Average of 27+10+4! Antetokounmpo s dominant performance in the European Championship won bronze, and he was excited and frank after the game

Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo was emotional after leading Greece to defeat Finland led by Lauri Markkanen in the third place in the European Championships Sunday afternoon local time, winning the bronze medal.

In this European Championship, Antetokounmpo always dominates the arena. He averaged 27.3 points, 10.6 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of up to 69%, and eventually led the team to the third place.

At the time, Antetokounmpo reportedly reviewed this extraordinary achievement after his victory. He is well aware of the ups and downs of his life, and overcoming numerous obstacles means participating in the competition and achieving success.

"I have heard all the voices in my life, and experienced ups and downs and praises. As one of the top basketball players, I don't say much, I only prove it with actions. I don't disguise, love basketball instead of media exposure, do not pursue fame, just enjoy the sport purely." Antetokounmpo said, "Sometimes you perform poorly and you will suffer criticism. But at this moment, it's more like a relief. Because I fight for the country, correct myself, and glory for my family- —I finally did it! I am extremely proud. This is one of the greatest achievements of athletes. I know I have won the NBA championship, but it is an incomparable feeling to represent the national team and fight for the people who have devoted their blood to this team. This may be the greatest achievement in my life so far. "

The journey after the European Championship

Antetokounmpo was excited to win the bronze medal in the European Championship for Greece. After leading the national team to the quarterfinals of the 2024 Olympic Games, winning medals in European events is of great significance to him.

Next he will rest until the end of this month and report to the Bucks training camp in October. The team made lineup adjustments during the offseason, and while cutting Damian Lillard, players such as Miles Turner and Cole Anthony were introduced to enhance the depth of the lineup.

As the Eastern Conference pattern opens up, if everything goes well, the Bucks are expected to go further in the playoffs. For Antetokounmpo, this will be a good opportunity for him to reach the NBA championship again since winning the 2021 championship.

The Bucks' first preseason game will face the Miami Heat at 7:30 am on October 7, and the regular season opening match will face the Washington Wizards at 8 am on October 23.
