Three points doubled in a year! Decided to catch up with Curry, Amen showed his ambitions, and the Rockets were about to prepare for the maximum salary

Van Jordan was injured and was reimbursed for the season, but the Rockets still have three big players. Shin Kyung, Amen and Durant. During the makeup photo, Durant pushed Amen to the C position, which also shows that he recognized the Rockets' young star and head coach Uduka, not because Van Jordan joined the Rockets. Especially Amen and Shin Kyung, these are the two cornerstones inside and outside the Rockets. Durant also admitted in the interview that he would renew his contract with the Rockets. He didn't know the time, but he would definitely stay in the team. Maybe it's because the Rockets want to keep Ethan first, Durant is not in a hurry anyway.

For the new season, the Rockets' goals are also quite clear. Uduka said Amen would undertake more organization and ball-holding work, and Shin Kyung and Durant's pick-and-roll tactics will be a big killer, after all, these two people are about the same. When Durant and Shin Kyung pick-and-roll, the opponent did not attack Shin Kyung, and the latter ended in the interior. The opponent contracted and blocked Shin Kyung, and Durant scored points on the outside, which were two cups of poison. Of course, the Rockets also have another hidden danger, which is the space issue where Shin Kyung and Amen are present.

This is also why Van Jordan was injured and Uduka tended to bring Shepard, who was weak in defense, to the starting lineup. When Shin Kyung and Amen were on the court, Durant faced a lot of offensive pressure. The opponent may attack Durant and shrink the inside and empty the two. This is the answer to cracking two cups of poison, which requires Shin Kyung and Amen to make progress in three-pointers. The good news is that Shin Kyung's three-point increase was quite big in the European Championship, especially when he faced Jokic, he successfully extended his life from the outside three-pointers several times. There is also good news for Amen, and he and Shepard come back. Shepard spent all offseason practicing strength and confrontation, while Amen practiced shooting hard. In an interview on Media Day, Amen said he raised his three-pointer to another level during the offseason. And Amen is confident that he uses Curry as the object of comparison. He said that although he was not as good as Curry in terms of range, he could fully cover the rest of the court after hard training, rather than just shooting three points from the bottom corner last season. Amen made 20 of 54 three-pointers on both sides of the bottom corner last season, and the rest of the positions were terrible.

Amen said: "I feel that three-pointers are becoming more and more confident. Now it is not just the bottom corner. I have also trained three-pointers from other positions. Although they are not as long as Curry's shooting range, I have enough confidence to shoot. I think I can reach another level in the new season. I think I am far from reaching the highest level at the moment. I am looking forward to the new season. Durant is my idol, but I didn't expect to be in the same team as him. I watched him play when I was a child, and now it is very dreamy."

Last season's regular season, Amen averaged 14.1 points, 8.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.4 steals, with a shooting percentage of 56%, but the three-pointers increased from 14% in the first year of the rookie to 28%. He averaged 1.3 three-pointers per game, compared to Ben Simmons who dared not make a three-pointer. Amen scored three-pointers in one season than Ben Simmons scored in all career goals. Amen is also able to play tough battles in the playoffs. Compared with the regular season data, he has improved to 15.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.7 steals, 0.9 blocks. Just as Durant analyzed when evaluating Amen, he and James have the same view that Amen's athletic ability is simply a historically strong. Perhaps the Rockets have to prepare a maximum salary for Amen in advance, and he may become a superstar in two years.

Because Amen is tall and has a body size of 6 feet and 8 inches. To be honest, if Amen had three-pointers, he could compete with Wenban Yama for the No. 1 pick in 23 years, and his hardware ability was comparable to James. It was just that there was no three-pointer, and Miller and Henderson beat Amen into the top three. Last season, Amen limited his opponent's shooting percentage per 100 rounds, and Durant was second. The Rockets introduced Durant based on last season, which is equivalent to having 2 top defenders in the league. One Durant can replace Jaylen Green and Dillon, not to mention the Rockets and three new players, Okogi, Electric Fan and Capela.
