Is it an accident? The Rockets are not selling products, not Green or Shin Kyung, but Amen who has not defended against Curry

In the first round of this year's playoffs, the "Fight of Fire" met with fans again after six years, which really makes people feel like they are a different life! The Rockets of the League's First Anti-Campaign Team in the Harden era have now been replaced by a youth version of the Rockets composed of a large group of young people led by Greenshinjing. Curry's helper also changed from Klay Thompson to Jimmy Butler! But the only thing that remains unchanged is that the Warriors still maintain the blood pressure on the Rockets in the playoffs.
It is no exaggeration to say that "Fire War" is definitely the most intense series in the first round of this year's playoffs, even no one! The physical confrontation level between the two sides makes people vaguely see the playoffs of muscle collisions in the 1990s. In the past 4 games, players on both sides have had several skirmishes, which shows how intense the confrontation between the game is. Especially in G4, both sides almost performed a full martial arts! Perhaps, whether Dream Chasing Green and Dillon Brooks will play in the game has become the biggest suspense in the series.
As of now, the Warriors have taken a 3-1 lead against the Rockets in the series, and they only need to win another game to advance to the Western Conference semi-finals. Although the series has not ended yet, it is almost a foregone conclusion that the Rockets were eliminated by the Warriors! Because in the history of the league, the probability of the team finally advancing 1-3 in the series is only 4.5%. Combined with the Rockets' playoff experience at a disadvantage, it is almost inevitable that their stop in the first round will be eliminated!
I believe everyone still remembers that before the start of this series, the biggest expectation of the Rockets was that Amen Thompson locked Curry. Because only in this way can the Rockets have a chance to defeat the old and stronger Golden State Warriors. But what is particularly regrettable is that Amen has not only failed to lock Curry up to this stage, but has also been completely beaten by Curry on the offensive end! Therefore, it seems reasonable that the Rockets fell behind the Warriors 1-3 in a big score. Just imagine, when Amen Thompson, who is highly anticipated, cannot limit Curry's attack, the Rockets may not have a better winning key.
From the past four games, we can clearly see that in addition to lacking experience in the playoffs, the stars who did not make a final decision at critical moments are the most deadly. Therefore, if the Rockets want to go further in the playoffs in the future, they must adjust and optimize their existing lineup! According to NBA famous reporter Tim MacMahon, the Rockets will evaluate the team's youngsters' first playoff performance. If the Rockets decide to make a big deal, they will need to give up some of the young people. But the Rockets management has made it clear to the outside world that Amen Thompson is a non-selling product for the team.
Perhaps many people will be deeply surprised by this. The Rockets' non-sale products are not Jaylen Green and Shin Kyung, but Amen Thompson who did not defend Curry in this year's playoffs. It is undeniable that Amen Thompson’s potential on the defensive end is exciting, but his poor shooting is also disappointing! Soul question: Is a player who only knows how to defend but not attack really worth becoming a Rockets non-sale product? This is another Ben Simmons who is not alive. What do you think about this?
