- The Minnesota Timberwolves have been historically good on defense, fueled by their league-best rim protection... but Zion Williamson had other ideas.

Nobody can stop Zion if he actually cares and plays aggressively. He just needs to play the same way every game. Him and Ingram together have enough star power to make New Orleans a serious contender
Players like AD or Giannis can definitely guard Zion pretty effectively. Long, athletic and quick footed players are Zion's nightmare
@@JWil97 that’s why you also need Brandon. Nobody can win on his own
Zion has one good game and they're title contenders😆... I swear this is how Pels fans been talking for past 3 years...
That same game the opposing team was missing it's best player and fouled out their next best player on questionable calls, while their best defensive player was also out half the game in foul trouble for questionable calls... Pels won't get 40 FT's and every call every game.
Health issues and attitude can stop Zion quite effectively.
Zion’s drive & discipline has to be better in order for them to be taken seriously
i love these game analysis videos, they help me improve on the court sm
these game analysis videos help me realize...I have no chance in a game.
Zion is an excellent player and an all time finisher. The annoying thing is that he'd be so much better if he actually took care of his body. All these clips in these vids are of an out of shape Zion. If he's this good now , imagine if he had more speed , cardio etc. I hope he figures it out man
Sad that the conversation about Zion is pessimistic, but I think it's completely justified given his injury history at such a young age and the other red flags (weight, lack of effort). Onus is on him to prove everyone wrong and live up to his potential. Hoping that he does because when he's firing on all cylinders he's awesome to watch in a way that very few basketball players in history are.
Not only does your breakdown explain strategy and talent, it also helps add context as to what should be considered a foul or not. That data is extremely valuable. There are AI visual foul calling and challenging replay models in the works already. How many games that led/lead to championships were or will be won or lost due to bad calls? How valuable are championships? How many millions or billions do bad calls and "no Calls" cost both players and teams? How much would it be worth to the league if every call was properly assessed?
Couldn’t watch the game yesterday but I read that the Pelicans had like 40 free throws in the second half compared to like 11 for Minnesota.
Yep you don't get the non calls like LeBron James got against this team.
@@TC-uj6jclol people can’t keep lebron James out of their mouth
Maybe because Minnesota kat likes to be a modern day big man and shoot rather then being aggressive
@@CashMNeywhat are you talking about he only took three attempts at the three-point line against the Pelicans .
@@CashMNeywatch the games before you comment lmao
really loving these analyses. you also sound a bit like hiccup with is really cool
Bro remembered how to play after that in-season semi final
This game is just to remind everyone that incredibly talented player like zion (furthermore when he wants to prove a point because SAS said on live TV that he "eat the table") can have great night against all time defensive player like gobert it doesn't make gobert a scrub who doesn't deserve a DPOY
Ant is a huge part of our defense and offense is a big reason why we lost last night
I think OG Anunoby should get defensive player of the year. The impact he's had on the Knicks defense cannot be understated.
Zion is the football player that ended up getting a basketball scholarship
Great vid HV, wanted to ask in ur opinion who peaked higher 04 kg or 22 Giannis and why?
As a former Twitter user by the name of @KGsGOAT, my answer should be clear.
All jokes aside, I think KG was a clearly superior defender in just about every category which gives him some separation, and on offense while he wasn’t the self-creating scorer that Giannis is, had all of the complementary skills mastered. The off-ball game, the shooting, the passing, all there, in addition to the fact that he could be a top 5 PPG guy on + efficiency.
He’s an offensive all-star, who was a GOAT-type defender, and could fit in any collection of players, just a master of versatility.
@@HoopVenue lol I agree and have u appealed to have your account restored? I have a set up paragraph I can send that works.
If Zion Williamson stay healthy no want STOP HIM 💪🔥💪
can you do a video on Julius Randle and how he has been playing great since his first 6 games of bad basketball and how he turned his season around?
He remembered he’s the bigger guy in the league
Jaylen Brown breakdown your next video Hoop Venue 😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤
Not to sell your UA-cam Creator career short, but you may have missed your calling. Because, that was as an amazing breakdown as was Zions performance. I mean, although he is obviously talented, your IF/THEN logics are off the charts. (Let me know if you'd like an agent to book your talented works to double to train AI models).
I'm Not Kidding. Because, analytical training data is quickly becoming the next "Gold Rush" or big "Oil Boom".
If you’re serious, shoot me an email! Should be able to find it in the “about” section of my channel
@@HoopVenue I don't see the About section on my phone. But, I'll do it from the desktop
Guess I’ve been spoiled by the Heat last year. Coz everytime I see a big double I expect a partial zone and a pre rotation. GSW, Lakers and Nuggets are all also elite at that. If the Wolves want to be elite in the playoffs they probably need to work on that.
Historic defense meets unstoppable refs
Ticky Tak fouls called on Zion all game yesterday. Gobert was in foul trouble so he couldn't be as aggressive. It's funny how Zion could be aggressive and play bully ball but when the defender gets aggressive on him they will call a foul. Dude is just strong as hell and can only go left or just spin left. Once he loses his athleticism, gonna be another Blake Griffen 2.0
lol this is extremely funny considering Blake griffin wasn’t HALF of the finisher Zion is, or playmaker
@luciid6938 playmaker?? What playmaker? Wait till he loses his athleticism. Dude gonna be junk. No post move. No jumper! I'm speaking facts. You too young to argue with me GenZ..
