Sheppard: Amen warned me that if I don’t shoot the ball directly when I’m open next time, he’s going to beat me up.
6686 Sports November 13th NBA regular season, the Rockets beat the Wizards 135-112 at home today.
In this game, Rockets guard Shepard performed well. He played 25 minutes as a reserve player and made 8 of 11 shots and 5 of 8 three-pointers. He scored 21 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 interceptions and 1 block very efficiently, with a plus-minus value of +13.
When Sheppard was interviewed after the game, the reporter asked: "Yesterday Amen Thompson said that as long as he sees you open, he will definitely pass the ball to you, because you are the scorer. When your teammates have so much confidence in you, what does it mean to you?"
Sheppard said: "This is too important. Sometimes, teammates are so confident in you." Your trust is more important than your confidence in yourself. Because they are always there to support you. Amen just warned me in the weight room: 'If you don't shoot directly when you are open, I will beat you. ' This kind of joke is actually a reflection of trust. This sense of trust is really important."
