Didn t foul on Antetokounmpo? Turkish head coach: I hope the referee won t miss his offensive foul

September 11th, in the quarter-finals of the Men's Basketball Team that Greece beat Lithuania 87-76, Antetokounmpo made 9 of 15 shots, 0 of 1 three-pointers and 11 of 16 free throws to score the highest 29 points in the game.

However, after the game, Greek head coach Spanoris still said that Antetokounmpo did not receive the respect the referee deserved and had missed judgments many times.

And their opponent in the next game, the head coach of the Turkish men's basketball team expressed his hope that the referee would pay attention to some actions of Antetokounmpo's attack: "Spanoris said that Giannis had few free throws, but he did 16 times yesterday. So this (Spanoris put pressure on the referee) is a smart move. However, in many previous games, I saw Antetokounmpo's many balls that could be used for offensive fouls but didn't."
