"Haha, if you still want to win the championship with this lineup of the Trail Blazers, save it!"

"Do you really think it's great if you lead your team to win the World Cup? The only win was Team B of the United States!"

"Last year, we happened to reach the Western Conference Finals. Zhou Si thought it was the team's true strength?

Not to mention the aging Spurs, if it hadn’t been for Sterling’s incident with the Clippers, the Trail Blazers might not have passed the first round!”

When Zhou Si was fully obsessed with cultivating a tacit understanding with his teammates and building a tactical system, there was a lot of ridicule on the Internet about Zhou Si's declaration of winning the championship.

In the eyes of those people, Zhou Si was dazzled by the victory in the World Cup and was too arrogant.

At this time, ESPN came again to add fuel to the fire.

In the season preview that appears at the beginning of every season, they ranked the Trail Blazers at the top of the list!

When they predicted that China would be ranked first in terms of strength during the World Cup, they were greatly questioned by American netizens. Unexpectedly, the Chinese team actually won the championship in the end.

To be honest, ESPN, which is famous for its "Zhou Hei", really didn't want to brag about Zhou Si's improvement in the relationship with Zhou Si, but wanted to praise the Chinese team. Unexpectedly...

The intention of ranking the Trail Blazers at the top this time is also very obvious——

Damn it, I don’t believe that poisonous milk can’t kill you!

ESPN wrote in this season preview.

"Although there are many super teams in the league this season, we still believe that the Trail Blazers can stand out!

Zhou Si was able to lead the team to the Western Conference Finals in his first season. This season we believe that his strength will continue to improve by leaps and bounds, break a series of incredible records and eventually lead the team to win the championship!

With Zhou Si here, not winning the championship would be a failed season for the Blazers."

Zhou Si also laughed when he saw this report!

Sure enough, the person who knows you best is your enemy. I guess even Zhou Mi would not dare to brag like this!

Failure if you don’t win?

You really think highly of me!

ESPN continues to favor James in this season preview.

"They have the best offensive talent!

LeBron James is the undisputed number one player in the league, and Aldridge is the best shooting power forward. James and James complement each other perfectly;

Kyrie Irving is also one of the best point guards with extraordinary offensive talent. This World Cup Irving also proved that he has the ability to play team basketball;

Although Little Shark Bynum sometimes seems nonsensical, no one has doubted his talent. He has the top five low-post offensive skills in the league!

In addition, the Cavaliers' supporting role is also underestimated. A healthy Varejao is the Cavaliers' most reliable defensive player and rebounder;

Dion West can transform into an excellent pitcher, while Mike Miller and James Jones have long been top pitchers, and Shawn Marion is the most comprehensive defensive outside player.

We have reason to believe that the Cavaliers will stand out from the Eastern Conference and challenge for the Gold Cup."

Ranked third are the Spurs.

"Although the Spurs are another year older, we still choose to put them in this position.

As long as GDP lasts, they will be the most powerful contenders for the championship!

This summer they successfully robbed David West while retaining their rotation, and we believe they will still defeat age, their biggest enemy, this season!"

Ranked fourth are the Warriors.

"I know that putting the Warriors, who reached the Finals last year and acquired Love in exchange for Love in the summer, in this position will definitely be criticized by many fans.

But to be honest, fans who watched last season's finals know that both the Trail Blazers and Spurs deserve to be in the finals more than the Warriors.

At least, they won't be so at a loss when facing the Bulls' iron barrel formation.

The three Tsunami brothers, Carrefour, are likely to support the top three offenses in the league, but their defense is very worrying."

Ranked fifth is the Bulls.

"There will definitely be a lot of Bulls fans scolding me for ranking last season's champion in this position.

But to be honest, the Bulls, who only strengthened their wing shooters during the offseason, will find it difficult to replicate the success of last season in the new season. The first four teams are likely to be better than them!

In the new season, the Bulls' defense will still be their biggest reliance, but the advantage may not be as huge as last season!"

Ranked sixth are the Rockets.

"It's hard to imagine that the Space City got Howard and Bosh at the same time this summer.

The combination of Harden, Bosh and Howard can really arouse the endless imagination of fans. I even heard that some Houston fans have begun to covet the championship.

But, trust me, the three of them can be dominant on some nights, but they're also bound to have some bad performances.

We all believe that the role of playoff spoiler is more suitable for them."

Ranked seventh is the Clippers.

“On paper, the Clippers have become stronger:

Spencer Hawes is one of the best top three-point shooters around, and he's exactly what the Clippers need because neither Andre Jordan nor Glen Davis can space the floor for Griffin.

Stephenson strengthened the Clippers' weakest wing, but I don't know if Paul can deal with this thorn.

Jordan Farmar is a better backup point guard and has become one of the league's most accurate shooters.

What can be seen is that although it is difficult for the Clippers to become the favorite to win the championship in the new season, it is also difficult to fall out of the playoffs."

Ranked eighth is the Thunder.

"Last season, we were only ranked first in the Western Conference. Let me observe three seconds of silence.

But to be honest, it is really difficult for the Thunder team without Durant to compete with the above-mentioned strong teams.

MVP Durant's return from injury will still greatly improve the Thunder's strength, but they are really getting further and further away from the championship."

Ranked ninth are the Lakers.

"Howard left, Nash retired, and Gasol was even involved in trade rumors.

The Lakers F4, which had great success and won the championship two seasons ago, has officially disbanded.

We will not discuss the feud between Kobe and Howard, nor will we discuss Kobe's retention of Gasol, nor will we discuss the Lakers' coaching change...

Well, how much fuel the Lakers have left in the new season really depends on Kobe this time!"

…

This ESPN season preview naturally attracted a lot of heated discussions from fans.

There is no doubt that the Trail Blazers or Zhou Si is once again at the forefront.

Zhou Si didn't respond much, just silently sent a status:

"It looks like we have to win the championship~"

Then……

Programmers of Weibo, Tieba, Hupu, Live Broadcast, etc. have to work overtime again...

Bang bang bang!

The topic that was already arousing heated discussions was directly brought to the top!

"Thanks to a certain media for being poisonous. The devil has become serious. I wish you another successful prediction!"

"Trail Blazers championship?!

Mark the horse first!"

"A World Cup champion and an NBA championship are more worthy~"

"Wow~ I can see the Demon God in the China game in a few days, I'm so happy~"

Just then, a super breaking news came!
Chapter completed!
