Antetokounmpo: “We don’t have an identity yet”

The Bucks still… they are being searched as stated by Giannis Antetokounmpo after the second loss in three matches in his new league NBAfrom the Nets to Brooklyn.

“We have to improve our attack, we have to improve our defence, we are not playing well at all. We have to get better, it doesn’t matter if it’s the first, third or fiftieth match. We have to come together as a team, move the ball harder and play faster, because we are too slow. Find a way to play faster, run and create for our shooters. We have to improve. We want to find ways on how to win games. We don’t have an identity yet, as far as how we win a match. We will run for 48 minutes, we will distribute the ball for 48 minutes, but we have to find our identity, because we don’t have it yet“, Greek Freak pointed out.

“It’s impossible to control everything, it’s basketball. But we all strive to touch “perfect”. This perfection is the goal of all of us. Our image will not always be pretty, we will not have 48 minutes of perfect basketball, but we must always try. When we don’t achieve something, we have to put our heads down, try and work. When one phase doesn’t go well, we have to look at the next one, how we’re going to play in it, how we’re going to run, how we’re going to find our teammates. We have to make things happen. That should be our mindset“, he added.

On how the team can mentally find ways to react, he said:Spiritually you can do whatever you want. We have to find ways to connect with each other. We have to play faster and run all over the field. We can do it. What is important is to figure out how to find each other and be more aggressive and tough».

Finally, regarding the upcoming match with the Celtics, he noted:We will face a team that plays very fast, that distributes the ball well on the court, that shoots a lot of threes. We have to be focused for 48 minutes to have a chance».
