Damian Lillard
Anferne Simons
Josh Hart
Jeremy Grant
Yusuf Nurkic

Key player for the Portland Trail Blazers

After a forgettable 2022 where injuries and physical problems marked his season, Damian Lillard enters the 2022-2023 season with the goal of returning the Blazers to the position they deserve.

give me He has a lot to prove down the road, not just because he’s the icon of the franchise, but because if he doesn’t, his true impact and legacy would begin to be questioned. Between 2019 and 2021, the point guard was one of the most decisive players in the NBA, someone capable of stringing together magnificent goals night after night, setting up playoff streaks or killing penalties. Clutch. But time takes its toll on everyone and the brake meant by a practically white campaign may have put an end to his individual rise.

On the other hand, it’s necessary to point out that the Blazers Lillard is going to meet bear almost no resemblance to the ones he shared the court with not too long ago. Indeed, his great ally, CJ McCollumwill no longer be on the team and will have to move on with Anfernee Simons and Jerami Grant.

As soon as the 2021-2022 season started and the injuries appeared, his management Blazer he chose to get carried away by the results and focus on rebuilding.

ONE explicit reconstruction who has reinvigorated the Portland squad with the goal of not only being able to compete for more ambitious goals but also improving the defense. Being a better defensive team is the big question for Oregon this season, having been among the worst in that regard in the past.

Gary Payton II and Jerami Grant They should help greatly in this task, as should Josh Hart, who while not a specialist, will greatly improve the overall performance.

Is Portland management right with all these changes or will it be a copy of the past?

NBA: Tension in Atlanta, overtime in Sacramento and confident victory for New York

Six games of the NBA regular season were played on the night of December 21-22.

Atlanta hosted Chicago and lost in a high-scoring game.

The teams focused on offense from the beginning of the match and this continued throughout the game. As a result, Atlanta made 23 three-pointers and Chicago made 20, and both teams had a shooting percentage close to 50. The teams also frequently missed each other at the basket, so the game resembled a constant exchange of points. The leader changed 20 times in the meeting and the fate of the match was decided at the last minute. Prior to that, the Bulls had built a 6-point advantage, but the Hawks nearly made up for it as the opponents took one of every two shots and Young and Johnson each scored three points for the home team. Still, the outcome was 152:150 in favor of Chicago.

The most productive player of the match was Johnson, who fell one assist short of a triple-double with 36 points and 11 rebounds. The Bulls also had a triple-double contender, but Giddy, who had 19 points and 11 assists, was one rebound short.

Sacramento made a great comeback against Houston and won at home.

Having performed better in the first half, the Rockets eventually gained an advantage of 11 points (68:57) and maintained a comfortable distance from the opponent in the third quarter with 9 points (91:82), and at the beginning of the fourth 12 minutes, this difference increased to +14 – 100:86. But after that the Kings made a 12:0 move and practically equalized: 98:100. Houston then had a few-point advantage, but with 15 seconds left in the fourth quarter, Westbrook made a three-pointer and tied the score at 112:112. The match went to overtime and Schroeder’s three-point shot 4 seconds before the siren was decisive – 125:124.

At the end of this match, Schröder recorded a double-double with 27 points and 10 assists. While Westbrook achieved the same success with 21 points and 13 rebounds, Reynaud also played with 12 points and 14 rebounds.

New York confidently won its home game against Miami.

Heat had a successful performance by winning the first quarter with a score of 37:30, but in the second 12 minutes, the Knicks managed to close the gap and take the lead and entered the long break with +4 – 66:62 on the scoreboard. In the second half, New York constantly kept its opponent within two or three attacks and carried the match to a confident victory with 132:125.

Brunson was the best player of the game, scoring 47 points, which significantly helped the Knicks win.
