Even though the Houston Rockets won a close game against the Golden State Warriors, which went to the last second, head coach Ime Udoka was livid with Alperen Sengun. After the youngster missed a 3-pointer in the fourth quarter, the HC called a timeout and was seen in a heated conversation with Sengun. Fans quickly took to the comment section and showed their support for the Turkish.
The game went to the wire at the last, and Steph Curry missed the game-winner, which is unlikely for him. Sengun kept the Rockets afloat by making clutch buckets, and also the last shot that gave the team a winning lead. However, Udoka clearly didn’t want the Rockets center making long-range shots.
BrickCenter shared the news on X and wrote:
“Ime Udoka was FUMING at Sengun for taking this 3
“GET YO A$$ ON THE BENCH.””
Fans did not miss the chance to humorously call out Udoka for shouting at Sengun, who brought a difficult win for the team. A user wrote:
“And I thought jj redick was aggressive”
Another fan was angry with the head coach and called him out for expressing too much anger toward young players. The user wrote:
“i hate this coach, always negative and rude to players especially Şengün and Reed i guess… He look always like an ass hole on the floor!”
This user also called out Udoka for “bad coaching” and wrote:
“It is clearly bad coaching. Udoka is one of the worst coach I ever watch for the context of the player development.”
Another expressed feelings about Udoka’s personality affecting the team and wrote:
“Udoka’s aggressive, negative attitude is really hard to watch”
One more user also commented on the same line and wrote:
“This is how not to coach a team. U want him to shoot 3s and he takes a wide open 3 while noone was moving. And then u fuck his confidence like that. U are mental mate u are trying to turn him into a regular center and i hope he continues refusing it”
The Rockets managed to keep their winning streak alive, thanks to some crucial clutch plays from Alperen Sengun. Fans had mixed reactions to him shooting 3-pointers at crucial junctures, as some criticized the All-Star while others berated Ime Udoka.
Alperen Sengun leads the Rockets to fifth consecutive win
The Rockets have now won five consecutive games after they avoided defeat in a narrow game that had Steph Curry’s homecoming written all over it. A rather unlikely situation occurred in the end: Steph Curry missed the game-winning shot.
While Kevin Durant scored 31 points, eight rebounds, and eight assists to lead the scoring, Alperen Sengun drained some shots from the paint to keep the team afloat in front of Curry’s 3-pointers. The Rockets now look toward play-ins and prepare to grab a playoff spot to extend their search for Durant’s third title.
