Giannis Antetokounmpo did not hide his frustration with the Bucks’ slide in the NBA playoffs and opened up about a series of mistakes by the team
antetokounmpo left frustrated with the bucks in the playoffs of NBA. The main player of the Milwaukee team was unable to prevent his team from leaving the knockout phase of the competition early. According to Giannis, defeats and falls are part of building a winning team. Thus, he prevented some controversy from splashing around his teammates.
It’s not a failure. They are steps to success. There are always steps to this. Michael Jordan played 15 years, won six championships. Was the other nine years a failure? Is that what you’re telling me?“, he stated.
“It’s the wrong question. There is no failure in sports. There are good days, bad days. Some days you succeed, some days you don’t. Some days it’s your turn, some days it’s not your turn. And that’s what sport is about. You don’t always win. Sometimes other people win. And this year someone will win, simple as that.“, he completed in relation to the Bucks’ loss to the Heat by 128 to 126.
Budenholzer was targeted by the press for having difficulty getting Butler to stop; Antetokounmpo replied…
During the press conference, Giannis was asked about possibly tagging Butler during the playoff matchups against the Miami Heat. The Bucks star even went so far as to say that this could have changed the scenario of the match, but he tried to soften it and tried to relieve the pressure on top of Budenholzer’s work.
I don’t know, do more doubles with him, try to get him to pass the ball. Maybe change the matchup a bit, give Jrue (Holiday) a break. I don’t think as a team we did the right (adjustment) or we didn’t make as many adjustments as we could against him.“, continued.
“Out of respect, you need to let the technician make the adjustment. We have our best defender with him but obviously there’s talk, whenever he gets tired I can catch him. … At the end of the day, I wish I had defended him more“, finished the player after the elimination of the Bucks in the NBA playoffs.
