In the Houston Rockets against the Washington Wizards, because the Rockets defender Van Ferry was particularly injured, Amen Thompson replaced Vanverts starting guard position.However, although Amen showed a comprehensive skill in the game, he handed over a bright data list -13 points, 8 rebounds, 4 steals and 4 blocks, but in his core responsibilities as a guardian,——Is assisted, but seemed to be powerless, only once assists in the audience.Such a performance is unqualified. After all, Amen is the starting point guard of the Rockets. The 1 assistant is really a bit over.
Looking back on the entire game, Amens performance is undoubtedly full of contradictions and highlights.On the defensive end, he is like a mobile barrier, whether it is the personal stolen of the opponents guardian control, or the cover of the basket under the basket, showing the mature and calmness beyond age.Four steals and 4 blocks, such defensive data is a luxury for a guard.His defensive coverage and accuracy of prediction make people cant help but lament the outstanding defensive talent.
At the offensive end, Amen also shows a good scoring ability. Whether it is the layup after the breakthrough, or the cold arrow on the outside, it can create a lot of trouble for the opponent.EssenceAlthough the score of 13 points is not particularly dazzling, it is satisfactory enough in the guard position.
However, it is the bleak of this assistant data that made Amens match performance with a shadow.As a guard, to connect the team and activate teammates, it is its most important responsibility.But in this game, Amen seemed to have lost his direction in this regard.His passing choice became hesitant, and his vision seemed to be confined to his score and defense.There is only one assistant in the audience. Such data is obviously unqualified for a starting guard.
In fact, Amens role positioning in the Rockets this season has quietly changed.Due to the changes in the tactical adjustment of the team and the staff configuration, Amen was arranged more in the position of the small striker or even the large forward.In this position, Amen showed a completely different style from the guards.The advantage of his height of his height has been fully exerted. Whether it is the defense under the basket, or the shot of the mid -to -long distance, it seems easy.The golden combination of the front line with Ethan has become a highlight of the Rockets.The tacit cooperation between the two at both ends of the offense and defense has greatly improved the Rockets front strength.
However, the change of the positioning of this role also affects the performance of Amen in the position of the guardian control position to a certain extent.The long -term as the striker has gradually lost his aura and feeling in the position of the guardian control position.Last season, Amen could also frequently comes out of good balls in No. 1 to help teammates score easily.But now, the series of attacks and organization teams seem to have become a shortcoming of him.The passing ability and vision shown by Amen in the game have a significant decline compared to last season.This not only confused him, but also worried the Rockets coach and fans.
Although the temporary Amens guards control skills are already very rusty, he still has certain potential. If he continues to develop the passing ability,Amen Thompsons skills will be more comprehensive, but now the main task of Amen is to play on the front line, and No. 1 is no longer his main position.
