MVP, but at least there's a 1000% chance.

There are two reasons why Steve Nash, who averaged less than 20 points per game, can lead the MVP race:

1. He brought the Suns from the lottery zone to a championship-contending team, proved the feasibility of the run-and-gun tactics, and the team's style of play was gorgeous.

2. The American media’s favorite little guy counterattack script.

but...

This season, the Lakers have been completely transformed after Zhou Ze joined the team. They can dunk, shoot three-pointers, and occasionally knock out their opponents with elbows, just like in the UFC.

The competition was also quite exciting.

In terms of team record, the Lakers are 3 wins behind the Suns.

With the return of Amar'e Stoudemire, the Suns' record has soared, while the Lakers are currently in a "trough".

As for personal ability, Kobe's crazy scoring performance shocked the entire league. It is obviously extremely unfair to compare him with Nash.

But Kobe's problem lies in his reputation, such as forcing O'Neal to leave and playing a selfish style of play.

Of course, things have improved now.

But in general, if the Lakers want to surpass Steve Nash on the list and win this year's MVP, their record must at least be close to that of the Phoenix Suns.

If there were a few more scoring feasts to add buffs, the MVP would be even more secure.

Tonight marks the second meeting of the season between the New Orleans Hornets and the Los Angeles Lakers.

The last time they met, the Hornets were beaten badly by the Lakers.

Zhou Ze used Chris Paul as an eight-fold mirror, setting a new NBA three-point record and winning the Western Conference Rookie of the Month award.

Before the rematch, Chris Paul couldn't help but frown when he mentioned Zhou Ze to reporters before the game.

"I admit that Zhou does have a pretty good three-point shot, but he was too accurate when facing us last time. That's not the level he should be at."

"I don't believe Lady Luck can always take care of him."

Apparently...

Chris Paul was very dissatisfied with Zhou Ze's victory over him and repeatedly snatching away his Rookie of the Week award.

Before the game started, Paul secretly vowed to teach that guy a lesson.

The Hornets' starting lineup was almost the same as the last time they played: Chris Paul, Kirk Snyder, Desmond Mason, David West and PJ Brown.

The Lakers will also use their regular starting five tonight. New member Darko Milicic will serve as Kwame Brown's substitute.

...

...

"Wow, brother..."

"elder brother..."

"Did you see that? Darko, our Serbian big man is wearing a Lakers jersey."

"He should be able to play tonight."

A fat guy from Serbia, holding a half-drunk bottle of Coke in his hand, sat on the sofa and watched the game between the Hornets and the Lakers tonight.

"Nikola, drink less Coke. Don't forget, your basketball coach told you to drink less!!!" A burly young man angrily snatched the Coke from the fat boy's hand.

"But brother... I don't like basketball. My dream is horse racing..." The little fat boy rolled his eyes and said speechlessly.

"Really? Well, it looks like we have to play a game of darts then." The young man said with a smile.

The little fat boy who loves drinking Coke immediately jumped up from the sofa.

The brothers' dart game was horrible, they would often tie themselves up and use them as targets.

OMG!

...

...

After the game started, the Hornets still used the pick-and-roll between Paul and the inside players as their starting point for offense.

He first played a high pick-and-roll with David West. The moment Parker was caught by David West, Paul lowered his body and accelerated to break through and faced Zhou Ze.

Paul made a sideways dragging step, tricking Zhou Ze into retreating and moving towards the basket.

After shifting his position, Paul took a mid-range shot.

Mid-range is Paul's forte.

But when he faced Zhou Ze, it was as if he had encountered a demon in his heart.

After the start, he made two consecutive mid-range shots, both of which ended in misses.

After the Lakers grabbed the defensive rebound, they quickly launched a counterattack. Zhou Ze scored 1 points through 2 fast breaks in less than 5 minute after the start of the game.

Once, facing David West who failed to retreat in time, he received the ball and hit a three-pointer.

Another time, he faced Paul in the low post, forced a shot, and knocked the opponent over while completing a double-handed dunk.

This made Chris Paul furious, and he yelled at his inside teammates who did not come to help him defend immediately.
