The Pelicans fought the Suns in the playoffs, while Zion didn't play this season because of a foot injury. However, he has recovered from his injuries to almost the same extent. During pre-game training, Zion participated in shooting training and performed a very wonderful crotch change big windmill dunk. Such a situation is inevitably expected, and next season the Pelicans will form a big three combination of Zion, Ingram and McCollum, which will become terrible.
Zion averaged 27.0 points, 7.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists last season and was named to the All-Star Team. But he suffered a foot injury and didn't play this season. The Pelicans made it through the playoffs without Zion.
Ingram has also been tempered to become better, and the team has introduced experienced McCollum in the middle of the season, and the lineup configuration has become more perfect.
Ingram and McCollum in the playoffs showed good fighting power, and next season Zion returns, the Pelicans will become a superpower to be reckoned with in the West. Another team in the West has built a Big Three lineup.
Let's take a look at the wonderful performance in The Zion Warm-up. Zion dribbled the ball to the basket, jumped up, completed the crotch change, and dunked the ball into the basket, which looked so easy. Zion weighs 284 pounds, which translates to about 258 pounds. He is worthy of being a fat tiger, with such a large weight, he still has super bouncing ability.
It is worth mentioning that when Zion dunked, The Lakers veteran and current pelican assistant coach Corey Brewer watched from the sidelines, and his expression was a little strange.
Zion also performed a folding lever layup. He dribbled through a one-man defense, and with someone blocking him under the basket, he jumped up in the air and folded the lever in the air to score a layup, a ball that showed Zion's excellent waist and abdomen strength, as well as a soft feel.
Zion needs to work hard, and Ingram proved his ability by showing bravery in the playoffs. Who will be the real leader next season? Zion's vulnerability to injury lays hidden dangers, and if the Pelicans stay healthy next season, the prospects will be bright.
