Antetokounmpo s best game may become a masterpiece, the next stop is the four major cities, and the Lakers are also here

When Giannis Antetokounmpo scored an epic triple-double with 30 points, 20 rebounds and 13 assists in the first round G5, the Bucks were defeated by the Pacers 118-119 overtime and stopped in the first round for three consecutive years.

The two-time MVP has delivered dominant data averaging 33 points, 15.4 rebounds and 6.6 assists this season's playoffs, but it cannot cover up the collapse of the Bucks' system - he was not present, with the Bucks net loss of 11 points, and their offensive efficiency plummeting to the fifth from the bottom in the league.

The separation of personal heroism and team disability has become the last straw that broke Antetokounmpo's loyalty.

The Bucks' defeat began with structural defects, first of all, the dual-core incompatibility. Lillard suffered a torn Achilles tendon in just three games of his return, and his pick-and-roll cooperation with Antetokounmpo never met expectations.

The second is the issue of salary space. Antetokounmpo's contract of 175 million + Lillard's salary of 112 million will lock in the space, while Kuzma (averages 6 points per game in the playoffs) and other signings completely failed.

According to Howard Beck, a reporter from The Ringer, if Antetokounmpo applies for a deal, Los Angeles (Lakes/Clippers), New York (Knicks), Miami and Chicago will become popular next players.

From the 15th overall pick in 2013 to the 2021 team leader Antetokounmpo once vowed to "become Nowitzki of the Bucks." However, the first round of elimination for three consecutive years, short-sighted operations of management (such as trading Holiday and Middleton) and Lillard's serious injury had no hope of winning the championship, which made loyalty face realistic torture.

Critic reporter Mark Stein bluntly said: "Milwaukee may be forced to rebuild, and it is only a matter of time before Antetokounmpo leaves."

If Antetokounmpo leaves the team, his choice may reshape the NBA territory. The rumors of Antetokounmpo's departure are essentially the eternal contradiction between "superstars and small football market" - even if he uses historical data of 33+15+7 to carry the Bucks forward, Milwaukee's market size and lineup defects still make his dream of championship full of uncertainty.

The last game of loyalty and ambition may start a new round of power revolution in the NBA.
