For the third round of the day, the seventh of the weekend, Slovenia did the job against Italy and therefore joined the quarter-finals. It will be on Wednesday against Germany, it will be another pair of sleeves, but tomorrow is another day. Ah yes, and the Slovenes have Luka Doncic.
There are two ways to win a basketball match.
Doing it like 2014 Spurs, Champagne basketball and extra-pass do you want it here. Or win thanks to Luka Doncic, exceptional soloist who still magnifies everything around her.
The Slovenes must thank we do not know who every morning for having this damn Luka in them. Today even more because if the men of Sekulic have generally made the job, it is overwhelmingly the leader of the Lakers who decided to the fate of this eighth finals. A figure to support this point? At half-time Slovenia led 50-40, and Luka Doncic had already scored… 30 points. Oh well, okay.
One hand in the face, two three or four is the same, step back tah la gen z and fadeways to make us wake Kobe, and a literally disgusted Italian defense, that’s for the summary of this first half, at the end of which Italy was in contact thanks to a large second quarter in attack, especially from afar.
The second half will be less spectacular statistically with “only” 12 more pawns for Lulu, Bouh Le Nullos, and despite a shattering return from the Italians thanks to a few big fontecchio shots and the slaughter of Saliou Niang, the Slovenes will finally have the last word by managing the last minute better. Victory 82-77, heading Germany on Wednesday in quarters, it will be low-thousand!
Slovenia goes to the quarterfinals!
Victory 84-77 against Italy with 42 points from Luka Doncic (30 at MT 😭), it will fight strong with Germany on Wednesday! pic.twitter.com/LmoaQ6XmYQ
