Hello everyone, I'm a little devil basketball. Daily updates, please pay attention to when passing by!
Portland is a large city in Oregon in the western united states, and due to the wet and cold and rainy winters and hot and dry summers, which are suitable for the cultivation of roses, roses have become one of the city's major industries. Portland is also known as the City of Roses. Compared with the warm and romantic title of the City of Roses, his other name tears apart the city, which seems pathetic and desolate. The Blazers haven't been exposed to the O'Brien Cup since Bel watton led the team to a championship in 1977, and while they later had a fantastic lineup of Auden the Great, Roy and Aldridge, the illness tore apart all the city's hopes. The starting Five Tigers before 2015 also once let Blazers fans see the dawn of revival, but all this is only
It was a flash in the pan, but fortunately God didn't completely stand in their way.
After 2015, they left Damian Lillard, who was selected with the sixth pick in the first round in 2012, a young man who was calm and transcended age, born for big scenes, and had the nature of a cold-blooded killer. Born in Oakland, California, Lillard grew up surrounded by the darkness surrounding himself, thanks to the influence of his family environment and welfare agencies. Lillard did not lose his way as a child, and also fell in love with basketball, but because the family was not rich, Lillard at first could only shoot at the nearby branches, and then the branches were cut, Lillard's grandfather changed a box of milk into a basket, tied to a telephone pole, and let Lillard practice shooting, perhaps because of living in an ordinary family, Lillard was not optimistic from the outside world since childhood, but it was also because of this environment that Lillard's tenacious and indomitable character was shaped. Along the way, he was constantly crushing doubts and proving to the outside world that he was no worse than anyone else.
Due to race and varsity reasons in high school, Lillard transferred to Oakland High School after two transfers, where Lillard was only rated two stars in the high school rating list when he was a senior in high school, with a full score of five stars. The five-star players at the time included Jennings, Holliday, DeRozan and Aminu. Despite this, this does not hinder Lillard's strong performance, he can average 28 points per game in his senior year of high school, and even once bombed 45 points in a single game, leading the team to play a record of 23 wins and 9 losses, in high school, in addition to playing basketball, what he and his friends often do together is to play rap works, in fact, he began to play these in the sixth and seventh grades, and his brother often played rap in the room, when taking the bus to squeeze the subway, he and his friends would often compete in music. Rap is a way for him to express himself. Lillard came up with his first rap song in his sophomore year of high school, but he and his friends recorded it in the basement through old equipment, and lillard did not give up his passion for rap because of basketball, and after entering the league, Lillard would still spend a lot of time on rap, and in order to record the album before the boot camp, he would drill into the studio for 12 hours a day to create. Lillard has his own principles when it comes to lyrics, and unlike many hip-hop artists, he doesn't use dirty words or unhealthy words. Although this would make it more difficult to create, because he felt that there were a lot of kids who would listen to his songs, he didn't want those kids to be influenced by something bad. The famous singer Learway is very sure of Lillard, Lillard will not talk about those expensive things, he will spread positive energy and optimistic attitude in the song, such a rapper is rare today, at least I have never seen another singer like Lillard, I think this is a portrayal of Lillard itself, not the song itself the lyrics are very optimistic. Lillard also hosts concerts and often participates in TV shows and music festivals. Still, Lillard positioned himself in his role, music is where my passion lies but basketball always comes first.
After the start of the season, Lillard will devote all his energy to the game and play well as always. Before going to college, because no american school was willing to provide scholarships to Lillard, Lillard finally had to choose an unknown Weber State University, in which Lillard's progress every year was visible to the naked eye, from 11.5 points per game in his freshman year to 19.9 points in his sophomore year, and also led the team to win the regular season championship in the division. But after his junior year, Lillard was absent for a year due to a foot injury, and it was also because of this injury that Lillard's draft prospects were only second-round shows. In order to prove his worth again, Lillard chose to fight for another year, scoring a team-high 24.5 points in his final year of college and leading the team to a record of 25 wins and 7 losses. And this year's strong performance made Lillard's draft market rise sharply, and finally he was selected by the Blazers with the sixth pick in the first round in 2012, and the champion of that year was the talented player Anthony Davis, who just entered the league and was regarded as the successor of the future league, stealing the limelight of that draft player, but Lillard did not seem to think so, Lillard averaged 19 points per game throughout the season. He overpowered Anthony Davis's 13.5 points and hit 185 three-pointers in a single season, breaking Curry's rookie single-season three-point shooting record. Becoming the best player of the class of 2012 at the time, Lillard performed well and made steady progress every year, but he was just not recognized. By the time Lillard led the team to the third best result in the West this season, facing the Thunder in the playoffs, it seems that the world thinks that the Thunder team with the two superstars of Westbrook and George will be swept 4-0 by the Blazers, and as a result, Lillard only used two games to shut the world and beat the Thunder at home without any ability to fight back. In the fifth game, Lillard scored 10 three-pointers and scored 50 points. In the final two seconds of the game, facing Paul George's retreating ultra-long-range whistle three-point kill sent the Thunder home and advancing to the second round of the playoffs.
When Lillard was in the draft, chris Farr, an assistant coach at the university, described Lillard as needing people who didn't like him to give him the motivation to face his fate. Lillard is such a person, he always takes the outside world's doubts as his driving force to move forward, and he can also cope with the pressure calmly, so that he can still carry the torn city on his shoulders after the starting Five Tigers have reached 4 people. So much so that in countless moments of life and death, they are always so punctual. It is because of Damian Lillard, the natural leader, that they have the possibility of tearing everything apart.
