\"Giannis\u00ab I remember my first playoffs, I was expelled. My first playoffs, I plated someone! So it can't be worse than that!<\/em> \u00bb, Rightly laughing giannis antetokounmpo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A few days before the start of the first round of the playoffs between the Pacers and his training, the Bucks leader has just been asked about the management of emotions in such a context. A major issue for the few young elements of the team. Like a Kevin Porter Jr. who, since his arrival in the Great League in 2019, has only known the regular season.<\/p>\n

Then aged 20, the Greek had known its first playoff campaign in 2014-15, in its second season. His team opposed to the Bulls of Jimmy Butler and Derrick Rose, Giannis Antetokounmpo had a lot of trouble speaking in this first lost round against Milwaukee in six games.<\/p>\n

Above all, during this final game 6, he stood out for his bad gesture on Mike Dunleavy Jr, worth an expulsion, while his team was going to sink collectively (66-120!). “” It is a very bad gesture on my part. It will not happen anymore. The match was broadcast throughout the country. The children looked at. Many see me as a model. I disappointed myself. I was going to 100 an hour. My intention was to stop me, but I have no brakes …<\/em> He said then.<\/p>\n

Rely on the frames<\/h3>\n

His coach, Jason Kidd, had spoken of an learning experience for him, adding that his gesture ” was not very intelligent<\/em> \u00bb. <\/p>\n

To prevent this kind of scenario from happening again today for his young teammates, in the heart of Playoffs where ” All emotions will be amplified<\/em> \u00bb, Giannis Antetokounmpo advocates dialogue within the team.<\/p>\n

Building on the team's executives, Bobby Portis, Brook Lopez, Pat Connaughton and himself of course, all actors in the title of 2021. “” Do not let yourself be carried away when it goes well, or being put down when it goes bad. This is not only worth for Scoot<\/em> (Kevin Porter Jr.), But for all those who play the playoffs for the first time<\/em> \u00bb, Note the Greek who advises to stay away from social networks.<\/p>\n

\u00ab You are not as good or bad as people say. Stay balanced, do the little things … If you need something, send me a message, call me, toque to my door. Sometimes you are going to be taken by emotions during the match, for guys who have not yet known that, it can slip<\/em> “, Suitable the 30 -year -old veteran who finishes with a smile:” Everyone who plays the playoffs for the first time, do not plague anyone!<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
