This morning, I guess many brothers have seen a message called "Zion is injured again".
sounds very eye-catching, right? But in fact, this injury is really nothing.
The most direct evidence is that Zion did not end directly after spraining his ankle, but played for more than three minutes.
For more than three minutes, Zion not only did not have any major problems, but even broke through and made a layup and scored 2+1.
This is a preseason. If you have something to do, just go straight to it. As for holding it?
Therefore, there is no problem with spraining this time.
In the second half, for the sake of protecting Zion's body, the coach replaced Zion on the grounds of ankle soreness. This is normal. I haven't played for a season and it's time to stop.
When mentioning this, Pelicans coach Willie Green seemed insignificant, but just said lightly: "He is fine."
In comparison, Zion's conversation with the reporter seemed more interesting.
Reporter: "How is the ankle?"
Zion: "I'm fine. All precautions are for a longer period of time."
Reporter: "People on the Internet say you can't do it anymore, and you're hurt again. ”
Zion: “I understand There are doctors everywhere on Twitter .” ”
In fact, not only Twitter has this phenomenon, but we are the same. I personally think that netizens cannot blame them for their love to talk about this, but mainly because Zion is not strong enough.
As the talented protagonist, he has only played 85 games in the league for three years. This durability does sound a bit unpredictable. In addition, the rest last season for a whole year, and the whole world is waiting to see Zion's performance.
This time, the 90-degree ankle spraining incident occurred, and the discussion naturally started.
Zion's appearance and scoring situation in the past three seasons
Netizens are right. If you want to fulfill your talent, you must take care of your health first.
But you must not just stare at taking care of yourself. Zion has been in the league for three years. If he is playing with historical stars, then many things should be paid attention to.
The most direct problem is the issue of defensive habits and awareness.
is similar to Westbrook. Stars with outstanding physical talents seem to have this problem. They rely too much on dynamic talent defense.
Just talk about Zion. When his opponent is on the side of the ball, Zion will subconsciously lean towards the ball holder, because he always thinks that he can return to defense in time with his own speed. The result of
is a pass, and the forward line against Zion can achieve easyball.
When the opponent's player plays a pick-and-roll, Zion is easily taken away by the ball holder. Once the opponent passes the ball, another chance to open the space.
There are many similar defensive problems.
Personally think that it is more important to focus on defense than shooting. Otherwise, in a strong attack, it is just a blow-out with the opponent.
Looking at the top forwards in previous years, from James to Antetokounmpo and then to Xiaoka, isn't that defensive player?
If you target them, Zion, it's time to take it seriously.
