They are beginning to find their footing Buckswho picked up their third straight win at NBAwith Giannis Antetokounmpo making his second consecutive triple-double and 50th in his career.
After the match, the “Greek Freak” spoke to me optimism for the progress of the team, he deified him Gary Trent Jr for the phase when he left by surprise and instead of nailing himself he gave him an assist with a board, while he referred to his collaboration with Damian Lillard.
In detail what he said:
For Gary Trent: “Gary is my man. He doesn’t know it, but now I’m going to make him a lot of free throws. It was an incredible phase. Phases like this bring the whole team together. I was part of a team that two years ago such a phase broke us apart. In such a phase, if you don’t pass to your teammate, he has it in his mind.
When you go through a phase that you can nail, it sends the message to the whole team that we are united. One possession before I might make a free 3-pointer on somebody, then he’ll give me a layup and we’re all together. We play right. When someone is free, we give them the ball.
You want that kind of spirit in a team. Don’t get me wrong. If it were me, I’d nail it. No, I’m just kidding. You should generally not be selfish. There will be times when I get double teamed and I have to pass. As a leader, I must pass. This applies to everyone. He covers me, I cover him.
Green, let’s just say, played great defense at Halliburton today, but he was left out. We have to cover him. The next time he is free we have to give him the ball, feed him, make him feel good because he is sacrificing his body for us. He will do the same tomorrow. So whenever we can make him feel good, we should.”
For Lillard: “He plays at a tremendous pace. He attacks the pick-and-roll so they go at him. If they double team him, he will pass, because he knows we will make the right decision. Like when they double team me in the post, I pass and the ball moves around to punish the opposing team. Lillard feels this, he plays with pace and confidence, he doesn’t play selfishly. Other times he will score, but when he is double teamed he will pass.
We spend time together. I understand from his pace, his dribbling what he’s going to do, I know when he’s going to attack, where he wants the ball, when he’s going to drop the screen. We just spend time together. I’ve done it with Middleton, Lopez. We just have a lot of reps together and that’s what counts. Our chemistry just keeps getting better. We have played 16 games, we have a long way to go.”
