On May 8, Beijing time, Portland Trailblazers challenged Denver Nuggets in the G5 away game of the second round series. The battle of Mount Tianwang cannot be lost, but the Denver Plateau is the devil's home for any team, and it is not easy for the pioneers to play a triumphant song. But Lillard, who was standing on the Denver plateau with his head held high, was not afraid of this. Before the game, he said: "The playoffs are a tug of war to test our spirit and will. We have proved that we can win here. I think our team has not played its best performance yet, and we look forward to it tonight."

With the opening whistle blowing, Nuggets launched a rapid offensive to take the lead, while the pioneers lost their way in the noise of Denver Plateau, and the situation was not good when they fell behind in the opening. Lillard also had to carry the team's offensive flag early and start to break through the low hand basket to stop the decline. Since then, Lillard has opened his fire and shot inside out continuously to increase points to avoid the collapse of the team.

However, it was difficult for Lillard to reverse the situation when he broke through the barrier alone. The Denver Nuggets, which had blossomed in many places, quickly opened a double-digit gap in the second quarter. However, the pioneers could not find a solution, and had to rely on Lillard's firepower output. Lillard did not fail to live up to the expectations of the pioneers. He shouldered the musket to single out the defense line, turned back and made a successful jump shot, ambushed the bottom corner and shot long distance, and with his superb shooting skills, he closed the gap.

However, Nuggets could not let Lillard take whatever he wanted. Nuggets only saw Lillard carry out a wide range of defensive rounds to encircle him, limiting his firepower output. Although Lillard could still create opportunities for his teammates with his own containment, his teammates felt cold and could not reverse the defeat, and Lillard could only watch the gap between the lagging points grow.

Lillard has contributed 18 points and 3 assists at half time, but the trailblazers are 18 points behind. Lillard's personal score accounts for nearly 40% of the team's score, which is not good news for the trailblazers.

After Yi Bian fought again, the Denver Nuggets became more and more brave. The Blazers were still unable to fight back. What made the Blazers even more frustrated was that Lillard felt cool under the defense and blockade of the Denver Nuggets. His continuous outside shots missed the basket. Without the support of his teammates, he could not win even if he had all the talent.

With Lillard's quick attack before the end of the third quarter, his score slowly rose to 22 points, and he only scored 4 points in the third quarter with 2 of 9 shots. On the premise that all the teammates are dead, once Lillard's firepower is interrupted, the Blazers will also lose their vitality. At the end of the quarter, there was a huge gap between the two teams, and Lillard did not return to the battle. He stayed on the bench and licked the bitter defeat alone. The Blazers were slaughtered 98-124 on the Denver Plateau, and Lillard contributed 22 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, becoming the only player in the team who scored 20+points. The Blazers are now cornered. If they want to return to the home court and drag the series into tiebreak seven, Lillard needs more support from his teammates.
