Rockets forward star: We always choose the difficult path, we need to make ourselves more relaxed

In the first round of the playoffs, the Houston Rockets, ranked second in the West in the regular season, encountered the Golden State Warriors' bottom line, lost to their opponents 3-4 with a total score and were eliminated. After the series, Rockets' forward star Tari Eason was interviewed by reporters, in which he also talked about the team's performance this season and his goals for the following offseason.

When talking about the team's performance this season, Ethan said: We have shown strong resilience throughout the season, but we always have to choose the toughest path at some point, which is actually not very beneficial to us. For example, in the middle of this season, we had to fight for 11 consecutive victories to maintain our record, just like we fought for the playoff spots in the last period of last year. For example, during the playoffs, we were behind our opponents 1-3, but we almost completed an incredible reversal. But next season, we must stop creating such difficulties for ourselves. We must make it easier for ourselves and leave more space for ourselves. When talking about the offseason goals, Ethan continued: This offseason, I know that this will be the most critical and important summer in my life. I will work hard to improve my skills in all aspects and make myself perform better next season.

In the NBA regular season this season, Ethan played 57 games in 82 games, averaging 24.9 minutes per game, averaging 12 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.9 blocks, and 1.1 turnovers and 2.4 fouls, shooting percentage of 48.7%, three-point shooting percentage of 34.2%, and free throw shooting percentage of 76%. During the playoffs, Ethan averaged 18.9 minutes in these seven games, with averaging 7.6 points, 4.3 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 1.1 steals and 1 block, and 1.4 turnovers and 1.9 fouls. He shot 47.7%, three-point shooting percentage 36.8%, and 50% free throw shooting percentage.

In fact, Ethan's performance in the regular season was very outstanding. He showed quite good personal abilities. He made great progress on both offense and defense. His scoring ability and impact are quite outstanding. He is an extremely outstanding defender on the defensive end. In the playoffs, Ethan's performance was still able to maintain a high level. He was able to play his role on both offense and defense, but due to the significant reduction in playing time, his data did not appear as outstanding. I wonder how Ethan will make improvements this summer. Will he play a more important role in the Rockets' lineup next season?
