Yiannis: “Even with an ankle on the ground, it’s a win”

Giannis Antetokounbo explained in detail:

For what he thought when he played against a team that plays strong defense: “I was just trying to find the pitches that suit me. We’ve played a lot of minutes and we’re tired. Over time it becomes more difficult to make the moves you want against strong opponents. You have to play with the contact but keep going what you know

I think there is often a lot of contact. I don’t want to complain and play, but it doesn’t make it any easier when you’re tired of back-to-back games. “But you just have to play and be mentally strong to help your team.”

For Holiday tagging Jaren Jackson at the end of the game: “It’s important that he can get 5 positions, especially when we have other players on the floor who can play with changes in defense. The Grizzlies have one of the most explosive players in the NBA, Morand. “It’s important that we have Trou who can tag anyone.”

About how he’ll feel when Holiday’s back: “It’s incredible. I’m glad he’s back and finding his rhythm. It will help us on both sides of the parquet. I’m happy because he’s one of our leaders“.

For the value of Holliday’s return: “Even with… an ankle, vacationing on the floor is a win. Or even for two minutes. Obviously having it on the ground at the end of the season is crucial because he can make some decisions in place of me and Middleton. But he also helps us a lot defensively because he marks one of the opponent’s best players while also getting rebounds“.

On how it feels when Brooke Lopez starts working out: “He’s good looking. But he’s always with us. He comes to the races. He plays with his dinosaur, he reads his book, he jokes, he rides his bike in training. I don’t know how close he is to returning stands.” but he looks better“.

About distinguishing Brooke from Robin Lopez who are twins: “I can tell them apart, not just because I’ve played with them. My partner Maria grew up with them. Those who know her say Brooke Lopez is the cutie. Whenever I see her, I just see who’s prettier and I know it’s Brooke (laughs). I’m just having fun. It has to be shaved anyway.”

For the performance of George Hill: “If you play hard, the gods of basketball will reward you and the ball will find you. If you take a shot, you get a rebound. Better always play with energy. If you play with energy you will always be rewarded in some way.”.

For Yes Morand: “I really like it. I’ve loved it since it came into the league. He’s an incredible player, he’s playing well and improving every year. Involves your fellow players in the game, creates a culture in Memphis. His and the Grizzlies’ future is bright. He is one of the best point guards in the NBA“.
