Chen Feng smiled and replied calmly: "Kevin, I will also say that we will do our best to sweep you four to zero. Therefore, the determination to win is not just spoken from words, but from
Actions prove it. Perhaps, your performance tonight proves your determination to win."
After listening to Chen Feng's words, Kevin Durant smiled bitterly, history is written by the winners.
"Okay! Chen, I will definitely win the next game." Kevin Durant said something to Chen Feng and left first.

They swept the Thunder to zero, and then swept the Eastern Conference champions four to zero. However, the Thunder
Is it useful to say this? My buddy and I are buddies, but that’s in private, right? Not only Kobe and Durant are our enemies on the court, right? They look at us the same way!" Chen Feng led
