On May 2, 2022, Beijing time, in G1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals of the NBA playoffs, the Bucks defeated the Celtics, leading the series 1-0. After the game, Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo accepted an interview with the media.
When talking about the fierce confrontation in this game, Antetokounmpo said: “Maybe I’m a weirdo, I just like confrontation. I like the feeling of exhaustion after the game, I don’t know why, my family thought I was a weirdo for a while. The game ended. Afterwards, I will feel my body, and if I don’t feel tired, I don’t feel like I’ve done enough to fight, then I don’t think I’m giving my best for the team.”
After this game, Antetokounmpo surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Paul Pressey in triple-doubles in the playoffs and was crowned the first person in team history. Speaking of triple-doubles, Antetokounmpo said: “If there are teammates who get an open space, I have to pass the ball to them. If I have a chance to break through, I will decisively kill to the end. If I am empty, I will shoot decisively. Maybe it’s easier to play. My teammates are in the right position, they get an open shot, I pass the ball to them, they all make it, and that’s it.”
In this game, Antetokounmpo played 37 minutes and scored 24 points, 13 rebounds, 12 assists and 2 blocks on 9 of 25 shots. (Editor: Sheng Zhe)Return to Sohu, see more
