NBA – Frustrated, DeMar DeRozan committed a big foul on Jalen Green, which caused him to be sent off. He was accompanied by Dillon Brooks, who came to demand accountability from him.
In great shape, like his Rockets, Jalen Green clearly has the gift of annoying his opponents, however experienced. Because after Bradley Beal, it’s this time DeMar DeRozan who attacked the back of Houston…
We are in the third quarter of the match and while Chicago had come back to two small points, Houston pulled back. The Chicago leader was blocked by Jalen Green on a counterattack. In the process, he missed a layup, with undoubtedly an uncalled foul from Dillon Brooks. So, on the rise of the Texan ball, he commits a huge foul on Jalen Green, looking like an outlet and a message.
Dillon Brooks obviously gets involved in the affair, coming to demand accountability from DeMar DeRozan and the situation degenerates between the two teams, Brooks and Torrey Craig ending up on the ground.
The two coaches defend their players
Ultimately, the referees will eject DeMar DeRozan, his foul on Jalen Green being called “Flagrante II”, while Dillon Brooks will accompany him for his role in “escalating the situation”.
“I apologized to the group after the match”
DeMar DeRozan explained. “For not being on the pitch and not giving us every chance to win a game. That’s what frustrates me the most, not having been on the field with my guys, not having seen what the result could have been (if he had been there). »
The Chicago winger obviously does not regret his mistake, while Billy Donovan believes that she did not deserve to be sent off anyway. On the Houston side, we think it was Dillon Brooks who should have finished the match.
“I didn’t like the fact that (Brooks) got elbowed because even though he got close, he didn’t say anything crazy.”explains Ime Udoka in defense of his player. “They say that according to the rules, he is the guy who started the situation, after what DeRozan did, and he was ejected for that. I don’t like that he got hit, but since he got close, that’s roughly the rule. »
