Li Kang: "First of all, I would like to thank my teammates and coaching staff, without their trust and support, I would not be able to get to where I am today.
The second is to thank the Lakers fans. No matter how I perform, the fans have always supported and encouraged me. It is because of their encouragement that I have achieved what I am now.
The last thing I want to say is that this season, I will put more energy on the defensive end and attack Kobe and Gasol's restraining power. I just need to do a good job of defense, marking the core of the opponent's outside line, and preventing the opponent from scoring easily; In the rotation stage, I need to attack with all my strength and help defend the basket, so that the Lakers can dominate the game on both offense and defense.

The Rockets introduced Artest, who is excellent both offensively and defensively, which should not be underestimated.
The greatness of the Spurs' gdp combination doesn't need much explanation. "
