Fan a: "The Rockets' bench lineup is completely at a disadvantage. In both games, Li Kang was blown away. Even if the combination of Yao and Mai can hold on to the score, they will lose points as soon as the rotation stage comes. It feels like they have entered an endless loop."

Fan b: "The Rockets' striker, the combination of Tracy McGrady and Battier may have an advantage against other teams, but when confronted with the offense and defense of Kobe and Li Kang, Tracy McGrady's defensive weakness, Battier's offensive ability with the ball is poor, It's completely exposed, let the Lakers hit one."

Fan c: "The Rockets don't have a stable third scoring point other than Yao Mai, so they are doomed to not go far in the next game!"

The Big Three of the Lakers attended the press conference together after the game

ESPN reporter: "Lee, congratulations to the Lakers for winning the second game of the series. You fell behind in the game. How did the team adjust to reverse the situation?"

Li Kang: "The first half of the game was very difficult. The combination of Yao and Mai, one inside and one outside, was very difficult to defend. We usually chase points in the rotation stage. When they rest off the court, we try to close the score as much as possible.

The situation changed suddenly in the second half. The coach asked us to consume McGrady as much as possible on both ends of the offense and defense, making his offense and defense uncomfortable, so that we can completely control the game. "

ESPN reporter: "The next game will be moved to Houston. What are your expectations?"

Li Kang: "We must at least win an away game, otherwise the situation will become very bad."

ESPN reporter: "Lee, I heard that you have signed an agent. Are you preparing to leave Los Angeles during the offseason?"

Kobe: "No comment, my brother will always stay in Los Angeles, we are leaving, we will talk next time!"

Kobe once again helped Li Kang fend off the reporter's troubles. Li Kang was very grateful, and he was a little embarrassed to decline Pelinka, but Kobe never took this matter to heart.
