达米安·利拉德和波特兰开拓者将作为22支球队的一员前往奥兰多，这22支球队将在沃尔特迪斯尼世界恢复停摆的2019-20赛季NBA赛季。尽管如此，可以肯定地说，他们很难在西甲获得最后一个季后赛席位。
然而，根据利拉德的说法，开拓者确实有一个“合法的机会”进入季后赛并赢得冠军（通过NBC体育西北频道，体育记者沙姆斯·查拉尼亚报道）。
“我的动机是进入季后赛。首先，我们想争取一个冠军的机会。我想每个人都会带着一些锈迹回来。有些球队会有人选择不参加比赛。有些人会不感兴趣，想去度暑假。“有些人会失去状态…这将是很多因素，让很多球队有机会来这里赢得比赛，”这位开拓者球星说，他是周二NBA 2K21的封面运动员。
“我想这是我动力的一部分，我知道有一个合法的机会…我们有我们的首发大前锋和中卫。我们是一个更健康的团队。这就是动力。”
灰熊将在灰熊3.5后进入第八个赛季。一年多前，波特兰在西部决赛中与当时的卫冕冠军金州勇士队对决。

Damian Lillard sees ‘legit chance’ for Blazers to make the playoffs, win it all in Orlando
原文：
Damian Lillard and the Portland Trail Blazers will head to Orlando as part of the 22 teams that will resume the suspended 2019-20 NBA season at the Walt Disney World. Nonetheless, it’s safe to say that it will be difficult for them to clinch the final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
According to Lillard, however, the Blazers do have a “legit chance” to reach the postseason and win the title (per The Athletic’s Shams Charania, via NBC Sports Northwest).
“My motivation is to get in the playoffs. For one, we want to play for a chance at a championship. I think everybody’s coming back with some rust on ’em. Some teams gonna have guys that choose not to play. Some guys gonna be disinterested, wanting to go about their summer. Some guys gonna be out of shape…It’s gonna be a lot of factors that give a lot of teams a chance to actually come in here and win it,” said the Blazers star, who was revealed as the cover athlete for NBA 2K21 on Tuesday.
“I think that’s part of my motivation, is knowing there is a legit chance… We got our starting power forward and center back. We’re a healthier team. That’s motivation.”
The Blazers will enter the season resumption 3.5 games behind the eighth-seeded Memphis Grizzlies. Over a year ago, Portland was facing off with then-reigning champion Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference Finals.
