Zion is about to return to New Orleans to join the team after finishing his foot rehabilitation in Portland, and zion has now been granted permission to participate in basketball activities, according to Shams.
Finally! Yuanke is finally back! If you don't come back, everyone will forget about him, right?
The injury before the start of the season was initially expected to be only a few weeks out, and it ended up playing for half a season.
The last time Zion played was on May 4 last year, and before I knew it, it was almost a whole year...
This is a question, why would a Pelican star run to Portland to recuperate, and at one point it was rumored that Zion and the Pelicans had a bad relationship, lost contact for a long time, and the superficial relationship looked completely broken?
Are there any particularly skilled doctors in Portland? Especially not smart, we know a few...
Alas, these ill-fated champions!
Of course, Zion's return to the team is one thing, the last game is another thing, after all, it has been almost a whole year without playing, and maybe even the wild ball has not played many games, it will definitely take a while to adjust back to the field mode.
Look at Simmons, usually a bunch of training videos on the Internet, playing wild ball videos are also a bunch, but when you are really ready to play, either you are not mentally prepared, or you have back pain.
And now Zion's readiness to make a comeback doesn't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing for the Pelicans.
After all, the Pelicans have been in good shape recently, winning the Sun Lakers Kings Jazz in a row, having won 4 consecutive games, even if it is a little bit of a run-in to complete the taste, the ranking has finally entered the playoff playoff range.
The Pelicans exchanged for CJ during this trading period, and slowly began to receive results, although the last 3 CJ scores were not as explosive as when they first joined, and the average per game was "also" in the early 20s.
But the Song of Warblers can be regarded as finding the feeling, the last two games a game to play the Kings 19 shots 15 of 33 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, a game to play jazz 16 shots 11 with 29 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, both games are 30+ point difference wins, the balance between the new two guns is groped out by them.
I just don't know if Zion will upset this balance when he returns, and then it will take the Pelicans an unknown amount of time to complete the run-in again.
There is not much time left for the Pelicans, the Pelicans are currently ranked 10th in the West, although the gap with the Trail Blazers, Spurs and Kings behind them is getting bigger and bigger, and there should be no problem in getting a qualifying place.
But the qualifiers and the playoffs are still a little different, after all, if you start according to the current ranking, the pelicans will play the Lakers in the first round of the qualifiers, and the loser will go home directly.
Of course, the Pelicans don't have to emo right away, after all, the Lakers' recent state may be less optimistic than theirs, the Pelicans are winning backgammons, still waiting for their title, the Lakers can always lose, and who can they wait for?
Oh no, the Lakers are also waiting for a winner, and they all have a bright future.
However, the 9th and 10th qualifiers are a sure win, the fault tolerance rate is still too low and too low, Zion back Pelicans how to say that there are three big three pressure, the ceiling is still quite high, BO7 may not be able to play, but BO1, it is not impossible to win.
