Giannis Antetokounmpo Postgame Press Conference | 2.4.24

ER can more water in this ER closer thank you we go um I think you started the day on the injury report with a little KNE Tenon itis Dame had um an ankled so just how did how did you feel today and did that kind of affect you at all in terms

Of just what what you’re able to do uh no uh obviously back to back played a lot of uh minutes yesterday I think 39 40 minutes tough game oh you know the schedule did not help two and two and a half hour flight got to the hotel around 2: a.m. early

Game today you know that definitely does not help we’ve had kind of a tough schedule that’s not excuse we got to take care of our body do whatever we can you know lift weights recover Etc ET Etc but no I was just can have a little bit

More water in the footbath place um but um try to do try to do what I you know I can do just have the team um that’s side schedule wise did it did you did you feel it a little bit fourth quarter as they’re getting the Run they’re at home

That energy is kind of going the wrong way for you all in terms of just what you no I I didn’t I don’t think it was energy I think if we didn’t make shots like you know there was a lot of wide open shots that we didn’t

Make you know now if you make one or two the momentum stops we have whole different game that’s pretty much it and there was there were make shot made some tough one L Marin won from the corner k l won from the corner then um again Mark and one

From the left side you know um that made some tough ones was able to you know get back to the game and then once the guy back in the game they control the game um wasn’t able to you know um be us when you know when your leg start to

Go sometimes you miss those open jump shots as a team not not you um does that at some point do you think okay me too everybody sure but does that make you think like okay we got to change our approach a little bit try to do anything

Differently or is it just keep doing the process how we know it should go and those shots will go uh you know I think that’s the one of the toughest thing of um being a leader like do you do you you know take it uh

Upon yourself or do you like keep on you know trust the process and Trust the system and Trust what we’ve been doing all game and there’s sometimes that you have to do that uh and sometimes you just got to trust I feel like you know the whole game guys wide open uh they

Were showing so much help and guys like the whole game we had W wide open shots and and in the game we made few of them and later in the game we we couldn’t make nothing you know so um but the approach doesn’t change like you have to

Keep on playing the right way and I think we played the right way we just missed a lot of shots um in the last eight minutes one thing that D mentioned is that he feels like recently it you guys are really putting in the effort on the defensive end yes that and because

Of that maybe the legs are going a little bit quicker and he’s got to think about okay maybe the rotation gets a little bit bigger or you know I give guys a little bit more rest so they can keep playing hard is that something I agree I definitely agree I feel like we

Um from practice like because we’re adding stuff and everybody’s excited and you know everybody you know sees what we’re trying to accomplish here and uh they’re excited of things that we’ve we we can do as a team and how better we can get and like you know in practice

People are going faster and running up and down and obviously you know having a new coach stuff you got to like kind of show What You’re Made Of and what you can do you know um you know when shoot arounds guys are more uh aggressive you know um shoot

More cut more play harder we have longer shoot on because we’re adding stuff and then you go to the game and you’re like kind of like a little bit gas I’m I’m not going to lie but um at the end of day you find that happy balance right

Now it doesn’t matter and I hope everybody in this Lo room feels the same way that I feel it does not matter there’s so many things that we are doing right now that we are getting better and the moment everything clicks and our legs are there and our minds are there

And guys are healthy and we are you know everybody locked in um I think it’s going to go very well I really do believe you know um obviously I would love to win in Utah it’s one of the toughest place to win I believe uh but we did so many good things

Today uh and the only reason we didn’t win wasn’t because we didn’t execute the game plan the right way or we didn’t not defend as hard it was because we didn’t make shots at the end um those shots I believe I trust my teamm is they going

To go in but we have to keep on working we are going to be a little bit yes you know tough road trip man we are going to Phoenix we play in two days then we stay in Phoenix then we arrive and walk at 56 p.m. and then next two days we have

Minnesota Charlotte and then we have a game a day game day and then we have again back to back you like it’s a very very hard uh schedule but when everything when everything uh settle down we are going to be very very fine I really do believe I believe we are

Training TOS the right direction um real quick I what I guess I know you were hit in the face so maybe you didn’t see but just what with with colins drive on you looked like his shoulder caught you um so what did you feel and then obviously Malik um felt a

Certain way about that and wanted to kind of stand up for you yeah no you know appreciate my my teammate standing up for me um I just I just felt something I don’t know what what it was if a shoulder or the elbow I just feel something hit in my face

Um but I don’t know what happened afterwards I was on the floor um I don’t know what happened was that double Tech what was it double Tech or yeah but uh again I you know we have to we have to have one another’s back no matter what good

Or bad win or lose we have to have one another’s back and this what we are doing right now um yeah thanks
