In detail, Yiannis Antetokounbos said:
For his fight with Chris Paul, after a foul that was made to him:
“Nothing happened, it was a strong phase. I have to see the video, I don’t know if it was a tricycle, it pushed me or something else. ”
About the fact that he went aggressively to Paul and then spoke to the center of the court, which is unusual for him:
“Why is it unusual? They haven’t tried me. They have to try me. Don’t try me. If you do, you will see a different side of me. Okay, at the end of the day, I think we are all men and we respect each other and if some words go a limit, then there will be consequences. I’m not saying much, I’m trying to play the game right, but at some point you say enough. If I feel like you are jeopardizing my life, my career and my body … it is a brother. I have a family to feed and what makes you laugh can make you cry. ”
For Rivers’ statement that defensively the Bucks seem to have lost ground:
“We have to become better. The Spurs scored as they wanted. We know they are running, that they want to shoot three -pointers, get aggressive rebounds and we gave them. Everything was easy for them. All. We have to be better. We have no excuse when we receive 150 points.
Everyone has to look at themselves in the mirror and play better. That’s it. We received 147 points (144 for accuracy)? These are 47 points more than we want to accept, we have to accept below 100 points. We can say what we want, but we have to be all better. Whatever the Spurs did was easy, we weren’t hard. I don’t know what happened, but we have to come to the next game and be better. ”
As to whether the Spurs were more aggressive:
“And I would be aggressive if I was playing against me. I would be aggressive, there was no dynamism, disagreement, offensive rebounds, drive in the basket. In one phase a player made 4-5 dribbles and nailed without anyone stopping or foul. And I would be aggressive. It has to be better. I don’t know what else to say. In the last two games we were not good defensive. In both games ”.
For the absences of Portis and Greene influenced the Bucks:
“My calves hurt. Not having Bobby … gives us another dimension to the team aggressively, it changes things for us, as in defense, because it plays dynamically. It gets rebound. Certainly we missed, like Greene, it was difficult because the stadium was opening, it is a threat to the three -point and we all have more room to create. ”
For the fact that the Spurs scored 70 points in the first half and 45 points in the third period and if the Bucks can win through the attack:
“No. It must be done by the defense. I think in this game, whoever was playing first defense – how much did we score, 118 points? – No team played defense, we just played worse defense.
We can take this game and give it to high school and college coaches, where you have them in a seminar and tell them how to play. It was aggressive, defensively to throw it in the trash for both teams. It was miserable. ”
