Mitchell Thompson sat on the commentary stage, paying attention to the stadium he once fought for.

As the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft in 1978, Thompson won the championship trophy twice in 1987 and 1988. For his career, the Los Angeles Lakers were his most brilliant time.

So after retiring, Mitchell became a special commentator for the Lakers, which allowed him to continue working in Los Angeles. But to be honest, Mitchell is more willing to go to Oakland to comment on the game.

Because his son Klay Thompson played for the Golden State Warriors.

Mitchell is still looking forward to the game between the Lakers and the Grizzlies today, second only to the Warriors vs. Jazz.

This season, since Rudy Guy returned, Link has been active in the second position. So today, the guy who just scored a 40-point triple-double a week ago will play against Kobe, who has never had a 40-point triple-double in his career. There is no doubt that this has become the biggest highlight of this game!

From when did Kobe play against a undraft match become the biggest highlight? Mitchell admires Link's magic very much. He really hopes that his son who plays for the Golden State Warriors can also make a big splash.

"Bryant will not be happy. When Link scored a 40-point triple-double, the media always used Kobe as an example, saying that no great player like Kobe has ever done this. So, I believe Kobe must be very frustrated." Next to Mitchell, his partner Kevin Harlan, began to warm up the game.

"Yes, with Kobe's personality, he will definitely not be happy. Due to the two consecutive losses at the beginning, the Lakers are now only 5 wins and 4 losses, which does not meet Kobe's requirements and positioning for himself. After defeating the Warriors in the last game, the Lakers are very eager to win a row at home!" When talking about the last game, Mitchell Thompson was extremely proud.

He is proud not because the Lakers won the ball, but because his son scored 14 points on Kobe's head!

Let’s see how many points Link can get on Kobe’s head today.

Both sides stepped into the court and prepared to jump the ball. Kobe's expression was exactly the same as before the game started, serious, serious, and vicious. You can put all similar words on Kobe.

He supported his knees with his hands and stared at Link tightly. It seemed that the game was ready to launch an attack before the game began.

The referee whistle sounded, and Kobe immediately ran to the frontcourt! Link was shocked. Before he could compete for the ball, Kobe was about to attack!?

However, the next second, Bynum easily pointed the ball into Kobe's hands. Kobe had known that this ball would belong to the Lakers!

Bynum himself is not short, and his height of 2.13 meters and slender arms make him not at a disadvantage compared to Gasol Jr. Moreover, in terms of athletic ability and explosive power, he is much better than Gasol Jr.

Therefore, during the game, the "Little Shark" easily got the basketball.

Kobe received a basketball breakthrough! Last season's playoffs, Kobe suffered severe knee damage. However, after an offseason maintenance, he has recovered a lot.

Although you can no longer ask this guy to hit the basket quickly and then stage a dunk across the wall, at least, Kobe will no longer score only by jump shots like he did last season's playoffs.

Kobe attacked so hard in the first round, and Link was indeed shocked by the momentum of No. 24. "Black Mamba" never conceals his desires and never shows mercy.

Halfway through, Kobe suddenly stopped and shot from two steps within the three-point line!

Link's reaction was quick and immediately blocked it. If he asked Tony Allen to evaluate it, Link's defense this time can be said to be vague!

However, for people like Kobe Bryant, this level of interference is still not enough!

"Brush!" Kobe made a soft move, and when he was disturbed, the basketball was hollowed into the net!

"You're done!" Kobe shouted, then turned over and returned to defense. I don't know if he was talking to Link or talking to himself.

"Unreasonable goals, but this is Kobe Bryant's style. Last season, the Grizzlies basically used Tony Allen + Link's lineup to curb Kobe. But this season, Link must face the destruction from Kobe alone." Mitchell shook his head. Link should be in trouble today.

Link was not discouraged. In basketball games, it was impossible for the opponent to not score a single goal unless this person was Westbrook.

It is normal to be advanced, and whether the game can be bitten by the key is the key.

Although Kobe's physical fitness is not as good as before, his defense is still sophisticated. His predictions and his enthusiasm on the defensive end make Link very difficult every time he runs without the ball.

After Conley thought about it, he still handed the ball to Randolph. Gasol immediately became nervous. He raised one arm high and the other supported Randolph's waist, preventing him from exerting force.

"Defend, defend!" Kobe shouted at Gasol while defending Link.

Gasol dared not slacken anymore. Espanyol and Randolph fought to the death, but found that it seemed much easier than last season.

Can it not be easy? Randolph's uncomfortable knees made him unable to exert force comfortably.

The big black bear finally chose to turn over and jump shot, but this time Randolph didn't jump at all, and the basketball was almost blocked, and he didn't make it in the end.

The moment Randolph turned over and jumped up, Link was planning to rush in to win the frontcourt rebound. But Kobe turned around and got stuck in the position!

"Damn it!" This is the first time Link has been stuck on the outside by a defender. It seems that Kobe's awareness of protecting rebounds is really different from others.

Can Kobe not worry about a second position who can average 7 rebounds per game?

Under such circumstances, Bynum grabbed the rebound. It can be seen that Bynum was indeed very excited this season. He grabbed the board with one hand and quickly got the rebound. He slapped his hands and made a loud "bang" sound from the basketball.

He tried so hard to grab a rebound, which made the little Gasol swallow silently and asked in his heart, "What did this guy Bynum grow up with??"

"The Grizzlies' offense failed, the Lakers counterattack!" Mitchell cheered. Emotionally, he must support the Lakers more.

"No, Zach is in a bad shape today." Elston Turner reminded Hollins in his ear on the Grizzlies' bench.

Hollins nodded silently, and the thing he was most worried about was still happening! Sure enough, competitive sports cannot get any luck!

The Lakers counterattacked, and the ball was still handed over to Kobe. Link was nervous throughout the whole process, and he felt that defending Kobe was even more harsh than defending Durant.

Although Durant has a strong scoring ability, he does not have the ruthlessness of "either you die or I die". No matter how angry Durant is, Link feels that they are just playing. But Kobe, he gives people the feeling that he is playing with you.

Kobe made a few test steps outside the three-point line this time and then made a three-pointer!

The new Lakers coach Mike Brown off the court all curled his lips. Although he was the head coach, he found that he had really weak control over the Lakers. For example, this time this offense, Kobe did not follow the tactics at all.

Link sealed it as usual as before. As soon as he landed, he heard the sound of a blacksmith and was ready to go!

Link turned his head happily, but what he saw was not the Grizzlies getting the ball, but Bynum pressed Gasol Jr. and violently smashed the pop-up basketball back into the box in the air!

"Boom!" The basketball stand made a loud noise, Bynum made a comeback, and Gasol was knocked out of the bottom line.

When Bynum landed, the basketball rack was still shaking up and down, making a "crying" sound.

"Other person makes a rebate! Oh my God, Andrew Bynum has a very strong destructive power this season! He doesn't give his teammates any face at all, this rebate is majestic!"

Kobe spread his hands at Link and continued to retreat. After that, Bynum, the giant beast, also ran past Link. Just like this, Link could feel the huge pressure.

How come a super defender and a wild beast sound so much like the Lakers from ten years ago?
