Rockets beat the Blazers from 100 to 99 in the first game of summer league today. After the game, Rocket 4 show Amen-Thompson was interviewed by the media.
When asked whether he would feel disappointed if he could not play the next game, because he was expected to compete with an excellent defender (referring to amen-Thompson’s twin brother Osar-Thompson), amen-Thompson said seriously, “I don’t think he is so outstanding. I don’t think he is very good at all.”
When the reporter asked, what about Ivy? Amen-Thompson added, “Oh, Ivy, he’s great.”
— Will Osar be disappointed if he cannot match? “I’m focusing on the regular season now, and I just want to play the regular season well at that time. I didn’t think about these, and we will have a lot of counterpositions.” Amen-Thompson finally said.
Amen-Thompson made 6 of the 13 shots, including 1 out of 1 in 3 points and 3 out of 4 free throws, contributing 16 points, 5 assists, 4 rebounds, 4 blocks and 3 steals comprehensive data. However, due to an ankle injury in a fight at the last moment, he is not expected to play the rest of the summer league.
