Three brothers attack! Antetokounmpo breaks internal strife and aims at the European Championship medal: "European Kobe" takes the lead

Antetokounmpo once again went to the European Men's Basketball Championship, and his goal was to win a medal. He has played for the Greek men's basketball team since 2014 and has been fighting for 11 years, but has not won a medal in various competitions so far. The Greek men's basketball team won twice in the European Championships and won bronze medals twice in history, but neither has anything to do with Antetokounmpo. This time, the Greek men's basketball team gathered the strongest lineup they could convene, and Antetokounmpo also ushered in the best chance to win the medal.

With a narrow victory over the Italian men's basketball team 76-74 on August 23, the Greek men's basketball team achieved a record of 6 wins and 2 losses in the warm-up match this summer. The Greek men's basketball team will also play a warm-up match with France and then determine the final 12-man roster.

In the battle against the Italian men's basketball team, the two main players of the Greek men's basketball team, Antetokounmpo and Slokas were absent. Naturalized player Taylor Dorsey scored 14 points and 4 assists, Papanicou scored 11 points, Costas Antetokounmpo scored 9 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks, Sanassis Antetokounmpo scored 7 points, and 2 of 3 three-pointers. Toriopolos scored 10 points and Karazakis scored 10 points.

Antes Brothers are all in the Greek men's basketball team. Judging from a series of warm-up matches, Antes Brothers did not come to the national team through relationships, and they can indeed play some role in the team. Costas Antetokounmpo, who once played for the Lakers, has made great progress. He showed his all-round skills in the game against the Italian men's basketball team, and the evolution of the defensive end is a big surprise. Antetokounmpo is a defensive player who has won the best defensive player in the NBA. Costas Antetokounmpo did not show his defensive strengths when he was in the NBA. In recent years, playing in Europe has made some progress in the defensive end.

The current coach of the Greek men's basketball team, Span Norris, was a little embarrassed to finally sign the 12-man: this is not a good thing for any child who cannot make it to the 12-man roster. To me, the national team is all the people who make up the national team. This is my duty as a coach. Unfortunately, I had to let some people down. I wish I could bring 13 to 14 players. ”

Spanoris also refuted the rumor that there was a conflict within the Greek men's basketball team: "I don't know what happened outside, but I know what I'm thinking inside. What I see is a group of loved kids who love to joke and who really long for success. I am more concerned about the situation within the team. I hope they are open to each other and we are in good shape internally. Everyone has the right to express their thoughts. The situation inside the team is very good. ”

Previously, a video was circulated on the Internet. Antetokounmpo summoned the Greek men's basketball team members to speak in circles. Suddenly, Antetokounmpo slapped his teammate Larenzakis in the back of the head. For a time, many people on the Internet questioned Antetokounmpo bullying his teammates.

However, Antetokounmpo did not come forward to explain. Interestingly, the Greek men's basketball team defeated Latvia 104-86 in the warm-up match on August 21. Antetokounmpo only played 15 minutes, scoring 25 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. After the game, teammates celebrating Antetokounmpo's head, and Larenzakis, who scored 14 points in the game, played very vigorously. They are also using this method to announce to the outside world that the Greek men's basketball team is not disunited.

Antetokounmpo only played one warm-up game. Compared with superstars such as Jokic and Doncic, Antetokounmpo seems to have greater privileges in the Greek men's basketball team. Spanoris said: "Giannis may only play one game, but he seems to have played every game. Overall, I am very happy with the team's progress. The team has made great progress. We have seen tremendous progress in every detail of defense and offense. ”

Antescoundrel does not seem to want to spend too much effort in the warm-up match, but just wants to make efforts in the European Championship. This may be one of his strategies. Antescoundrels helped the Greek men's basketball team to achieve fifth place in the 2015 European Championship and the 2022 European Championship. Among them, when playing in the 2015 European Championship, Spanoris was also a player of the Greek men's basketball team. Now, Span has become the head coach of the Greek men's basketball team, while Antescoundrel plays the absolute core of the Greek men's basketball team. Spanor in the age of players Rees once had the reputation of "Bryant Europe". Now he is actively striving for honors in his coaching position.

In the 2022 European Championship, Antetokounmpo set off a scoring storm, defeating Ukraine in the group stage, and he scored 41 points. However, the Greek men's basketball team was defeated by the German men's basketball team in the quarter-finals. Antetokounmpo averaged 29.3 points, 8.8 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 1.5 steals, and 0.8 blocks, making a shot 56.6%, he was crowned the scoring champion and was selected into the best team.

Most of the players of the Greek men's basketball team have been running in the national team for a long time. Objectively speaking, Antetokounmpo has been training with the team during this period, and it doesn't matter if he plays less warm-up games.

The main players of the Greek men's basketball team are Antetokounmpo, Slokas, Taylor Dorsey, Papanicolau, Mitoglo, Larenzakis and others. If Antetokounmpo's two brothers enter the final 12-man roster, then you need to compete as a substitute rotation player and you won’t play much time.

The Greek men’s basketball team suffered injuries in the game against Italy. Samodolov played for 18 minutes and scored 3 points and 4 rebounds, but in the game, he was injured in his right hand and was sent to the hospital for treatment. This may affect him entering the final 12-man roster. But the top players currently in the Greek men’s basketball team will appear in the European Championship, which is also the best opportunity for Antetokounmpo to attack the medal.
