Kobe is really happy for Li Kang to sign the contract. Li Kang's attitude towards training and enthusiasm for the game are full of what he was back then.However, with the current staffing of the team, it is impossible to win the championship, but he does not want to waste his peak period in vain.

Li Kang replied: "Boss, let's work together!" Kobe and Li Kang high-fived each other and went into crazy training together.

……

In China, the news of Li Kang's re-signing with the Lakers shocked the entire basketball circle. The major media rushed to report, and people in the domestic sports circle expressed their congratulations.

Most of the domestic netizens expressed their congratulations and wished Li Kang success in the NBA, while some netizens ridiculed him.

Netizen a: "Li Kang signed with the Lakers because the team took a fancy to the Chinese market. Li Kang himself has no real strength, so he probably just sits on the Lakers' bench."

Netizen b: "The Lakers lack water dispenser administrators, so I found Li Kang to serve tea and water for the Lakers, hahaha!"

Netizen c: "I bet the number of times Li Kang swung the towel in each game must be greater than his score."

……

Everything in China seemed to have nothing to do with Li Kang. The team didn't have a game today. He and Kobe had been training in the Lakers training hall all day, sweating profusely and exhausted physically and mentally.

On January 2008, 1, the Lakers played against the New York Knicks at home. This was also the last game of the Lakers in January.

Lakers starting: Fisher (pg), Bryant (sg), Lee Kang (sf), Odom (pf), Bynum (c).

Knicks starters: Nate Robinson (pg), Jamal Crawford (sg), Richardson (sf), David Lee (pf), Zach Randolph (c) .

Bynum and Randolph jumped the ball in the middle circle, the Lakers got the ball first, Fisher controlled the ball in the frontcourt, Nate Robinson stepped forward to defend, but he was only 175cm tall, defense was inherently disadvantaged, Lao Yu was basically overwhelmed by the point guards of other teams, but he actually had a physical advantage against the Knicks point guards.The Lakers' first goal came from Fisher's post-up singles Nate Robinson. With absolute physical advantage, he sat in and made an emergency stop and made a mid-range shot. , 2:0, the Lakers took the lead and scored 1 goal.

The Knicks attacked, Nate Robinson took possession of the ball, quickly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, broke through Lao Yu with a change of direction, went straight to the basket and dunked successfully, 2:2, the Knicks returned a goal.Although Nate Robinson is short in height, he is extremely fast, breaks through dunks, and is proficient in everything from outside three-pointers. As a small player in his previous life, he won the NBA Slam Dunk Contest three times. One can imagine how good his jumping and explosive power are.

What Lao Yu is most afraid of is a point guard with fast speed and strong breakthrough ability. When encountering this type of point guard, Lao Yu is basically blown away.Occasional loss of points is acceptable in regular time. Once the critical moment comes, Kobe will immediately switch defenses.

Old Fish, who was drafted in the same draft as Kobe, can secure the Lakers' starting lineup because he has a big heart, rich experience in the playoffs, stable free throws, and can always make a fatal blow at critical moments.

In the playoffs of the 03-04 season, the Lakers led by the ok combination once again met their old enemy the Spurs in the second round. After four games, the two sides tied at 2:2.In the most critical fifth Tianwangshan game, Laoyu made a fatal blow in 0.4 seconds at the last moment, killing the Spurs.Scores at critical moments saved the Lakers again and again, and the Zen master trusted him very much.

In the next round, the Lakers sent the ball to the baseline. Jamal Crawford received the ball and was about to dribble the ball up the frontcourt. Originally, Kobe was supposed to be defending him. When it came to Li Kang, Li Kang followed Crawford closely, entangled in death.Li Kang clung to Crawford as soon as he came up, and Crawford was so confused that he just defended like this in the second offensive round, which was almost impossible for people to survive.

Crawford dribbled through the half court with difficulty. No matter if he stopped suddenly, changed direction in front of his body, or made a fake breakthrough, he never got rid of Li Kang. If it was just one-on-one, he would not be able to break through Li Kang's defense. There were only 5 rounds left in the attacking round. Seconds, is it a pass, is it a shot, or is it calling a pick-and-roll?At this moment, Crawford also hesitated. The time was passing quickly, and there was only one second left. He forced a three-pointer, but under the interference of Li Kang's long arm, he did not touch the basket. The 1-second violation caused the Knicks to make a mistake.

The audience applauded and cheered, and the Staples Center Arena was boiling. After only 1 minute of the opening, they defended the opponent for 24 seconds. The fans have not seen such a tough defense for a long time.The Lakers players were all very excited. Li Kang's defense was too aggressive. Kobe stepped forward and slapped Li Kang to show that he did a good job.

The ball is switched, the Lakers attack, Kobe asks for the ball, Bynum sends it to Kobe, Kobe advances with the ball, dribbles to the free throw line, faces Richardson's defense, makes an emergency stop, makes a mid-range shot, fades back, It's picturesque, huh! , hit, 4:2, the Lakers led by 2 points, with 9 minutes and 50 seconds left in the first quarter, the Knicks suspended.

The Zen master smiled without saying a word, held his glasses with his hand, and suddenly found that Li Kang's defense was as intimidating as Jordan's back then.Coupled with Kobe's offensive talent, it might not be possible to recast the glory, because they can vaguely see the shadows of Jordan and Pippen.

In addition to being inferior to Jordan in terms of physical talent, Kobe’s scoring ability and offensive skills are infinitely close to Jordan’s, and his three-point ability is even better than Jordan’s. As long as Li Kang grows up to the level of Pippen’s second master, he is confident that he can do it again. consecutive championships.

The Zen master decided to discuss with Brian Shaw. The defensive end is impeccable. Should he give Li Kang more ball possessions on the offensive end so that Li Kang can also play freely on the offensive end.

After a timeout, the Knicks decided to attack the inside first. Nate Robinson dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. The defense was not in place, and he quickly passed to Zach Randolph at the basket. Facing Bynum's defense, Randolph used Brilliant footwork, rocking Bynum, layup and foul Bynum, beep! , The referee whistled, the goal was valid, 4:4, an extra free throw, Randolph made a steady free throw, 4:5, the Knicks overtook the score.

Among the big fat players, Zach Randolph has a soft touch and outstanding shooting. He is also an alternative. Coupled with his flexible footwork, this is the legendary flexible big fat man.
