The child of the city of tearing, is home

I have not been sleeping very peacefully these days and I always have to get up several times at night. I woke up at three or four o'clock last night and saw a message browsing my phone. Where is Lillard going? I thought to myself, haven't decided yet. When I woke up in the morning and saw the news, I opened the message and typed two words: Go home.

3 years 42 million, Lillard's ultimate choice is to go home. To be honest, this choice was a bit unexpected. Although in the farewell letter to leave Portland, Lillard said that he was going to retire here, but Lillard seemed not to be old enough to retire, not to mention that he went out just to compete for the championship, and it seemed more reasonable to join a championship team.

But everyone underestimated the impact of the family on Lillard. He left the Trail Blazers in September 23, but he has been in Portland at home, and he has been running between Milwaukee and Portland for two seasons. Despite this, Lillard has always been missing for family care.

After Lillard's Achilles tendon torn, he asked the Bucks to stay in Portland for recovery. There were actually different voices within the Bucks' management. After they decided to sack Lillard, Lillard was not at all depressed, but was ecstatic. He had many choices without losing a penny. In the end, his choice was to end his wandering and go home early.

The Trail Blazers gave their greatest sincerity. With the reimbursement of the first season, they issued a three-year contract of 42 million yuan. The last year of the contract is the player option + trade veto. The attitude of the pioneers is that you can retire here as long as you want.

Lillard and Trail Blazers General Manager Cronin also held a Century settlement, and Cronin went to Lillard's home in Portland for negotiations a few weeks ago. Thinking about Lillard's departure, the two sides had a very unhappy quarrel, but two years were enough to dissolve the grudges. There was no deliberate preparation. Both sides sat together, and the previous unhappiness disappeared.

Leaving in September 23, returning in July 25, 22 months are not long or short, and Portland fans still have love and respect for Lillard. Lillard joins other teams, and fans there will definitely be happy, but this happiness will fade with time, and even when combat power is urgently needed, they may complain about why Lillard cannot play.

But for Portland fans, they can give Lillard the greatest degree of tolerance. Lillard's name appears on the roster and Lillard's figure appears at home means everything. Lillard can recover from his injuries with peace of mind without any external pressure.

I can already imagine how huge applause the home fans will give Lillard in the opening game of the Trail Blazers next season. It seems that Lillard's name should be associated with the Trail Blazers and Portland.

For Yang Hansen, I was thinking some time ago that Yao Ming's career started with Brother Frances, and the most powerful Trail Blazer is Holiday, which is almost interesting. Now that Lillard is back, the Lillard + Holiday configuration is luxurious enough.

Playing with players like Lillard, even if you are influenced by them in your daily life, will definitely be beneficial to Yang Hansen's career. Judging from Lillard's previous relationship with young players on the team, he will become a good locker room big brother.

I still remember the last paragraph of the handwritten letter written by Lillard when he left Portland: "I believe that one day, I will wear the Trail Blazers jersey again. I hope that by then, you hearts that have been hurt by me can forgive me."

The fans here have indeed been hurt by him, but time is the best medicine. As long as Lillard appears here again, he will still be the darling of the whole city. This is not a prodigal son looking back, this is a child who has left his hometown failing to pursue his dreams and returning to the warmest harbor.

Lillard is like a leaf, he sprouts here, grows here, flies away to the distance with the wind, and returns to his original place with the wind. At the end of the story, the child of the city torn off, went home.
