At the post-game press conference.
On the Lakers' side, many were won over by Zeng Xingyang.
A reporter asked, "Kobe, what do you think about being down by as much as 24 points?"
What the hell do you think?
Kobe replied, "They played better, we played like crap."
The reporter asked, "Kobe, how do you currently evaluate Zeng?"
Kobe said, "F*ck, the guy scored 44 points in front of me, what else can I say?"
Kobe gave the reporter a harsh look, he was about to blow up.
The reporter asked, "What do you think Zeng's future in the league could be?"
Kobe said, "There shouldn't be any limits; he has infinite potential."
Even though they lost to the Nuggets, Kobe still gave Zeng Xingyang a very high evaluation.
Purely in terms of basketball skills, he felt Zeng Xingyang had strong potential for growth.
