After experiencing the trip to China of two famous football players, Messi and Pogba, today, adidas welcomed the first NBA basketball superstar to visit China - Damian Lillard. Unlike most new generations who are tactful when facing the media, based on past experience, Lillard, who has the style of an old-school player, will often say something that is topical enough in interviews. The final result did not disappoint us. If you want to know how Lillard prefers Paul George and how he views Westbrook, please continue reading below.

Just like previous star activities in China, interaction between athletes, fans and consumers is obviously essential. In this session, a special basket made of milk crates was set up on site. Such details come from Lillard’s childhood basketball stories. “Back then, my grandfather cut off the bottom of a milk crate and nailed it to a telephone pole in the front yard of my house. From then on, I kept thinking about it every day. From then on, my basketball journey officially started.” For this reason, the designer also combined milk crate elements with the shoelace hole structure on the Dame 3 sneakers to create a unique package of Dame 3. system.

At the event, Lillard and the fans conducted a series of shooting interactions using milk crate baskets as props. What is particularly worth mentioning is that Lillard once again demonstrated his paranoia for victory when shooting. After a failed attempt at a long-range shot, Lillard said that he must make the ball before he can proceed with the next step. The final answer is obvious, he succeeded. When a player's competitiveness is so strong in business activities, all success will naturally come naturally. In fact, as early as last summer, Lillard had a similar story when he missed a shot while participating in the European Cup theme event in Beijing.

After the interactive session, Lillard came to the adidas store in Wukesong. The media interview session has begun. Here, we have selected five interesting questions to share with you. From some of Lillard’s answers,
