Pelicans 117 [lost] 121 Spurs
★Zion Williamson｜22 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, FG 8-11, 3P 4-4
After nearly three months, we finally saw the super big man Zion Williamson take the field; however, his performance in the first appearance of his NBA career was like a portrayal of this season: he was replaced by the head coach after only 4 minutes of the game. He also played less than 5 minutes each in the second and third quarters. Before entering the fourth quarter, his data was 5 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 turnovers, and the Pelicans also trailed the Spurs by double digits.
Just when everyone thought Zion's debut game would end with an imperfect ending, in the fourth quarter he proved to the world in the most dramatic way: We were wrong. Starting from the last 9 minutes, Zion helped the team in a way that he was not the best at, and just like a little basketball movie, he hit all the shots from the outside! In the fourth quarter, he made 6 of 8 shots and scored 17 points in just three minutes; however, after all, this was only his first game, and head coach Gentry made a very wise decision in the last half: Replace.
It is said that when being substituted by the coach, Williamson said to Gentry:
Coach, I can win this game for the team, let me stay on the court!
The Pelicans are still smart. Compared with winning this game, what they won is the entire future!
