Chapter 707 (1/2)

Link knew that the party on the 28th was a tough fight, but not because the Blazers ranked fourth in the west, not because the Blazers had a good record of 33-12, or because they had the most perfect starting five tigers.

It's Damien Lillard.

At last summer's training camp, link got along well with all the stars in the camp. Of course, Lillard is also included.

Nonsense, if you don't deal with link, you won't come to the training camp hosted by link.

Contact with Lillard, link's most amazing is not his skills, but that guy really wants to show himself! Just as Kobe wants to win, Lillard has a terrible obsession with showing himself.

Lillard, like link, is an older rookie. I've been in College for four years, so I landed in the League later than many people.

What's more, Lillard is different from link in that he is still a lottery show with high expectations. Therefore, the starting point is later than others, which is a great disadvantage.

Most of the players who took part in the draft with Lillard were 19 or 20 years old. Paul George, the same age as Lillard, was an all-star player when he entered the league.

Lillard knew that he didn't have too much time to waste. So, be willing to take any opportunity to show yourself, and can't wait to tell people, ”I can!”

His desire to show himself was deep in the marrow.

Last summer at the training camp, Lillard loved to fight with link every time he developed a new move. He can't wait to let link know, ”Hey, man, you see, I can do the same!”

And in the game, Lillard will not miss any chance to show himself.

Last season, he beat Anthony Davis to win the rookie of the year. This season, Lillard averaged 20.7 points and 5.6 assists per game, with a 3-point shooting rate of nearly 40%. He is already one of the best point guards in the league. He took every game and tried to show himself.

This year's all star, Lillard took part in rookie competition, skills challenge and three-point competition. As long as he can attend, because he knows that the all star weekend is the perfect stage to show himself.

If Lillard is finally included in the all star backup lineup, then he will also appear in the all star game!

At the same time, only Lillard is willing to participate in four of the five all star events.

So grizzly bear will never be soft in the face of lard.

Playing Grizzlies means that it is a high-profile focus game. The best way to show yourself is to win in the match of focus!

Lillard has few complaints and few controversial remarks. He will always use the performance on the court to show himself to the world and correct his name. He told the world, ”older rookies can also do well in the NBA.”

Lillard doesn't want people to think that he is an older rookie and should be inferior. Before the draft, Lillard was even proud of his four years in college.

”I've got my degree, I've been on campus for four years, far from home, and I've taken this opportunity to grow up as a man. I'm not trying to belittle my rivals in the draft, but I'm definitely ahead of them in terms of experience. I think most of them are 19 or 20 years old, and some are even 18 years old. And I'm 21 years old, and this maturity has certainly helped me

It was to prove this that he killed four sides on the court.

Without a wise, mature mentality, it is impossible to say such words. Lillard is still calm and mature when he is young and frivolous.

If you just treat Lillard like a wet kid, you'll have to lose. As the reporters said, the Blazers are not easy to deal with. After all, they have a hard to deal with supernova point guard.

Link had nothing to do with the pioneers, but had a good personal relationship with Lillard and Aldrich. But in order to be able to personally take back 10 consecutive wins from thunder body, also had to fight hard with the Blazers.

The morning before the game, link woke up early. He was so excited that he couldn't wait for the game to start tomorrow night.

Link hasn't felt like this for a long time. An exciting opponent is not always available.

But before the game started, Lillard gave link a surprise.

As usual, link used to turn on the TV and listen to the sports news while making breakfast for himself.

As a result, I heard Lillard announce to participate in this year's dunk contest!

”The Trail Blazers point guard Damien Lillard announced this morning that he would take part in the all star slam dunk contest in half a month. So far, all four players in the slam dunk contest have been confirmed. If Lillard is finally selected for the all star game, he will become the first player in NBA history to participate in all five All Star Games

Link was surprised to hear the report. Full participation in individual events? That's too much!
