Zion exploded 40 points and applied for a substitution in the last 3 minutes, and when he left the game, he threw the towel angrily and looked unconvinced

On April 17, it was reported that in the just-concluded NBA playoffs, the Pelicans lost 106-110 to the Lakers at home, and the Lakers will face the defending champion Nuggets in the first round of the playoffs. In this game, Pelicans star Zion performed bravely, scoring 40 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists, but in the last 3 minutes, he suddenly left the court with an injury and threw his towel angrily!

In this game, Pelicans star Zion performed very well, and with Ingram and CJ McCollum in a slump, Zion carried the team alone today.

In the whole game, Zion played 36 minutes, shooting 17 of 27, 0 of 1 three-pointers, 6 of 9 free throws, and scored a game-high 40 points, plus 11 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, with a plus/minus of +3.

At the end of the game, Zion once helped the Pelicans equalize the score on the court, but when there were 3 minutes left in the game, Zion suddenly took the initiative to apply for a substitution and did not play again. It may have suffered a thigh strain.

After the Lakers called a timeout, Zion sat on the sidelines and buried his head, very depressed.

Then, accompanied by the team doctor, Zion got up and walked towards the players' tunnel, where he angrily smashed a white towel to the ground.

Subsequently, Zion disappeared into the tunnel alone, and the Pelicans also took the game after Zion retired with an injury and Ingram was DNP.

After the game, Fox Sports celebrity Skip commented: "The Lakers made brilliant free throws in the final moments. But if it weren't for Zion suffering that still-mysterious injury, I don't believe they would have won. ”

In this regard, netizens said, "There is a gesture to change people before the game, and it is estimated that it is a non-contact strain"

"It's a pity for the fat tiger, may the injury stay away"

"Inexplicable...... I guess more people want to know why than winning or losing."

"What's the situation, I see that you are really good at playing, why did you suddenly go back to the locker room?

"If you watch the game, you see the replay. Replace yourself yourself, it should be twisted"

"The Pelican momentum is very strong, the coach pauses to mention that Fat Tiger, you take it easy, Fat Tiger is not convinced, come back and continue to do it, pause and mention it again, come back and ignore it and then do another one, and then pause and you just don't fight, so I threw the towel and left, how about this plot restoration"

"Even if Zion is injured, forget it, in such a critical game, what's the point of the last three main players, starting off the bench?"

"It's too fake, last minute, three starters are not there"

"In the face of the Lakers, there are only 9 free throws, and the team is behind half of the free throws, can this still be played?"
