THE John Antetokounmpofollowing his career-high 55 points on 20-of-30 2-point shooting and 15-of-16 shooting against the Wizards, making it three straight games of 40+ points, he addressed the Bucks’ win with 123-113, but also to those who they think his game is… boringstressing that he is trying to do better!
First, he said: “I’m just trying to make good decisions and be aggressive throughout the game. At the end of the day, we’re trying to win. We lost 4-5 matches in a row. We were missing two of our best players, Jrue (Holliday) and Chris (Middleton), but a lot of guys stepped up. We’re playing good basketball, we’re playing good defense, and I’m doing everything I can to help my team win.”
And then, when asked about his performance at the shooting line (15/16), he replied: “That’s what I do. I’m just working! A lot of people think my game is boring, but I try to do better, help my team win, put extra work into my shots, fight to find my teammates free on the three-pointer and hit the racket as much as I can».
During the interview, in fact, Giannis’ teammates booed him and he declared: “The water was cold! That’s why I’m smiling. In any case, this is basketball. It’s about winning. We are a great team. We play together, we win together, we lose together. This is Milwaukee and I’m happy to play on this team. The city of Milwaukee has played a huge role in my journey! Without her, I wouldn’t be the player I am today. I don’t play for the name on the back (Antetokounmpo), but for the name on the front of the jersey (Milwaukee)! I try to represent the city in the best way».
