On March 21, Beijing time, since the big deal, the Pelicans have been reborn, and they have successfully reached the ninth place in the division from the previous third-to-last in the West, so that the Pelicans still retain the hope of entering the playoffs. The Pelicans will likely compete with the Lakers, Clippers, Nuggets or Timberwolves for a playoff spot next. Before Ingram was injured, the Pelicans were very brave, they won four consecutive games, and after the injury of the list eye, the Pelicans' combat effectiveness declined significantly.
In the past 7 games, they have only achieved a record of 3 wins and 4 losses, of course, compared to the Lakers, the Pelicans may be stronger, after all, Ingram will soon return. However, just when the team reached the critical juncture of the playoffs, the Pelicans "suffered a blow", according to the famous Shams, Zion has almost no possibility of returning this season, and the season is expected to be reimbursed. Shams said Zion's injury is currently on some improvement, that he is already able to do basic shooting training and that his feet can also carry some weight.
However, considering that there are only 11 games left in the regular season, Zion is still far from resuming a 3-on-3, 5-on-5 confrontation, so even if the team enters the playoffs, the probability of his comeback is very small. Zion is the 2019 pick-up, but in his three seasons in the league, he has played only 85 games, including 24 in his rookie season and 61 last season. Healthy Zion's ability is very scary, in the 19-20 season, Zion can average 22.5 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game, shooting 58.3% from the field.
Last season, Zion's stats exploded even more, averaging 27.0 points, 7.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game, shooting 61.1 percent from the field, improving all four major stats, and all of them superstar-level. Zion's physical talent is historical, some people even call him "Little James", Zion's more obvious shortcoming may be shorter in height, in addition, his three-point ability needs to be practiced more. The most fatal flaw in Zion's personality is his lack of self-discipline. In terms of diet, Zion was not as disciplined as James.
Zion was significantly obese after the injury and gained a lot of weight. Now it seems that Morant is much better than he is, and he has become the absolute core of the Grizzlies. Counting this season, Morant will lead the team to the playoffs for two consecutive seasons, and not long ago, he was named an All-Star for the first time as a starter. Morant is the Rookie of the Year of the Year of 2019, and he will also have the opportunity to storm the championship and the best team this season, his honor has left Zion behind, and this summer even has the opportunity to sign a top salary contract with the Grizzlies in advance.
