The good news is that Zion intends to return at some point in the playoffs;
The bad news is that the Pelicans won't be able to return until they play the first-round series......
From the whistleblower king Shams, the latest first-hand news.
Seriously, it's better to just announce the reimbursement of Zion's season.
Did anyone think the Pelicans could beat the Thunder?
So far, the Pelicans are behind the Thunder by a score of 0-2, losing by a total of 34 points in the two games.
It is worth mentioning that in fact, the Pelicans G2 only lost by two points, but G2 suddenly lost by 32 points.
Looking at it this way, Zion can't break his playoff maiden body this year.
This guy was unexpectedly healthy in the regular season this season, playing a career-high 70 games, but fell in the play-in game against the Lakers.
Or a hamstring strain, an injury that must not be forced to come back with an injury, otherwise it may be broken, which will seriously affect the rest of his career.
Regardless, the change in Zion this season is gratifying, and the superstar has finally become a leader, a true team boss.
As long as it can be maintained next season, and the Pelicans management step up the recruitment, it is entirely possible to make the playoffs again next year.
Good food is not afraid of being late, and it will always come.
In the regular season this season, Zion averaged 31.5 minutes per game, contributing 22.9 points, 5.8 rebounds, 5 assists and 1.1 steals, shooting 57%;
In the play-off game with the Lakers, he almost led the team to win with 40 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists, and he does have epic talent, and it stands to reason that the playoffs with a loose penalty scale will be more conducive to his performance!
See you next season, Zion! Bye-bye, Pelicans!
