Not the original Lillard? Lillard: This statement is unfair. I m still very good

Recently, Lillard was interviewed, in which he talked about the reasons for his poor performance in the Bucks.

Lillard said: "To be honest, to me, this is just basketball. I don't think we didn't succeed. I think it takes a little luck to win at the highest level. You have to stay healthy and play the best basketball at the most critical moment. And we just don't have that luck."

"In my first season, everyone had a lot of complaints: 'The Bucks are like this, the Bucks are like that...' But we almost finished second in the East all season until the end One game fell to third. Then, in the first round of the playoffs, Antetokounmpo didn't play a single game. I missed two games: I was injured at the end of the third overtime game, I strained the Achilles tendon, and then missed Games 4 and 5. This year, I missed the first game, played Games 2 and 3, but I got injured again at the beginning of Game 4. So we never really stayed healthy. "

" Still, Antetokounmpo and I were the most lethal in the league during this period One of the combinations. We won the NBA midseason Championship. A lot of people wanted me to play somehow, but I was playing with a player who averaged over 30 points and he had the ball in his hand, just like I used to be in Portland. He was aggressive and kept hitting the basket. Still, I've averaged 25 points and 7 assists in the past two years. "

" So I think it's really unfair to say that I'm not the original Lillard. In Portland, I've always had the ball, So the picture presented is different. But in terms of output, my performance is still excellent, but everyone's evaluation is a bit biased. How many people can average 25 points and 7 assists per game when they are the first offensive point? And I can still do this with Antetokounmpo."

" So no, I won't say that I was 'unfinished' during this period. It's just that we really can't stay healthy, and that's our biggest obstacle. This problem is dragging us down every year."
