Milwauki box star Gianis Antatoconampo did not appear to be a well-known series to the Indiana pacers on Tuesday night after the final bajar came into several changes after the final bajar.

Pacers guard Tieres Heliberton hit the game winning shot, crossed Antatoconampo and driving into the basket for a right-hand paste with a 119–118 lead and left to play with 1.3 seconds.

After the game, Antatoconampo was paying his honor to many pacemen players, but when he and Indiana Guard Benedict Mathurin hugged, things became strange and some words were seen. However, Mathurin pushed Antatoconampo away, and a dispute between the two pacers and the box took place in court.

Then, things became interesting when Antatoconampo went face to face with Heliberton’s father, who was in a stand all over the game. Again, it seems that they were just having an enthusiastic conversation, but Antatoconampo needed to pull away from Heliberton’s father by a box coach.

After the game, Antatoconampo reported what happened to the change with Heliberton’s father, claimed that he was waving a towel on him with his son’s face and cursing after the victory.

“One thing I would say that I am confident that you have to be humble in victory,” Antatoconampo said in a three -minute response to a reporter’s question on the matter. “This is the way I am. There are probably a lot of people like, ‘No, when you win the game you talk — it is a green light for you to be derogatory to someone else.’ I disagree.

“Losing a game, feelings are high, a fan – which, at this time, I felt that he was a fan, but then I realized that he was a Tieres’s father. I love Tieres, I love Tieres, I think he was a great contestant. (He) was coming to court and showing a towel (he) showing a towel (saying) (he is saying), I think that is what we do. Very, very humiliating.

“I am glad he is happy for his son – this is how you are going to feel. But coming to me and I am humiliating me and I think I think I think I think it’s completely unacceptable. It’s completely unacceptable. I am not a man who indicates fingers, because in my neighborhood, I don’t like him.”

Antetokounmpo also mentioned his late father, Charles, who said that he taught him humility.

“My father used to come to the family room and was the most respectable person ever,” said Antatoconampo. “When you come from nothing and work your whole life to sell goods on the road and your whole life is afraid of the police and you send back your country and you have to protect your children, then you create a mentality to be humble, not to humiliate your whole life, no person can do anything about you.”

The younger Heliberton was asked about his father’s actions even after the game, and he is in favor of Antatoconampo’s argument.

“I do not agree what has been transfers to him.
