Being in Playoffs team, both Damian Lillard and Portland Trail Blazers all hope that the season in this year 2020 can come back soon. However, according to the sharing of them, they only want to take part in a particular match if they have a chance to compete with other teams.
From the first beginning on March 11th whe NBA decided to inform that the 2019-20 season will be postponed due to the rapid spread of Covid 19, the representatives of this tournament also promised to hold this competition as soon as possible.At this time, the leadership of NBA are discussing with Disney World about the best way to hold the season when Coronavirus is under control. They also create a poll for 30 basketball team to vote for the most suitable one for them when they take part in the upcoming season ( At the end of July). Some fitness centres are allowed to opened for players so that they can easily train for the next competition.
Although there is not any official information about this match but some players show their negative attitudes, one of these are from Damian Lillard. NBA is considering whether they should eliminate Regular Season or not and allow some popular team to participate in Playoffs, the superstar of Portland Trail Blazers disagreed with this idea. “ If we come back after Coronavirus and just join in the competition in ordẻ to have enough Regular Season, we treat it as an unmeaningful match and we don’t have chance to take part in Playoffs this year” – Lillard shared his feeling to Yahoo Sports. “ Because I am a member of my basketball team, so I still go with the team to the competition and encourage my colleagues to try their best. I confirmed that all things I ‘ve said are true.”
Up to now, Portland Trail Blazers are on top 8 in the western lists. They played totally 66 Regular Season matches, but with the 4 rest matches, they will have little possibility to be joined in the Playoffs. However, Damian Lillard wants to build up another plan to make sure that all of two areas will be awarded 2 tickets to go on the Postseason. “ If they have an extra match among teams from seventh to twelfth ranking, they have to try their best to be given the ticket for Playoffs. I think this is also an interesting idea that some people should think over.” In the next time when this pandemic is over, my team will have two potential players Nurkic and Collins who are expected to bring back championship for the national basketball team after a long time of heavy injuries. That’s why we are looking forward to making our remarkable performance in the forthcoming event.
Getting along together will be very dangerous for both players as well as coaches because it can help the virus to spread faster. Besides, many basketball teams feel that they are not ready to come back and have no mood for the event and They just take part in some amatuer tournaments. Although Damian Lillard declared when he didn’t think carefully, his thinking seem to be reasonable in current time.