I Agree, Zion Williamson is a damn Good player. If he improves his midrange game he'd be on another level.
truly a special player. How many years is he going to last in the league?
If he gets in shape he can play 20+ seasons
nah, even in shape i'd be surprised if he plays past 35@@bigbangbasketball
They shot 40 FTs
These vids make me realize how hard it is to play in the nba 😅
I wouldn’t be surprised if by the end of the season they are an elite team. The showed promise beginning of last year
No force on earth can stop the blob!
Hey what’s your new twitter? I want to credit you in a clip but you’re suspended
The Lakers had the best defense I've seen against the Pacers at the Finals of the In Season Tournament or the "NBA Cup"
Their defense was so good
Babe I’m sorry I don’t feel like touching you tonight, you’re starting to resemble Zion Williamson and HoopVenue dropped
Zion ragdolled everyone lol
If this video lacks the context that the officials in this game decided that any contact on a driving defender was a foul then you're missing a huge chunk of context. 40 free throws. By the end of the night the defenders were just traffic cones because Zion and Ingram were initiating contact and getting a reliable whistle
Zion was literally clueless against 39 year old LeBron and then next game, he obliterates historic defense. Basketball is weird sport man!! lol
Flying tank
Crazy that LeBron made Zion look like somebody's dad at a Sunday pickup at the Y
Better offensive player Zion or Giannis and why?
Last year I felt pretty comfortable with Zion, primarily because I do think he's a much more potent shot creator in the half court with his superior burst, handle, and center of gravity. I also think he's better off-ball, which allows him to coexist with other creators. With that said, Giannis' transition game, size and superior playmaking always made it an interesting conversation, and I think Zion's in worse shape now than he was last year, so right now I'd pick Giannis.
Imagine if he actually cared 🥲
Thank you for the reminder of Zion's greatness amongst Stephen A Smith's continued smear campaign
Love the video, why u think they didt leave him alone at the 3 point line like lebron did?
And why not going under the screens that Valuncians was setting for zion?
It’s because he’s probably the best in the NBA when it comes to “attacking space”
You could see that in the example where Gobert drops back in the P&R, his combo of burst and power is most effective when given a few feet of room, and that’s why they try to close it early by picking him up with pressure or chasing him over the top.
The reason it worked with LeBron imo comes down to 2 things -
1. Zion just was not attacking, not nearly as aggressive as in this game
2. LeBron is one of very few players who can match up with him physically, so he can play in a way that others can’t against him
@@HoopVenue thx good answer 🤝
3:19 why didnt zion kick it out for the open 3 here?
Troy Brown expects Zion to pass to Daniels and could have deflected the ball easily. Brown was playing both lanes which gave Zion enough room to spin to his left.
And Pels only lost to minnesota by 1 last time they played without Zion but with Ant
I feel thorn about Zion. On one hand i admire his finishing ability. On the other hand i hate how soft the rules are, on a lot of drives zion clearly initiates the contact and somehow gets free throws. The drive at mcdaniels is the best example, zion just headbutts him out of the way. Again, fantastic finish but it saddens me this is a defensive foul
the refs sure were unstoppable, lol
when zion meets lebron Lol
Looked like it was Lebron who played mind games to shut down Zion. Just don't see why he didn't just take the mid range shot when it was continually given to him if he can be decent at making free throws
“Instead of an all time rim protector, it’s Karl Anthony towns”😂
I’m just saying Zion didn’t do this with Lebron and AD as the defensive anchor. Let’s pump the brakes on Gobert’s fourth award. We need AD to get his first because it’s about his time now!
AD is not as consistent. He has nights when he is historically great. Other nights, he is just chilling.
Gobert on the other hand has been consistent
Advanced stats dont lie. Plus, Zion was unstoppable because the refs couldn't hold their whistle for a minute.
@@xedrickrodpangilinan9792 😂😂😂
@@ayodejifayemi3453but one of them gets run off the court every year and hasnt gotten a ring
@@ayodejifayemi3453AD been better than LeBron since 2019 yet LeBron gets all the awards because he can chill on defense.efer is overrated yet it's AD who makes all the difference
It's hard to win when the other team gets 29 more free throws on ticky tack fouls as well as missing our star player
Ant didn’t play… let’s move on 🤷🏻
I don’t think Zion is unstoppable. He can only go left. And good defense teams like lakers have exposed him. But still love your videos
They expose not having g a jumper but he was still efficient and best player on the floor
Minnesota is leagues above the Lakers this season. Especially on defense.
@@mikekhouri7 they got spanked by the pelicans.. who got embarrassed by the lakers 🤣
its like how jb cant go left
@@xkingxlouiexthey shot 40 fts
Eh i feel this game is a lil fluky cuz ant was out and the refs made it all about them. I will say the pels always give us problems tho
Every Star has bad games. Zion had a bad one on national TV and the whole world overreacts. Lakers shot lights out. There bad 3 point shooter were 50+%. Our best players have played all together like 20 -30 something games. IF we stay healthy bye the end of the season will be a Juggernaut and the narrative will flip on Zion.
ANT DIDNT EVEN PLAY. AND BAD OFFICIATING!! 👎
Idk how they lost after the lakers figured out how to stop em 🤦♂️
Well to be fair, the Timberwolves do not have a LeBron James
@@HoopVenue to be even more fair, 40 free throws and no Ant does not help either.
Zion sold that game 😂
