Mitchell. Thompson sat on the commentary podium, focusing on the stadium he had fought for.

As the top pick in the 1978 NBA Draft, Thompson won two championships with the Lakers in 1987 and 1988. The Los Angeles Lakers have been one of his best moments in his career.

So after retiring, Mitchell became a guest commentator for the Lakers, which allowed him to continue working in Los Angeles. But let's be honest, Mitchell would rather go to Auckland to commentate on the game now.

Because of his son Clay. Thompson, who played for the Golden State Warriors.

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

This season has been the first time since Rudy. Since Guy's return, Link has been active in the second position. So today, this guy who just scored a 40-point triple-double just a week ago will be opposite Kobe Bryant, who has never had a 40-point triple-double in his career. Without a doubt, this became the biggest attraction of the game!

Since when will Kobe Bryant and an undrafted opponent become the biggest attraction? Link's magic, Mitchell admires very much. He really hopes that his son, who plays for the Golden State Warriors, can also be a blockbuster.

"Kobe Bryant won't be happy, when Link scored a 40-point triple-double, the media kept using Kobe as an example, saying that no player like Kobe Bryant had ever done this kind of thing. So, I'm sure Kobe Bryant must be very aggrieved. Next to Mitchell, his partner today, Kevin. Harlan is starting to warm up for the game.

"yes, with Kobe's character, he wouldn't be happy. The Lakers now have a record of only 5 wins and 4 losses due to two consecutive losses in the opening game, which does not meet Kobe's requirements and positioning for himself. After winning the last game against the Warriors, the Lakers are desperate to make a winning streak at home! "Speaking of the last game, Mitchell. Thompson couldn't be prouder.

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

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

Both sides step onto the pitch and get ready to jump the ball. Kobe's expression was exactly the same as before the game began, serious, unsmiling, and vicious...... You can put all the words like that on Kobe.

He put his hands on his knees, his eyes fixed on Link. It was as if the game had not even started, and it was ready to attack.

The referee blew the whistle, and Kobe Bryant immediately ran to the frontcourt! Link was taken aback, this is not even a scrum for the ball, Kobe Bryant is about to attack!?

However, in the next second, Bynum easily pointed the ball into Kobe's hands, and Kobe Bryant already knew that this ball would belong to the Lakers!

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

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

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

While you can't ask this guy to get to the basket and dunk at the bottom of the basket and dunk at the very least, at the very least, Kobe Bryant won't be like he did in last season's playoffs, where he basically relied on jump shots to score points.

In the first round, Kobe Bryant attacked so fiercely that Link was indeed suppressed by the momentum of this No. 24. "Black Mamba" never hides his desires and never shows mercy.

Suddenly, Kobe Bryant suddenly stopped and shot two steps from the three-point line!

Link reacted quickly and immediately blocked it. To Tony. Allen's evaluation, Link's defense can be said to be leaky!

However, against Kobe. For people like Bryant, this level of interference is still not enough!

"Brush!" Kobe Bryant shot softly, and in the case of interference, the basketball hollowed into the net!

"Got you!" Bryant yelled, then rolled back to defense. I don't know if he's talking to Link, or if he's talking to himself.

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

Link is not discouraged, in a basketball game, it is impossible to let the opponent not score a single ball. Unless, this person is Westbrook.

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

Although Kobe Bryant's physical fitness is not as good as before, his defense is still old. His anticipation, as well as his aggressiveness on the defensive end, makes every run Link make it difficult to run off the ball.

Conley thought about it and handed the ball to Randolph. Gasol immediately tensed, one arm held high in the air, and the other held Randolph's waist to prevent him from exerting force.

"Stop, stop!" Bryant yelled at Gasol while defending Link.

Gasol didn't dare to slack off, and the Spaniards and Randolph stumbled, but found that it seemed to be much easier than last season.

Isn't it easy? Randolph's uncomfortable knee made it impossible for him to exert his strength comfortably.

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

Link was going to rush in the moment Randolph rolled over and jumped to get the rebound. But Kobe Bryant reflexively took a first gear and stuck the position!

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

A No. 2 position who can average 7 rebounds per game, can Kobe Bryant not care?

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

Grabbing a rebound so hard, this made little Gasol on the side swallow silently, and asked in his heart, "What did Bynum grow up eating!?" ”

"The Grizzlies failed on offense, and the Lakers fought back!" Mitchell cheered, emotionally speaking, he was definitely more supportive of the Lakers.

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

Hollins nodded silently, the worst feared thing still happened! Sure enough, competitive sports can't be reported for any luck!

The Lakers fought back, and the ball was still given to Kobe. Link was nervous throughout the whole process, and he felt that the defense against Kobe was more grinding than the defense against Durant.

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

Kobe Bryant made a few tentative steps outside the three-point line this time, and then shot directly from the three-point line!

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

Link sealed it as soon as possible, and as soon as he landed, he heard the sound of striking iron, and it was prevented!

Link turned his head happily, but instead of the Grizzlies getting the ball, Bynum pressed Gasol Jr. and violently smashed the bounced basketball back into the frame in the air!

"Boom!" There was a loud bang from the basketball hoop, Bynum made a dunk, and Gasol Jr. was knocked off the baseline.

When Bynum hit the ground, the basketball hoop was still shaking up and down and making a "creaking" sound.

"Supplement the deduction between people! Oh my God, Andrew. Bynum has been too destructive this season! He didn't give face to his teammates' brothers at all, and this mending dunk was magnificent! ”

Bryant spread his hand at Link, then continued to retreat. After that, the giant beast Bynum also ran past Link. Just like that, Link could feel the tremendous oppressive force.

A super defender and a wild behemoth...... Does this sound so much like the Lakers from ten years ago?

4-0, the Lakers continued to lead. It's been a haven't been a pleasant weekend for Link.
