Back in the third quarter, with Lillard's continued outburst, the game lost its gimmick and the outcome lost its suspense.

At the end of the first three quarters, the Trail Blazers led the Clippers by 22 points, 87:65.

In the fourth quarter, the Clippers coach had no plans to make a final struggle. When the main lineup sat on the bench, he surrendered to the Trail Blazers!

At the 3rd minute of the final quarter, the Trail Blazers called a timeout.

"Damien, do you still want to fight?"

Trail Blazers coach Terry Stotts asked.

So far, Lillard has played the first three quarters of the game, and with the 3-pointer in the final quarter, he has scored 49 points.

A new career high!

According to Lillard's explosive trend tonight, if he continues to play, 50 points is a certainty, and 60 points is not impossible.

"No!"

Lillard did not hesitate and quickly gave the answer.

Spending garbage time to gain points is not in line with his character, and he disdains such behavior.

"OK."

Terry Stotts nodded.

Since then, Lillard has not played again.

In the end, the Trail Blazers won the game 115:88, beating the Clippers by 27 points and achieving a double kill against the Clippers.

Lillard's personal statistics are stuck at 49 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, which is enough to boast a lifetime triple-double.

Of course, everyone knows that Lillard's time has just begun, and his future is destined to be brilliant.

After the game against the Clippers, the Trail Blazers have only one last game left in January, which is a home game against the Dallas Mavericks.

After the post-game press conference, all members of the Trail Blazers returned to Portland without stopping, taking advantage of the two days of rest to adjust themselves.

While Lillard was asleep on the plane, his name started sweeping the league.

45 points in the third quarter, 4 points in the final quarter, and 49 points in the game... became a topic that is destined to be unavoidable tonight.

"Another Jennings? No, his name is Damian Lillard!"

"Sports Illustrated", one of the mainstream media in the United States, highly praised Lillard's outstanding performance in covering the bowl.

The comparison is naturally made with Jennings when he led the Bucks to defeat the Warriors on November 14, 2009.

That night, Jennings made 21 of 34 field goals, including 7 of 8 three-pointers and 6 of 8 free throws. He scored 55 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists.

Since 1963, there have been 6 times in NBA history where a rookie has scored 50 points in a single game...excluding Michael Jordan.

Lillard's 49 points in a single game now ranks seventh among rookies in NBA history.

However, the legendary nature of this game is no worse than the previous 6, or even slightly better.

15 of 25 shots, 9 of 13 three-pointers, 10 of 11 free throws, and a shooting percentage of 60%.

Among them, the true shooting percentage is more than 80%!

The so-called true shooting percentage is often an important reference for measuring the efficiency of a player's shooting into points. Lillard's ultra-high efficiency has attracted the attention of many team scouts and general managers.

If Lillard attracts a lot of attention, the person most affected is most likely Wang Zelin of the same team.

There is no other reason. Lillard was too embarrassed in tonight's game.

Although it is impossible to say that Wang Zelin's dominance of the Rookie of the Year can be reversed in one fell swoop, it is very likely to affect whether Wang Zelin can be unanimously elected as the Rookie of the Year.

It should be noted that being unanimously elected as the Rookie of the Year is also a supreme honor. Previously, there were only three players in NBA history who were unanimously elected as the Rookie of the Year.

In the original history, after Lillard became the fourth player in NBA history to be unanimously elected as the Rookie of the Year, it aroused great attention and expectations. Many people even agreed that Lillard would be the future player.

The league's No. 1 point guard.

But no one expected that a super dunker would emerge from the Bay Area and dominate the players at the same position at the same time.

In addition to winning the Best Team of the Year in the 2017-2018 season, Lillard made a slight comeback. Against his backdrop, he looked like the "NBA version of Zhou Yu!"

…

"The battle for the best rookie is rekindled!"

"Damian Lillard definitely deserves to be in the running for Rookie of the Year!"

"Another light of the same era!"

"..."

"I sat up in shock while dying of illness. The enemy was actually in my team!"

In the morning in Portland, Wang Zelin was eating breakfast and scrolling through the news on his mobile phone.

Looking at the unified news, Wang Zelin suddenly felt that something was wrong.

He always feels that the local American media can't wait to promote a young player who can compete with him for Rookie of the Year.

Just don’t see me like this!

After thinking for a moment, Wang Zelin quickly realized the intention.

The United States is known as the kingdom of basketball and has a monopoly on the sport of basketball. It has been more than half a century since the birth of the NBA, which represents the supreme palace of basketball.

?The NBA's Rookie of the Year award represents an outstanding player among the new generation of players. More than 99% of the winners of this award each year are won by local American players, and only a handful of foreign players win the Rookie of the Year award.

Since the 21st century, there is only one Spaniard.

Now Wang Zelin is very likely to become the second foreign player to win Rookie of the Year.

Although Jews have been vigorously promoting the internationalization of the NBA and thereby expanding the NBA's influence, this does not affect the United States' monopoly on the sport of basketball.

Originally.

Even some clowns have to admit that the Rookie of the Year in 2012 undoubtedly belongs to Wang Zelin, and there is almost no second player in the same class who can be sufficiently competitive for him.

The much-anticipated and anticipated "son of the United States" Anthony Davis's statistics were far behind Wang Zelin's. Just when everyone was despairing, another local American player stepped forward.

?The sixth overall pick in the NBA 2012 draft—Damian Lillard!

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! With a wave of 49 points in a single game, Lillard's scoring average exceeded 18 points. With other data also good, some media began to exaggerate

A situation where two heroes compete for hegemony arises.

Of course, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Lillard is obviously not competitive enough against Wang Zelin and even has a natural disadvantage.

What people fear most is comparison!

What's more, when comparing players on the same team, who is higher or lower in the Trail Blazers' team status can be seen at a glance.

If there are those who are pretending to be confused, that is another matter.

For example, some unscrupulous media, all they need are simple clicks, nothing else matters.

What's more, there are some "racist elements" among them. The thought of what they did could disgust Wang Zelin makes them excited and full of motivation.

After reading the news and having breakfast, Wang Zelin went to the arena to continue training.

What external public opinion is has nothing to do with him!

What he has to do, or the best he can do, is to use his overwhelming strength on the field to eliminate all criticism.

The offensive ability of the "Kidney Fighter" gold card has been absorbed long ago, and the defensive ability has almost been inherited.

Wang Zelin has a hunch that he is likely to unlock the next star card shortly after the All-Star Game.

I glanced at the current fan count: 78.78 million... These days are getting more and more promising.

On the 30th, the Trail Blazers played at home against the Dallas Mavericks, also a Western Conference team.

The Mavericks currently have a record of 21 wins and 22 losses, ranking 10th in the Western Conference.

It's hard for people to imagine that last year's defending champion fell so quickly.

However, looking back at the time of selection and the average data per game this season, everyone seems to have an explanation.

17 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists... Dirk Nowitzki's average data per game dropped to a new low since his rookie season.

After almost half a season now, Dirk Nowitzki's season-high score is only 22 points.

You must know that Dirk Nowitzki's average per game last season was 21.6 points.

German tanks are also old!

This is the unanimous view of the outside world on the boss of the Dallas Mavericks.

Why do you say yes?

The reason is very simple. The Mavericks, Mosaic, and Spurs were both the top three teams in Texas.

The first is the Mosaic team. The Yao-Mai era has long passed and the team leader has long been replaced.

As for the Spurs.

Since the second decade of the 21st century, what most basketball commentators and fans are talking about is "the Spurs are old!"
