On December 22, Beijing time, the Pelicans defeated the Blazers 111-97 at home to win three consecutive games. The recent pelicans at the bottom of the West suddenly broke out somewhat unexpectedly, this game the Pelicans have been pressing the Blazers to play, the first quarter to lead by 3 points, halftime to lead by 5 points, the third quarter to lead by 6 points, the final quarter is only to let the Blazers get 19 points net win of 8 points, the lack of major generals Blazers can only rely on Damian Lillard alone.
Fans who watched the game will feel very tragic, Lillard played 5 in the last quarter, the Blazers only scored 19 points in the final quarter, and Lillard scored 3 of 7, 2 of 2 of three points, 2 of 2 of free throws to score 10 points, in addition to 2 assists, in other words, at least 14 points came from Lillard, and the final quarter score accounted for nearly 74%, how did this game play?
Lillard scored 40 minutes, 13 of 24, 6 of 11 three-pointers, 7 of 8 free throws, 39 points, 7 assists, 2 rebounds and 1 steal, shooting 54.2%, 54.5% of the three-point shooting rate, he scored 40.2% of the team alone, the Pelicans were multi-point blossoming The whole team 3 people 20+, six people in doubles, the Blazers only 4 people on the double Lillard 20+.
In the last three games, Lillard has 42 points, 8 assists and 4 rebounds, 32 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, 39 points, 7 assists and 2 rebounds, and the Blazers have won 2 wins and 1 loss, if this is still saying that Lillard is behind the pot, then Lillard should really apply for a trade, he has paid too much for this team.
Lillard is actually very tolerant, in the offseason he hopes that the management will find Kidd for the team, but the team is looking for Billups (Lillard endured); Lillard hopes that the team trades ben Simmons to improve the defense, the team did not do it (Lillard also endured); Billups hopes that Lillard will play more without the ball this season, and when the game first began, Lillard also endured 1 out of 10, 2 of 13, but this did not bring respect, the decline in data also made him criticized, and no one from the management came forward to explain for him.
For the Blazers' all-time superstar, the Blazers management is really speechless, than Lups's tactical system is not established at all, but lillard is sacrificed, and now lillard all kinds of explosions do you want him?
