After the game, Li Kang, Kobe Bryant and Gasol attended the Lakers press conference and accepted media interviews!

Originally ESPN reporters wanted to interview Kobe, but Kobe and ESPN had a bad relationship, so Kobe pushed Li Kang to ESPN reporters, but he himself chose to accept the interview from Huaxia reporters, and Li Kang accepted the ESPN reporter's interview helplessly. .

ESPN reporter: "Li, congratulations on your first victory in the playoffs, and tell us how you feel now!"

Li Kang: "It feels good now. We defended the first home game. The opponent is very strong. The next game will be more difficult, and they will fight back strongly!"

ESPN reporter: "Playing the playoffs for the first time, you don't seem to be nervous at all. How did you get into the state?"

Li Kang: "To be honest, I lost the Rookie of the Year Award, which stimulated me. I respect every voter and believe in the league's choice, which gives me the motivation to move forward. Now let's look at my performance in the playoffs, which is ranked second. It's not bad!"

ESPN reporter: "I heard that the head coach of the Nuggets did not vote for you during the voting process for the best rookie player, but gave it to Durant. What do you think about it?"

Li Kang: "It's the first time I heard about this. Maybe he thought Durant was better than me. After all, Durant was the No. [-] pick, and I was just undrafted. I'll let him see me again in the next game." strength!"

......

TNT reporter: "Hey, Gasol, how does it feel to win the playoffs for the first time?"

Gasol: "Everyone knows that I played in the Grizzlies twice in the playoffs, but my performance was very struggling and unsatisfactory. Today, Kobe and Li Kang have led us forward. This feeling of victory is only for me. Only oneself can understand, others cannot understand.”

tnt reporter: "Li Kang also played in the playoffs for the first time, but he didn't look like a rookie at all. He played very calmly. Can you tell us about his situation?"

Gasol: "Li Kang's performance is always unbelievable. He is dominant on both ends of the offense and defense, and he can play from the 1st to the 5th position. Nothing can stump him. If I am a triangle Offensive axis, then he is our defensive core, the offensive choice is second only to Kobe, is our second offensive core, not being selected as the best rookie player is definitely a voter's mistake!"

......

China Reporter: "Kobe, first of all congratulations for winning the first game of the series. What do you think of Li Kang's performance?"

Kobe: "Li Kang, my little brother, his performance is always unexpected, he doesn't play like a rookie at all, far better than my rookie season, he doesn't throw as many air balls like me , his future will definitely be above mine!"

Huaxia Reporter: "What do you think of Li Kang's loss of the Best Rookie Player Award?"

Kobe: "I'm so angry, it's very unfair to Li Kang. Which player can win the best of the week and best of the month in his rookie season, only Li Kang. The judges are simply shit, and they don't understand football at all!"

Huaxia Reporter: "Thank you for supporting our Huaxia players. I hope you and Li Kang will lead the Lakers to good results in the playoffs!"

Kobe: "Of course, I will take Li Kang to win the championship!"

......

Afterwards, the three left the scene of the press conference together.

Li Kang: "Boss, I'm not as good as you say! It turns out that George Karl voted against me in the best rookie player voting!"

Kobe: "It's this old guy again. He didn't let me play against Jordan at the beginning, and now he is against you for being the best rookie. New and old grudges, we will count them together in the next game!"

Gasol: "Boss, Lee, don't worry, I'll pass the ball to you in the next game, hit back this old guy!"

Kobe: "We have to devote 100% to the game. Don't be careless. Iverson and Anthony are not easy to save fuel. I believe they will fight back strongly in the next game!"

Li Kang and Gasol nodded

west:

掘金（0）：湖人（1）；火箭（0）：爵士（2）；小牛（0）：黄蜂（1）；太阳（0）：马刺（1）。

The Rockets and Wizards are currently the two teams behind 0:2

In the Rockets' two games against the Jazz, the combination of Yao and Mai played steadily, but their teammates were limited. On the other hand, the Rockets were completely unable to defend against the Jazz's pick-and-roll tactics. Carlos Boozer and Mehmet Okur, especially Okur, Every time after blocking and pulling to the outside to shoot a three-pointer, it takes time to beat Yao Ming's defense. Okur's three-pointer is not bad, with a shooting percentage of 38.8%, which is a stable and high fort.

Li Kang glanced at the screen. Could it be that the Yao-Mai combination cannot escape the fate of losing to the Jazz in the first round again?

no, li kang called yao ming

Li Kang: "Brother Yao, are you asleep? After watching today's game, I want to chat with you."

Yao Ming: "Xiaokang, I haven't slept yet, and I just want to talk to someone!"

Li Kang: "I watched your game and felt that there was a problem with the defensive matchup. I suggest you defend Boozer, let Hayes defend Okur, McGrady chase Deron, change every screen, and don't let Okur. Shoot three-pointers. Furthermore, you can try one big and four small lineups. Battier moves to the fourth position to partner with you on the inside, so that your lineup includes: Brooks, Jackson, Tracy McGrady, Battier, Yao Ge; All four of them have stable three-pointers, one of you singles inside, and the four open up the space. No one can guard you against the Jazz one-on-one.

Yao Ming: "Xiaokang, the suggestion you gave me is very specific, we will seriously consider it, thank you!"

Li Kang: "Brother Yao, don't be too polite, we are all for the rise of Chinese basketball!"
