On July 24, Beijing time, Canada men's basketball player Dillon Brooks was interviewed, and when asked about the three most difficult players to defend, Dillon gave the answer Doncic, Alexander and Nembhard, and fans ridiculed him in the comment section for trying his best not to say James's name.
Dillon, who currently plays for the Rockets in the NBA, is an excellent defender. When asked about the three hardest players to defend, the first name Dillon almost blurted out was Luka Doncic. It seems that he is the most recognized opponent by Dillon. The data shows that Dillon has played against Doncic 8 times in his career, Doncic is 7-1, and in these 8 games, Doncic averaged 29.6 points, 8.3 rebounds and 7.9 assists per game.
After Doncic, Dillon thought for a few seconds and gave a second name, his Canada national team teammate Alexander. Alexander also played at an MVP-caliber level last season. Statistics show that Dillon has played against Alexander 12 times in his career, Dillon is 7-5, and in these 12 games, Alexander averaged 24.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game.
After giving two answers, Dillon began to shake his head and never said the third name. At this time, he suddenly turned to Nembhard on the side, and after seeing Nembhard nodding slightly to himself, Dillon said that the third was Nembhard, and he laughed after speaking, Obviously this is not a serious answer. Nembhard and Dillon have only met 3 times in their careers, Dillon is 1-2, and in 3 games, Nembhard averaged 10.7 points, 2.3 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game.
James' name did not appear in Dillon's answer. The many battles between the two in the NBA have caused heated discussions, and even the warm-up games between the United States men's basketball team and the Canada men's basketball team, Dillon has to take the initiative to find James to fight. Some fans ridiculed Dillon in the comment section: "Brother is trying his best not to say James's name." Dillon and James have met 15 times in the NBA, with James going 11-4 and averaging 24.7 points, 7.6 rebounds and 7.7 assists per game.
