Unsurprisingly, and as imagined by the Mavericks, Luka Doncic is well present in Greece to help the Slovenia to qualify for the Olympic Games of Paris 2024.
” Nothing else will satisfy us » he warns already, on the sidelines of the first match against Croatia (8 p.m.).
To do this, however, Luka Doncic and Slovenia will have to eliminate five other countries, and not the least: Croatia, but also the Dominican Republic, Egypt and New Zealand. Without forgetting, of course, Giannis Antetokounmpo's Greece.
Reproduce the scenario of the 2021 TQO
In Athens, the Greek team seems to be the favourite in this Olympic qualifying tournament (OQT), but the Dallas point guard is already dreaming of a scenario where he plays the team's executioners at home…
” I remember this match in Kaunas, during the previous Olympic Qualifying Tournament… ” says the man who compiled 31 points, 13 assists and 11 rebounds against Lithuania in July 2021. ” We played in a hall full of Lithuanians and we won. It would be nice to repeat that in this hall, in front of a noisy Greek crowd. But until then, we have a long way to go and we just have to think about the next game: Croatia, then New Zealand, and then we'll see. »
On the Slovenian side, however, we hope that Luka Doncic's physical condition will hold up, as he finished the playoffs injured and exhausted.
” We had two training sessions here in Piraeus, and before that there was a friendly match in Stozice against Brazil. So I am slowly getting used to European basketball again. ” was in any case content to declare the Super star Mavs, in order to reassure the most skeptical.
