65438+1October 3 1 day, Lillard ended the game with the wildest buzzer of the season and led the Portland Trailblazers to beat the Chicago Bulls with 123- 122. Got 44 points, 5 rebounds and 9 assists.

Whenever it comes to the critical moment, Lillard's time seems to only go according to the time on his watch, which has nothing to do with the timer on the court.

With only 1 1.5 seconds left in the game, Bulls point guard Kobe White made two free throws, leaving the Blazers five points behind. These two free throws seem to have locked the game. Only Lillard jumped out after the timeout and immediately hit a three-pointer at a distance of nearly12m. The score became 120- 122.

In the Bulls' next attack, the Blazers double-teamed Zach Lavine in the bottom corner and forced the referee to blow a jump ball before he was ready to call a timeout. Trent jumped up and passed the ball to Robert Covernton, and Covernton stumbled at Lillard's feet.

Lillard threw a three-pointer at Bull center Raul Markanen's long arm, shocking four seats. Mark Kanin said: "He is one of the few players in the league who can hit such a shot. I jumped up and raised my arms before he shot. "

At last 10 second, Lillard was the first person since April 30th, 2006. On that day, the Los Angeles Lakers scored the jump ball in the last 6. 1 second of overtime against the Phoenix Suns, and Kobe Mamba sent a hit to win.

This goal is too unreal! Just look at garrett temple's expression. His eyes and expression can represent the feelings of all bulls after that moment. Disappointment, doubt and wonder are all on his face.

Nine seconds and six minutes. If you miss reggie miller's Miller Moment, it doesn't matter. Now you can watch the moment in Lillard.

After the victory, Trail Blazers coach terry stotts found it difficult to describe Lillard's key genes in words. "This is natural. This is a gift from God. "

Over the years, I have seen him at too many critical moments. Lillard is a typical strong player, and the critical moment is more terrible than usual. According to ESPN statistics, this is the third time in Lillard's career (including the playoffs), and he is also the player who has contributed the most times in the history of the Blazers.

Among them, Houston Rockets were eliminated in the 20 14 playoff, and Oklahoma City Thunder was eliminated in the 20 19 playoff.

Lillard has not only become the most terrible key player in NBA, but also set an excellent standard for why it is called "incredible shooting".

Lerad, an active "human killer essence" in NBA, is also.

At the same time, it was the 35th game in his career where he scored 40+, which no other player in the history of the Trailblazers could match. Clyde drexler, ranked second, played 17 40+ times, even less than half of Lillard's times.

Lillard said he was the most ambitious. He said: "Today's victory is special because we are five points behind with 1 1 second left. Usually in this case, the leading team will think that the game is basically over, and the lagging team will generally give up. But in my opinion, you can ask the coach that I am the most ambitious person in the world. Even if we are behind 15 seconds, I don't want to be replaced, otherwise I will be angry after the game. Of course, many times this situation can't be won, but I am too persistent inside, but today we won, so this game is different. "

This ambition began to appear as early as when he was in high school. When Lillard was a child, he had the ambition to be an NBA player. When he transferred to Oakland High School, he felt that he was getting farther and farther away from his dream. Many players get overwhelming praise at the ages of 13 and 14, and it is free to go out and play. But at that time, Lillard had to pay his own money to visit AAU's famous schools and buy his own sneakers.

Weber State University, where he attended, is not the top basketball school in America, but he wants to be the best player in college. When talented newcomers entered the NBA one after another, he honed in the university for four years and got his degree as he wished. It is Lillard's ambition to pursue his studies and career, and it is also his agreement with his parents.

After he entered the NBA in the sixth place, there were many questions about this senior rookie. At the end of the rookie season, he beat anthony davis to become the rookie of the year. Looking back on recent seasons, he has been growing in competition and competing in growth. He regrets losing several times in the all-star vote, and he has the ambition to be elected as an all-star; In the face of being eliminated in the playoffs, he has the tenacity to come again and the stubbornness to never hold a group. This ambition is unconvinced.

This game ended the Trailblazers' two-game losing streak and improved the Trailblazers' record to 10-8.

Portland people have a hard time without C.J. mccollum (sprained left foot), jusuf nurkic (right wrist fracture), Derrick Jones Jr. (sprained left foot) and Zach Collins (stress fracture of left ankle), but so far, they have persisted. In this special season, they are only half a game away from the fourth place in the West. Lillard once again proved that as long as he is here, the pioneers will always have a chance.

What exactly is this opportunity? Not sure. I only know one thing for sure. Damian lillard never missed an opportunity because of fear in his life.
