We are not really motivated by rankings. It is nice to be ranked the No. 1 team in the world, but we don't study the rankings so much, and sort of think if win or lose the series.

Of course we are hit by injuries but this series is a long series and this gives you an opportunity to come back into the series if you lose the first few games.
