Two Hundred and Forty-Five: The Defender and the Behemoth

Mitchell Thompson sat on the commentary stand, watching the field he once fought for.

As the No. 1 overall pick in the 1978 NBA draft, Thompson won two championship trophies with the Lakers in 1987 and 1988. For his career, the Los Angeles Lakers are his most glorious period.

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

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

Today's game between the Lakers and the Grizzlies, Mitchell is still looking forward to it, and the level of expectation is second only to the Warriors VS Jazz.

Link has been at the 2 since Rudy Gay returned this season. So today, the guy who had a 40-point triple-double just a week ago will be pitted against Kobe Bryant, who has never had a 40-point triple-double in his career. There is no doubt that this has become the biggest attraction of this game!

Since when did Kobe and an undrafted match become the biggest attraction? Mitchell admires Link's magic. He wished his son, who played for the Golden State Warriors, would also be a blockbuster.

"Kobe won't be happy. When Link scored 40 points and a triple-double, the media always used Kobe as an example, saying that no player as great as Kobe has ever done such a thing. So, I believe Kobe must be very frustrated. Right." Beside Mitchell, his partner today, Kevin Harlan, began to warm up for the game.

"Yeah, in terms of Kobe's character, he will definitely not be happy. The Lakers are now only 5 wins and 4 losses due to their two-game losing streak at the beginning, which does not meet Kobe's requirements and positioning for himself. After winning the Warriors, the Lakers are very eager to have a winning streak at home!" Speaking of the last game, Mitchell Thompson was extremely proud.

He was proud not because the Lakers won, but because his son scored 14 points on Kobe!

Let's see how many points Link can score on Kobe Bryant today.

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

He put his hands on his knees, his eyes fixed on Link. As if the game has not even started, it is ready to attack.

The referee blew the whistle, and Kobe immediately ran to the front court! Link was taken aback. It hasn't even scrambled for the ball yet, Kobe is about to attack! ?

However, in the next second, Bynum easily placed the ball in Kobe's hands. Kobe knew that the ball would belong to the Lakers!

Bynum himself is not short, with a height of 2.13 meters and slender arms, he is not at a disadvantage compared to Pau Gasol. And in terms of athleticism and explosiveness, he is much better than Pau Gasol.

Therefore, in the scrimmage stage, "Little Shark" easily got the basketball.

Kobe Bryant received a basketball homeopathic breakthrough! Kobe suffered a serious knee injury in the playoffs last season. But after an offseason of maintenance, it has recovered a lot.

Although you can no longer ask this guy to get to the basket quickly and then perform a good show of dunks, at the very least, Kobe will no longer rely on jump shots as he did in the playoffs last season.

Kobe attacked so fiercely in the first round, and Link was indeed stunned by the momentum of No. 24. The "Black Mamba" never hides his desires and never shows mercy.

In the middle of the sudden, Kobe made a sudden stop, and he pulled up and shot within two steps of the three-point line!

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

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

"Brush!" Kobe shot softly, and under the condition of being interfered, the basketball hollowed into the net!

"Get you done!" Kobe yelled, then rolled back to defense. I don't know if he was talking to Link,

Still talking to himself.

"Unreasonable goals, but that's Kobe Bryant's style. Last season, the Grizzlies basically used a Tony Allen + Link lineup to contain Kobe. But this season, Link has to be alone. Facing the devastation from Kobe." Mitchell shook his head, Link should be out of luck today.

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

It's normal to be advanced, and whether you can bite the game or not is the key.

Although Kobe's physical fitness is not as good as before, his defense is still old. His anticipation and his aggressiveness on the defensive end made Link's every off-the-ball movement a struggle.

After thinking about it, Conley gave 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.

"Guard, guard!" Kobe yelled at Gasol while defending Link.

Gasol didn't dare to slack off. The Spaniard and Randolph fought to the death, but found that it seemed to be a lot easier than last season.

Can it be easy? Randolph's uncomfortable knee made him unable to exert force comfortably at all.

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

The moment Randolph rolled over and jumped, Link planned to rush in to get the offensive rebound. But Kobe turned back and got stuck!

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

A No. 2 who can get 7 rebounds per game, can Kobe not care?

In such a situation, Bynum grabbed the rebound. It can be seen that Bynum is really excited this season. He grabbed the board with one hand, got the rebound and quickly got it into his arms. Both hands slammed, and the basketball made a loud "bang".

It was so hard to grab a rebound, which made Gasol swallow silently on the side, and questioned in his heart, "What did this guy Bynum eat to grow up!?"

"The Grizzlies failed to attack, the Lakers fought back!" Mitchell cheered, emotionally speaking, he must be more supportive of the Lakers.

"No, Zach is in a bad state today." Elston Turner reminded Hollins on the Grizzlies bench.

Hollins nodded silently, the most worrying thing still happened! Sure enough, competitive sports, can not report any luck!

The Lakers fought back, and the ball was still handed to Kobe. Link's nerves were tense the whole time, and he felt that defending against Kobe was more annoying than defending against Durant.

Although Durant's scoring ability is super strong, he does not have the ruthlessness of "you die or I die". No matter how angry Durant was, Link felt like they were just playing. But Kobe, he feels like he's playing with you.

After Kobe made a few tentative steps outside the three-point line this time, he made a direct three-point shot!

Off the court, new Lakers coach Mike Brown pouted. Although he was the head coach, he found that his control over the Lakers was really weak. For example, in this attack, Kobe did not follow the tactics at all.

As always, Link was sealed up for the first time, and as soon as he landed, he heard the sound of iron hammering, and the defense was done!

Link turned his head happily, but what he saw was not that the Grizzlies got the ball, but that Bynum abruptly suppressed Gasol and violently smashed the popped basketball back into the frame in the air!

"Boom!" There was a loud noise from the basketball hoop, Bynum made a dunk, and Pau Gasol was knocked out of the bottom line.

When Bynum landed, the basketball hoop was still rocking up and down and making a "creaky" sound.

"Make up for the deduction! My God, Andrew Bynum's destructive power this season is too strong! He doesn't give face to his teammates' brothers at all. This deduction is magnificent!"

Kobe opened his hand to Link and continued to retreat. After that, Bynum, the giant beast, also ran past Link. Just like this, Link can feel the huge pressure.

A super guard and a wild beast... This sounds like the Lakers from ten years ago?

4-0, the Lakers continued to lead. This weekend was completely unpleasant for Link.
