July 27th news, after sending Kevin Durant away, the Phoenix Suns' rebuilding process has accelerated, and the arrival of Dillon Brooks may be the starting point for the transformation of the temperament of this young team. As one of the blockbuster transactions involving multiple core players this summer, Brooks came to the Suns together with Jalen Green to inject vitality into the team.

Brooks has always been one of the most controversial figures in the league. His number of technical fouls, provocative behavior on the court, and friction with many stars have made him widely watched. But as many coaches who have coached him have said, this 6- foot -6 forward has more than just the label of " provocateur " . In the past three seasons, he has received 49 technical fouls, the most in the league. Opponents, referees, and even teammates may become the targets of his " fire " , but his starting point is to win and protect his teammates.

Brooks' defense is not just emotional harassment. He is very serious about preparing for the game and can give a detailed scouting report on every opponent. He is always the first to arrive at the training ground and actively applies for early strength training or shooting practice. A coach described him as " playing like the last game of his career every night . "

In March this year , he was ejected from a game against the Suns for a conflict with Durant. During his time in Houston, he caused heated discussions for provoking opponents and the media. But after changing his uniform, the fans' attitude towards him may also change. As he said in the summer league: " I can't wait to hear the applause after the first technical foul here. "

The Suns have had many scoring pros, passing masters, and all-around forwards in their history, but few have dominated the game with their " aura " and defensive presence like Brooks. From Dennis O'Terry to Danny Ainge, these " spoilers " have left a strong mark in the team's history, and Brooks may become the representative of the new era.

In this Suns team seeking a breakthrough, Brooks is not only an important reinforcement on the front line, but also a spiritual guide. His fighting spirit, his will to fight, and his persistence in the game may be the missing piece of the puzzle for this young team.
