On April 28, Beijing time, the Bucks ushered in the fifth game of the first round of the playoffs with the Bulls, and the Bucks, who had an 18-point lead in the first half, finally won the opponent 116-100, eliminated the Bulls with an aggregate score of 4-1, and successfully reached the semifinals. In this game against the Bulls' weak penalty area, Alphabet Brother also ushered in a strong outbreak, in the 30 minutes of playing time, 11 of 15 shots scored 33 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists, +18 plus or minus is also the highest in the team.
Buckley praised The Alphabet Brother, analogously to the most humble superstar outside of Duncan
After the game, former NBA star and current basketball commentator Charles Barkley also talked about the alphabet brother, and said: "Besides Duncan, he is the most humble and quiet superstar I have ever seen, he is a great player, he only knows how to train well, just want to play hard, you have to appreciate this." 」 And this is not the first time That Barkley has expressed his appreciation for Brother Alphabet, as early as last season, after the Bucks eliminated their old club Suns 4-2 in the Finals, Barkley also praised Brother Alphabet in the show: "If you are not happy for Antetokounmpo, then you have a problem, he represents all the great things about basketball." ”
Before entering the NBA, there was no resume, and The alphabet brother used his efforts to go to the hall of superstars
It is true that some of the small actions of the alphabet brother on the field are quite controversial, but aside from this, the alphabet brother really does not have any black spots, and Barkley can compare the legendary star like Duncan who has not been black with the letter brother, which is enough to show that he really appreciates the letter brother. As the 13-year NBA first-round No. 15 show, Before entering the NBA, Alphabet Brother did not have a particularly bright resume, did not play in the NCAA, nor played for the top teams in the European League, but it was such a humble "underdog", who really relied on his own hard work to step by step to the ranks of the top stars in the league today.
Compared with other stars are the kind of people who like to amplify words, on the court is very easy to have a quarrel with the referee, it is almost difficult for us to see these things in the alphabet brother, since the 13-14 season into the NBA, the alphabet brother is silently improving, trying to improve himself, from a dispensable role player at the beginning of his career, step by step into two regular season MVP, one FMVP winner, the effort behind the alphabet brother, I am afraid that only he himself knows best.
Extremely high self-requirements + take the initiative to participate in public welfare, the alphabet brother really did not have to be black
As the NBA late kobe bryant loyal little fan, in 17 years when Kobe Bryant launched a "challenge" to several active stars on his social media, the alphabet brother was not mentioned by Kobe at the first time, but he himself was very positive, immediately a bit Kobe Bryant, and wrote "I am still waiting for you to challenge me", and then Kobe bryant also forwarded the letter brother This tweet, and the text wrote "MVP", it is the inspiration of the idol, so that the letter brother began to continue to improve himself in the future, He finally won his first MVP of his career in the 18-19 season and succeeded in the following season.
This matter can clearly see that the alphabet brother has very high requirements for himself, and after the success of fame, the alphabet brother is not like other superstars on the big card, is still approachable, in the new crown epidemic just broke out 2 years ago, he not only took the initiative to donate 100,000 yuan to the Bucks home staff, but also to some charities to donate their own love (also donated hundreds of thousands of dollars), such a player who shows his superstar charm on and off the court can be so appreciated by a big mouth like Barkley. It's not hard to understand.
