“I will talk about it with my grandchildren”: Giannis Antetokunmpo focused on the present after the historic game vs 76ers

Twice this season was made a triple double story – this time, courtesy of Giannis Antetokunmpo. His 35 points, 17 boards and 20 ten-centuries compared to 76ers were connected in the first line 35-15-20 in archives. At the beginning of this year, Nikola Jokic went down in history as the only player in the club 30-20-20 in the Denver Denver win against Phoenix. Well, from Thursday evening Greek Freak has its own club. And he didn’t need overtime. But at least now he is not interested in talking about it.

Giannis demonstrates the mentality of “to the next” when Milwaukee Bucks presses on Playoffs

Winning 126-113 improves the Milwaukee record to 42-34 this season, poking them in front of the pistons (also 42-34, but without a draw) to the 5th place in the east. Because Pacers is comfortable three matches with six to win, the most bucks they can hope are to ensure the fifth grain of the right to play in the Indian in the first round.

Giannis certainly performed his role for this purpose with a performance against Philadelphia. When asked about his first feat, he focused more on getting the next win:

“I feel good. We have another one in two days, while traveling three. It is always good to start with winning. I have to go and be closed against Miami, and then try to get the next game. But that’s good. I feel that I will talk about it with my children or grandchildren when I’m retired.”

Giannis had to accept even more duties related to fun than usual with Damian Lillard with a blood clot, Giannis. Although Lillard did not travel, Bucks received great news about his recovery progress Returns this season. For now, however, Antetokunmpo will continue to be a central point, which usually fills to a lesser extent. And he likes it.

Playing the point-centrum comes naturally for Antetokunmpo

“I will not lie,” Giannis told Postgame journalists – “I love to cope with the ball.” He also noticed that being the most critical option requires some intensity. “When you are the main guide of the ball, you just have to make good decisions for the team.”

On Thursday, he placed his game skills on a shiny display, which is 50 points from assists, except for his own 35. Even playing with Lillard (7.1 APG) for most of the season, Giannis reached an average of 6.0 assists, while scoring 30.4 points.

Supported by karma from Antetokunmpo, all five starters hung double characters in defense of Philadelphia, as did Gary Trent Jr. And aj green from the bench. However, this is not all roses and sun, because Bucks were on 17 early to the 76ers team without Joel Embiid, without Paul George and without Tyrese Maxey. Then Rivers fell ill on the pitch, demanding from Darvin Ham to fill as a trainer in the second half.

Ham said about Giannis Poste: “Until we recover Dame, he must be the leader of our team in terms of playing the game and being the first to do a dirty job on the other side of the ball.”

Milwaukee plays in Miami on Saturday evening, in the first stage, which ends the journey on Sunday with Pelicans.
