The Luka Doncic Show. It continued today. 39 points, ten rebounds, seven assists. And that despite the fact that we also rushed to him in the tournament on him in the tournament. And yet he does what he wants. He is simply one of the best players in this planet.
Yes, he cannot be stopped either, no defense on the planet and that’s why it is not quite as bad that he has scored so well. But the Slovenes simply played incredibly well, played Tough, I think I left everything in the field that was emotionally and physically and therefore all the more important that we won the thing.
And the Slovenes were Slovenes, as we know it from the past and as it will probably never change it again. Do you want to say anything else?
No.
Rather not. We take the three of Tristan politically correctly. From the center line at the end of the third quarter. Incredibly important thing. Why? The key was somehow not yet found. I think you were seven behind. So suddenly it is only four. And suddenly faith was there. The emotionality in the quarter break was there. And suddenly there was a jerk we were looking for.
Yes, and such little things or little things, supposed little things, of course, bring a lot of joy and a lot of lightness suddenly in such a situation that is actually very serious. And apart from the three points that were super important to go into half time with a shortened lead of the Slovenes. As you just said, it just helps to get out of the team differently or after half -time.
Easy Bonga. Not an easy evening for him because Doncic will probably not have any nightmares from him. But still an extremely important man. Why? Because he does the little things and is still so incredibly valuable for the team.
He did everything. He defended Doncic. He also defended well. You just can’t contain it otherwise. But he has already worn it so much that maybe one or the other in the end no longer fell in. He has rebound. He played defense. He did all the little things. Shoots a threesome in the Fastbreak, which was extremely important in the situation. In this respect, he did all the little things that the team needs and is a guarantee of this victory.
Dennis and Franz with difficult throwing quotas today Dennis 6/20, I think, 1/8 or 1/9. At the back of a very, very important one. And Franz also with difficult odds because they made life difficult for him. But he was in the free -wire line 14 times, I think. Very, very important the German team. Found the way to the freewurfine 37 times. Shows what kind of hard work, what a thick board that was today that had to be drilled.
You won’t have it easier in the next games either. You will concentrate on Dennis and Franz because of course you are the spotting and focal point of our offense. It is all the more important to see that people like Maodo Lo Modulo jump into the breach. These are Daniel Theis in the end. And these are the positive things that such a team performance against the Slovenes has just brought me to light. That was already clear that the quality was. But of course that’s again shows that you can not only concentrate on the two. Is very positive.
And very briefly the Finns at the end. Brief outlook The three -way rate has to be better. Against Portugal already weak, even over long distances, not what we need, what we are used to. We have to scratch the 40 % again.
But the Finns are a team. Those who, I think we are a bit lying, have developed over the tournament, just made themselves, blossomed again and many players have released themselves. Walton brings incredible performances, now for the Finns. That was not so clear in the preliminary round. This is a very, very respectable opponent. But I think maybe an opponent who is more to us than now these Scrappy Slovenes.
This is what it looks like.
