NBA – Big Tension at Bucks: Giannis’s lunar attitude towards his coach..
Didn’t expect it to be so serious
The Bucks know that the road will be long until the playoffs, that they will have time to progress, but frustration is already rearing its ugly head in Wisconsin.
The proof with the lunar attitude of Giannis Antetokounmpo against his coach Adrian Griffin.
The Bucks are not having such a bad start to the season when we know the huge upheavals experienced this summer.
Indeed, Giannis Antetokounmpo and his historic partners must not only get used to the method of a new coach after spending 5 years under the orders of Mike Budenholzer, but they must also integrate Damian Lillard.
The margin for improvement may be enormous, but Milwaukee still has a record of 10 wins for 5 losses, which is quite correct.
It will obviously take more to dream of a title in the spring, but hope is far from having left the fans.
The observation is not only valid for the purely sporting aspect, but also in terms of attitude.
Giannis’ anger at Adrian Griffin
Because the frustration already seems to be present among some, and in particular the Greek Freak.
A few weeks ago, he made a huge rant against his partners, whom he accused of looking for excuses in defeat.
This Wednesday, against the Celtics, he simply defied the authority of Adrian Griffin by refusing to leave the field…
Giannis did not want to come out of the game, waving off Adrian Griffin trying to bring in Bobby Portis. Griffin had to push Portis onto the floor and he and Giannis had an exchange on the sidelines. Giannis stayed at the scorer's table and quickly subbed back in for Lopez

Giannis didn’t want to go out, he ignored Adrian Griffin when he wanted to bring in Bobby Portis.
Griffin had to push him down the field, and they tangled with Giannis. The latter remained at the edge of the field and quickly replaced Brook Lopez

Giannis Antetokounmpo is a competitor and he wanted to help his team on the pitch… But the best way to win matches is still to trust your coach and listen to him.
If the superstar doesn’t respect Adrian Griffin’s authority, how will the latter be able to get his message and ideas across to the rest of the group?
Giannis Antetokounmpo probably didn’t think he was doing wrong, but the message sent back is quite terrible.
He clearly challenges his coach’s decisions and does as he pleases, which could destabilize the locker room.
