It is only good that Milwaukee Bucks and Indiana Pacers ended the equalization in the first round of Playoff, a rematch from last year and another chapter in the competition, which seems to grow with every meeting. On the side in the game 1 Damian Lillard entered it with the opponent, Trese Haliburton. “See you on Tuesday,” said Lillard. See him on Tuesday that they did Pacers when Dame returned from a monthly absence from a blood clot. It is not surprising that the two points of the guards returned to it in the game 2 and they were not alone – after Lillard and Pascal Siakam received double techniques on Saturday, Siakam and Bobby Portis were in the game 2.
However, in the case of Giannis Antetokunmpo, the bitter feud is secondary. Two -time MVP does not want to create enemies.
Milwaukee Bucks and Indiana Pacers hate themselves – but Giannis is not buying
Lillard, who felt the effects From his long absence, he showed understandable signs of rust overdue. Shooting 4-13 from the field and 2-8 out of three, he brought 14 points and 7 assists in 37 minutes. After Bucks lost 15 in the middle of the fourth quarter, the deep Dame Three reduced the deficit to two to limit the 13-0 gear in less than three minutes 123-115 win. Bucks Head Home in the 2-0 hole.
Even with Lillard and fit Giannis, it can’t be a good feeling for fans. Without great difficulty, Pacers have now covered 36 points of Greek Freak in the game 1 and his 34 points, 18 boards and 7 decades on Tuesday. In the case of Milwaukee, rejection by the hated enemy two years in a row only offends the injuries. But Antetokunmpo does not feel bad and do not even like, towards their opponents – only the intense spirit of competition.
“I like everyone, man”, he he said At his press conference. “I’m just a competitor. I’m not going to come here and say that I don’t like him, I don’t like him.”
Although he recognizes bad blood grown by the repetitive clashes of the teams, he is not interested in getting involved in the skirmishes. “We play a lot. I feel that there is a lot of hostility, a lot and back, but I try to stay away.” Having said that, he noticed that antagonists should expect to bring pain.

Interactions outside the pitch can be in line with various guidelines, but Giannis is all seriousness when the clock is ticking. “I’m going to you. In this way I feed my family. I have four children. I have to look after my family, I have to provide them.”
Antenetokunmpo said in a similar way that although he was not hunting for trouble, he was not against the answer. “If you poke me, I’m there. I don’t withdraw. I think that many people know about me. But I don’t really care what people think.”
He didn’t need much impulse to dominate the first two games. Unfortunately, he had little aid in the rest of the starting part – up to 28 Portis 28 points in the game 2 was not enough to ensure victory.
On Friday, from Bucks in a situation where she won, the only one focuses on the preparation and performance in his best skills. “My way of thinking is now in the game 3. I know that F -Ang, man. I know what I have to do.”
