About the unprecedented for the same feeling of his team being booed by its own audience, the John Antetokounmpo after Bucks defeat Jazz at Fiserv Forum (116-132). Milwaukee found themselves trailing by 31 points at halftime (46-77) and the fans fought back, with the Greek Freak seeing their outrage as justified.
“Being down by 31 points at halftime was very embarrassing. I can’t remember the last time we lost by such a margin at home in the first half. As long as I’ve been with the Bucks, we’ve never been booed at home. But it is justified! You have to play hard, it’s not about whether you hit or miss. You have to try and when you don’t people realize it. When you wear this shirt, any shirt, you have to fight. We have great fans but if you don’t play well they can boo you. I would also disapprove of myself. When I heard the disapproval, I laughed in my head too“, he emphasized.
“The team should stick together in difficult times. In the second half we responded, I’m proud of the way we played in that period. In such situations, if you go alone, it is not going to bring any result. We must realize that we must become better, in the smallest detail. All these little things count and only then do you have a winning team and build a winning mentality. If you think you’re going to win just like that, you won’t succeed. How many points did they give us today? 132? We have to improve!“, he added.
