Chapter 129: Everything is Ready.
"Championship? Us?" Battier's reaction was just like Randolph's earlier.
No, he might even be more realistic.
After all, going from winning one playoff game to contending for a championship is quite a leap.
But Han Sen's next words to Battier were very different from what he had told Randolph.
"Who do you think is most likely to make it to the Finals from the East this year?"
"Miami," Battier responded quickly after only a brief pause.
The Eastern Conference contenders this year were the Bulls, Heat, Celtics, and Magic.
The Celtics were getting too old, the Magic weren't much of a threat anymore, and the Bulls were too young.
In comparison, though the Heat had some chemistry issues, the playoffs are the stage for superstars, and in that regard, they already had the edge.
"Do you think we stand a chance against the Heat if we meet them in the Finals?"
"Yes." This time, Battier didn't hesitate at all.
