Players who can enter the NBA are talented, even the NBA water dispenser administrators can easily blow up many professional players in the world, so there is never a lack of talent in the NBA, a player wants to succeed in talent is only a small part, there are too many factors that need to be combined, coaching, diligence, self-discipline and other factors combined to create a player's greatness. But the most important of these is that there are already too many examples of self-destructive prospects in the self-disciplineD NBA, Michael Beasley, "Rainman" Kemp, "Sharks" Bynum which is not talented, but these players ultimately failed to have a successful career, and now the Pelicans' home star, known as the next LeBron James Zion Williamson may be the next living example.
Zion Williamson before the draft ESPN gave the template is a combination of Barkley and Griffin, Williamson is definitely a genius that has not been met in a hundred years, you have never seen a player with such excellent athletic ability under the weight of Williamson, Zion is 1 meter 98 tall, weighs 128 kilograms, While his bounce in place is 36 inches (91.44 cm), the starting jump is 46 inches (116.84 cm), and the speed of 100 meters is 11.9 seconds, it can be said that Williamson's talent is historical. Even the Pelicans' medical team was stunned at the first sight of Williamson, they had never seen a player of this weight make some guard-like moves on the court, he showed his dunks in a different pattern on the court, and the high school and college Williamson games were a visual feast, and he showed his talent all the time.
And coming to the NBA Williamson also did not disappoint people, the second season of his career successfully entered the All-Star, he only took less than 100 games to conquer all the fans, he used his strength, speed, bounce to turn himself into the most terrible weapon on the offensive end, how many times we saw 3 DPOY Rudy Gobert was knocked by Williamson, Gobert such a top defensive ability of the interior line in front of Williamson is completely not enough to see, especially in the paint williamson is almost invincible, In Williamson we see the scene when inside behemoths like O'Neill and Barkley ruled the game. Williamson is very well-rounded, he is not a player who will only crush opponents on the inside line, he can hold the ball, he can organize, he can do a lot of things on the court, although he is not as experienced as James, but the 21-year-old Williamson is definitely a superstar embryo worth cultivating.
But before Williamson entered the league, people were worried that he would not be injured in the NBA game against the intensity of the increase, it turns out that Williamson does have this aspect of the problem, the first season Williamson only played 24 games, the second season Williamson played 61 games, this attendance rate is indeed not high, and this season Williamson has been recovering because of a foot injury, recently pelicans official said that Williamson underwent medical examinations, The results showed a reversal of his fifth metatarsal recovery, so his training volume and intensity would be cut back for a long time to come to help his bones recover. The most worrying situation arises, Williamson's style of play is ok in high school and college, but the NBA's game rhythm is faster, the confrontation is more intense, and the schedule is more intense, which makes Williamson's legs bear too much extra exercise, and now Williamson has shown signs of glass people.
It is reported that Williamson's weight has now reached 149.6 kilograms, as a height of 2 meters 24 meters compared to the Lone Rangers, the weight is 131 kilograms; the tallest Tak-Farr in the NBA is 2 meters tall and weighs 140 kilograms; compared with the historical players, the heaviest in Dayao that year is 141 kilograms, and O'Neill is 154 kilograms at the heaviest, but these players are more than ten centimeters taller than Williamson! Now you will know how outrageous Williamson is now, such a huge weight, if it is the same as Randolph, Gasol Jr. and other players on the floor flow is also fine, but Williamson is still a player who relies on bursts and bounces to play, even if his physical fitness is good, I am afraid it is impossible to support him to play a full season, let alone the intensity and rhythm of the more perverted playoffs.
Now Williamson's body has appeared warning, the right foot after surgery after the injury appears repeatedly, although the recurrence is a common situation of this injury, the 14-15 season Durant is also because the fifth metatarsal bone appears repeatedly and then the season reimbursement, but Williamson's larger weight is more detrimental to the recovery of the injury, and do not forget that Durant's breakthrough speed after returning from injury is affected, then Williamson's players who rely on outbreaks will appear in such a state. Seeing Williamson now, everyone must think of a tragic leader Greg Auden, Auden because of the knee injury only played 3 seasons in the NBA, only 105 games completely bid farewell to the professional game, we now think of Auden must have been if there was no injury Auden what will be achieved in the NBA? If Williamson had kept going like this...
Williamson has now played a total of 85 games, and the number of games he has missed has long exceeded this number, and this season seems that Williamson is another season of reimbursement, and there is little hope of returning this season, on the one hand, Williamson's injury problem, on the other hand, the Pelicans' bottom record this year is indeed not worth Williamson's risk to fight, this year is still at ease to fight for the title. But Williamson needs to make a change, even if you are talented, you can't play, then you will always live in the assumption, attendance is a player to cash in on the talent of the premise, and now Williamson even this most basic requirement is difficult to meet. If he has been playing like this, then the age of the ball in these years is undoubtedly a huge loss, maybe Williamson's entire career will only be this level, and it may even be because of the injury Williamson completely faded out of the league, injury is an athlete's biggest enemy.
Perhaps Williamson really should learn from James how to be more disciplined, and now the 36-year-old James is still the top player in the league precisely because of James's strict self-discipline over the years, it is said that James spends $5 million a year on maintaining his body, and James has always tried to control his diet, including Nash, Ray Allen, Kobe And other superstars are strictly controlled diet, and the purpose is only to maintain body and athletic ability. It is said that the Pelicans management changed some of the staff in order to protect the players, even changed the team's cooking habits for the Fat Tiger, and talked to Zion about how to protect his body and avoid additional injuries, but now it seems that Zion himself did not take this matter to heart... In short, I hope that Fat Tiger will not become the next "hurt Zhongyong"!
