Udoka's support for Amen was not intentional! Dillon complained that it was really dirty to chase dreams and play: he pushed it

On April 26, Beijing time, the Rockets practiced to prepare for the third game against the Warriors. The collision between Amen Thompson and Butler is still hotly debated, and the Rockets coach has responded.

In the first quarter of the Rockets' second victory, defensive titan Amen Thompson collided with Butler who was leaping into the air. After losing his balance, Butler fell the tailbone, and the pelvis and deep gluteal muscles were officially confirmed to be contusions, and his current form in the third game is questionable. Many Warriors fans believe that this is intentional by Amen, and have accused the young player of playing "dirty". However, the Rockets vehemently denied this claim.

Asked about Amen Thompson's accusation of "playing dirty" for his collision with Butler, Udoka responded: "Obviously, that wasn't meant to be. No one deliberately turns their face down to someone else. Of course, some of their (Warriors') actions on the court are also debatable. ”

Dillon Brooks also stepped up to defend his teammates and turned the finger at Draymond Green, who had just won the Best Fight award.

"I think it was Draymond who was really 'dirty' when he pushed Amen Thompson...... Jimmy was in the air scrambling for a rebound when the accident happened. Amen is not the kind of person who plays hard...... We don't care about these baseless accusations. We're focused on the next game and hopefully Jimmy recovers as soon as possible. ”

The Warriors currently classify Butler's G3 status as "doubtful," and if Butler does miss the G3 game, the Warriors will need a better performance from his bench to fill the huge void left by the all-around star's absence. "If Butler can't play, we're going to have to restructure everything," head coach Kerr said, "including rotation, starting lineups, best combinations, and so on. However, Kerr is still relatively optimistic that Butler still has a chance to play in G3.

Since his promotional debut in Chicago on Feb. 9, the Warriors have a 25-9 record, including a 23-8 record in the regular season, a play-in win over the Grizzlies and the first two games against the Rockets. The third game between the Rockets and the Warriors will be played at 8:30 a.m. Beijing time on April 27, and the two teams are currently tied 1-1.
