The men's basketball group stage of the Olympic Games continued, and today Greece played a matchup with Spain, and Greece lost 77-84 to Spain. Although Antetokounmpo still performed well in this game, he scored 27 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists, shooting 12 of 17. But his teammates were not able to step up in time to share the pressure for him. In addition to Antetokounmpolo, only Toliopoulos, who came off the bench, scored in double figures.

Spain, on the other hand, had four players score in double figures. The overall attack of the Greece team relied entirely on Brother Alphabet alone. Spain, on the other hand, were a more holistic team, shooting 15-of-31 from beyond the three-point line today and shooting a whopping 48.4 percent. Greece were not able to respond from the outside, and the gap between the two teams' outside players was very clear.

The Spain team is very aware of the power of Brother Alphabet, so when defending Brother Alphabet, they always use two or three people to defend. They tried to keep him out of the game and keep him out of the paint. After Brother Alphabet received the ball inside, the Spain team also defended with two or three people in the bag, and almost many of the balls were scored against two people's defense. He would pass to the outside when he was caught in the middle, but his outside teammates couldn't shoot those open three-pointers, which made him feel aggrieved.

There is also the fact that Greece does not have a good point guard to create opportunities for Antetokounmpo. When Brother Alphabet and the guard play blocking and dismantling, the defender is not able to deliver the ball to Brother Alphabet in time. So much so that Brother Alphabet could not receive the ball for a long time in the second half of the fourth quarter today, and when Brother Alphabet did not have the ball in his hand, the Spain team achieved its goal. Spain's aim is to let other players dominate the attack.

Therefore, there is a great sense of disparity when Brother Alphabet plays in the national team. When he played for the Bucks, the guard next to him was Lillard. So when he was playing with Lillard, the other party didn't dare to pinch him at all. Because Lillard will get a very easy open shot. And when Brother Alphabet and Lillard play blocking and dismantling, because Lillard also has a very strong outside shooting threat, the opponent will even adopt the strategy of trapping Lillard, and at this time, Brother Alphabet also has a very easy opportunity to attack the basket. But all this familiar style of play does not work at all in the national team, and in the final analysis, it is because the gap between the defenders is too big. Therefore, no matter how good his personal ability is, he can't beat the opposite team alone.
