Udoka would rather lose than force Ethan to play! The playoffs aren't a priority?
Injuries are a challenge for any NBA athlete. Rockets coach Udoka has recently put higher demands on injured Rockets player Ethan. Ethan has only played 22 times this season and has been unable to play most of the time due to injury. In an interview with the Houston Chronicle, Udoka talked about his conversation with Ethan, emphasizing the need to be patient, to have a long-term perspective, and to ensure an athlete's future.
When we talk to Ethan, we always tell him, 'Be patient, have a long-term perspective, you're just starting your business, you still have a long way to go, so we won't do anything to your business.'" "Whichever method is best for him, we will do our best to take care of him," Udoka said. Udoka is an experienced and experienced coach, and his opinions are logical and macro-sensitive. He also understands that when an athlete gets injured, his mood can go up and down, and there will be a lot of stress.
Udoka has previously said that Ethan will be competing for a total star weekend. But recent tests have shown that Ethan is not doing so well and that it will take some time for him to be fully **. This injury left him devastated. As a youngster, he's just starting his career and he's definitely looking to get back into the ring as soon as possible. Udoka's advice reminded him of a long-term plan and to stay sober in his future career. Taking a risk to play a short-term game would have done irreparable damage to his career.
Of course, Ethan is a very professional guy and he would love to show his talent on the Circle. Udoka understood what he meant, and continued: "It's a matter of rationality and a question of looking at the big picture, and obviously the later he comes back this season, the worse his situation will be, and he will definitely play. Udoka's words were a warning to Ethan that he should fully develop his potential on the premise of preserving himself. The Rockets will provide Ethan with all the support and assistance he can get back to his top as quickly as possible.
Udoka's meaning is obvious, that is, let Esando play a few games, let Esando play a few games, so that he can ensure his form, so that he can guarantee his form. Returning to the court is what the Rockets are after.
Udoka's advice to Ethan shows that he cares deeply about a player's career and has a sense of responsibility. In the highly competitive and high-pressure game of the NBA, this kind of care and support is very important. I hope Ethan can take Udoka's advice to heart and look at his career with a rational eye, even if he will play next season, it will not have much impact on Ethan and the Rockets. For many people, the playoffs are far less important than the physical condition of the players.
