May 16th News Recently, 76ers player George talked about Lillard's final victory in the "ThePivotPodcast".

George said: "Salute to Lillard, I commented that his final shot was a bad move, and people made fun of me for it. I was angry, but people didn't know that I didn't play for more than a week because I had a shoulder injury. I flew to Los Angeles for injection, I didn't touch the ball in two weeks before that series, and Lillard's goal made me angry, that's his greatness, and I should respect his greatness.

"In my opinion, it was a bad move because there were 10 seconds left, but he just took a step. That moment broke me because people didn’t understand me and they saw me as a dark spot. I respect Lillard, that ball showed his greatness, he still had time left, and that was a bad shot in the basketball world. ”

In the fifth game of the first round of the 2019 playoffs, Lillard scored 50 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, leading the Trail Blazers to defeat the Thunder, and advanced 4-1. In the last moment of the game, Lillard faced George's defense with a long three-pointer and buzzer-beating.
