The all-star stage is over. Teams should focus on the next season, this season the competition between the east and the west is still fierce, if you want to impact the playoffs, you must build a good team, reasonable arrangement of the lineup. After the All-Star, a player rushed to the US Twitter charts, and this person was the Pelicans star Zion. With 15,000 tweets and discussions about him, the discussion has focused on two things: will Zion leave the Pelicans, and when will Zion get back to health?
Answer question #1 first, will Zion leave the Pelicans. We have to say that the odds of leaving are high, because Zion is similar to James — both have spotlight attributes on them. They are the proud sons of heaven, and they have been widely reported and concerned by the media before they enter the NBA, and such players are destined to appear on the big stage. James signed a big contract with Nike before he entered the NBA, and Zion signed a big contract without entering the NBA. James' high school game will attract the attention of top stars like O'Neal, and Zion's game will be widely reported when He was playing at Duke. It is worth mentioning that Zion and James both wore a white suit when they participated in the draft, which may be the standard of the proud son of heaven.
The Pelicans' New Orleans is a small-ball market that is not competitive in the free market, and the stars are all drafted and cultivated. Zion will certainly have very little exposure here. Imagine if Zion had gone to Los Angeles or New York, his exposure would have been in the ascendancy. And the Pelicans have been in average form these seasons, and they have never made the playoffs since selecting Zion. Zion is also a player hungry for victory, and in order to win he may also leave the Pelicans for a better team.
Let's answer the second question, when will Zion get back to health, which is a question that many fans are concerned about. Zion has been in the NBA for three seasons, playing a total of 85 games, and attendance is indeed a bit low. So far this season, Zion has not played a game due to a foot injury, and there is no clear comeback date, and there is no news of even participating in the confrontation. Since Zion does not have a clear return information sheet, people are full of speculation, and some people say that Zion will be reimbursed for the regular season this season, after all, the season is halfway through, and Zion has no signs of coming back, which is obviously not good news.
Zion may not be able to play this season, but people should focus on Zion's long-term health. If Zion is still like this stop-and-go. Not only will it affect his career, but it will also affect his value. Even though Zion was injured, he was still young, and he still had great commercial value. As long as Zion wants to change teams, maybe the other 29 teams in the NBA will have the intention of getting him. As it stands, Zion is less and less likely to play the NBA in a Pelican jersey, after all, it's a small ball market. Zion didn't have to spend his peak and youth here.
Of course, before thinking about the future, Zion should take care of his body first. He's getting bigger and bigger after he enters the NBA, and his knees shouldn't be made of steel, or it's better to keep a good body. Dear readers, when do you think Zion will return to the NBA?
