Small counter-attack bridge on poor Benedect Varadi, no-look pass for an alley-oop to Vlatko Cancar and 13-2 Slovenia. This is a snapshot of Luka Doncic’s game against Hungary yesterday, but this could very well be the preface to his biography as well. Because once again yesterday, Luka did Luka.

He finally only needed a few minutes to score almost all of his pawns, between the end of the second quarter and the start of the third. Just enough time to take part in the collective effort which then gave Slovenia a… points lead, why run for minutes when enough to win a match. Luka Doncic’s score last night? A clever mix between distribution, Lulu multiplying the offerings under the eyes of another god of the pass, Jason Kidd, present in Cologne to drool with pleasure in front of the exploits of his colt, and scoring, between poetic drives and big buckets ten meters away. En bonus track Luka even stuck a big tape at least Hungarian of Hungarians, in bonus track Luka even managed to score this plantigrade from Dimec, yet not the most gifted in the exercise, and in the end it took less minutes for the Slovenian crack to validate his evening package. 20 points at 8/11 in shooting, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, certainly 5 stray bullets but you still have to have a little fun, and therefore this victory of 15 points on paper but 30 in practice which consolidates first place defending champions in Group B.
Slovenians who will face Bosnia later, at 5:30 p.m., to continue to warm up, to continue to fill our pockets with highlights and dreams. And no need for Lulu to slap us big 35/12/12, not yet.
