Last season, Amen Thompson was one of the best substitutes for the Rockets and a member of the second team of the All-Rookie Team, which is enough to reflect his ability and performance. Last week, he just finished a small training camp carefully organized by his teammate Jalen Green, and now he has devoted himself to personal intensive training, aiming directly at the new season, vowing to make up for the biggest shortcoming in his career.

During the training camp, Amen not only honed his skills with his teammates, but also learned from Jalen Green his pure love and unremitting pursuit of basketball. Green's leadership and performance on the court undoubtedly set an example for Amen. However, Amen knows that if he wants to gain a foothold in the fiercely competitive NBA, speed and confrontation, passing vision and inside scoring ability are far from enough. Especially in this era when three-pointers are becoming increasingly mainstream, improving outside shooting ability has become a hurdle he must overcome.

Therefore, in his personal training schedule, Amen deliberately increased the proportion of outside shooting training. In his personal training, in addition to normal training with and without the ball, he almost devoted all his energy to the area outside the three-point line. Every short adjustment after shooting, every repeated consideration of the details of the action, is a challenge and transcendence of his own limits. The trainer patiently guided him, from standing posture, shooting posture to the use of arm strength, every detail was not missed, striving to help Amen find the shooting method that suits him best.
