Now let’s see how to achieve this victory.

After the playoff rankings were determined, Lin Ying received a call from Durant.

More than half a month of mass killing has allowed Durant to come out of the shadow of broken love.

At this time, he was full of excitement.

He wants to beat Kobe, and Lin Ying wants to beat Anthony. This is a pretty good result in his eyes.

"I will plant the Thunder flag on the top of the city of Los Angeles."

This way of speaking feels like a "little bully".

"Then we'll see you in the Western Conference Finals!"

Lin Ying made an agreement with Durant.

He is also a young man!

…

Denver.

Because they have the home court advantage, the Nuggets are waiting for work.

Karl only arranged some basic training in the public training sessions.

After training, Anthony and Billups chatted on the sidelines.

He seemed to be in a pretty good mood and quite relaxed.

"Chauncy, I think we are the championship."

Anthony is now full of confidence. The addition of Jamison has greatly increased the team's firepower. He feels that no one can stop him.

"Mello, we still have to keep a low profile. Now is not the time to talk about this."

Billups is trying to persuade Anthony.

After more than a year of contact, he also knew Anthony's casual personality. If he didn't persuade him, Anthony would probably say such things in front of the media.

"Why not? I don't think there's a team that's better than us right now."

Anthony frowned, feeling that Billups was a bit disappointing.

"As the defending champion, the Lakers are stronger than us."

Billups reminded him.

"Their desire to compete is far worse than last season, and after gaining weight, I have the confidence to suppress Kobe. They are no match for us."

Anthony disagreed.

"The Rockets have Yao, and it's not easy for us to guard against him."

Billups continued to remind.

"Then what? They only have Yao. Carter and Artest are both old. Brooks is a black hole on the court. Their overall strength is much worse than ours."

Anthony still didn't care, and even adjusted his sitting posture.

"Even if we can break out of the West, there are still Celtics in the East, and their strength is no weaker than the Lakers."

Billups feels that Anthony's current mentality is really overconfident.

"Chauncy, those three old guys are even worse. They may not be able to break through from the Eastern Conference this season. You think too highly of them."

Anthony waved his hands repeatedly.

"The Cavaliers' deadline-day transactions are also underestimated. Their ability to have the league's best record speaks volumes."

Billups finally spoke.

Just then Anthony finally sat up straight.

"That's the perfect script. Beat the Cavaliers and beat LeBron. That's what I want most."

When he said this, he had a look of longing on his face, and the moment when he reached the top podium seemed to flash in his eyes.

Billups was speechless.

At this moment, a reporter came over.

After getting Anthony's permission, the reporter began the interview.

"Mello, what do you think of the Suns, our first-round opponent? Now Lin is in the Suns."

The reporter still put some thought into it.

"I don't care who's on the Suns, I don't even care who the Suns are or who we're playing against."

After a brief exchange with Billups, Anthony became more confident.

"You mean, the Nuggets only have a championship goal?"

This reporter's mind is very flexible.

"I didn't say that."

Anthony glanced at Billups and kept a low profile.

"Does that mean the Nuggets still have no chance of winning the championship this year?"

This reporter is also a veteran. He dug a hole without waiting for anyone, and quickly dug a second one that was bigger and more hidden.

"Of course not, we are the championship."

So in the end, the casual Anthony expressed his truest thoughts.

Billups on the side was rejoicing one second, and the next second he was already complaining about Anthony.

On that day, Anthony's remarks that the Nuggets were already the championship spread among fans and various teams.

This is completely different from what Lin Ying said at the beginning of the season that the Suns' goal is to win the championship.

Because at the beginning of the season, anyone could say that, the Lakers could do it, the Celtics could do it, the Cavaliers could do it, and of course the Suns could do it.

But it's different now. The playoffs are about to begin.

And what Anthony said is not that the goal is a championship, but that the Nuggets are the championship.

This is equivalent to direct communication (heng) to sue (di)!

Los Angeles.

Kobe couldn't help but smile when he heard his teammates say this.

He knows very well what the Nuggets are like and what Anthony is like.

From the moment Lin Ying was kicked out of Denver, the Nuggets had no chance of winning a championship.

Houston.

"Did he really say that?"

After hearing this, Yao Ming couldn't help but ask Artest to confirm.

After seeing Artest's confirming nod, he couldn't help but shake his head.

This is really true, and I don’t have the Rockets in my hands.

He now hopes that the Nuggets can advance to the second round and then play against them.

San Antonio.

"Haha! Hahaha!"

Popovich laughed a lot when he heard this comment.

When people asked him why he was smiling so happily, he just smiled and said nothing.

But he didn't have the same idea as Yao Ming.

Because he knows that the Nuggets have a high probability of not passing the Suns in the first round.

But he still found it interesting to hear such a funny joke before the game against the Rockets.

Phoenix.

Everyone on the Suns team had different expressions.

Some people were angry and scolded him, while others thought Anthony was a bit funny.

Lin Ying remained silent and did not speak.

But he also had ups and downs of emotions inside.

The competition in the Western Conference this year is so fierce. Let alone the championship, the Lakers can't even say that they are guaranteed to break out of the Western Conference.

Anthony really feels like he has made himself the target of public criticism.

But this should be considered a good thing.

Now it is estimated that a lot of teams are waiting to see the Nuggets joke.
Chapter completed!
