His appreciation in his face Sasha Vezenkov expressed the John Antetokounmpo after the heavy loss of the Bucks in Sacramento (129-94). The former Olympiakos ace remains injured and did not compete, but Greek Freak had the opportunity to chat with him.
“I’m happy for him. I wished him a speedy recovery and return healthy to help his team in any way possible. He’s an amazing player, he knows how the game is played and he’s a great guy to have on your team” said the 29-year-old superstar, who had 30 points, 13 rebounds and 4 assists, but not much help from his teammates.
Wow about his team’s heavy defeat, he said:We have to match the energy of the opponents and find a rhythm, especially at the beginning of the games. If you can’t do that, you’re in trouble. The start of a race also shows the course. You know the Kings play fast and will shoot a 3-pointer with 17” left in their offense. If you are not focused from the first second you will have a problem and we were not focused. You have to find ways to manage the game. You must have rules for transition defense. Who will pass, who will screen. You have to call the shots. There are fifteen games left in the playoffs and I don’t think opposing teams will find ways like this to gain an advantage against us. I believe that the basketball we play is more physical and this somewhat slows down the pace of the opponents. There will be times when teams will try to run and take advantage of that against us, but I think we can slow the game down. It’s crazy, but it’s the first time in my career that the slower game is our strength. The Kings played excellently, with high tempo and intensity. Everyone scored. Fox, Monk, Sabonis. Everyone touched the ball and scored today. It was a team win for them».
