Giannis Antetokounmpo is the No.1 danger for the Nets in this conference semi-final, so inevitably, the franchise is ready to do anything for the destabilize… For example, they found a way enough humiliating to make him lose his concentration on the free throw line! Except that the NBA did not like it at all …
Giannis Antetokounmpo is in great difficulty from the free throw line during these playoffs… Indeed, his percentage in the exercise has gone from a sad 68.5% in the regular season to 53.5% in the postseason! The worst part is that he even managed a rule violation that few people knew: he exceeded 10 seconds on the line.

It’s been a habit for years, the Greek Freak takes a huge amount of time off the pitch line and should be penalized more often if the referees follow the rules to the letter. To distract him, the Nets have in any case decided to play on it by displaying a stopwatch for each fault on the double MVP … And it often exceeds the 10 seconds allowed!

The Nets have understood how to destabilize Giannis Antetokounmpo when they are on the line! Unfortunately, the NBA did not at all accept this little provocation and this questioning of the refereeing body. According to New York Post, the league would have even practiced censorship!
An inside source at the NBA offices confessed that the league had ordered the Nets to stop displaying a stopwatch on the giant screen after each free throw from Giannis Antetokounmpo. The league refuses to let franchises entice fans into mockery or provocation.
The league obviously does not like people to attack its stars and referees! The Nets will therefore have to find another idea for destabilize the Greek Freak.
