Both sides returned to the locker room. The Lakers players greeted Li Kang and high-fived each other. Obviously, they won everyone's trust through their outstanding performance in the second quarter. Zen Master took a look at Li Kang and made a decision in his heart. The direction of 3D players is developing. With Ariza's injury, the Lakers' front line defense has been severely tested. Although Kobe has both offense and defense, he spends too much energy on the defensive end. It is not a good choice for Kobe and the team. If Li Kang Going to mark the opponent's perimeter core can maximize Kobe's offensive ability.

After a while Zen Master found Kobe and communicated with Kobe about this idea. The two coincided with each other, so the coaching staff told everyone about this decision. Kobe told Li Kang that he showed his offensive talent in the first half, and he will show his defense in the second half. Ability, we need his defense, defending James as an undrafted pick is not an easy task, but everyone said, don't put too much pressure, and accumulate experience bit by bit by defending James, this is a rare opportunity.
