Excited after his three-point step-back to offer Game 2 of the Western Conference final to the Mavericks against the Timberwolves (109-108), Luka Doncic spoke to Rudy Gobert. “Son of a bitch!” You are incapable of defending on me,” the Slovenian seems to have said to the French pivot who defended against the Dallas star on this decisive shot three seconds from the end. A trash talk that the main party tried to deny at a press conference by arguing that he was speaking in Slovenian although the images show the opposite.
But this unrefined chambering did not bother the Frenchman who assured that the two players are “competitors” before adding: “there are sometimes discussions but it remains very respectful between us. » However, Gobert was not spared on the set of the show Inside The NBA, a legendary show which should disappear next year, by Shaquille O’Neal and Draymond Green.
The duo of consultants have taken a certain pleasure in tackling the Frenchman in recent weeks. Present in an interview, Doncic explained his shot against Gobert before Shaq laughed about the Frenchman’s status as best defender of the year, followed by Green and Doncic. “I can’t go fast, but I can go faster than him,” concluded the Slovenian. The Timberwolves pivot will have the opportunity to silence the critics in Game 3 on Monday.
