Chapter 251 (1/2)
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.
