There was an air of déjà vu for Luka Doncic and the Slovenia. Logically eliminated from world Cup by Canada, the Slovenian selection will therefore not see the stage of the semi-finals and, as during the last Eurobasket, its captain simply lost his nerves by being excluded in the quarter-finals…
The Mavericks player has therefore once again dropped his country in a cleaver match and, after this meeting, he necessarily reversed his expulsion, which occurred during the fourth quarter.
” Everyone knows what my frustration was. Playing for the national team is a lot of emotions. Often I don’t control myself and it bothers me », did he concede to begin with.
Then Luka Doncic to come back to what precisely made him lose his temper: “ One of the referees said to one of our players: ‘We are not going to give him the fault because he is heading towards us’ and I don’t think that’s fair. I know I complain a lot, but I don’t think that’s fair. [Les Canadiens] played physical with me, but if you say that, it’s not fair. »
No semi-final and the Olympics will have to wait…
Before the start of the competition, Luka Doncic always said he regretted his bloodshed against Poland but, barely a year later, he did not seem to have managed to take it upon himself not to unpin at the worst moment. . Especially since he was also not helped by a certain Dillon Brooks, the king of provocation…
” He played very well [14 points, ndlr] and he was very physical, as usual. A lot of people don’t like him, but I respect him for what he does and he does that stuff really well. “Reacted the Dallas All-Star, limited to 8/20 to shoot by Canada.
If this defeat prevents Slovenia from reaching the last four of a World Cup for the first time in its history, in addition to ruining its chances of direct qualification for the 2024 Olympic Games, Luka Doncic could only be a good player in the conference of press.
” Congratulations to Canada, they played a great game, it was very physical and they have one of the best players in the world “Added Luka Doncic, without citing Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (31 points, 10 rebounds). ” It was really hard to defend on him, but I’m proud of my teameveryone gave 100% and we should go back to the hotel with our heads held high. »
