Victorious once morest the French team at the end of the followingnoon, Slovenia can say a big thank you to Luka Doncic. The star of the selection delivered a legendary and historic performance to offer the first place in Group B to his country.
Already fabulous to calm Germany yesterday, Luka Doncic did it once more. Small problem: it was our Blues who this time served as a punching bag for the Mavs prodigy. Did the native of Ljubljana circle this date in his personal diary? Following the match lost once morest France at the Olympics a year ago, that would not be surprising. So here we are with an unleashed Lulu who crushes everything in her path. His performance today? Huge, incredible, indecent, monstrous, take whatever adjective you want and it will work perfectly. Penetrations, fadeaways, and ones, step back 3s, perfect passes for unmarked teammates, Doncic offered us his entire repertoire. He enjoyed displaying French interiors on every switch in the first half, he also, of course, released a few shots that are closer to UFO than human. Stop everything!

Of course, some would say that the refereeing gave the star a few extra shots, but you have to give Doncic what belongs to Doncic: he was extraordinary. Each time the Blues have given a boost to take the momentum, he has always been there to calm our hopes. And to think that he is only 23 years old… The tricolor defense nightmare in a few figures: 47 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 15/23 shooting, 6/11 three-pointers. It is obviously the best performance on this EuroBasket 2022, it is also a record in the modern era sincehe surpasses the Greek Nikos Galis, author of 46 points in 1983. For the absolute record, it belongs to Eddy Terrace, a Belgian who had planted… 63 points in 1957. We said he was a little bothered by a wrist, there he finished the match with his right hand bandaged, and yet the magic of the prodigy remains the same. No doubt the recent performances of Nikola Jokic and Giannis Antetokounmpo at the Euro gave him additional motivation. A little game of who will smear his opponent the most. Surprised by Bosnia at the start of the tournament, Slovenia therefore quickly rectified the situation in the wake of their brilliant leader. After Germany yesterday, the French team had to bite the dust. Enough to get first place in the group and recover a very catchable opponent in the round of 16. If Luka “Magic” stays at this level, the quest for a back-to-back for Slovenia can quickly become a reality.
Luka Doncic was unplayable once morest the Blues and at the same time fills the books of EuroBasket history. We wish good luck to those who will be on his way to the round of 16.
