Giannis Antetokounmpo: “If we win the in-season, I’ll play the money on roulette, either on black to double it or on 34.”
Giannis Antetokounmpo humorously revealed how he will “invest” the money he gets if the Bucks win the in-season tournament trophy in Las Vegas.
The Bucks defeated the Hawks 132-121, Giannis Antetokounmpo had his first triple-double of the year, but what stood out after the game was Milwaukee’s consistently good defense in the final minutes of each game. At the same time, the Greek Freak also mentioned the in-season tournament and joked about how he will “invest” the money he will receive if the Stags win the trophy of this newly formed institution, which culminates on December 9th in Los Vegas finds.
“We took the ball out of Trae Young’s hands, who was trying to make some layups down the stretch, and we forced Capela to make him layups. That made him uncomfortable. We wanted to limit Dejude Marie and Trey Yang and not allow them to do that. Get the three points.
We try to play good defense, especially before half-time and in the final minutes of the game. We can’t always be good at it. Sometimes luck is not on our side. You can defend really well and suddenly Capela hits a three-pointer. You can’t stop everything, so you have to make sure you survive even with a few threesomes.
But I feel like we always push ourselves in the last few minutes and that’s all you can ask for. As long as you know that you and your teammates are going to give everything on defense in the last 6 minutes, trust the game plan and put in extra effort, you’ll be fine. Sometimes we’ll be good, sometimes we won’t. Bad teams usually can’t do both: they don’t try and aren’t good at it. We are good at defense. We changed some things.
In the last 6 or 4 minutes we are even more focused and communicate more with each other because we know what it’s about. And we do our best to finish games. To be completely honest, I’m really happy that you all agree at the end of the games. It’s hard that this happens every 48 minutes, but at least for the last 8 minutes I feel like we’re all on the same page. I don’t want to be greedy. I wish this lasted 12 or 24 minutes, but these last 8 minutes are enough for me.
If you think about it, I wasn’t even actively involved in the plays for the last few minutes. I was in the corner. Brook (Lopez), Chris (Middleton) and Dame (Lillard) were the ones running the offense. That’s good. I’m really glad everyone contributed in the last 6 minutes.
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. I don’t know, maybe I’ll stay in Vegas if we win the in-season tournament trophy. We get money when we win too, right? Shall we play some black jack? NO. I go to roulette and bet on black to double my money. Or not, at 34. I don’t play, but I know her.
I’m excited. I hope we win the Knicks game (6/12 at 2:30) and head to Vegas for a chance to compete for a trophy. There is excitement and hype about it In-season tournament. You will see it in the next game too. Multiple owners will be here. Maybe some famous ones too. You never know. Now they’re just adding to it In-season tournament. Saturday night against the Hawks? They do not care. But he will be here on Tuesday,” Giannis Antetokounmpo reported in detail.

Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo He gave a harsh response to the question about a possible trade to another NBA club:
“I’m here. Don’t ask me that question. It’s disrespectful to me and my teammates. I wear this jersey every day.
To say I don’t want to be here is disrespectful to the organization, the coaching staff, myself and everyone who worked hard to get me on the field. Don’t ask me this question. I am her. I’m going out in this uniform. And as long as I’m here, I’ll give it my all until the last second of the match.”
On the night of December 27-28, Antetokounmpo returned to the field after his calf muscle injury and became the most productive player of the game with the Chicago Bulls – 112:103.
