A Hundred Points in a Single Game, Atlanta Conquerors!!!

At the end of the first quarter, Zhou Ze had gone 6-for-8 from the field, 3-for-4 from three, and 5-for-5 from the line, scoring 20 points in the quarter alone.

In the second quarter, the Atlanta Hawks became even more determined to collapse their defense. Zaza Pachulia, Al Horford, and Josh Smith had enough size to protect the rim.

They had simply still underestimated Zhou Ze's mid-range game.

If Jordan's mid-range shot was a weapon of the gods, then Zhou Ze's mid-range shot was capable of slaying gods.

With the ball at the left elbow, Zhou Ze assumed a triple-threat stance and gave a jab step. The lifelike fake directly baited Josh Smith into jumping. Zhou Ze then lowered his center of gravity, took one step forward, and, facing Atlanta's collapsing interior defense, pulled up for a mid-range jumper.

Swish!...

Nothing but net.

Zhou Ze used the same move four straight times, forcing the Atlanta Hawks' head coach to call another timeout.

When the camera focused on Josh Smith, the Atlanta home crowd immediately showered him with boos.

Even those fans who had previously said he had improved couldn't stand him anymore.

Zhou Ze only had to fake, and he jumped...

And you're third in this season's DPOY race?

That was right.

On the DPOY prediction rankings, Zhou Ze had held the top spot from start to finish.

Ranked second and third were Dwight Howard and Josh Smith, respectively.

But it was worth mentioning that no matter which of them faced Zhou Ze, they would get thoroughly beaten.

Zhou Ze seemed to be showing the fans through his actions that the gap between first place and second and third was like an impassable mountain.

With 7:19 left in the second quarter, Zhou Ze boxed out for Rajon Rondo.
