Beaten with the Bucks tonight in Philadelphia, Giannis Antetokounmpo will not keep very happy memories of his time in the City of Brotherly Love. Throwback to the complicated evening of the Greek Freak.
25 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists. For ordinary NBA players, this line of stats would be synonymous with a brilliant and incredible game. For Giannis Antetokounmpo, it’s an evening like any other. Well, not quite… More than a defeat in Philadelphia, the Greek Freak experienced many misadventures last night.
On the ground first, it is impossible not to mention this ordeal on the throwing line. 4/15 for the Daims star, who is currently having his worst statistical season in this area. It’s all the more infuriating when you know that Milwaukee has lost… 8 points. A little info that will undoubtedly amuse our readers and their taste buds. The Sixers had an offer in place that if a Bucks player missed two shots in a row, fans at the Wells Fargo Center could get free chicken. Suffice to say that they got on well…

Losing confidence in shooting, mistreated by a Joel Embiid in big flagrant foul mode (1 or 2?), Giannis gradually came out of his match. He will only score two small points over the entire money time… Complicated under these conditions to hope for victory for Milwaukee, even if the Bucks were in the match almost to the end.
Joel Embiid was hit with a flagrant 1 foul for striking Giannis in the mid section.

If the sporting aspect will obviously be mentioned in the early morning in the specialized media, a post-game incident may cause a lot of talk. While he wanted to make a few throws after the game to (probably) erase his bad evening series, Giannis Antetokounmpo took the lead with a Sixers employee who blocked the basket with a ladder. The Greek then simply cleared said ladder with a bang. An image that is already around the web and which perfectly symbolizes the annoyance of the Freak after the match. There is no doubt that this episode will be widely commented on by both sides in the coming hours.

Clumsiness in throwing, discreet end of the match, defeat and headache with Philadelphia staff, Giannis Antetokounmpo’s evening was not easy. Attention to the next opponents of Milwaukee, an angry Freak is a Freak who can send very heavy.
