Harden: Last season, the outside world predicted that we could only win 35 games. The key is not what others think!

Today, Clippers star James Harden participated in the team's media day event.

Reporter: "Although the record last season is good, the ending is disappointing. In the face of the reality of 'time is unforgiving', how do you digest this regret? Everyone thinks that your chances of winning the championship are limited."

Harden: "I don't think we need to be immersed in regrets. Now our lineup is half replaced. I mean, I really feel full of vitality again. Looking back on last season, when they predicted that we could only win 35 games at the beginning of the season? In the end, we ended with a good record of fifth place in the West (50 wins and 32 losses), so I think the expectations this year will be a little different.

"I have played for too many teams. The key is not what others think, or how we feel. I think the most important thing is to figure out how to inspire each other's best condition and maximize our existing potential. This is the most important thing.

"You (the media) can write all kinds of things, but we have to ignore the noise. The season is long, there are ups and downs, and this is part of the NBA. Do you understand what I mean?

So I think it's like a roller coaster for us, and we need to find the best way to fight for the team, and once we find the right pace, we must unswervingly rush to the final goal."
