The job is done for the Rockets, who beat the Spurs this Tuesday evening. Alperen Sengun crushed everything with his 45 points, while Dillon Brooks made his defense do the talking to make the difference. What do they have in common? The two did a monster job on Victor Wembanyama. Not spared by his opponents, the Frenchman will have things to remember from this game.
Rockets happy after victory over Spurs
At a press conference, Ime Udoka did not hide her joy. He is obviously happy with the victory first of all, but especially with the work of his players to defend Wembanyama well. Remember that the latter did not attempt any shots after returning from the locker room. In front of journalists, Udoka spoke about his team’s efforts.

Ime Udoka on the anti-Wembanyama plan : “That was the most important thing, that Dillon Brooks got to work early. No matter where Victor Wembanyama was, at the head of the racket or in the corner, he was on him constantly. Brooks stopped him from taking certain balls, he pushed him from his spot, and he was even able to fight against him in the post. »
“Brooks had some help with good rotations so I really liked our versatility on defense. Our rotations were perfect. (…) It all started with Dillon, but the rest of the team helped a lot too. »
Wembanyama had a hard time against this opposing defense, with only 10 shots arriving for him, 4 of which were successful. This is not necessarily a bad thing for the Frenchman, who will have to get used to all this in the future. After all, defenses will quickly close in on him when we see his prowess.
Ime Udoka is pleased with his team’s defense on Victor Wembanyama, well locked down by the Rockets during this game. A difficult test for the Frenchman, who will be able to take his revenge on March 13.
