Serge Ibaka knew he was going to be transferred last week. The challenge was to know where. ” I will play with the defending champions. I was happy when I heard it was the Bucks “, reacted the former interior of the Clippersthe centerpiece of a four-team exchange.
Of all the players involved in this exchange, he is the one with the most experience in the championship. ” Serge Ibaka has a very, very impressive CV, he played at a very, very high level. Champion. International. A great player who has played in many great teams. We feel that he will really help us on different levels“, is persuaded Mike Budenholzernow at the head of a workforce with ten NBA champions.
The Bucks technician hasn’t forgotten the year the Brazzaville native won his own ring. It was two years before the coronation of Milwaukee, in 2019. The interior then evolved alongside Kawhi Leonard and the Raptors who had released these same Bucks in the conference final, despite two first matches won by Milwaukee.
” Winning the title kinda opens your eyesjudge the interior. You understand exactly what it takes to win. It’s like you know the formula. To stay true to this, Serge Ibaka intends to give his new team the benefit of his defensive qualities. ” I can provide communication, toughness and protect the racquet. It’s something that I love. “
A nice defensive pair with Giannis
He will not be the only one in Milwaukee since Giannis Antetokounmpo, whom he considers ” one of the best circle protectors “, also likes to protect the opposing team in the racket. ” It’s going to be a good thing for both of us at the same time. The thing I’m sure of is that we’re going to ‘fight’ to see who’s going to protect the circle. Because I want to do it and I know he likes it too, so we have to choose! It’s gonna be fun. “
Probably less for their opponents who will have to face the best defender of the year 2020 and a player named three times in the league’s best defensive five with an average of 2 career blocks. “ Our identity is defensive. The defense is anchored in us, he can contribute to it in many ways. It’s so versatile in that regard that it’s a great choice for us. “Judge Brook Lopez.
” With his ability to move, protect the circle and be physical, just like Brook and Bobby (Portis), it feels like there are a lot of possible directions, a lot of different players that you can mobilize “Enthuses his coach, who will have to review his internal rotations with the imminent return of his titular pivot. ” It will be up to us to figure out how best to use everyone. Playing big is sometimes really positive for us, but we have the versatility to play smaller. The more options, the better.“
