Lonzo Ball and Zion Williamson are gradually becoming a duo that is both effective and offering the best play in the NBA at the moment.
From a team that went through 13 consecutive losses at the start of the season, the New Orleans Pelicans has now turned into one of the NBA’s most watched teams.
Playing at a high tempo, with a cohesive play style and surrounded by the zeal of Zion Williamson, Pelicans have now won 5 of the last 7 matches to get closer to the Playoffs competition. However, New Orleans is not the type of team to give everything to Zion alone.
Knowing that this rookie competes in the inner round with unbelievable leaps, sometimes there are extremely skilled footwork or throwing 3 phase full of surprises. But what is even more remarkable is the way Williamson moves without the ball, runs and especially combined with Lonzo Ball.
Lonzo Ball and Zion Williamson showed the connection early on. Not starting from recent matches, but from the preseason, where Zion played only a few games before taking a break for more than 2 months because of knee surgery.
Lonzo and Zion’s skill fits together to the smallest details. One person likes to run and move to find the opportunity to finish, the other person loves to move the ball and has excellent observation skills and tactical vision.
Besides, these two players are also extremely good when hit pick-and-roll. Or at times when Williamson made his favorite cutting phase, Lonzo Ball was always observing about launching tectonic lines with high accuracy.
Despite only playing football together for the first season, but Lonzo and Zion were able to interact with their eyes. They do not show too many outside gestures. In an instant, the ball went from Ball’s hand to Williamson and into the basket.
