由于在比赛中抱摔泰勒-希罗,阿门·汤普森遭遇了两场禁赛,这在如今不提倡野性和暴力的联盟中显然并不是一件光彩的事情。虽然这样的负面新闻可能成为年轻球员成长道路上的包袱,但复出后的阿门用实际行动消除了外界对他的担忧。在与湖人的回归首秀中,这位二年级生面对众多明星球员交出了23分16篮板的双赛季新高(同时也是个人职业生涯的新高),成功洗刷了之前禁赛带来的阴影。
他的表现不仅赢得队友们的一致赞赏,更让见多识广的勒布朗·詹姆斯也为之折服。“我在职业生涯里见过很多天赋异禀的人,但这两兄弟(汤普森兄弟)的运动天赋实在是太强大,他们与我们其他人截然不同。”
阿门积极协防安东尼·戴维斯,并迅速抢下篮板后推进进攻,在詹姆斯面前完成扣篮。他的队友亚当斯对此给予了更高评价:“阿门真的是独一无二,我从未与如此优秀的球员合作过。他速度快得惊人,爆发力和二次弹跳都极其迅猛,这是我从未见过的能力。”值得注意的是,亚当斯曾经跟威少、莫兰特以及锡安等顶尖选手共事,因此他的话语相当有份量。
或许有人会觉得这是夸奖,但是实际上,阿门完全配得上这些赞誉。目前,他已是西部第二名火箭的重要成员,而相比于仍需争取轮换位置而努力奋斗的小奥萨尔来说,他的发展势头更加明显。在复出的第二场比赛中,阿门再次展现实力,以8投7中的成绩砍下20分15篮板5助攻3抢断且没有失误的数据。在杰伦·格林和申京状态不佳时,是他凭借12分10篮板的不俗发挥帮助球队稳住局势,为格林之后第三节崛起铺平道路。
尽管本赛季至今只有7次首发机会,但这丝毫不能掩盖他对球队各个方面所做出的贡献。例如,在身体对抗情况下,他已经抢到了56个前场篮板,高居全联盟锋线球员之榜第一,比排名第二的小波特还要领先14个。连以抓捕篮球著称的大师亚当斯也表示:“冲击前场篮板似乎成了他的本能,每一次都是那么积极,对落点判断准确,而且起跳非常迅速,让人感到震撼。”
然而,仅仅依靠优越身体素质进行拼搏是不够的;其实,对于火箭而言,他最具价值的一环正是在防守端。一项数据能够充分体现这一点:截至目前,本赛季出战30场,每场干扰至少8次投射者命中的玩家里, 阿盟将对应敌手命中特率压制至38.3%,这个数字令所有同类竞争者望尘莫及。
好的防守说简单也简单,说难则难,只需要不断预判并阻止攻击方下一步动作,你就可以成为一个优秀 defender。而对于那些比一般人大、更快速、力量大的“怪物”来讲,自身条件使他们享受着天然优势。正因如此,当面对敏捷运转型打法或者体形庞大的进攻者时,无论怎样变化应付自如,同时保持稳定表现,不轻易陷入犯规困境——事实上,到目前为止,与后卫及锋线碰撞总计才吃掉20张罚单,其平均每役不到1宗。这就是基于自身巨大战斗潜能,使他游刃有余地把控竞技舞台!
Amen 的确展现了一种“一招鲜”的现实表达,不过该小伙子绝非只是一味蛮干,相反,对于如何正确打好篮球,有着超龄智慧认知。据休士顿教练沙利文透露,“Amen 就像块海绵,总愿意吸收各种角色任务及技法”。通常刚踏入联盟青年人才,多数时候掌握一两个技能便可获评表扬。然而,Amen 却被视作休城金砖—哪里需求往哪搬动。从替补控卫身份开始,却发现自己几乎横跨多个位置展开挑战…… 例如狄龙-布鲁克缺席期间,可以顺畅接任老大哥职责。当杰伦低迷时期,又可客串2号位轰炸框架。此外贾巴里的伤病亦意味着Aman必须承担保护内线重责;再加上若申京缺阵,小阵容五号位又恰巧成乌度卡备胎选择之一!
Amen 在过去22%的时间扮演2号位角色,46% 小前锋,以及31% 大前锋。本年度延续此趋势,其中16% 时间处于得分后卫;63 % 执行小前三角功能 ;21 % 担任4号职务,还有微不足道1%的占比作为中心。因此说职位流变只是其中因素,再看另一层面,即战术定位随环境改变 — 比较此前OTE 联盟组织先锋风靡,如今伴随着杰伦、范弗利特以及申京搭档影响,可供使用空间自然受到限制。所以,从持球切换至无持,也是Aman适应过程关键所在,而结果证明情况良好: 本期统计显示,一共52次跑动穿插切入记录,也创下内部最高纪录!
This play perfectly illustrates Amen's tactical understanding through a run that tears apart the defense - similar to how Meng Zikai often executes mid-range jumpers against zone defenses.
“Before he had never played without the ball like this but now regardless of whether facing zone or man-to-man defense, he finds routes for middle penetration and adjusts with one dribble before attacking,” Sullivan noted. Similarly head coach Udoka also highly commended Amen’s learning outcome in these aspects: "His athleticism is evident along with his physique which allows him to understand how to influence games off-ball effectively while playing alongside Sengun.” Up until now Ameen has shot 41 times after receiving passes from Sengun at two-point range boasting an impressive success rate of 63.4%, significantly higher than efficiency figures posted by Jalen Green , Jabari Smith & Brooks! If someone can adapt across different environments whilst steadily improving it indicates strong cognitive abilities akin sponge-like qualities where absorbent processes repeat over time leading towards some integral knowledge coalescing into their being—a journey reflecting why Aman evolved from ‘non-shooting point forward’ during drafts into becoming today’s versatile talent monster seen on court. Some media outlets have compared him favorably as Houston Rockets' version Draymond Green yet given superior physical attributes possibly hint toward even loftier personal achievements ahead—commentators such Perkins boldly state : 'Where does this young man's ceiling lie? It feels boundless!' In my perspective Amén Thompson could very well resemble Ben Simmons thriving within parallel timelines filled ambition coupled self-driven aspirations despite imperfection—for instance currently struggling shooting just around lowly rates for three-pointers (24%) free throws(67%), plus handling skills not quite meeting expectations hence coaching staff keeping tight rein forbidding primary duties. However key distinction surfaces here unlike Simmons who squandered talents morphing merely advanced infantry instead rendering himself virtually unproductive outside hardwoods engaging rather digital realms online gaming culture... As per own words expressed firmly stating:"I’m a fighter striving always deliver best performance upon entering floor!" Such mindset reflects dedication earning respect throughout team dynamics culminating notable stats placing second overall behind only Sengun regarding replacement value metrics evaluated BBR platform . Thus no wonder analysts marvelously exclaim,"Amén stands nearing threshold emerging top player amidst whole franchise!” Hence truly begs question—is there any luxury left allowing sit idle reserves when possessing gem unfolding right under noses?> 欢迎大家关注我们的微信公众号“后厂村体工队”,获取更多关于NBA和CBA相关的信息与评论内容>> (文/brad)
