One Thousand Two Hundred and Eighty-Three. Tiankelilad!

I don’t know why, but when I came to Memphis this time, Lillard felt very uneasy when thinking about the game with the Grizzlies.

Up to now, Lillard has already locked in the best rookie of the season, but because he will be 23 years old in July this summer, he is still not optimistic about it. People think that he is just an older rookie whose potential has been fully developed in college.

He has been fighting hard and trying his best to prove himself when facing various stars. But even if he is an older rookie and his talent is more developed than other rookies, he is still far behind those stars who have been in the NBA for many years and is often abused.

The main reason is that the team’s lineup this season is far worse than before, and a large number of high-quality role players have left. Their team does not have the ability to really compete with strong teams, and at most they can occasionally upset.

Therefore, the record is not good, which is far worse than the record when Roy, who was seriously injured in the previous seasons, led the team. Currently, it has 29 wins and 45 losses, the last in the West.

All these things make Lillard's exposure rate much lower than Bradley Beal, Anthony Davis, Andre Drummond and others even though he has locked in the best rookie award.

People seem to be particularly harsh on him, always comparing him with the best rookies in the past few years, and even comparing him with Roy.

However, they seem to be very tolerant of Lillard's fellow rookies, only looking at their advantages.

Even Beverley of the Grizzlies has received more praise than Lillard, and Beverley's crazy dog-like defense has received quite good reviews.

This is a very contradictory situation. People don't seem to regard Lillard as a rookie, always comparing him with top players, but they also say that he has no potential.

Lillard cannot ignore these situations, but he is not discouraged and frustrated, and has been working hard.

Tonight, he will play against the Grizzlies and the best rookie three years ago. Lillard is once again ready to attack the already famous star!

…

“Damir Lillard, ability rating A-…”

Looking at the ability rating of Lillard on the opposite side, Sun Ce recalled that Lillard should be the player with the highest ability rating in the rookie season in recent years, except for Evans and Griffin.

He remembered that after Lillard entered the small ball era, he would become a scorer averaging 25+ per game, and occasionally be selected for the All-Star and All-NBA teams.

But Lillard now,

In Sun Ce's opinion, he is average, and he has not even triggered the event of "dominating the new generation", or perhaps he has not reached the triggering conditions. After all, Lillard in the future is still very strong, one of the six best guards in the future.

This game did not attract much attention. The Spurs, led by the "NBA Fashion Godfather", will have the last regular season match of the season with the Lakers tonight. Their Grizzlies' game against a weak team did not attract much attention.

As for the Blazers lineup, Sun Ce thinks the opponent's starting lineup is still very good, with Aldridge, who is in his prime and averages 21 points and 9 rebounds per game; Matthews, who averages 14 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game; Batum, who averages 14 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.1 blocks per game; JJ Hickson, who averages 12 points and 10.2 rebounds per game; and Lillard, who averages 19 points and 6.5 assists per game.

But the substitutes are too bad compared to the past few years. Last season, Batum was just a substitute, the starting small forward was Gerald Wallace, Matthews was also a substitute, and there were Jamal Crawford, Nolan Smith, Kurt Thomas...

Compared to the lineup with a salary of 80 or 90 million in previous years, the current Blazers are far behind.

It seems that the salary of more than 73 million is not bad, but among this 73 million, there is also the salary of more than 16 million of Roy who has been pardoned, which means that the salary of the Trail Blazers is not even below the poverty line...

Sun Ce's goal tonight is very simple, just to withstand the fierceness of the Trail Blazers' starting lineup in the opponent's starting lineup.

He remembered that the Trail Blazers will be a team that relies purely on the starting lineup for several years in the future. This is very famous. A team that has nothing but the starting lineup is easy to deal with.

...

At 5:30 in the evening, the Grizzlies' home game against the Trail Blazers started.

On the Grizzlies side, Sun Ce, Tony Allen, Paul George, Randolph, and Gasol Jr. started.

On the Trail Blazers side, Lillard, Matthews, Batum, JJ Hickson, and Aldridge started.

Sun Ce beat Aldridge in the jump ball, and the Grizzlies attacked first!

Paul George received the ball and advanced to the frontcourt. Sun Ce pulled away to the right corner. He knew that his touch was not good, but others did not know. After all, he was a three-pointer with an average of 4.1 three-pointers per game.

Paul George passed the ball to Randolph who was in the low post. Before the game, Sun Ce persuaded Randolph to play more singles on the grounds that he wanted Randolph to retaliate against the Trail Blazers.

Randolph received the ball and felt that Sun Ce was really a good brother!

After receiving the ball, Randolph forced Aldridge to attack. Lillard, who was defending Tony Allen, immediately closed in and double-teamed. Tony Allen cut in from the middle, and Sun Ce also cut in from the right baseline at the right time to help Randolph distract the opponent's attention.

Randolph was one against two! Turning around and throwing...missed!

But Aldridge did not defend the rebound well, and JJ-Hickson blocked Sun Ce. Randolph fiercely shot and grabbed the ball, and then shot again, and made a tip-in!

Being unable to defend has become the norm, and the Trail Blazers are used to it. Aldridge's defense is just okay, with average level of defense as a center. It is already very good to be able to play center in the Trail Blazers and not get injured.

JJ-Hickson is good at rebounding, but he is useless on defense.

The Trail Blazers are no longer the defensive team they were in the past few years.

During the transition between offense and defense, Lillard pushed forward, and unlike Paul George who he expected to defend him, he saw Sun Ce guarding the top arc.

This made Lillard very excited. When he got to the three-point line, there was no chance to shoot, so he just broke through!

Lillard was very confident in himself, and then... he was blocked by Sun Ce in the middle distance...

Lillard wanted to blow up Sun Ce and make a name for himself. As for whether he had the ability or not, he didn't care, he just wanted to be tough!

So, Lillard's fadeaway mid-range shot was slapped down by Sun Ce from the front!

Heaven's nemesis!

For a technical player like Lillard, Sun Ce defended too well!

Lillard has A+ level speed, A level strength, S- level burst acceleration... He is a strong player with solid shooting basics and extremely high basketball IQ.

But! Lillard's outstanding aspects are exactly the same as Sun Ce's outstanding aspects, and at the same age, Sun Ce is better!

With the "Level 4 acceleration and change of direction on the move", Sun Ce can have a second burst of acceleration on the defensive end. Lillard's powerful change of direction breakthrough can be restrained by Sun Ce.

There is also a huge height difference, and Sun Ce can keep up with the speed and completely cover Lillard!
