In this game, the performance of the Rockets premiere controlled defender Amen Thompson is actually impressive.Amen played 28 minutes and 11 seconds, shot 8 of 8, 1 of 1 out of the three -point line, 5 of 8 free throws.Fully, positive and negative value is +16.Amens performance on the offensive end is actually relatively ordinary. His scoring ability has not been played. His scores are concentrated under the basket. He has no hitting a long -distance shot.Not ideal.As a pioneer guard, his performance on the offensive end is actually unqualified. He should have performed better in terms of scores and series offensives.However, on the defensive end, Amens performance is definitely phenomenon. He showed an incredible personal defense ability. He not only had excellent defense capabilities, but also had strong defense aggression and defensive compression.Defense ability.Not only that, he also performed very well in defense rebound protection.Overall, Amen also made a lot of contributions to the victory of the team through its own defense.
Since the beginning of the season, Amen averaged 24.5 minutes in the first 11 games, with averaged data of 24.5 per game.In minutes, the average daily data was 10.3 points, 6.1 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal 0.7 block, and 1.6 mistakes and 2.5 fouls. The shooting rate was 51.3%, the three -point hit rate was 15.4%, and the free throw rate was 74.4%.Amens performance so far this season is actually not particularly ideal. His performance in mid -range shots is still not ideal, and his performance in passing and organization is also very ordinary.The degree of contribution of his defensive end before and the performance of the second half of last season have declined to a certain extent, and it seems that his weaknesses have indeed no improvement.However, in recent games, Amen has also begun to find his sense of existence on the defensive end. This game is also a good manifestation.
However, the problem is that the performance of Amen as a premier guard on the offensive end in this game is indeed not ideal. The teamHis offensive was seventy -eight under his combing, and he did not show any characteristics of passing and organization. He was still unable to be the role of the first position.The Rockets chosen to Amen naturally hope that he can bear the burden of the first position, but from the current situation, it is also a very difficult thing to reach the expectations of the Rockets.We dont know if the Rockets can accept the fact that Amen may only play the role of a defensive side wing or front line in the future.
