Pushed out by his management after the elimination of Grizzlies in the first round of the playoffs against the Lakers, Dillon Brooks bounced back well since he offered himself this summer on the market a nice contract for four seasons and 90 million dollars on the side of Houston.
” I rested, cleared my mind, then I went back to work. I worked physically, so as not to experience weak weather during the summer », says the 27-year-old winger, about his offseason. ” And above all, I focused on myself, on my well-being. I stayed away from social media, I worked my game. I did what I had to do. »
His contractual situation quickly settled, the turbulent Canadian winger was thus able to turn serenely towards the next deadline of his off-season: preparation for the World Cup with the ambitious Canada.
” This is where it all started, and there are no politics or agendas. We are here to represent our country, stories or rumors of all kinds remain on the doorstep “, Appreciates the native of Mississauga, for whom the national team clearly seems to represent a breath of fresh air after a hectic spring. ” I can’t wait to wear that white and red jersey with all those guys. It’s a family environment, and we all want to win and achieve something unique for our country. »
A Dillon Brooks true to himself
Within this Canadian formation which on paper seems capable of competing with anyone at the World Cup, a revitalized Dillon Brooks prefers to warn, however: do not count on him to change his naturalness, that of the villain who provokes and annoys his opponents…
” It’s about hampering the opponent even before possession starts, even before the action is called by the point guard. Kick them in the lard, change their trajectories and their angles “, adds the one who should form with RJ Barrett and Lu Dort a trio with a strong defensive level on the Canadian wings. ” And then, inside, hitting the big ones on the rebound. But I hope that I will not be whistled too many mistakes. »
