He could tell right away that this guy thought the Thunder was stable!

It is also understandable that the Thunder have been suppressed miserably by two super teams in the Western Conference in the past two years, especially the Lakers.

It's so easy to get past the Lakers this year. It would be crazy if you don't have a little mental expansion.

"Kevin, don't blame me for not reminding you, the Spurs are much stronger than you think."

Lin Ying said something from his heart.

Looking at it with the eyes of the sky, in history, the Spurs were the championship this year.

Although many things have changed due to his butterfly effect, Thunder is much stronger than at the same time.

But this year's Spurs are very different, because they play a rare team style.

For a general championship-level team, the performance of the core players is critical and easy to target.

But with the Spurs, you can't target them and you don't know what will happen.

After all, Danny Green can give you 7 of 10 three-pointers in a game.

"I know, don't worry, I will definitely make it to the finals this year."

But Durant didn't care what Lin Ying said.

After all, many times a sentence that you feel deeply may be no different to others than a string of numbers.

"There is a price to pay for underestimating your opponents, Kevin."

However, Lin Ying couldn't help but give another reminder.

After all, if possible, he still hopes to have a fight with Durant in the finals.

"I understand. Don't lose to that guy LeBron. We have agreed that Russell will invite me to his house tonight. Let's not talk anymore."

Durant hung up the phone after saying that.

Lin Ying stared at the phone for a moment, then shook her head.

No matter how many things Durant has to do, he can't take care of it. The key now is that he has to get through the Knicks first.

Although the team's morale and condition seem to be good now, the Knicks are really not that easy to deal with.

…

Madison Square Garden, like the Nets, the Knicks players are also excited.

Especially James, with his beard, seems to have really turned into the British emperor.

During training, he made all kinds of dunks and abused the frame, venting his excitement to his heart's content.

He just wants to start the game early and beat the Nets hard.

It doesn't matter what conflicts he has with Chandler and Claude, the most important thing is his status.

He needs such a victory to regain his lost status.

This season, the guys at TNT have rated Lin Ying as the new number one player in the league.

That should have been his title.

After the training, Riley also led the Knicks players to give a rare speech.

"You are the most talented team I have ever coached, and I have always believed you can do it. The Avengers on Christmas was just a joke, but this time, I hope you will become the real Avengers and change the name of the team."

Take back what is rightfully yours."

Riley is not good at chicken soup, but you don’t need to be good at many things. As long as you can speak from your heart, it is more useful than anything else.

After finishing speaking, Riley took James to chat alone for a while.

"I got some news, they said you're going to be the MVP this season."

Riley came to tell James the good news.

The annual MVP selection is usually determined before the conference finals, and this year is no exception.

For a being of Riley's level, knowing this result in advance is not surprising.

James' face was excited after hearing this, but he quickly hid it.

Riley smiled after seeing it, then reached out and patted James on the shoulder,

"I know you are always the best."

The two of them chatted for a few more words.

After James left, Riley, who had been smiling all the time, took a long breath, and then looked at James' back thoughtfully.

He did have connections and got the selection results in advance.

But that result was not James.

And the reason why he said this in advance was because he wanted James to be full of anger during the game.

Avenger, if there is no anger in the heart, how can one be called an Avenger!

…

Before the start of the conference finals, the league announced the third batch of awards of the season, which is also the award that fans are most concerned about: regular season MVP.

The last person to receive the MVP award was Lin Ying.

Lin Ying won the season's scoring title and led the Nets to the second-best record in the league.

His total vote rate reached 45%, which was more than James (24%) and Durant (20%) combined.

This result instantly caused huge controversy.

"LeBron's statistics were better last year, but you're talking about record; this year the Knicks' record is better, and you're talking about statistics?"

"That's enough. Stern is licking Lin to death now. LeBron will never get fair treatment!"

"This result is very good. I can't wait to see the Knicks beat the Nets this year. How ridiculous Stern's approach will prove to be in the end!"

"Come on, come on, competitive sports, strength speaks for itself, slap the league in the face!"

…

When James saw this result, he was discussing summer schedule arrangements with Paul.

Because they received the news from Riley in advance, they had already taken the MVP factor into consideration.

So when he saw the news, James' whole face was livid.

He knew that Riley certainly wouldn't lie to him. This must be Stern's guy.

Is it now so blatant that it directly changes the results of the media vote?

"I'll go out and make a phone call."

Paul said as he stood up and left the room.

His insight is very strong, and he can clearly feel that James at this time,
Chapter completed!
