Big mouth Dillon Brooks has set the Sun on fire again
Of course, there are also his bad gestures and his technical mistakes that are enough to annoy opposing players and fans. But Dillon Brooks changed something in Phoenix, which was depressed after the failure of the “big three” consisting of Devin Booker, Bradley Beal and Kevin Durant. It is therefore a symbol of these new ones Sunsrough as can be.
The Suns, who with 30 wins and 19 losses are installed in the Top 6 of the Western Conference, and who just beat the Pistons and Cavaliers … without Devin Booker.
Each time, Dillon Brooks was his team’s first offensive weapon and for Charles Barkley“Naughty” from Arizona totally deserves to be in the All-Star Game!
“That’s nice to hear.”, explains the person in question. “I love watching this show (Inside The NBA) with Shaq, Charles and Kenny. They’re funny, they’re nice. They get people involved. Chuck’s a legend, a Hall of Famer. To hear him say my name and see all my hard work pay off today is great.”
Averaging 21.1 points, shooting 45%, including 35% from distance, Dillon Brooks posted career-best numbers in both scoring and overall shooting efficiency. If he is still able to water, he does so less than in the past, or at least there are fewer encounters where it occurs.
Not far from being an All-Star?
“Yeah, I definitely feel like I’m playing at that (All-Star) level.he explains. “But at the end of the day, I’m not going to beg for it or do anything like that. If it happens, it happens, but our real All-Star is the book (Devin Booker). He’s led us all season and he deserves to be in the All-Star race and be an alternate on the All-Star team.”
Dillon Brooks’ satisfaction gets into the heads of his opponents… and his teammates. A constant target of his criticism, Oso Ighodaro finally exploded during a match against the Warriors.
“He ended up yelling at me. In the end”, enjoys the winger. “I’ve been waiting for this for a long time, I’ve been pushing it for about three months. And it finally exploded.”
Dillon Brooks’ big mouth can backfire, and in Memphis it made him the scapegoat for a team that likely had other problems. But the Suns needed someone who could push this group of young and vindictive men who were predicted to fall to the bottom of the Western standings.
“I talk a lot, but I quickly realize who can take it” assures that he will conclude. “If that’s not the case, then I change tactics and find other ways to get my message across, because within a team sometimes you have to choose which battles to fight. At the end of the day, everyone in this locker room knows that I’m not speaking with bad intentions. I just want you to improve.”
