由于在比赛中抱摔泰勒-希罗，阿门-汤普森被禁赛两场。在如今这个不提倡野性和暴力的联盟里，这显然不是一件光彩的事情。
这样的负面新闻有时会成为年轻球员成长路上的包袱。然而，在禁赛归来后的首场比赛对阵湖人时，阿门用行动打消了大家的担忧。这位二年级生在众多明星球员面前表现出色，砍下23分16篮板，不仅刷新了个人双赛季新高（其中篮板为生涯新高），还洗刷掉了此前禁赛带来的阴影。
他的精彩表现赢得队友们的一致赞赏，就连经验丰富的勒布朗·詹姆斯也对此表示惊叹：“我职业生涯见过很多天赋异禀的人，但这兄弟俩（汤普森兄弟）的运动天赋实在太强大，他们与其他人完全不同。”
面对安东尼·戴维斯，他不仅成功协防，还能从他手中抢到篮板，并迅速推进进攻。队友亚当斯更是给予高度评价：“阿门真的是独一无二，我从未与这样速度快、爆发力极强并且反应灵敏的球员合作过。”值得注意的是，亚当斯曾经和威少、莫兰特以及锡安等巨星做过搭档，因此他的评价相当具有说服力。
虽然有人可能认为这些夸奖言之过早，但实际上阿门确实配得上这一切。他已经成为西部第二火箭的重要成员，而相比仍在底特律争取轮换位置的奥萨尔而言，他的发展更加顺利。在复出的第二场比赛中，阿门再次展现实力，以8投7中的效率贡献20分15篮板5助攻3抢断0失误的数据。当杰伦·格林和申京上半场状态低迷时，是他通过12分10篮板的不俗发挥帮助球队稳住局势，为格林后续爆发奠定基础。
Aamen凭借快速反击滞空暴扣，再次证明自己的能力。本赛季至今尽管只首发7次，但是无法掩盖他各方面积极贡献。例如，在身体对抗情况下，他已摘下56个前场篮板，这一数字排名全联盟锋线第一，比排第二的小波特足足多出14个。而作为“蓝领”的籃霸亞當士，也给出了很高评价：“冲抢前场篮球就像是他的本能，每一次都非常积极，对落点判断准确起跳又快，让我感到十分惊讶。”
Aamen所展示出来的不仅仅体现在抓 rebounds 上，更重要的是其卓越防守能力。一项数据清晰地体现了这一点：截至目前参加30場比賽並每場至少干扰對手投籃八次以上の選手裡, 阿門讓對位選手命中率僅為38.3%，這個數字居聯盟之最.
Bullish on Defense:
The defensive aspect is often seen as simple yet complex; success hinges on the ability to predict and thwart an opponent's next move. For someone with Aamen's physical gifts—height, speed, and strength—defense becomes a built-in advantage.
- - Against speedy opponents, his lateral quickness holds up well.
- - When matched against taller players, he has enough vertical leap to challenge at the rim effectively.
- - His strength allows him to withstand aggressive drives from attacking players (think of that moment when he tackled Hero...).
Aamen averages 1.1 steals and blocks per game without falling into foul trouble due to his proactive defense skills.
Despite being young in age, Aamen shows remarkable intelligence about "how to play correctly." Rockets assistant coach Sullivan mentioned last season that “Amen absorbs various roles and strategies like a sponge.” Unlike many rookies who excel in one or two areas only for praise during their debut seasons,Amen represents Houston’s gold standard - versatile across all positions.
When Dillon Brooks was out sick , Amen filled right into big brother’s role seamlessly . He could also switch over if Jalen Green struggled offensively while taking care of help defense duties whenever Jabari Smith was sidelined too .
His positional flexibility illustrates this point further : Last year saw him spending approximately:
* 22% time playing shooting guard
*46 % small forward
*31 % power forward
This pattern continues through current campaigns :
**16%** SG,
**63%** SF,
***21*** PF ,
And even dipped toes at C spot just once!
Position changes aside , tactical shifts reflect how Amen adapts quickly within team dynamics especially after transitioning between ball handler versus off-ball player . Presently averaging most cuts among teammates totaling fifty-two successful ones demonstrates adaptability level unmatched by peers .
Sullivan noted some plays executed perfectly reflected high basketball IQ ; running hard created openings allowing shots taken efficiently around defenders much akin what Meng Zikai does regularly utilizing mid-range jumpers breaking zones effortlessly!
Even Head Coach Udoka acknowledged progress made adapting alongside Sengun stating,” His athleticism matches skillset understanding influencing contests adequately”. So far connecting passes delivered resulted onto forty-one attempts yielding impressive sixty-three percent accuracy outperforming other scorers such as green,jabari etc..
The fact remains those capable adjusting environments continuously evolving signify strong learning aptitude resembling sponges absorbing water repeatedly!
Hence we witness transformation from draft day labeled ‘non-shooting facilitator’ morphing now full-fledged talent dubbed multi-faceted phenomenon comparable perhaps chasing dreams towards greener pastures ahead exceeding expectations laid forth amidst challenges faced along journey undertaken since inception!
Media outlets liken comparisons drawn parallels referencing Draymond Green although emphasis placed highlighting superior agility exhibited suggesting ceilings stretch beyond horizons imaginable prompting Perkins remark," This kid limits are nowhere near sighted!"
To sum it succinctly put forth — Amare Thompson embodies ambition-driven spirit reminiscent parallel universe version Ben Simmons sans shortcomings inhibiting growth trajectory witnessed previously elsewhere
While imperfections remain evident notably three-point efficiency resides below average twenty-four percentage mark coupled free throws hovering seventy-ish range plus inability smooth control typical Point Guard standards hinder usage primarily dictated reasons behind coaching staff reluctance deploying primary handler position instead opting alternate settings altogether.
Nonetheless unlike prior counterparts chosen paths leading stagnation amidst adversity encountered ultimately rendering them obsolete figures relegated status more than mere foot soldiers lacking engagement outside court realms immersed digital distractions entirely devoid focus whatsoever;
“I’m fighter every minute I step floor giving nothing short best efforts possible contribute positively overall” expressed clarifying self-awareness regarding identity understood henceforth moving forwards...
Renowned statistical databases indicate contributions measured via replacement metrics placing second highest amongst rosters trailing only Sengun himself reinforcing statement indicating simply why buzz surrounding potential elevated nearing peaks rival franchises assessing closely monitoring developments transpiring unfolding rapidly before eyes witnessing unfoldings firsthand recently observed strides achieved thus far paving futures brightening prospects immensely awaiting horizon beckoning ever closer approaching swiftly ! Likewise observers couldn’t resist noting sentiments shared echoed throughout league circles acknowledging emergence star burgeoning brightly skyward illuminating landscapes quite brilliantly indeed…
No wonder questions arise whether keeping under wraps benches feels excessive indulgence indulging luxuries present circumstances prevailing currently given talents displayed undeniably worthy recognition granted deserved accolades forthcoming soon hopefully arriving shortly thereafter!
