After a great caviar from LaMelo Ball on the “backdoor”, Khris Middleton naturally thought to go dunk unopposed, as others had done before in this match.
This is where Giannis Antetokounmpo came up from behind to remove the leather from his teammate’s hand. With his gesture, the Greek showed the example while his formation, “Team LeBron”, approached the bar of 163 points scored, synonymous with victory.
” I’ll be honest with you, I feel really bad! I didn’t know it was Khris because coming back on defense I was focused on the carrier and felt someone cut behind me. So when he took the ball, I turned around, saw a player and just jumped up to touch him “, details the Greek after the meeting. Then he adds, smiling: I was like, ‘What do you expect with me? I try to win’ “
This action did not really surprise Karl-Anthony Towns, who spoke about it to his evening teammate, Khris Middleton: “ Your guy, Giannis, never knows how to play half. This is how it’s supposed to be. I love that. That’s why he won the title and is on the 75 list. (best players in league history). “
” I know, I’m not surprised at all.”completes the rear / winger of the Bucks, who had the opportunity to raise his shooting percentage (5 points to 1/8). “That’s what I expect from him. It’s just fun. He is competitive as I want to be. Obviously I want both points but he’s going to be himself, which I love and respect. “
At the very end of the third quarter, Giannis Antetokounmpo had already stood out in front of his partner in Milwaukee. Returning alone to defend a counter-attack, he had deflected a volleyball-style pass from Khris Middleton, sent in the direction of Dejounte Murray.
” It was probably a bad pass anyway.fits the rear. “But that’s why he’s one of my favorite teammates. He plays hard no matter what. “
