Zion Williamson talks chemistry with CJ McCollum, upcoming homestand | Pelicans at Pistons Postgame
Z as you look back at this one they threw a lot of zone defense at you how did you feel the Pelicans handled that what did you like best about your approach tonight uh we executed when we needed to um whenever they went on runs uh we
Countered it with a run right back uh you’ve talked a lot about the growing Chemistry Between You and bi now now in his absence what’s the chemistry like between you and CJ oh me and CJ uh we got we got great chemistry uh especially from last season uh so you know we’re
There uh when I talk about that chemistry it’s uh when all three of us are out there and I think we’re in a great spot with that but me and CJ we’re good what do you think he brings to the squad when he’s in that aggressive mode especially
Offensively scoring and I think that’s just naturally like who he is uh but CJ’s such a great teammate and a great leader that you know when the team ask him when coaches ask him to facilitate he’ll do that but I want to seej like hey man cut that out
Yeah I need you to score um he’s been doing it 11 games left to go do you have any personal goals for yourself or for the team that you want you to want this squad to fine-tune heading into the postseason uh my answer is always going to be the same
Want to win uh the coaches my teammates the organization we all have the same mindset we just want to win how important is home court advantage potentially in the first round for you guys uh if we can get it you know that that’d be great uh it’ be great for the city
And you know great for the team but you know you got to play the cards dealt to you so wherever we land in the standings we going to make the most of it will you say the couple minutes ago that you’ve been stacking days you know stacking
Great days being more available how do you feel you know physically and what your approach has been over the past maybe couple of months when you really wrapped up your play um I feel great uh and I’m I’m having fun um and in terms of stacking my days is just doing
All the little things recovery extra recovery conditioning and extra conditioning um and then when we’re in practice just bringing a high intensity so that my body can be used to that what type of luxury is it to have her one side tray on the other side defensively
Where you guys can just switch on a lot of different things and cover each other up you know what I mean uh it’s great um you haven’t heard oh Herb’s the word just had to check um but n herb I do not that’s natural um herb what he brings to this
Team I don’t think it’ll show up on the stat sheet um the same for murf um even when murf isn’t really having a great shooting night that that doesn’t mean his defense is going to lack um and we just we have this great chemistry as a team where we play for each
Other all right thanks no problem you guys have a great day

Zion my fave!! He makes watching BB so much fun!!!!!
Zion looked good in this game but the big game is next and we’re going to need Z fight thru the reaching hands and score some easy points.
Y'all haven't heard? HERB'S THE WORD LEARN IT LIVE IT LOVE IT
Let’s Go Z. No one talk about the wins just the loses! Talk about us now! No more talk!
Crazy that him and BI are the only ones who remained here since the AD trade, in that year BI came and Z was drafted.
From all the trade rumours about the both of them, it really shows that they're really untradeable, and if we're building a culture here, I think we can add Herb to that now too.
Also crazy is the fact that Naji is the third oldest guy on this team, the only other dude who remains here since Z second season. The season before we draft Herb, Jose and Trey.
Z dominated. Gotta love it
Indeed big Z!
I have something to say , I haven’t been a pelicans for long and well honestly I’ve been one since Zion has went to the Pelicans because I’m such a huge fan. I’m not for New Orleans but I don’t think the world understand how New Orleans is gonna party if they going to the championship. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
