On April 18, according to American media reports, Zion, the Pelicans' star who was injured in the playoff game with the Lakers, will miss the play-off game against the Kings because of a hamstring injury, and this time it is really injured!
In the first game of the play-offs yesterday, the Pelicans lost 106-110 to the Lakers at home, and in this game, Zion performed extremely well, playing 36 minutes and scoring 40 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 1 block.
But unbelievably, Zion suddenly injured with more than 3 minutes left in the final quarter and subsequently withdrew from the game. And when he left the scene, Zion angrily threw the towel with a disbelievable face.
Although many netizens felt that the timing of Zion's injury was too strange, after all, it was the time when Daigo launched a counterattack and almost overtook the score. On April 18, according to the latest report from ESPN's Woj, several sources revealed that Pelicans star Zion Williamson missed the playoff game against the Kings due to a left hamstring injury and will be re-evaluated in the coming weeks.
At 9:30 a.m. on April 20, the Pelicans will host the Kings. Five times this season against the Kings, the Pelicans have won all of them. In the regular season this season, Zion played 70 games for the Pelicans, averaging 22.9 points, 5.8 rebounds, 5 assists and 1.1 steals per game.
With Zion out and the team's two big brothers, Ingram and CJ McCollum, to take on more responsibility, the Waterfowl are really imminent this time.
In this regard, netizens have said, "What about the sunspots who said that the alliance was warned by phone"
"Are those who say the league is calling to put pressure on the two games that have Zion missed?"
"The shorter the news, the worse the Pelicans become, the Fat Tiger finally had such a high attendance rate in the regular season, and this most critical play-off game was injured again"
"Playing the Lakers consumes too much of the fat tiger, Yingge and McCollum didn't help, it's not as good as Alvardo and Murphy, the whole court relies on the fat tiger to chisel inside one by one, especially in the fourth quarter, it's all about letting the fat tiger play and die of exhaustion"
"The league not only protects the Lakers, but now also protects the Kings???? so why don't they protect the Warriors, why on earth!!!"
"It seems unlucky, but it is inevitable. Infinite impact to finish under the basket. He's not an iron man. Much less physical than the younger James. ”
"The pure hamstrings are injured by overloading, and there is no collision of external forces at all. If this kind of injury continues to fight, it is not too much to retire directly."
