On May 27, I watched the playoffs between the Timberwolves and the Thunder today? The Thunder three young masters scored 95 points and defeated the Timberwolves. Alexander scored 40 points and 10 assists. On the other hand, Edwards only scored 16 points. The reason he gave in an interview after the game was that there were not many good opportunities. He believed that he completed the game according to the team's tactical requirements. To be honest, it was time to reach the playoffs. Huazi shouldn't play too reasonably. He should play some planets to drive the team's rhythm.

Huazi has averaged 25.8 points, 7.9 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 1.2 steals in the playoffs. After eliminating the Warriors and the Lakers, many fans and media thought that he would be the next league appearance. As a result, facing the current top-tier stars in the league, everyone has seen that there is still a big gap. Previously, I had stated that I didn’t want to be the future storefront of the league. As long as you continue to fight like this, you will definitely not become the future storefront. Who would the United States want to find the next storefront player?

I think there are not many players to choose from. If Hua Zi and the severely injured Tatum are removed, namely Flag, Cunningham and Banchero have the most chance. If you go further, you will be Mobley, Amen Thompson, etc. These two are still unnatural. Although Mobley won the best defensive player, he has not yet developed a stable killing ability on the offensive end. Amen Thompson's defense is now top in the league, but he also lacks offensive stability.

Amen's growth this season is eye-catching. He averaged 14.1 points, 8.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.3 blocks per game, with a shooting percentage of 55.7% and a three-point shooting percentage of 27.5%. Relying on his outstanding performance, he was successfully selected for the Best Defense. He reached his current height at the age of 22. You should know that there are only 9 players in history who were able to be selected as the first defense in the second year of his career. He was selected as the best first defense player at the age of 22 and under, and ranked 7th in history.

Amen Thompson's performance this season can be said to be completely beyond expectations. It is precisely because of his outstanding performance that Uduka cruelly changed his starting lineup this season, allowing Jabbarri Smith to be the substitute, and allowing Amen to be the starting lineup. It is precisely because of this that the Rockets achieved the second record in the Western Conference. Amen's influence on the defensive end is too outstanding, and he can easily deal with it with one defense and two defense. Many top backcourts have performed well under his strict defense as stars, and even Curry has suffered a defeat.

Amen also relied on their outstanding performance to become a non-sale product for the Rockets. Recently, there have been many rumors about the Rockets' trading. Some US media said that the Rockets are interested in getting Antetokounmpo or Durant. They may use Shin Kyung and Jaylen Green as trading chips, but they will never use Amen as trading chips. Now the Rockets' senior management has reached a consensus that Amen Thompson is a non-sale product.

It took only a short year for Amen to reach the current height, which is indeed surprising. In 23, he entered the league with the No. 4 pick in the first round. In the rookie season, he was just a rookie substitute for the team, and most of the time he was abandoned by Uduka. In the entire rookie season, Amen averaged 9.5 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.6 blocks. As a first round No. 4 pick, his performance in such a game was completely lower than expected.

The main reason why Amen was lower than expected was not his personal ability, but because the Rockets did not give him enough opportunities to make mistakes. However, he was still good at being talented. Even if he was always used as a blue-collar worker, he could still use his talents to help the team. Amen does not have the ability to shoot three-pointers, but Uduka still likes to use him because he can use his defense to defend the opponent to the same level as his own. He is very outstanding in breaking through and killing with the ball.

Amen's original draft template was Ben Simmons, but he would not be able to develop three-pointers for Simmons. Amen dared to shoot three-pointers, but he did not dare to shoot like Simmons. Moreover, Amen's efforts are also commendable. Now his mid-range distance is very outstanding. This is the result of his hard training after the end of the rookie season. It would be terrible if he had the opportunity to become a Simmons with projection ability in the future.

Amen Thompson and his younger brother Olsa Thompson are both very terrifying in their athletic ability. Do you know why? It is reported that his father is from Jamaican, and the athletic ability of the people here is very terrifying. Are you familiar with Bolt? According to Jamaican media reports recently, the Thompson brothers are interested in joining the Jamaican men's basketball team to participate in the national team. You should know that Powell has also expressed his willingness to represent the Jamaican men's basketball team in the FIBA ​​World Cup qualifiers recently.

The Thompson brothers' nationality is the United States. They chose to play for their father's hometown. The Jamaican men's basketball team also earned the help of two young stars. I hope these brothers can reach the heights they expect in the future. Having said that, what do you want to say about Thompson? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
