Zoysia Green but not growing

I am in austin Texas and pretty new with maintaining zoysia grass. I believe its Zenith or Emerald grass. Its not the really fine bladed type..

I scalped it for the first time since I've had it, 3 years. I cut it down to about an inch and then raked it. Maybe I'm just really impatient but a huge part of my lawn is not growing. It is green but just not growing up. Other portions of my lawn are growing just fine, blades are growing very quickly. The portions that aren't growing really don't have any blades. Its hard to describe. The grass is greening but tiny little blades are growing at all angles of the rooted grass but not really getting any length to them versus the typical growing sections that I have with nice long blades.

Does this make sense to anyone? I'm just wondering if I have a fungus or since I scalped it for the first time that maybe I'm just being impatient and it will take awhile to recover? Any helpe would be appreciated. I can take pictures.

Fungus usually looks like brown spots or brown blades, not delayed growth. Just for grins, though, how are you watering (frequency and duration)?

When were the last two times you fertilized, and what did you use?

How long ago did you scalp it?
