25+10+3! Giannis' debut was explosive! Finally, the super weapon has returned

Unbelievably strong, unbelievably strong.

In his national team debut this year, Giannis scored 25 points, pulled down 10 rebounds, provided 3 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks in just 15 minutes, shooting 9 of 12, guiding Greece to a 104-86 win over Latvia.

A block off the backboard.

A spinning fadeaway jump shot.

Standard procedure, a one-man charge breaking through defenders for a two-handed dunk.

After the game, his teammates performed a special ritual to welcome Giannis back to the national squad.

Lorenzakis, who was slapped on the back of the head by Giannis earlier, was the most active in the "gang-up" on the Greek Beast, dispelling rumors of discord between the two sides.

This year’s EuroBasket will take place from August 27 to September 15. Greece was placed in Group C, with Spain, Italy, Georgia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Cyprus as their group opponents.

Giannis has always been committed to national team competitions. In the last EuroBasket in 2022, he averaged 29.3 points, 8.8 rebounds, 4.7 assists, and 1.5 steals with a 56.6% shooting rate, exiting in the quarterfinals; at the Paris Olympics last year, he averaged 25.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 1 steal with a 67.8% shooting percentage, also leaving in the quarterfinals; at the 2019 World Cup, he averaged 15.5 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 steals, with a round of 16 exit.

It’s clear that Giannis on the FIBA stage is evolving just like in the NBA. Once he adapts to the rules and pace, he becomes an unstoppable super weapon with dominant impact on both offense and defense.

Last NBA season, Giannis averaged 30.4 points, 11.9 rebounds, 6.5 assists, and 1.2 blocks per game in the regular season with a 60.1% shooting rate; in the playoffs, he averaged 33 points, 15.4 rebounds, 6.6 assists, and 1 block, shooting 60.6%.

Due to the Bucks’ limited championship prospects in recent years and Lillard’s departure, there were rumors this summer that the Greek Freak might leave, but he ultimately chose to stay loyal to Milwaukee.

His current contract runs through the summer of 2028, with salaries of $54.13 million, $58.46 million, and $62.79 million over the next three seasons. As long as he remains committed, the Bucks are expected to offer him an even bigger new deal soon, potentially crafting a one-city legend story!
