Recently, Trail Blazers new player Lillard was interviewed and talked about his new teammate Holiday.

Lillard: "I remember when he left New Orleans, I talked to him about asking him to come to the Blazers. That was a serious discussion, and we all tried hard to make it happen. So I always admire Holiday and I always wanted to play with him. I think we will cooperate well."

Reporter: "It's not surprising that you would be interested in joining Holiday after that round of series with the Pelicans, because my god, I still feel deeply about that series."

Lillard: "Yes, that's OK It was one of the most heartbreaking moments of my career. You know, during that time, I had been selected as the All-Star several times, and in fact, I seemed to be selected as the All-Series team that year. But that was a turning point in my career. At that point, you would face the choice: should you go further and make a new leap, or just stay where you are? I made up my mind and did everything I needed to do, and I did make new progress in the second year. However, that series and that moment undoubtedly played a very important role in my later growth. "
