Better ball movement is advocated by Giannis Antetokounmpo following Milwaukee’s 35-point loss against Sacramento.

Giannis Antetokounmpo knew exactly why the Milwaukee Bucks lost badly to the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday night, 94-129.

Giannis said the Bucks’ demise was due to their incapacity to move the ball efficiently and their failure to sufficiently counter the Kings’ defense that double-teamed them.

Milwaukee needs to be adept at reading the defense.
This season, it has been common to see Giannis draw several defenders in the post or Damian Lillard being blitzed. According to Antetokounmpo, the Bucks need to improve their attack on the double-teaming defense of the opposition.

“I know I have to move the ball, but… I understand the reason for it. You want to play, for instance, when you are consistently double-teamed in the post. You wish to influence the match. It is not enough to just pass the ball while being inactive. You must have some effect on the game. You have to overcome the double team sometimes. You just have to force things to happen sometimes.

Occasionally, when they are consistently blitzing Dame, he may keep the ball and attempt to find a gap or create an opportunity. Giannis remarked, “I understand why it’s occurring.

Milwaukee’s poor ball movement was evident in the stats, as it only had 23 assists, compared to 34 for Sacramento. This bad shooting resulted to the team’s overwhelming defeat. Additionally, Milwaukee missed their shots and did not force Sacramento to pay for sending two defenders to its two superstars. The Kings shot 53% from the field after finishing 49-for-92, while the Bucks only hit 30 of their 82 tries.

Giannis is hoping that in the upcoming games, the Bucks will make the required corrections. After a disappointing three-game journey to California, they will play the Philadelphia Sixers at home on Thursday.

“We’re going to play in the playoffs, so we’ll see in the next game.” When teams double-team us, we need to be able to defeat them from the post. When teams assault us, we need to be able to win. Locate the appropriate outlets, move to the center of the floor, attempt to spray it into the corners, and make shots. Giannis stated, “You have to figure out how to be productive no matter what the defense does.
