UNHAPPY LILLARD
Portland coach Chauncey Billups said Lillard understandably wasn’t pleased abou
t being scratched from the lineup, but stressed that players, coaches and team d
octors all “have to trust each other,” adding that the club’s medical team kn
ows “a lot more about this than I do, than Dame does.”
Although Lillard told Billups he “felt great,” the Blazers’ medical staff dec
ided it was not wise for Lillard, who scored 26 points in the win over the Horne
ts, to play a third game in four nights. Lillard wanted to play for the first ti
me against McCollum, who was his teammate in Portland for eight years before bei
ng traded to New Orleans last February.
“It’s just a medical decision — coming back from a soft tissue injury is alwa
ys tough,” Billups said. “He’s a little down about it, but it is what it is.
We’ve got to keep our guys safe.”

波特兰总教练Chauncey Billups说，Lillard对于今天上不了场感到不高兴，但强调球员、
教练以及医疗团队都“必须相互信任”。
尽管Lillard告诉Billups说他“感觉很棒”，但拓荒者的医务人员认为，在战胜黄蜂的胜利
中得了26分的Lillard在四个晚上打第三场比赛是不明智的。
今天是第一次Lillard与McCollum有机会交手，McCollum与Lillard当了队友8年，在去年2月
被交易到纽奥良鹈鹕。
Billups说“这只是一个医疗决定，从软组织损伤中复原是很艰难的。他对此有些失望，但
事实就是这样。 我们必须确保我们的人的安全。”
