On May 27, NBA Rockets coach Uduka recently accepted an interview with Houston media and publicly praised the performance of young players in the Rockets' first playoff journey: "

"I have seen a lot of criticisms and accusations of the Rockets' elimination of the Warriors, but we are very satisfied with the players' overall performance this season. This is the first playoff journey after the Rockets completed their reconstruction. In the end, the second-ranked seed player in the West advanced to the playoffs and persisted with the Warriors with a strong championship culture until the end of the tiebreak, which fully demonstrated the great progress of this young team! ”

"About Jaylen Green's first playoff performance was still passed. This is the first time in his career. People always have too high expectations for him. The huge pressure young players face in the playoffs is obvious to all, but all these experiences are very beneficial to Jaylen Green's future growth. He is an excellent defender who is very resilient, likes to constantly challenge and has a big heart! "

"Yes, Amen Thompson is our biggest surprise this season. He was not surprised that he was selected as the best team defensive player. This is the result of his efforts. He always fully demonstrates aggressiveness and dominance in the game. It is obvious that Amen Thompson has grown very rapidly and his future achievements are immeasurable, but he will definitely join the ranks of superstars. There is no doubt about this! ”
