The Boston Celtics: We Will Drill Zhou Ze with Kendrick Perkins!

The high-powered Phoenix Suns found themselves stretched thin against the Los Angeles Lakers' defense, chiefly because their offensive approach was far too one-dimensional.

The pick-and-roll between Steve Nash and Amar'e Stoudemire struggled to tear through the Lakers' defensive line.

As for the Lakers' offensive firepower, it far exceeded Phoenix head coach Alvin Gentry's expectations. Before the series began, Gentry had planned to start Channing Frye at center to provide maximum spacing, but to his surprise, Frye was quickly played off the floor by Zhou Ze.

They switched to Robin Lopez, a traditional big man with a height of 213 centimeters, a weight of over 120 kilograms, and an excellent wingspan. He should have provided solid rim protection, but unexpectedly...

Not only did his rim protection prove ineffective against Zhou Ze, it actually made Zhou Ze's low-post offense even easier. Scoring points... was just so easy.

There was no helping it...

Robin Lopez was simply too slow. To Zhou Ze, he was practically a stationary post. Compared to Channing Frye, Robin Lopez was even worse defensively, and he could not space the floor either.

That also made Robin Lopez, sitting on the bench, realize that he would have no chance to play in the rest of the series against the Lakers. But he did not blame Zhou Ze. On the contrary, it only strengthened his resolve to work hard on his three-pointer during the offseason.

In the fourth quarter, nearly all of the Lakers' starters were subbed out, with Jermaine O'Neal the sole exception.

Well...

At that point, Jermaine O'Neal was just 2 points and 2 rebounds away from a 20+10 game.

As a severe "OCD sufferer," Zhou Ze was not only obsessive about his own stats—he had even passed it on to his teammates.

With 4 minutes and 19 seconds
