Behind its collective and five players with more than 10 points, Venezuela has long hung against Slovenia.
But the man-orchestra Luka Doncic was already ready to make his festival. With his favorite partner, Mike Tobey, whom he found on a first blind pass in traffic, the Dallas star did a lot of damage.
Result: 37 points at 11/18 in shooting, the physical power and technique of “Luka Magic” still being a very difficult equation for opponents to solve, despite his clumsiness from afar (2/9). Adding to that his 7 rebounds, 6 assists and his 13/14 in free throws, we get a nice 39 evaluation for the star of Jordan Brand.
And above all a first victory (100-85) to start this 2023 World Cup.
