On February 24, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season will resume tomorrow. Due to previous abdominal surgery, Trail Blazers star Lillard has been in the recovery phase. Previously, it was reported that Lillard would not return this season, and the Blazers are currently ranked 10th in the West with 25 wins and 34 losses.
Earlier today, Lillard took part in warriors star Green's show. In this show, Lillard responded to many questions. "I don't care [the criticism], I can understand that, they're used to watching me get 30 points per game, they're used to watching me break through dunks, they're used to watching me shoot backwards, and when they don't see those things, they say I'm overdone.' ”
Lillard continued: "I'm 31 years old and I really haven't missed a game like this before. But I'm not the one who always partyes, I take care of my body, and when I'm completely healthy, I don't give them any more excuses. They're really stupid, they have a lot to say all year, I can still average 24 points and 7 assists per game, you see the people they praised in the All-Star Game, there are a lot of people who can't do that, how good do I need to play? ”
At the same time, Lillard also talked about his position in the league, he said: "In my defender position, if you ask who is the best, who is the first, who can be ahead of me. Curry is the only answer I can accept. Curry was not widely optimistic at the beginning of his career, he started in the middle of his career, he also experienced a lot of injuries, his team also had moments of struggle, I have a lot of respect for him. ”
Lillard then talked about the lack of stars around him, saying: "I have only one All-Star teammate in my career, and that is Aldridge. He was an All-Star when I first entered the NBA, and we were all-Stars together twice, and after he left, the team didn't have an All-Star. I don't know if Portland has a hard time attracting stars, but who else goes to Russia? (Green laughed that there were still people going to Milwaukee.) I've lived in Portland for many years now, and if I don't like the city, I'd definitely choose another city. But in short, every city has stars who will go, such as Anthony went to the Thunder before. ”
In addition, Lillard spoke about team trades and individual season prospects. He said he wouldn't necessarily make a comeback because he wasn't sure what it would mean to make a comeback at this point in the season. Lillard also said he watched mcCollum play every game with the Pelicans, and Lillard said: "CJ really can't come back, it's all over, it feels like an era is over). ”
