Lakers starters: Fisher (pg), Kobe (sg), Walton (sf), Gasol (pf), Mbenga (c).

……

Li Kang was watching the game from the bench in casual clothes, and he didn't know what he was talking about. Farmar next to him was amused by him and laughed!

……

Mbenga and O'Neal jumped the ball in the middle circle. The Suns got the ball first. Nash dribbled the ball smoothly for half court. Stoudemire came up to pick and roll at the top of the arc. After losing the defense, Mbenga protected the basket, Nash made a wonderful pass to O'Neal, O'Neal dunked successfully at the basket, 2:0, the Suns scored the first goal.
