The gdp combination overwhelmed the Koga combination. Li Kang's absence was overwhelmed by the Spurs on both offense and defense. Except for Kobe, the Lakers were all at a disadvantage.

……

Barkley: "The Lakers are dead, and the Spurs will eventually reverse the Lakers and enter the Finals again."

……

The report "Li Kang is injured, the Lakers are defeated, and the series is in jeopardy" quickly hit the headlines of major media. Some experts predicted that the Spurs would eventually reverse the Lakers and enter the finals. They even predicted that the series would be 2:4. The team won four games in a row to advance.

……

Li Kang also saw these rumors and almost amused him.

Without him in the previous life, the Lakers still defeated the Spurs and entered the finals. Even if Li Kang was injured and missed two games, would the Lakers really not be able to beat the Spurs?

The answer is no, because of the addition of Li Kang, Kobe in this life has not made much effort, because many games can be won without Kobe's full attack.

There is a high probability that Kobe will be fully fired in the fourth game. Once Kobe exerts his strength, the Spurs will be unstoppable. Li Kang believes that the Lakers will win the match point and return to Los Angeles.
