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

"Kobe, why don't you call and ask later." Vanessa looked at Kobe who was still sulking and suggested with a smile.

"What? Should I call? No! That's impossible!" Kobe refused directly.

After that, Kobe did not forget to add: "Even if that little bastard calls me personally, I won't answer his call."

Vanessa smiled but didn't say much.

About an hour passed.

Kobe's cell phone rang.

Vanessa noticed a flash of pride and joy on Kobe's face, but the moment he answered the phone, his face was indifferent and his tone was even colder.

But the shameless person on the other end of the phone ignored Kobe's cold tone and said, "Kobe, what did you call me to talk about before?"

Kobe was reluctant to talk more at first, but he couldn't resist Zhou Ze's thick skin.

Kobe told Zhou Ze about his dunk idea.

Some of the ideas were really good, which made Zhou Ze excited.

But Zhou Ze complained angrily about some of the creative ideas: "Kobe, do you think I don't want to take off from the free throw line and do a crotch switch in the middle? Come on, I'm a 120kg serious inside player!"

Vanessa looked at Kobe, who was excitedly chatting with Zhou Ze, and couldn't help shaking her head. She still clearly remembered that her man had said not long ago that he would not answer Zhou Ze's call, but now it seems that he should completely put this matter behind him.

...

...

The time came to February 2th, Yanjing time (February 19th, US time).

Zhou Ze, Kobe, and many young players of the Lakers came to the venue of this year's All-Star Game - the Houston Toyota Center.

"Hey, man, how are your preparations?" Darko Milicic, one of the parallel brothers, said with anticipation.

"Very good." Zhou Ze said with a smile.

"Man, you're facing some tough competition this time..." Luke Walton said.

But before he could finish his words, Kwame Brown, another member of the Parallel Brothers, interrupted him: "Luke, with Zhou's dunking ability, if there were no shady dealings in the competition, he would definitely be the champion of this year's slam dunk contest."

"Zhou, I believe you can do it too..." At this time, a refreshing voice came from behind the crowd.

Andrew Byram, who was keen on picking up girls, was the first to look back, even though he was recovering from an injury at the time, and a shocked expression appeared on his face.

"Wow..."

"Maria Sharapova!"

The person who came was the tennis beauty - Sharapova.

The Lakers players were quite surprised that Sharapova would also come to the All-Star Weekend.

Ok!

No doubt!

This must be for Zhou Ze.

"Haha." Zhou Ze laughed heartily, "I'm ready for everything I need to prepare, right, Kobe?"

As he said this, he did not forget to glance at Kobe.

Kobe nodded.

According to Zhou Ze's current fame, as long as his performance in the slam dunk contest is not particularly bad, the championship of the slam dunk contest will undoubtedly be his.

But there's always a chance...

It is not impossible that the league deliberately blacklisted Zhou Ze's slam dunk contest championship for the sake of traffic and exposure.

What's more, Zhou Ze is not a native American player.

...

...

Before the slam dunk contest, there was the three-point contest.

Feeling a bit bored, Zhou Ze and the Lakers players first went to the three-point shooting contest.

At this time, the host had just finished introducing the players of the three-point shooting contest when Zhou Ze and his team suddenly arrived.

When the camera turned to Zhou Ze, a handsome face appeared on the big screen, which immediately aroused the enthusiastic cheers of the fans at the scene.

"week!"

"week!"

"week!"

Many fans shouted Zhou Ze's name loudly.

As the player with the highest three-point production and the most hits in the league, he did not participate in this year's three-point contest, which is a regret for many fans.

You know, there are many famous stars participating in the three-point contest this year, such as: Gilbert Arenas, Ray Allen, Chauncey Billups, Dirk Nowitzki, Quentin Richardson and Jason Terry.

However...

In the field of three-pointers, Zhou Ze seems to be the "king" in the hearts of fans.

The fans cheered louder when he appeared than any other contestant.

This also made Sharapova, who came with Zhou Ze, slightly stunned. She had watched Zhou Ze's game at the Lakers and knew that Zhou Ze's popularity in Los Angeles was second only to Kobe, but she did not expect that he was also so popular in the eyes of NBA fans across the United States.

The champion of this three-point contest is Dirk Nowitzki, a 213cm tall power forward.

...

...

Time soon came to the slam dunk contest.

The slam dunk contest receives just as much attention during NBA weekends as the All-Star Game.

Zhou Ze did a thorough warm-up before the official competition.

The focus and professionalism of the warm-up surprised Sharapova, who is also an athlete.

Although other contestants also did warm-up, their warm-up seemed a bit too casual compared to Zhou Ze's.

Especially Josh Smith, who entered the NBA right after graduating from high school.

Zhou Ze's warm-up was very solid, without any sloppiness, and he tried his best to activate every muscle.

"It can be seen that Zhou really wants to win the slam dunk contest!" Sharapova said secretly.

Adequate warm-up can help Zhou Ze adjust his body to an excellent state, and at the same time, it can greatly avoid injuries.

...

...

The rules of the slam dunk contest before 2007 were very incomplete. Nate Robinson, a little potato in history, took a full 2006 attempts to dunk in the 17 slam dunk contest, and eventually beat Andre Iguodala to win the slam dunk contest championship that year.

It became the darkest slam dunk contest in NBA history!!!

In the first round of the slam dunk contest, there are four contestants, each of whom slam dunks twice, and the two with the highest scores advance to the next round.

Josh Smith, who was also on the court, was clearly rewarding himself the night before. His jump wasn't as high as usual, requiring four attempts to land a pull-up dunk with a crotch-to-hand switch. Furthermore, the one time he did manage it, his body wasn't very flexible. He only scored 4 points.

The highest total score for each dunk is 50 points, and the lowest is 30 points. 41 points, to be honest, is at the bottom of the level.

The second one to appear was the little potato "Nate Robinson". Nate Robinson, whose official height is 175cm, but in fact is not that little potato, has a very obvious advantage in the dunk contest - jumping height.

In order to enter the second round of the finals, he actually used his ultimate move in advance.

It took three chances before he successfully jumped over old potato Spud Weber and won a high score of 3 points.

The third player to appear was Andrew Iguodala. His first dunk was also coordinated by Allen Iverson. It was a reverse dunk after hitting the backboard. It must be said that Iguodala's flexibility, sense of stagnation and flying height in the air brought a strong visual impact to the fans, but even so, Andrew Iguodala only scored 48 points.
