They have adjusted their playing style and achieved results. Can the Rockets new star in the backcourt maintain this state?

In the previous NBA regular season, the Houston Rockets, playing at home, defeated the Brooklyn Nets 137-109. After this game, the Rockets, who ended their two-game losing streak, won their first victory of the new season, with a current record of 1 win and 2 losses; while the Nets, who had suffered a 4-game losing streak, dropped to 0-4, ranking at the bottom of the league.

In this game, the Rockets' starting point guard Amen Thompson finally improved his performance and played a lot more reasonably. Amen played for 25 minutes and 15 seconds, shooting 5 of 10, 0 of 1 from beyond the three-point line, and 2 of 3 free throws. He scored 12 points, 4 rebounds, 8 assists, and 1 steal. He also had 3 fouls, with a plus-minus of +33. Amen still did not hit any mid-to-long-range shots on the offensive end, but his efficiency at the basket was still quite good. He also showed good impact, explosiveness and finishing ability at the basket. Amen also played a certain role in passing the ball and organizing offense. Amen's performance on the defensive end is also quite good. He can also play a very good role on the defensive end. His advantages in athletic ability are also very prominent. Overall, Amen showed his own characteristics on both offense and defense, and he also made a big contribution to the team's victory.

In the NBA regular season last season, Amen was affected by injuries in 82 games and played a total of 69 times, averaging 32.2 minutes per game and 14.1 per game. Points, 8.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.4 steals, 1.3 blocks, 2 turnovers and 2.4 fouls, shooting 55.7% from the field, 27.5% from the three-point range, 68.4% from the free throw line, and a plus-minus of +3.9. In the playoffs, Amen played a total of 7 times, averaging 33 minutes per game. He averaged 15.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.7 steals, and 0.9 blocks per game. He also had 1.7 turnovers and 2.6 fouls. He shot 49.4% from the field, 25% from the three-point range, and 69.4% from the free throw line. Since the start of this season, Amen has averaged 31.3 minutes per game in the first three games, averaging 13.3 points, 4 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 0.7 steals, and 0.3 blocks per game. He also has 2 turnovers and 3.7 fouls. His shooting percentage is 42.9%, three-point shooting percentage is 0%, and free throw percentage is 66.7%.

Amen's performance last season was very good, and everyone saw it. He can indeed play a key role. However, this season, Amen's performance in the previous two games was indeed not ideal, and he was indeed unable to bring out his own characteristics. In this game, after all, the opponent's strength is limited, and Amen seems to have deliberately controlled his own style of play. Such changes have indeed had a good effect. But then we have to continue to observe how Amen will perform when facing more powerful opponents.
