The first review of the letter Luca European Cup debut. The data are amazing. Why are the results very different?

On the second match day of the 2025 European Cup, Doncic and Antetokounmpo are undoubtedly the focus. In the two games, Luca and the letters both gave the ultimate personal performance. Among them, Luca made 7 of 14 shots, 17 of 18 free throws, scoring 34 points, 4 rebounds, 9 assists, 5 steals and 2 blocks; the letters made 14 of 20 shots, scoring 31 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal.

But the same beautiful data is completely different. On the Greek side, under the leadership of Antetokounmpo, the strong enemy of Italy was conquered; on the Slovenian side, once again bowed down in front of his old rival Poland, making Luca's all efforts vain.

has certainly resulted in many aspects.

First of all, it must be admitted that Slovenia's overall strength has been on a downward trend in recent years. At the Tokyo Olympics four years ago, this team was at the semi-finals. In Slovenia's lineup at that time, Zoran Dragic was also on the outside, and naturalized center Mike Toby was on the inside. These players were not only strong, but also had a very good understanding with Doncic.

But starting from 2021, Slovenia's lineup is worse than that of each other. To ensure Slovenia's recruitment ability, Doncic's father Sasha Doncic has become the sports director of the national team. However, the situation where father and son join together still cannot ensure the team's competitiveness.

According to previous reports, naturalized center Josh Nebo and main player Qian Chal missed Slovenia's 12-man roster. The absence of the two made Doncic and his son very unhappy, and it also seriously affected Slovenia's preparations.

In fact, before the start of the European Cup, Slovenia had already shown a very obvious decline. They played in a total of 7 warm-up matches, but their total record was only a bleak 1 win and 6 losses. Although Doncic has reshaped his body this summer, Luca has become stronger after losing weight. However, at the national team level, his weight loss is not equal to his actual results.

And Slovenia's loss to Poland in the first game of the European Cup group stage was just a continuation of their recent downturn...

Back to today's game, Doncic quickly pulled his form in the first quarter, and he blocked his old opponent Bonetka's layup at the opening stage. In the first quarter, Luca scored almost 14 points.

For games like Doncic that cheated in the first quarter, people have been accustomed to them in the NBA over the years. But Luca was so selfless in both offense and defense. This combat state was honestly not seen every night.

Unfortunately, Luca's full commitment still encountered great trouble in the face of the Polish team's iron walls. Starting from the second quarter, Poland has significantly increased the frequency of clamping against Luka. Even when there are not enough double-teams, they will use more extreme three-person clamping to limit him. In many rounds, Polish players would rather foul than give Doncic a chance to end easily.

Faced with the pincer attack, Doncic was still able to counterattack. At least in the first half, he still maintained the game at a balanced level with his personal efforts. But entering the second half, the Polish team's defensive intensity remained unabated, and the attack on the offensive end became more and more targeted. Although Luca is still gaining points, his efforts alone cannot solve all the problems.

When Polish naturalized player Royd made an exaggerated three-point shooting percentage of 7 of 8 shots, when captain Beniteka scored 23 points in cold blood and steady, when Poland once again used the concept of team basketball to make Slovenian defense full of holes, the latter's loss trend was almost the same as the European Cup knockout match three years ago...

Compared with Doncic, although Antetokounmpo is not happy every day in the Greek team. During the preparations, a reporter even photographed letters slapped his teammates in the back of his head during training.

But when the competition really starts, the Greek team's preparation for the game is obviously better than Slovenia's ability to carry the game.

During his time as a player, Spanoris was the core of the Greek men's basketball team. Now that he has become the head coach of the Greek team, his on-site command is still full of wisdom.

In the game against Italy, Spanoris obviously better predicted Italy's pincer attack against Antetokounmpo, so he significantly reduced the rounds of letters holding the ball, but increased the proportion of his off-ball move or pick-and-roll with his teammates.

It is undeniable that during the game, the letters also had several rounds of fairy balls, and in those rounds, they showed their talent level far higher than their opponents. However, most of the 31 points that Letter scored in this game were completed in cooperation with teammates. He was not exposed to the opponent's encirclement too early, and he could also switch smoothly between skills such as breaking through the basket, eating cakes at the basket, and playing singles at low positions.

Although the Italian defense put a lot of pressure on Antetokounmpo throughout the game, compared to Doncic's depression, the letters obviously had a little more calm mental preparation when dealing with the siege...
