When Jin Feng's interview with ESPN ended, on the other hand, the preseason game between the Spurs and the Rockets also happened to end, but the result of this game was beyond many people's expectations.

Before the game, the Spurs official not only announced that Jin Feng would not play in this game, but also announced that in addition to Parker and Leonard continuing to miss due to injury, Dejounte Murray will not play in this game.

On the other hand, on the Rockets' side, D'Antoni said that all players, including Chris Paul, who was brought in at a high cost by the team in the offseason, will play in this game.

Therefore, before this game starts, many people are optimistic about the Rockets fighting at home.

However, now that the game is over, the winner is Spurs, even if it is a narrow victory by 1 point.

What does this mean?

I'm afraid everyone can think of something, which at least means that the defending champions are still the strongest contenders for the championship in the new season, which means that the Houston Rockets want to challenge the defending champions, and there is still a lot of work to be done.

It's not just the Rockets, it's also a wake-up call to other teams in the league that are aiming for a championship in the new season that they want to beat the Spurs, and it's definitely not as simple as they imagined.

Especially for teams that spend a lot of money to bring in superstar players, it is a reminder that relying on the accumulation of stars alone may not be successful.

………

'We were better, everybody was in good shape, and I actually told everyone before the game, just relax and play and play what we should have.'

After the game, Spurs head coach Vicky was interviewed by the media, and in front of the camera, Vicky looked very confident.

"The goal for the new season? Man, it's obviously funny that you ask, but I can answer you, as the defending champions, we have only one goal for the new season, and that's to defend the title."

When a reporter at the interview site proposed the goal of the Spurs for the new season, the goal of the Spurs for the new season was straightforwardly stated by his half-dignified answer.

Yes, as Vicky said, as the defending champions, they have only one goal for the new season, and that is to defend the title.

"I keep repeating, he's a kid with a lot of potential, last season he was unbelievable in the finals, he's always very confident, he believes he can do it, so, he's done it, new season, I'm sure he'll grow even better"

This is not the first time that ** Vicky has publicly praised Jin Feng, but it is obvious that when someone at the scene hopes that the old man will evaluate Jin Feng again, people can see the pride in the old man's expression.

As the new season gets closer and closer, many media are paying more and more attention to the new season, such as TNT TV in the United States, which organized an online voting campaign for the predicted ranking of the team to win the new season.

In the final online voting predictions, it is not the defending champion Spurs who are at the top of the odds to win the championship, but the Golden State Warriors, and the Spurs are in second place.

When this data was announced, it immediately caused a heated discussion.

However, the reason why the Warriors will become the biggest favorites for the championship is that many people who are optimistic about the Warriors also gave their reasons.

That is, they think that the Warriors in the new season will undoubtedly be much stronger than last season, first, last season's Warriors were Durant's first season, and the team's chemistry has not reached its best to a certain extent, second, this offseason, the Warriors have strengthened, and they have signed Nick Young and Cosby while retaining the core lineup of last season, so the Warriors in the new season have increased their hard power by at least 2.3% compared with last season.

On the other hand, the Spurs, like the Warriors, have still retained the core lineup last season, but the problems that have plagued them in the past few seasons will continue to exist in the new season, especially how much gas does Tony Parker still have in his mailbox after returning from injury? This is an unknown, don't forget, one of their interior twin towers is a year older, and the other performance in the first two seasons is not too good, in addition, Rudy Gay is indeed an excellent player, but his unknown is too great, and what cannot be ignored is that the "old demon knife" has retired, which has not had a half-star impact on the Spurs, that is, many people think that the Spurs in the new season have not only not improved in terms of hard power compared with last season, but have declined to a certain extent.

So, that's why many people are bullish on the Warriors.

"This is what Americans have always done"

"Actually ignoring my brother Feng's existence?"

"Spicy Chicken predicts that my brother Feng will lead the Spurs to slap them hard in the new season"

…………

Seeing this prediction data, the Chinese fans on the other side of the ocean quit, because this is a voting prediction launched for local fans in the United States, so, in the eyes of many Chinese people, the reason why Americans rank the Warriors in front of the Spurs is just that they are unwilling to admit the rise of Jin Feng, and they can't accept the fact that the yellow race, who has never been able to play basketball well in their eyes, actually led the team to win the championship.

It's no wonder that the Chinese people are so angry, in fact, it is true that as the Chinese people say, among the reasons given by those American fans, few people mention the name of "China Jin", even if everyone knows that Jin Feng is the MVP of the finals!

Racism still exists!

It's hard for the yellow race to survive in the NBA!

This is still true today!

Some good media outlets don't think it's a big deal, so they interview Jin Feng with "the anger of Chinese fans", and they want to know what Jin Feng thinks about this prediction.

"Haha, what does this prove? Man, you know before the start of last season, I remember TNT making the same prediction, and in that prediction, if I'm not mistaken, the Spurs were only third on that list, but what about the result? Obviously, it doesn't make sense"

Jin Feng's high emotional intelligence was once again on display, and the media wanted to see Jin Feng's angry response, but Jin Feng did not choose to answer the question head-on at all, but cited what happened before the start of last season, which immediately left the media speechless.

"Jin Feng, now many people in China think that racial discrimination in the NBA still exists, and it is very difficult for yellow people to survive here, what do you think about this?" A domestic media asked Jin Feng such a question.

"On this issue, I can only tell you that in the Spurs, there is no such problem, in the league, maybe, but in my opinion, if you want to win the approval of others, the best way is to prove it with hard power."

"I think we have the ability to defend the title in the new season, which is undeniably the only goal of the team for the new season"
