Dillon scored 32 points! The Rockets and Suns trade achieved a win-win situation, and Jaylen Green’s plan to slap him in the face was ruined

An NBA reporter previously broke the news that the Suns expressed their desire for Sheppard, Smith Jr. and Ethan during negotiations, but the Rockets directly rejected them.

Ethan is Uduka's favorite defensive hero, and the Rockets will definitely not let him go. Although what Smith Jr. and Sheppard produced at the time were not in line with the draft picks, they were chosen by Stone. Now Stone's patience is paying off, and Shepard is starting to deliver on his talent.

In the end, Stone chose to send Dillon to the Suns as a bargaining chip. Although Dillon is also a defensive warrior that Uduka likes, he is very eager to get Durant.

Dillon and Jaylen Green came to Phoenix together and became the Suns' new giants. Some fans once questioned: Can Dillon be considered a giant? I have to say that Dillon has really become a Suns giant. He can not only defend but also attack, reducing the pressure on Booker.

In the latest game against the Pacers, Dillon made 12 of 18 shots and scored 32 points in 28 minutes. He and Booker teamed up to defeat the opponent and allowed the Suns to continue their winning streak. Their goal is to enter the playoffs.

Seeing Dillon's hot state, some Rockets fans asked if they could bring Brother Long back. Let’s talk about it, it’s really not necessary.

Jaylen Green performed poorly in the playoffs last season, and Dillon's performance was actually not that good either. He easily got into trouble when playing. Now Okogie has filled Dillon's vacancy. He plays reasonably and selflessly, has good offensive efficiency, and the key is quite cheap.

Okogie averaged 8.4 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 steals in 23 minutes per game this season, shooting 48.1% from the field and 46.9% from the three-point range.

Before this game, Dillon averaged 18.3 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 2 steals in 29 minutes per game, shooting 39.1% from the field and 31.3% from the three-point range. Dillon's efficiency will obviously decrease as the number of shots increases, but the Suns need him to consume the ball.

At the beginning, many American media commented that the Rockets became the big winner in the Durant trade, while the Suns obviously suffered a loss. Looking at it now, the deal between the Rockets and the Suns has achieved a win-win situation.

The addition of Durant has turned the Rockets into a championship-level team. He can attract opponents' defense and make Houston's young players more comfortable.

The Suns have made their lineup more reasonable and stronger through transactions. Dillon brought a tough culture to the Suns, which rose again. This season, the Suns have allowed only 1.9 points less per game than the Rockets, ranking in the middle of the league in points per game.

Dillon came to the Suns and enjoyed playing, but Jaylen Green could only be a spectator most of the time due to injuries, and his plan to slap him in the face was ruined.

Jaylen Green was interviewed before when he participated in the NBA China Game. He revealed that he had circled the date on his calendar when he would return to Houston and play against the Rockets for the first time this season. He wanted to use his performance to slap his old club in the face.

The Suns will face the Rockets at home on November 25th, and will challenge the Rockets away from home on December 6th. Jaylen Green will not be able to play in these two games. He will miss 4 to 6 weeks due to a hamstring strain.

In order to maintain speed and agility when he was with the Rockets, Jaylen Green did not choose to gain weight as much as Cunningham did. The burden on his body was reduced and his attendance rate was quite high. However, the intensity of the playoffs is not comparable to that of the regular season. Jaylen Green's weakness in physical confrontation was clearly exposed, which hindered the Rockets. Jaylen Green chose to gain weight after joining the Suns, but injuries occurred.

Whitmore also marked the date of the match against the Rockets on his calendar, but instead of being slapped in the face, he was embarrassed. In the last game, Whittemore only scored 11 points against the Rockets, with a plus-minus of -21, the worst on the team.
