25-year-old Zion s recent photo was exposed: Exposing his big belly caused heated discussion, fans said the Pelicans are going to be finished again in the new season

On August 12, a recent photo of Pelicans No. 1 pick Zion Williamson was exposed. Recently, he took a photo with his friend while on vacation. Zion, 25, wore sunglasses and showed a big belly during the photo, which caused heated discussion. Fans said that the Pelicans are going to be finished again this season.

Zion's latest body shape has caused heated discussion, some remarks from American fans -

"The NBA needs to set new rules, you need to win the championship to get a maximum salary contract, don't waste your life"

"Zion is too silly with the NBA, and the Pelicans' new season is about to be finished again"

"Zion's belly is bulging like an airship, and looks distorted"

" Zion's public relations team The team should tell him not to go online, it is meaningless to post these things." Last season, Zion strictly controlled his diet and disciplined himself to practice hard, losing 10 kilograms and reducing his weight to 119 kilograms. After losing weight, Zion played more flexible on the court. However, he was reimbursed in advance due to injury last season. He only played 30 games, averaging 24.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.2 steals per game.

Since entering the league, Zion's weight has been controversial, which is also an important reason for his frequent injuries. So far in his six-year career, he has only played 214 games, averaging 31.4 minutes per game and has been able to score 24.7 points, 6.6 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1 steal.

Zion has more than US$120 million in three years left in the contract with the Pelicans, and his annual salary in the 2025-26 season is US$38.57 million; Pelicans new president Dumas hopes that the 25-year-old Zion can shoulder the responsibility of the team leader. What kind of performance can Zion perform in the new season? I can only wait and see.
