The two-time MVP ended the Suns with 50 points — laughing when the rest of the team was still counting to 10 — but did not say anything. Regardless of the buzzword of the day, Giannis Antetokounmpo did it, and then some. He was as straightforward as possible to silence his haters.

Apart from away games, the only thing the Bucks can do is do the same thing on Tuesday night. The sweetest revenge directly serves the paying fans, only to see it fail in the hands of the real MVP. It’s frightening to think about how easy it sometimes seems for this young superstar—especially Jrue Holiday and Khris Middleton. The top-heavy cast is more than enough.

This is not a “super team”, but neither is Philadelphia. They didn’t join anyone, from the dissatisfied James Harden to prying Kyle Lowry away. Part of the reason may be that the deal is not suitable for Daryl Morey, and part of the reason is that the team has been established successfully but failed to execute.

Guys, it’s hard to win in the NBA. The new kids don’t just step onto the block and start dancing in the parade. The existing champion may be transferred to another team and win — or we look at what happened this week, one of the brightest stars in league history finally won after years of taking incremental steps to complete it His ring.

The 76ers performed very tenaciously throughout the regular season and won the number one seed in the Eastern Conference. This became a sense of entitlement-strengthened after their first round of disposing of Washington. But “Ben Simmons and those damn free throws” is the story, even after winning.

Simmons’ overall fear of not getting to the free throw line to avoid free throw errors is obvious. Both Giannis and Simmons received strong support from their home fans, but only one of them brought this support to the fans in the away game. We should note that this was a cruel experience for Giannis in the playoffs. His shooting percentage was slightly less than 59%, but he rose to 66% in the finals. In the sixth game the Bucks won, they won by a ridiculous score of 17-19.

Did you see it, Ben? It’s that simple. The hardest part is not free throws, but overcoming the fear of public embarrassment after an empty ball.But this is also where Giannis becomes proficient in overcoming any anxiety he has Wire. Antetokounmpo made 85 free throws in six finals. This is only 3 FT more than the sum of his previous two series! The Hawks also played six games, and the previous series against the Nets played seven games!

The Greek freak is not the only one here to add his attempts to the charity stripe, as Simmons made 17 more shots in the Hawks series. To be fair, the previous series only played 5 games against Washington, and with more attempts at Atlanta, the percentage worsened. It’s also worth pointing out that Atlanta has entered the “Hack-a-Ben” mode quite a bit, so some of these additional attempts are not a product of Simmons’ aggressiveness, but in fact the opposite is true.

It’s a mess at best-the worst is a huge 7-foot ball.

It’s all in his head, right? The only answer is still that the 76ers simply don’t have enough time to wait and find out. They no longer believed that Simmons could simply resolve fears, let alone overcome them. This is the biggest gain here: Simmons may not be able to overcome these fears at all. This can be seen in the huge difference between Giannis’s performance against Simmons in the playoffs.

Ben is not someone you trust at all, he will continue to free throws. I’m not even sure if you believe he will reach the finish line first without other teams deliberately putting him there, which in itself is embarrassing enough. There is not a certain number of exercise videos or IG posts that will change your mind. Why? You have been on this road before, buying these videos multiple times.

There is no trust between Simmons and Joel Embiid, as evidenced by the latter’s slight reaction after this infamous pass. How does Doc Rivers trust Simmons on the offensive end? We saw him pulling Simmons late when he needed the team to make a bucket.We have already introduced how to Morey does not owe Simmons And he must be traded.

I have seen a lot of comparisons with Carson Wentz’s departure from town and the inevitable Simmons deal, and how the two followed similar paths. There is one thing in common that destroys every relationship: lack of trust. The only difference is the means to achieve the same goal, the team and the players are forced to part ways.

Wentz lost trust in an organization that refused to protect him on and off the court. Although it seems that all QBs are doing it, we know this is not true. We know that there are constant leaks from NovaCare Complex every year, which seem to linger around Wentz. The team regressed sharply last year, and it was conveniently placed on the shoulders of the MVP before the injury. Wentz saw the team’s efforts to bring in outstanding young talents failed, while Simmons got everything and then some.

The 76ers established a team in which he was the point guard and the main catalyst for the offensive, so the 76ers lost their trust in Simmons. After years of “Hack-A-Ben”, the team is still trapped by him. This is not to say that the NFL defense is full of nine people in the penalty area who dared to throw Carson 1-on-1 on his outside receiver.

Hope that Simmons can learn something from Giannis’s incredible performance in the NBA Finals. If it does happen, it is unlikely to appear in Philadelphia. So far, we have not seen too many signs that he will do this, but he is still very young.

Trust is an interesting word in our sports vocabulary. It is used to define the many reasons why a team wins or loses. In this case, this is the fundamental reason why the two stars of our city have to/will leave. Two different ways to reach the same destination, there is no trophy without trust.
