"If you want to beat Slovenia, the number one job is to stop Luka Doncic. Germany, who will be aiming to do just that in the EuroBasket quarterfinals, know exactly the threat the Los Angeles Lakers star poses. "You can't stop him. You have to find ways to beat the team," Germany point guard Maodo Lo said ahead of the match. "We'll see how much we can limit him. We'll have a few ideas," added interim head coach Alan Ibrahimagic."
"In his debut season, he averaged 21.2 points, seven rebounds, and six assists per game earning him the NBA Rookie of the Year award. In his 450 NBA regular-season games, Doncic has averaged 28.6 points, 8.6 rebounds, and 8.2 assists per game. He has achieved a triple-double over 80 times, something most NBA players achieve only a few times, if at all, in an entire career."
Germany plans to focus on limiting Luka Doncic as the primary route to beating Slovenia in the EuroBasket quarterfinals, acknowledging that stopping him outright is unrealistic. Doncic is the offensive centerpiece, posting 42 points and 10 rebounds against Italy and averaging 34 points, 8.3 rebounds, 7.2 assists and 3.2 steals per game during the tournament. He won the EuroLeague with Real Madrid at 18, earned NBA Rookie of the Year after a 21.2/7/6 debut season, and averages 28.6 points, 8.6 rebounds and 8.2 assists over 450 NBA games with over 80 triple-doubles. Only his free-throw percentage leaves room for improvement, and his defensive game has faced criticism.
