After the game, the Big Three of the Lakers attended the team press conference together and accepted interviews from various media.

ESPN reporter: "Lee, congratulations to the Lakers for defeating the Rockets and advancing to the Western Conference Finals. What targeted adjustments did you make during the game?"

Li Kang: "The Rockets' internal and external connection is a huge challenge for us, especially Yao Ming. Until now, we have no way to deal with him. We can only double-team him, force him to pass the ball, and let his teammates attack."

ESPN reporter: "Then how did you solve McGrady's problem?"

Li Kang: "On the offensive end, Kobe and I pick and roll, constantly attacking McGrady, consuming his physical strength, and on the defensive end, let me personally lead the defense, constantly confronting with the body, reducing his offensive threat.

Both offensive and defensive ends let McGrady take care of one thing and lose another. "

ESPN reporter: "Li, how does it feel to enter the Western Conference finals for the first time?"

Li Kang: "Well, all of this is unbelievable, but we will not stop because of this. Winning the championship is our only goal!"
