In 2019, Zion was selected by the Pelicans to enter the NBA, and he joined the Pelicans at the same time as the eighth pick center - Jaxon Hayes.
There was no doubt that zion was the first man in the 19th class, while Hayes was the first center of the 19th class (Hayes was the fifth highest pick pick in the draft that year).
That year, the Pelicans also sent Anthony Davis to the Lakers in exchange for chips such as Ingram, Langzo Ball, and Hart.
Young talents are like carp across the river, and people say: After hoarding so many geniuses, the pelicans are going to take off.
The Pelican boss shouted with excitement: Lads, we have only one goal!
The young people's eyes are full of hope, their hearts are gushing with passion, and they have the same thing in mind: the Pelicans championship.
Sadly, from 2019 to 2022, the Pelicans never played the record that people expected them to play.
This offseason, Lonzo Ball left for the Windy City, and the fans had a little regret, but still tried to comfort themselves: It's okay, we still have Zion and Ingram.
Ideals are good, reality is harsh, and injuries have left Zion from playing in a single game this season.
Information about Zion's injuries was rife, one of the more trustworthy ones was that Zion's ankles and knees could not bear the weight of his body, and the young man was forced to give up the season.
Pelican vice president David Griffin said: At present, Zion can only withstand part of the weight-bearing training.
Judging by the Pelicans' current record, There is a good chance that Zion will not play this season.
There's a worse thing for the Pelicans: Zion's teammate Hayes has been charged by police.
Pushing the time back to July, when hayes's home heard the sound of "suspected domestic violence",
The neighbor did not say two words to pick up the phone and call the police: Hey, is it the police station, I want to report my neighbor's domestic violence, right, you can hear it at the door, the voice is boss, the man I have seen, more than two meters high, the old terror, okay, I will not act rashly, I will leave the door to watch, you get out of the police as soon as possible, remember to bring a few more people.
The police arrived at the door of Hayes's house in a police car, and Hayes went out to watch, saying which little cub called the police? Doesn't that hurt me?
The police went up to inquire about the situation and asked to enter Hayes's house, but Hayes bird was not a bird, and threatened: This is my home, why let you in.
Things quickly evolved, from "Why did I let you in" to "What do you see", "Look at you", and then "You don't push me" and "You push me again". As the conflict escalated, Hayes easily subdued a police officer with his impressive height and weight and sensitivity exercised in basketball.
However, the next second, the rest of the police officers entered the scene one after another, and pulled out the hot weapon stun gun, chuachuachua a few times, Hayes was immediately electrocuted, and surprisingly, under the attack of the stun gun, Hayes miraculously held out for nearly two minutes.
From these two minutes, it can be seen that this little brother's physical fitness is terrifying.
In the aftermath, Hayes returned home to wait for news, while the officers were taken to the hospital for treatment.
Six months later, the los Angeles local court formally filed a lawsuit against hayes, and Hayes was charged with 12 counts, including: domestic violence, destruction of property, use of force to attack police, etc. If convicted, Hayes is likely to go to jail.
By then, Zion had been injured, Hayes had been imprisoned, and the Pelicans had returned overnight before liberation.
Pelicans overall champion? I'm afraid I can only be in a dream.
