Guidance Zhang: "The Rockets have given everything they have and still haven't won the victory. It will be even more difficult to return to Los Angeles for the next game."

Teacher Xu: "Yao Mai performed well enough, and Alston also stepped up and scored 14 points. No one in the bench lineup could score."

Teacher Yang: "There is no miracle in the series. When we return to Los Angeles in the next game, the Lakers will most likely accept the game. The striker combination of Kobe and Li Kang has been pressing against the Rockets. There is no way, there is a shortage of people!"

ESPN reporter: "You lost the last game, what adjustments have you made in this game?"

Li Kang: "In the last game, our offense and defense were not ideal. In this game, the boss opened up the offense with full firepower, which set the tone for today's game. At the same time, we switched defenses in a timely manner after the opponent's pick-and-roll to prevent him from shooting easily."

ESPN reporter: "What are your expectations for the next game back in Los Angeles?"

Li Kang: "Playing two away games in a row, the fans at the Staples Center have been waiting for a long time. We will do our best to win the game!"
