Not just this season, either. For months Lillard watched pundits discuss his
onerous contract, the $216 million he’s owed over the next four seasons, the
$63 million he is scheduled to make in the last one. The narrative was that he
won’t be worth it, that, in his late 30s, Lillard will be in decline.
Perhaps. But as he exited Crypto.com Arena on Sunday, Lillard dismissed any
suggestions that he is injury prone. And he had a message for those who don’t
think his game will age well.
不仅是这个赛季，几个月来，小李一直看着球评们讨论著他的钜额合约，
他在接下来四个赛季中将获得2.16亿镁，以及在最后一个赛季中将会入袋的6300万镁。
常见的陈述是他不值得这笔钱，
认为在30几岁的某个时间点，他或许将会衰退。
但当他在星期天离开Crypto.com Arena时，小李否定了他容易受伤的说法。
并且对那些认为他的比赛会随着年岁增长而衰退的人发出了声明：
“I don't know why they would think that,” Lillard told me. “I don’t live a
hard life. I’ve shown no signs of slowing down. I saw people saying, Oh, he
gets hurt. I wasn't hurt last year. I was hurt the year before that. I chose
to have surgery. I don’t have an injury history. There’s a lot of people who
have been hurt a bunch of times. I’ve been healthy my whole career. So when
I see that stuff, it’s almost like they’re giving me an opportunity to show
that they’re wrong. I'm going to be 38, moving the same way I move right now.
I promise you. And shooting, that doesn’t go away.”
"我不知道他们为什么会有这种想法，"
"我打起球来毫无罣碍。我一直没有任何变慢的迹象。
我看到人们说：喔，小李又伤了。去年我并未受伤。前年我的确受伤，我选择接受手术。
我并没有多样的伤病史。有许多球员是多次受伤，但我整个职业生涯都相当健康。
所以当我看到这些说法时，就像是他们给了我一个机会，来证明他们看错人了。
我即使到了38岁，也能够以现在的方式在场上移动。我能跟你保证。
而我的投篮，是不会消失的。"
不好说...号称喝机油的生化人都会变慢了
