On November 1, Beijing time, the Hornets' NBA focus showdown against the Blazers came to an end, and finally the Hornets crushed the opponent to win, still ranking firmly in the top 5 in the East.
And in this game, the culprit of the Blazers' loss is still the familiar name, NBA 75 superstar Damian Lillard. The league supergiant performed extremely badly, playing 38 minutes, shooting 5-of-20, 14 points, 4 rebounds and 12 assists on 2-of-14 shooting from three-point range, although the data is good, but he was crushed by the opposite side.
He scored 27+9+7 on 10-of-20 three goals against him, and as a 20-year-old second-year rookie, he is far more mature than Lillard, and the data is also a complete explosion of Lillard. Don't look at Lee's guidance assists on the double, but it is useless, many are invalid assists, the team has been losing points when he is on the court, but when three goals are on the field, the Hornets are the most won.
And the key problem is that Lillard is now not only playing badly, but his tricks under the new tactical system are all gone. In the past, Lillard had two very good moves, one was to break through and create fouls, and the other was to go beyond three points. Now under the new rules, Lillard can't make a foul first, he doesn't have a whistle, and no one gives him the free throws he wants.
Many people are concerned that Harden has suffered a new version of the epic weakening, feel that Dengge can not cheat the free throws, in fact, Lillard is the most weakened one, after all, the last harden penalty 19 balls, has found a new way of playing, and since the start of the new season, Lillard has only got 20 penalties in five games, with an average of only 4 free throws per game, and can no longer deceive the whistle.
Against the Hornets, Lillard had just 2 free throws and averaged 3.6 free throws per game in six games, and without free throws, he was really not so terrible, which even led to his average of 20 points per game. This game against the Hornets Lillard is crazy lost, this three-point 14 2 is not once or twice, because since the new season of 6 games, in addition to this 14 shooting 2, three-point shooting rate of 14.3%, he also has a 9-of-0 and a game of 8-of-0.
An NBA's top 75 superstar who can shoot 2-of-31 in three games in the new season should not be worthy of the top 75 superstar. At present, Maddy and Yao Ming are indeed more worthy than him, not to mention there is a man named Howard, who has basically won most of the honors except for the MVP.
It seems that he is indeed the most watery one, and don't pay attention to Harden anymore. Bearded has been playing better and better, the last game 29 +8 +8, this game three quarter clocked in with 18 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists of the triple double, in the case of Durant was expelled to lead the team to win. What about Lillard? The new rule now averages only 18 points per game, even if it is ranked 150 superstars, Lillard may not be able to enter, compared to the high posture of the offseason, Lillard is really punched in the face. Every day, he taunts James, Harden and other super giants who hold a group, but where does his own performance come from?
