Hero for Canada. Villain for all other teams. And also for the NBA universe. Es Dillon Brooks, a player who leaves no one indifferent. The forward has become one of the names of the World Cup, as he has actively collaborated to take the Canadian team to the semifinals with their points and, above all, with a defensive intensity that unsettles any rival. The last one, Luka Doncic.
In the quarterfinal match against Slovenia, Brooks was in charge of defending the rival star. Despite the fact that Doncic finished with 26 points, Jordi Fernández, Canadian coachpraised the work of his player. “We did a great job as a team in defense and especially Dillon. He gave a defensive clinic that should be in the FIBA museum”said the Spanish coach.
Dillon Brooks bullies Luka Doncic.
The Canadian would end up expelled, like Doncic, deranged and lost between protests by the defensive intensity of his rivals. For Brooks it was not something new. Last season he was the NBA player to whom the most techniques were pointed out. A total of 18. His constant polemics and media brawls with Donovan Mitchell, LeBron James, Nikola Jokic and even a television camera they made the Grizzlies They did not make the slightest effort to renew him at the end of the course. The Rockets have made a hole for him.
Jordi Fernández, in addition, came out of the Slovenian protests for arbitration. “If they complain, let them complain”he said emphatically. We have to play our game and we have to keep our composure so we can control what we can control,” she said. The next victim of Canada’s physicality and intensity may be Serbia.
