Mitchell Thompson sat on the podium, watching the field he had fought for.
As the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft in 1978, Thompson won the championship twice in the Lakers in 1987 and 1988. For his career, the Los Angeles Lakers have been his most glorious period.
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 would rather go to Oakland to explain the game.
Because his son, clay Thompson, played for Golden State Warriors.
Today''s game between the Lakers and the Grizzlies, Mitchell is still very looking forward to, after the warriors vs jazz.
Link has been in position two this season since Rudy Gay returned. So today, the guy who scored 40 points and triple doubles just a week ago will face Kobe, who has never had 40 points and triple doubles in his career. No doubt, this has become the biggest point of the game!
Since when, Kobe and a drop off draft match, can become the biggest point? Mitchell admired the magic of link. He really hoped that his son, who worked for the Golden State Warriors, would make a big splash.
"Kobe won''t be happy. When link scored 40 points and triple doubles, the media always take him as an example, saying that players as big as Kobe have never done such things. So, I''m sure Kobe must be very subdued Next to Mitchell, his partner today, Kevin Haran, is warming up for the game.
"Yeah, in terms of Kobe''s character, he won''t be happy. The Lakers are only 5-4 because of two consecutive losses in the beginning, which is not in line with Kobe''s requirements and positioning. After winning the warriors in the last game, the Lakers are eager to win in a row at home When it comes to the last game, Mitchell Thompson is very proud.
He''s 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''s head today.
Both sides step into the court, ready to jump. Kobe as like as two peas in the competition serious, serious in speech and manner, and so on, you can put all the similar words on Kobe.
His hands were on his knees and his eyes were fixed on link. It''s as if the attack is ready before the game starts.
When the referee whistled, Kobe immediately ran forward! Link is scared. It''s not even fighting for the ball. Kobe is going to attack!?
However, the next second, Bynum easily points the ball to Kobe''s hand, Kobe knew this ball will belong to the Lakers!
Bynum himself is not short, 2.13 meters tall and slender arm, let him and little Gasol compare not to suffer a loss. And in terms of athletic ability and explosive power, he is much better than Pau Gasol.
Therefore, in the competition stage, "little shark" easily got the basketball.
Kobe gets the basketball break! Last season''s playoffs, Kobe had a serious knee injury. But after an off-season maintenance, it has recovered a lot.
You can''t ask this guy to get to the basket and dunk every other, but at least, Kobe won''t be able to score on jump shots like he did in the playoffs last season.
In the first round, Kobe was so fierce that link was really overwhelmed by the momentum of the No. 24. "Black mamba" never conceals his desire, and never shows mercy.
Sudden to half, Kobe suddenly stop, in the three-point line within two steps of the distance pull up on the shot!
Link''s reaction was quick and immediately blocked. If you want Tony Allen to evaluate, link''s defense this time can be said to be watertight!
However, for people like Kobe Bryant, this level of interference is not enough!
"Brush!" Kobe soft shot, in the case of interference, basketball hollow into the net!
"You''re done!" Kobe yelled and turned back. I don''t know if he''s talking to link or to himself.
"An unreasonable goal, but that''s the style of Kobe Bryant. Last season, the Grizzlies basically used Tony Allen and link''s lineup to contain Kobe. But this season, link has to face the devastation from Kobe alone Mitchell shook his head. Link should have had a bad day.
Link is not discouraged. In a basketball game, it is impossible to let the other side not score a goal. Unless, this man is Westbrook.
It''s normal to be advanced. It''s the key to bite the game.
Although Kobe''s physical fitness is not as good as before, but the defense is still hot. His anticipation and his enthusiasm on the defensive end make every run without the ball very difficult for link.
After Conley thought about it, he gave the ball to Randolph. Gasol immediately became nervous. He held one arm high and the other held Randolph''s waist to keep him from exerting force.
"Stop, stop!" Kobe is defending link and yelling at Gasol.
Gasol is afraid to slack off, the Spaniard and Randolph, but found that it seems to be a lot easier than last season.Can''t it be easy? Randolph''s discomfortable knee made him unable to work comfortably.
The big black bear finally chose to turn over the jump shot, but this time Randolph didn''t jump at all. The basketball was almost covered and didn''t make it.
Link in Randolph''s turn over the moment, intend to rush in, to fight for front rebounds. But Kobe is in reverse, stuck in position!
"Damn it!" This is the first time that link is stuck in the outside line by the guard. It seems that Kobe''s consciousness of protecting rebounds is really different from others.
A field can take 7 rebounds of the second position, Kobe can not care?
In this situation, Bynum grabbed the rebound. It can be seen that Bynum is really on fire this season. He grabs the board with one hand, grabs the rebounds, and quickly takes it into his arms. With a sudden clap of both hands, the basketball made a big bang.
Grabs the backboard all so hard, this lets the side small Gasol swallow saliva silently, and in the heart questions, "Bynum this guy eats what grows up?"
"The Grizzlies failed to attack, and the Lakers fought back!" Mitchell cheered, and emotionally, he must have been more supportive of the Lakers.
"No way, Zach is not in good shape today." On the Grizzlies'' bench, Elston Turner reminded Hollins.
Hollins nodded silently. The most worried thing happened! Sure enough, competitive sports, can not report any fluke psychology!
The Lakers fought back, and the ball was still given to Kobe. Link''s nerves were tight all the time, and he felt that defending against Corby was more than Durant''s.
Although Durant''s scoring ability is super strong, but he does not have this "either you die or I die" ruthless strength. No matter Durant was angry, link felt that they were just playing. But Kobe, he feels like he''s playing with you.
This time, Kobe made a few feeler steps outside the three-point line, and then made a direct three-point shot!
Off the court, the new Laker coach, Mike Brown, turned his lips. Although he was the head coach, he found his control over the Lakers was really weak. For example, in this attack, Kobe did not follow the tactics at all.
Link, as always, was sealed up for the first time. As soon as he landed, he heard the sound of the iron, and the defense was completed!
Lin Kexin turned his head happily, but what he saw was not the Grizzlies getting the ball right, but Bynum pressed down Gasol and smashed the basketball back into the frame violently in the air!
"Boom There was a big bang from the basketball rack, Bynum made a good patch, and Pau Gasol was knocked out of the baseline.
When Bynum landed, the basketball rack was still shaking up and down, and made a "creak creak" sound.
"Make up every other person! My God, Andrew Bynum has been so destructive this season! He doesn''t give his teammates face at all. This mending is magnificent
Kobe opened his hand to link and went back. After that, Bynum ran past link. Just like this, link can feel the tremendous pressure.
A super guard and a wild beast... That sounds like the Laker a decade ago?
4-0, the Lakers continue to lead. It''s not a happy weekend for link.
