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

Mark Cuban, the owner of the Dallas Mavericks, looked down on Zhou Ze before the game, but after the game he said that Zhou Ze was the strongest player of the Lakers.

This is not to say that Zhou Ze defeated Cuban.

This is the "tactical strategy" of the Mavericks management against the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Mavericks, who are determined to win the championship, will definitely face this young Los Angeles Lakers.

The playoffs adopt a best-of-seven format, and it is difficult for the Lakers to defeat Dallas, at least this year, but with the growth of Zhou Ze and a group of young players.

The Los Angeles Lakers will definitely become the toughest stumbling block on Dallas' road to the championship.

To this end, the Mavericks, who are prepared for a rainy day, are now adopting the "divide and conquer" strategy.

after all...

Who is Kobe?

The man who even the most dominant center in the league can't suppress.

Who is Zhou Ze?

Iron Elbow Across the River is also a person who is unwilling to be inferior to others.

...

...

After defeating the Dallas Mavericks, the Los Angeles Lakers flew to cold Memphis on February 2.

On the team's private plane.

The Lakers players also chatted about gossip.

Anyone who is a villain likes to pry into other people's privacy.

Gossip is a weakness of human nature.

Even Zhou Ze, who is known as a gentleman, is not immune to this.

One of the topics was about Mark Cuban.

This guy likes to use baby lotion on his face.

However, in Zhou Ze's opinion, there is nothing wrong with speaking the truth.

If it can be used by babies, it can definitely be used by adults.

soon...

Teammates talked about how Cuban publicly stated to reporters after losing the game that Zhou Ze was the strongest player on the Lakers.

Not only that, even Mavericks coach Avery Johnson expressed similar views.

Kobe, who was wearing Beast headphones and sitting near the window, did not hear it.

After all, the teammates were talking in a relatively quiet voice.

At this moment, Zhou Ze, who was sitting next to him, immediately stood up and shouted at his teammates: "Guys, don't talk nonsense... Kobe, he is the core of our team."

Zhou Ze, who had a loud voice, asked Kobe to take off his earmuffs and look up.

"Mark Cuban, this guy doesn't appreciate me, he just wants to sow discord between us and cause us to fight among ourselves."

"He actually said I was the best player in Los Angeles, a superstar in the league. That's so shameless... ahem... no, that's a lie..."

"Humph, he won't dare to flatter me to death."

After Zhou Ze finished speaking righteously, he sat down.

Looking at Zhou Ze, whose brows were furrowed above his mouth and whose mouth corners were more depressed than AK...

Kobe rolled his eyes speechlessly.

He knew Zhou Ze well, and he had always wanted to overthrow Tian Gang and seize his throne.

And it is precisely because of this that Zhou Ze won Kobe's heartfelt respect.

...

...

In the game against the Memphis Grizzlies, Zhou Ze continued his three-point shooting touch from the start of the previous game.

4 Logo-shoots scored 2 goals.

A terrifying 50% hit rate.

This forced the Memphis Grizzlies to change their defensive strategy against him. Just like their opponent in the previous game, the Dallas Mavericks, they started to defend Zhou Ze closely as soon as he crossed half court.

This made the Grizzlies' star player, Pau Gasol, feel inexplicably depressed.

The ones defending Pau Gasol tonight are Kwame Brown/Dakko Milicic. Although their defensive habits and positioning cannot be compared with those of the inside defensive gates, they can still cause a lot of trouble to Pau Gasol. After his speed increased dramatically, Zhou Ze began to show his talent in assisting defense.

Pau Gasol, who played for eight minutes in the first quarter, was drenched in sweat when he was substituted out, his No. 8 Grizzlies jersey soaked with sweat. He shot 16 for 9 from the field and 3 for 2 from the free throw line, finishing with eight points, two rebounds, one assist, and one block, identical to Zhou Ze's first-quarter stats.

But Zhou Ze only took 6 shots, made 5 of 2 three-pointers, and scored once on a fast break.

And all of Pau Gasol's 9 shots were scored in close combat under the basket.

"Why don't I develop my three-point shot?" This thought involuntarily popped up in Pau Gasol's mind as he sat on the sidelines.

...

...

The player the Grizzlies sent out to defend Zhou Ze tonight was Sean Battier.

Just like the previous game, Zhou Ze's scoring in positional battles was limited. In addition, in the fast break, Battier cleverly used the "offensive foul" to make Zhou Ze have 3 fouls at the end of the first half.

Battier's defensive positioning is particularly good, and his defense is not reckless. Facing Zhou Ze's cut-in in positional battles, he always gets into position in advance and falls down the moment he is hit.

However, after Zhou Ze returned to the court in the third quarter, he was full of energy. He used the threat of three-pointers and accelerated without the ball to get rid of Sean Battier. After receiving Kobe's ground pass, he jumped up in one step, like a fire burning the sky, and completed a "shooting star dunk" across the basket from Pau Gasol who came to assist in defense.

Pau Gasol was knocked to the ground by Zhou Ze, and the basketball was smashed in at the same time.

and-one scored!

Zhou Ze didn't use the meteor dunk very often. Firstly, it was difficult to guarantee the hit rate; secondly, Zhou Ze never forgot that he was a fragile player.

But I don't know why...

Whenever he meets Pau Gasol, Zhou Ze can't help but want to do it, ahem, no, smash one.

After completing the dunk, Zhou Ze looked at Darko Milicic on the court with an expressionless face.

The latter understood what he meant, took big strides, ran towards Zhou Ze excitedly, and hugged him with both hands.

"No wonder... Zhou and Dako have been so close lately. It turns out he has this side job."

"I have to react faster next time."

Kwame Brown, who was rotated out not long ago and was sitting on the bench, did a "review" in his mind.

This also caused deafening boos in the Grizzlies' home court.

No matter how good a defensive player is, it is impossible for him to concentrate every minute and every second of the game.

Sean Battier still had moments of negligence while defending Zhou Ze. Zhou Ze, whose main offensive means were restricted, scored 16 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal by stealing points.

In the end, the Lakers won the game with a score of 109 to 99, a 10-point advantage.

...

...

The last game of the week is back at the Los Angeles Lakers' home court against the Utah Jazz.

The main weapon used to defend Zhou Ze is AK47.

Eh...

It's another day where we can only score by stealing.

What's worse is that Zhou Ze's three-point shooting bag seemed to have been stolen by Lao Liu, it was a piece of iron.

However, Zhou Ze has a good basic rebounding ability. He grabbed the rebounds through continuous bounces in several competitions with Carlos Boozer.

AK47, who was mainly defending Zhou Ze, performed well on both offense and defense in the first half of the game and could indeed be described as an all-around warrior.

半场就拿下了13分4篮板2抢断1盖帽2助攻。

However, after the game entered the second half...

After the pick-and-roll, when AK switched to defend Kobe, he blocked Kobe twice in one round, but in the next round, Kobe responded to AK2's defense with a dunk.

It seems that this dunk has shaken AK47's mentality.

Immediately afterwards, Kobe scored with AK2 in two consecutive rounds.

Zhou Ze, smoking in the corner, couldn't help but sigh, "Younger fans like to say AK47 is Green's Pulse version, but in terms of tricks, mentality, and willpower, the difference between AK47 and Green is like that between Bronny James and LeBron James."
