\"GiannisBucks must compose without Damian Lillard<\/strong>victim of a venous thrombosis on the shoulder. In fact, Milwaukee finds himself without his main leader, capable of organizing the game for his teammates. A role that Giannis Antetokounmpo<\/strong> Encompted to perfection this night, during the duel between Sixers and Bucks. <\/p>\n

And the Greek released an extraordinary performance with 35 points, 17 rebounds and especially 20 assists, a career record for the interior of Milwaukee.<\/p>\n

“I'm not going to lie, I love having the ball”<\/em> Avoue Giannis Antetokounmpo<\/a> After this incredible performance. “But when you are the one who has the most ball, you just have to make the right decisions for the team. This is what I try to do most of the time, whether for me or for my teammates. \u00bb\u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n

“If you are in the right place, I don't need to see you, I will find you”<\/h3>\n

Since the injury of Damian Lillard, Doc Rivers wants the Greek to organize the entire Milwaukee attack, to allow his teammates to find open shots. A strategy that worked well against Philadelphia since the Bucks drew 51% at 3-point (16\/31).<\/p>\n

“Doc (Rivers) said: Giannis must think as a creative interior”, <\/em>explained the assistant Darvin Ham<\/a> Replacing Doc Rivers (sick) this Thursday. \u201cIt is already built in this way, so it is not so much a challenge for him. Now, it's up to him to understand the organization, to be sure that everyone is in the right place, to find his teammates in the right pace and to move the ball at the right time. \u00bb\u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n

Accustomed to challenging the Nick Nurse teams, the “Greek Freak” knew that the Sixers were going to try to make him drop the ball. And he was therefore able to anticipate the aid …<\/p>\n

“Giannis said to everyone: 'If you are in the right place, I don't need to see you, I will find you. I will launch out blind passes. I will trust you to be there '. And this confidence was completely present tonight “<\/em>details Brook Lopez on the mentality of his teammate.<\/p>\n

A performance “worthy of a video game”<\/h3>\n

With its 35 points, 17 rebounds and 20 assists, Giannis Antetokounmpo achieved an unprecedented performance in the NBA. Never had a player managed a match at more than 35 points, 15 rebounds and 20 assists in history …<\/p>\n

\u00ab It was crazy. These are figures worthy of a video game \u00bb<\/em> can only see Gary Trent Jr.<\/p>\n

Same bell sound on the side of Pat Connaughton<\/strong> : “By being his teammate for seven years, I could see all the caps he has crossed and the performance of this evening seems to be one of so many others, which is ridiculous, but who says a lot about the player he is. It is a historical performance for a player who is just as much. \u00bb\u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n

Thanks to this incredible performance by Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Bucks (42 victories, 34 defeats) are continuing a second victory in a row and can always hope to take fourth place of the Pacers (45 victories, 31 defeats) to have the advantage of the field in the first round of the playoffs.<\/p>\n
