The Pelicans, who are looked down upon by the whole league, are going to counterattack? Zion loses a lot, Poole is here to have a perfect match, and he has too many talents

On September 24, the Pelicans held a media conference today. As one of the most detested teams in the active league, they held a press conference in advance to win over fans. Although the Pelicans have done a lot of operations this offseason, they are not optimistic. Therefore, when many US media predict their results, the Pelicans are at the bottom of the league. At the Pelicans' press conference today, he gave everyone hope.

The first person to be interviewed was Zion. When asked by reporters about his doubts about him, Zion said: No matter what some people do at a specific moment, when the critical moment comes, we are in their position, we stay outside this circle, there is no place for them here, and there is no need to waste time trying to influence us, I don’t care at all, we just need to stay there. For the role of the new season, it can be what any team needs to look like, and no matter what the team needs me to do, I will have no choice. After

, Zion said: I like Dumas, and he will show his appearance as much as he is. The team's new management really trusts me, which has helped me a lot. Previously, famous reporter Shams said in an interview that Dumas has made public and private statement that Zion will be strictly required for the new season. In fact, from the press conference, we can see that Zion is obviously thinner than before, and his pointed chin is almost coming out.

teammate Murphy also said: Zion is thinner than I have seen in the summer, and his mental state is also very good. Zion's psychology has always been very good, otherwise he would not have been criticized every season, but he was indifferent and still was not self-disciplined enough. No matter how the outside world said, he still did his own thing, but Dumas changed him. After the Pelicans introduced Dumas in the offseason, it caused a lot of doubts, and Dumas proved his ability.

After helping Zion lose weight, another aspect he was questioned was to trade CJ for Poole. After Poole joined the Wizards, his performance was obviously not as good as CJ. So why did they win Poole? One of the main reasons is that they want to learn the Warriors' team building strategy, and for Poole, they also signed Rooney. I believe everyone is familiar with Rooney. He helped the Warriors win championships for many times. He can not only improve the thickness and experience of the lineup, but also serve as the leader of the locker room.

Roney said in an interview: I am still very young and should not be called an uncle. I am only 29 years old. Maybe it was because he had been playing with Ku Zhui Tang, which made Rooney think he was old by fans. In fact, he was a draft in 2015, which was later than Jokic and the Letters. Poole talked about this former teammate in an interview, and said: I haven’t had a good cover for two years, and I am super excited now.

In the Wizards' two years, Poole did not get the corresponding tactics to help him play his value. Even so, he still played very good shooting efficiency, averaged 3.5 three-pointers per game, and a three-point shooting percentage of 38.7%. If Zion and Rooney had picked and roll screens, Poole might have performed better. Poole's biggest advantage over CJ is that he is young. He is now 26 years old and has not really entered his peak period, and there is still room for improvement in the future. This person was considered Curry's successor in the past. After that Poole talked about his experience in the Wizards, he said: It was a cool experience because I learned a lot and these were things I could not have learned in the first four years, and we were excited to put all this knowledge into a team that wanted to win, and the team's locker room was full of passion. The Pelicans locker room is full of motivation now. I went to the team at 7:30 in the morning. Jones said he would go at 7:00, so I said I would come at 6:45, and Jones said he would come at 6:30.

Team basketball operations president Dumas talked about the team in an interview. He said that it doesn't matter how many games the team wins, the key is that you have to give your all. What I expect is that every night is a team that is highly competitive. If we do our best to play every night, we will naturally win more games and be satisfied. He also talked about two rookies. He once warned Quinn to let him run more because his legs are not broken, and Pheles will get a chance to play as long as he works hard.

If this team can maintain health and discipline like a normal team, they are still worth looking forward to. After all, they have too many talents. The team has an epoch-making talent like Zion, as well as those who are close to the talent of stars like Poole and Murphy, as well as the super gate like Jones and the two lottery draws of Philes and Quinn. Their talent may not be worse than the Spurs, but they have been opening high and closing low. Ingram and CJ have left, but they are still full of talent. I hope the Pelicans can achieve the expected record.
