Damian Lillard is hot. The Portland star continued his disruptive fitness early in the morning (Sunday) with 44 points and another typical three-pointer in a 122: 123 win over Chicago (a third buzzer in his career).
The Blazers star, who continues his great fitness as he presented at the end of last season in a bubble in Orlando, this time was responsible for two threes (out of eight) in the final nine seconds of the tackle, with the latter hitting right on the buzzer.
Less than ten seconds to the buzzer, Chicago led by five points, but then Damien came into action with 2 threes from another world. “It’s just in his blood, he has a gift he received from God,” Portland coach Terry Stotes praised, “You can’t teach things like that. You’re just born with it. Damien was just born with it.”
In the concluding interview, the protagonist of the night explained how it all started: “All my life I grew up in a very competitive and challenging atmosphere, I think it all starts with what family you grew up in. In our family we compete with each other to death, and once you set standards like that, And manages to face every challenge you face. “
“This win is really very special,” Lillard continued, “we were five behind and there was not much time left on the clock. These are the moments when the leading team thinks everything is over, and its opponent is already losing confidence in itself. Although our team seemed desperate, the opposite happened on the floor.”
