The three-point shooting percentage is over 40%! The Rockets 32-year-old new player shooter called out to Amen: Let go and shoot three-pointers

Rockets coach Uduka is willing to let Amen Thompson replace Van Vreet as the new starting point guard, but unfortunately, although Amen Thompson is tall and strong, able to break through and attack the basket, the problem is that he is not very good at shooting at the No. 1 position. Whether it is mid-range shooting or three-pointers on the outside, it is not his specialty.

In the paint area, Amen Thompson is a very powerful attacking player. Many of his scores are dunked at the basket, but it is time to shoot three-pointers, so Amen Thompson is not ranked among the Rockets at all. Because his three-point shooting percentage was only 27% last season, his three-point shooting percentage was less than 20% in the rookie season.

So, Amen Thompson's three-point shooting improvements are indeed, but it is not big enough that he is not competent for the starting point guard of the Rockets. Otherwise, after they got the ball, the opponent set up an iron barrel formation to shrink the basket defense, and Amen Thompson could not make any shots; even if he was given the opportunity to take an open position, I believe Amen Thompson's three-point shooting percentage would not be high. However, the Rockets can only be put on the shelves. Due to Van Vreet's accidental injury, the season's reimbursement has been made, which makes Amen Thompson the most suitable player for the Rockets to serve as starting point guard. In his rookie season, Amen Thompson was Van Vreet's main substitute. His performance at No. 1 has recovered, but his most suitable position is naturally the power forward and small forward. He is not a competent passer and shooter. The Rockets need more space now. Amen Thompson plays. Although he can pass some good goals and can also drive the ball to break through. He is a top NBA player on the defensive end. However, he has no space attributes and cannot shoot three-pointers. This is Amen Thompson's biggest problem.

As many celebrities say, once Amen Thompson practices a three-point shooting, coupled with his strong physical fitness, top-notch speed, top explosive ability and vertical jump ability, as well as his breakthrough ability, coupled with his unsolvable defense, Amen Thompson will inevitably be a top 10 superstar in the NBA. Amen Thompson, 22, is the future core of the Rockets. His tactical status next season will not be inferior to those of the two superstars, Durant and Shin Kyung. It would be better if he could make three-pointers.

Amen Thompson has been practicing three-point shooting this summer. In training, it seems that his shooting performance is not bad, but his actual combat and training are completely different. Some players can shoot 80% or more in training, such as Shepard, who made 10 of 10 three-pointers in training recently. However, in actual combat, his three-point shooting percentage is only over 30%.

Fortunately, the Rockets trust Amen Thompson very much, and the Rockets teammates also believe that Amen Thompson's three-point level has improved. For example, the 32-year-old Rockets new player Dorian Finney Smith directly named Amen Thompson during the team's media day event. He said that he had also experienced the problem of low three-point shooting percentage.

Fenney Smith's advice to Amen Thompson was "Don't worry about what others say, just shoot confidently and shoot." He had already told Amen Thompson his point of view. You know, Finney Smith is a pure shooter. Last season with the Lakers, his three-point shooting percentage is as high as 41%. He is also one of the best shooters on the Rockets' forward line now. With him and Durant in there, the Rockets will definitely have no problem with shooting three-pointers from outside next season.

If you have such three-point shooting guidance and encouragement, I believe that 22-year-old Amen Thompson will definitely have the opportunity to increase his three-point shooting percentage next season to more than 30%. As long as you take action with confidence and don’t worry about the voices of the outside world, Amen Thompson will inevitably improve his three-point shooting percentage and eventually become a sharpshooter.
