We are in the last minutes of the meeting between Spurs and Bucks. There are twenty points apart in favor of San Antonio and the match is folded when Giannis antetokounmpo Try to go to the circle, surrounded by Chris Paul and Jeremy Sochan.
The interior of the bucks falls, but difficult to distinguish if it is because of a gesture of the Texan playmaker or if he takes his feet in those of “CP3”-perhaps a little of both. In any case, contact and fall are not violent. But the Greek, before getting up, points to Chris Paul. For long seconds, he clearly expresses his anger, always with the same gesture of the hand.
Strong words, for a fairly banal gesture
“The people who know me do not come to pick me up. If I come to get me, then it's something else and we're going to discover another facet of myself. I don't know if I was dropped or if I was pushed “,, wonders the double MVP after the meeting, after having indicated that this action had ” nothing special “.
So why did you react so violently? “We are all men and we respect ourselves. If the words go beyond the limits, then there must be consequences ”continues Giannis antetokounmpo. “I'm not saying much, I'm just trying to play basketball. If we put my life, my career and my body in danger, then, too much is too much. I have a family to feed and what can make you laugh can make me cry. »»
The all-star of the Bucks took the trouble to wait for his opponent after the final buzzer to exchange a few words with him. The Greek, undoubtedly above all frustrated by defeat and tired after almost 50 games, clearly took this gesture badly, which seemed harmful and not very dangerous, of Chris Paul. In any case far from being able to put “His career in danger” Since the referees judged that it was a simple fault.
