The Rockets took Thunder lightly in the third game 105-92 of the Summer League today. After the game, the 20th show Whitmore of the rockets was interviewed by the media.
Speaking of “melon” Anthony’s presence to watch the battle, Whitmore said, “I only saw him in the fourth quarter. I usually don’t look at the edge carefully because he wears a hat. Anthony has always been like my family. It’s really great that he can come. I shook hands with him and perhaps sent him a message later.”
When asked whether this was the reason why he chose the No. 7 jersey in the rocket, Whitmore replied, “I used to wear No. 11, that was my real number. Many of the Rockets’s jerseys were retired, and they were retired on the 11th. This is why I chose the 7th.”
When the reporter told Whitmore that he asked Anthony, who said he liked Whitmore’s choice of rocket No. 7 jersey, Whitmore responded: “I mean, this is the only choice. Either the 7th or other numbers, but I prefer the 7th. I know Anthony has played for the Rockets and passed the 7th. I am happy to wear this number of jerseys.”
Whitmore played 33 minutes today, shooting 6 in 14, 1 in 8 in 3, 3 in 6 free throws, 16 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals, positive and negative values +14, but there were six mistakes.
