隨隊記者：小李曾招募Batum但被拒絕
拓者隨隊記者Jason Quick報導，休賽季的時候里拉德曾招募前隊友Batum
Perhaps part of his change in mood comes from his heightened involvement in
the Blazers’ offseason. He actively recruited players,Nicolas Batum among t
hem, and watched as Batum and others turned down the Blazers, even though Po
rtland offered more money.
在休賽季期間里拉德曾招募Batum 但是儘管拓荒者提供了比快艇更高的報價，Batum仍然
拒絕了。
What gives him hope is something Green mentioned about Golden State’s first
title in 2015. And it was similar to what Billups on Monday brought up abou
t last season’s Phoenix Suns: Nobody expected the Warriors or the Suns in t
hose seasons to vault into title contention.
追夢的一番話讓他深受啟發，他提到了勇士在2015年的第一個總冠軍，這給了他希望。
拓荒者 教練槍西也說了類似的話，他說上賽季沒人認為太陽能闖進總決賽，沒人看好那
賽季的勇士和上賽季的太陽能殺進總決賽。
“I was sitting there, and I was like, it can really be done,” Lillard said
. “That’s how I feel: It can be done.”
Lillard：我坐在那思考很久後覺得這真的是有可能實現的。這就是我最直接的感受，真
的可以做到。
And after he watched small-market Milwaukee win the NBA title, “I was even
more convinced.”
“Sometimes, it happens when it was least expected,” Lillard said. “You ju
st never know.”
公鹿奪冠讓我更加確定了這個想法，小球市場的球隊確實是可以奪冠的。有時候事情在
最意想不到的時候發生，你永遠不知道會是什麼時候。
