On March 9, Beijing time, according to NBA celebrity Bill Simmons broke the news on the podcast program, Zion's weight dropped a lot. "I heard he lost 24 pounds (about 11 kilograms) and they (pelicans) had some nice puzzle pieces. Valanciunas, Ingram and McCollum, Herb-Jones are also good. Bill Simmons, it seems, is optimistic about the Pelicans' future.
Zion's ability to lose 11 kilograms is certainly good news. Previously, Pelican reporter Christian Clark reported that Zion weighed well over 300 pounds (136 kilograms) when he attended training camp last September, and that ideally he would have kept his weight at around 265 pounds (120 kilograms), and now it seems that Zion's weight is changing on a positive side. Some fans posted recent photos with Zion and did lose weight.
So far this season, Zion has not played, and left the team for two months to go to Portland for treatment. Some Pelican fans expressed their dissatisfaction with Zion, and even the floats caused by Zion cartoons drove to the streets, and the cartoon version of Zion looked fat and had his new nickname on his clothes: 1 ton (1 ton)!
Now, Zion has finally returned to New Orleans, and he has lost a lot of weight, which has made everyone regain some confidence in him. When the NBA official website wrote about Zion, it compared him to several high-ranking shows plagued by injuries. The official website pointed out that the difference between Auden and Zion is that Auden has chronic foot problems, which seems to doom his fate and makes doctors feel frustrated. Griffin missed his rookie season with a fractured knee, but he recovered well and was one of the league's best big forwards at his peak, and as for Embiid, he was reimbursed for two seasons with a foot injury but is now an MVP favourite. From that point of view, Zion is still young, and he still has time to prove himself.
The official website also pointed out that none of the champions had previously refused to renew their contracts after the rookie contract. Zion is unlikely to be the first, after all, there is too much money here, and his injuries also need this insurance. It was previously reported that Zion was eligible to sign a five-year, $181 million top salary contract this summer. But the official website also said that the Grizzlies' list of Morant has run ahead of Zion, considering the uncertainties around Zion, the NBA official website commented on Zion, writing: "He has always been a mystery." ”
