On July 8, Beijing time, NBA Summer League, the Rockets beat the Trailblazers 100-99. In this game, the core of the Blazers, Scott Henderson, retired from injury in the third quarter, and the Blazers' offensive fluency began to decline, and Smith Jr. made consecutive foul free throws after the Rockets chased the points wildly, and killed the Blazers in 0.6 seconds.
The Rockets' starting lineup for this game: Amen, Whitmore, Ethan, Smith, Khufu, the average height of these five is 2.064 meters. Amen 2.01 meters, White Devil 2.01 meters, Ethan 2.03 meters, Smith 2.11 meters, Khufu 2.16 meters, the biggest problem with this set of starters is space (three-point ability is too poor).
Several core of the Rockets were present to watch the performance of the little brother, Shen Jing, Porter, Jaylen Green, Tate all went, but unfortunately Cam Whitmore, who was pinned on high hopes, seemed to have performed badly in his debut, 1 of 3 in the first quarter, 3 of 10 in the half, and only 9 points and 6 rebounds in the half.
In the third quarter, the White Devils did not score a single point on 0-of-2 shooting, 3-of-12 from the field in the third quarter, and 0-of-4 from three-point range, which is indeed too inefficient. In 32 minutes, the White Devils shot 5 of 18 and 1 of 6 from three-point range, scoring 14 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals while shooting 27.8%.
Although Whitmore was not efficient, two fast-break dunks detonated the field, and fans and reporters watching the game also saw his talent.
Rockets reporter Kelly Iko wrote: "Whitmore's talent and advantages are visible to the naked eye, but his decision-making and ability to handle the ball are shortcomings.
Voices from many fans: 1. How did Whitmore fall to the 20th pick?
2. Whitmore's fast-break dunk is as explosive as Zion Williamson;
3. Whitmore is very excited, very positive on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.
4. I'm as excited as Whitmore is that you don't forget that 15 NBA general managers refused to pick him, and that didn't happen by chance. I guess he'll shine like Gilbert Arenas, he's a very good player with character/maturity, staying power that needs to be improved.
Amen Thompson scored 16 points, 5 assists, 4 rebounds, 3 steals and 4 blocks in 28 minutes, shooting 46.2% from the field, and his debut was better than the White Devils.
