left ankle sprained at 90°C, Fat Tiger revealed the first injury of the 22-23 season...
The regular season has not started yet, and it is still a preseason slap test, but this test has a big problem for the Pelicans. Zion accidentally sprained his ankle during an attack, causing left ankle to sprain his ankle 90° , and he was injured and retreated after only 11 minutes of playing;
Zion made 3 of 7 shots in this game, scoring 11 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists. After he was injured, the Pelicans also had high fighting cards, and finally Heat defeated the Pelicans 120-103.
Zion is a supernova that the entire Pelicans and even the entire NBA are paying attention to. His almost bull-like physical talent is really enviable, but he is really not a good match in terms of attendance.
NBA career has missed 141 games in total, of which 61 games have played in the 20-21 season, with an average of 27 points and 7.2 rebounds per game. This is the highlight season of his career so far.
This time, fortunately, it was just twisting its ankle. In addition, Zion has strengthened exercise in the offseason to lose weight, so this sprain is not so serious, which is a blessing in disgrace;
Pelics coach Willie Green also said that Zion should be fine, but for safety reasons, he will be arranged to be on the daily observation list.
Under the gaze of fans all over the world, Zion knew very well what he wanted and should either do it. You should know that the Pelicans provided him with a five-year, $193 million contract renewal contract for him who had been recuperating for a whole year in the offseason. If the rules and regulations stipulated in the contract are met, the contract can reach a maximum of $231 million in five years.
This contract also caused a lot of controversy at the time. After all, with Zion's body shape and his playing style, it is considered a matter of time to lose his martial arts skills. But then again, if you don't renew the contract, others will sign Zion like the son of Magic team Bofu;
is just that compared with Fultz, Zion can be invested with lower risks and greater returns. After all, he has shown his ability. Whether he can lead the team to revive is just a balance between controlling body shape and playing time.
On the cover of the recent Sports Illustrated magazine, Zion became the male lead of the pictorial, with the title: Is the NBA ready to welcome Zion Williamson 2.0?
I believe no one is more looking forward to it than the Pelicans boss, teammates, and coach. This man who once used Ahking as the template entered the league with many topics, and one of them could not be avoided - weight.
At that time, his weight was comparable to that of Boban and Farr. Many people described him as the new era of Bakley .
Perhaps Zion himself had fantasized about ruling the entire league with unique dynamic and static talents, but now he is much more pragmatic and even matures:
"Two years ago, I might have proved myself with a 360-degree dunk, but now I will use a way that I don't use."
After several seasons of controversy, Zion was also very clear that he would give back to the fans with better performance and excellent results. Even though he had only barely enough to make up for a season in recent years, the team still regarded him as the leader of the future.
This time the ankle sprain was an accident and a wake-up call for him. While retaining his style of playing, he must also protect himself and play well for the entire season. This is the first step to prove himself!
Without saying much, I wish you good health and good health and return early ~
