Reverse Growth Superstar

: 245: Defender and Behemoth

Mitchell Thompson sat on the commentary stage, watching the stadium he had fought for.

As the No. 1 pick in the 1978 NBA Draft, Thompson won the championship trophy twice 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 special commentator for the Lakers, which allowed him to continue working in Los Angeles. But to be honest, now Mitchell prefers to go to Oakland to explain the game.

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

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

This season since Rudy Gay returned, Link has been active in the second position. So today, the guy who had just scored a 40-point triple-double just 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 attraction of this game!

Since when did Kobe match up with a draft pick, has it become the biggest attraction? Mitchell admired Link's magic. He really hopes that his son, who plays for the Golden State Warriors, can also be a blockbuster.

"Kobe will not be happy. When Link scored a 40-point triple-double, the media always used Kobe as an example, saying that such a great player as Kobe has never done this. Therefore, I believe Kobe must be very aggrieved. Right." Next to Mitchell, today's partner Kevin Harlan began to warm up for the game.

"Yes, based on Kobe's character, he will definitely not be happy. The Lakers have only 5 wins and 4 losses due to two consecutive losses in the opening game, which does not meet Kobe's requirements and positioning. The last game After winning the Warriors, the Lakers are very eager to get a winning streak at home!" Speaking of 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!

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

Both sides stepped into the court, preparing to jump the ball. Kobe's expression is 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 and fixed his eyes on Link. It seemed that the game hadn't started yet, and it was ready to attack.

The referee blew his whistle and Kobe ran to the front court immediately! Link was taken aback. There is no ball game yet, Kobe is about to attack! ?

However, in the next second, Bynum easily dropped the ball into 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 Gasol. And in terms of athletic ability and explosive power, he is much better than Gasol.

Therefore, during the faceoff phase, "Little Shark" easily got the basketball.

Kobe received a basketball breakthrough! In the playoffs last season, Kobe suffered a serious knee injury. But after an offseason maintenance, a lot has been restored.

Although you can no longer ask this guy to get to the basket quickly and stage a dunk, but at least, Kobe will no longer rely on jump shots like last season's playoffs.

Kobe attacked so fiercely in the first round, and Link was indeed stunned by the momentum of the 24th. "Black Mamba" never conceals his desires, and never shows mercy.

In the middle of the sudden, Kobe suddenly stopped and shot within two steps of the three-point line!

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

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

"Swipe!" Kobe shot softly, and when he was disturbed, the basketball went hollow into the net!

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

"Unreasonable goals, but this is the style of Kobe Bryant. Last season, the Grizzlies basically used Tony Allen + Link to contain Kobe. But this season, Link must have to be alone. Facing the devastation from Kobe." Mitchell shook his head, Link should be unlucky today.

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

It's normal to be advanced. Whether you can bite the game is the key.

Although Kobe's physical fitness is not as good as before, but the defense is still old. His anticipation and his enthusiasm on the defensive end made Link's every move without the ball seem very strenuous.

After thinking about it, Conley gave the ball to Randolph. Gasol immediately became tense. He raised one arm high, and the other held Randolph's waist to prevent him from exerting any strength.

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

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

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

The Big Black Bear finally chose to turn over and shoot a jumper, but this time Randolph didn't jump up at all, the basketball was almost covered, and he didn't make it.

Link planned to rush in at the moment Randolph turned and jumped up to get offensive rebounds. But Kobe turned a gear and got stuck!

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

Can Kobe not care about a second position with 7 rebounds per game?

In this situation, Bynum caught the rebound. It can be seen that Bynum this season is indeed very excited. He grabbed the board with one hand and quickly took it into his arms after getting the rebound. With both hands slammed, the basketball made a loud "bang".

It was so hard to grab a rebound, which made the little Gasol on the side swallow silently, and asked in his heart, "How did this fellow Bynum grow up?"

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

"No, Zach is in very bad shape today." Elston Turner reminded Hollins from the Grizzlies bench.

Hollins nodded silently, the most worrying thing happened! Sure enough, competitive sports cannot report any fluke!

The Lakers counterattacked ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The ball was still handed over to Kobe. Link's nerves were tense throughout, and he felt that defending Kobe was more grueling than defending Durant.

Although Durant has superb scoring ability, he does not have this "either you die or I die" brutal force. No matter how angry Durant was, Link felt that they were just playing. But Kobe, he feels like he is playing with you.

After Kobe made a few probing steps outside the three-point line this time, he took a three-pointer!

The off-court Lakers coach Mike Brown all pouted. Although he is the head coach, he found that his control over the Lakers is really weak. For example, in this offense, Kobe did not follow tactics at all.

As always, Link sealed it up for the first time. As soon as he landed, he heard the sound of iron strikes, and the defense was complete!

Link turned his head happily, but what he saw was not the Grizzlies getting the ball, but Bynum abruptly suppressing Gasol, and violently slammed the popped basketball back into the frame!

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

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

"Second person make up the deduction! Oh my God, Andrew Bynum has been so destructive this season! He doesn't give his teammate's brother any face, this deduction is magnificent!"

Kobe spread his hand at Link, and then continued to withdraw. After that, Bynum, the behemoth also ran past Link. Just like this, Link could feel the tremendous pressure.

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

4 to 0, the Lakers continued to lead. For Link this weekend, it's totally unhappy.
