Doncic: It is hard to save the master in personal courage, the dilemma of playing style needs to be solved

In the group stage of the European Championship that just ended, Doncic's Slovenian men's basketball team lost to the Polish men's basketball team 95:105 and lost the first game. Compared with other NBA stars, Doncic seemed isolated and had no help. Antetokounmpo, who also participated in the European Championship, led Greece to a big victory. In comparison, Doncic's European Championship journey is probably about to end.

Today's game between Slovenia and Poland is like a replica of Doncic's previous version of the Lakers. In the first half, Slovenia only lost 1 point, but in the fourth quarter they lost 10 points. Just like in the Lakers, they were all in the second half and couldn't stand it. In terms of personal performance, Doncic has no problem at all. He scored 34 points, 4 rebounds, 9 assists, and 5 steals, 2 blocks, and 17 free throws. His personal performance was very explosive, but his plus-minus value was -10, the third lowest in the team.

Let's take a look at his specific performance first. I have to say that his strength is really strong, with a 3-pointer, which can be said to be easy to use.

Look at the ball below, it can still be scored 2+1 after the air is imbalanced. This is Doncic. If it were someone else, it would be difficult to score.

In short, Doncic's advantage is that it has very strong offensive firepower. It has to be admitted that even in the NBA, no one can compare to Doncic with his offensive talent.

But in addition to the obvious advantages, Doncic's shortcomings are also obvious. It is very simple. He cannot play without the ball. As long as he is on the court, he must hold the ball. Just like the ball below, when Doncic attacks, his teammates are basically lined up outside the 3-point line, and they are only staring away!

In addition, Doncic's shots were nearly 40% of the team. In this game, he shot 14 times and 18 free throws. Total of this game, it is equivalent to 23 shots. Adding to the ball rights of 4 mistakes, it is equivalent to 27 shots in one game, while the team's shots were 62 times, accounting for as much as 43%.

In addition, the reason why Slovenia lost today was in a sense that it was targeted by the referee. From a certain perspective, it has a lot to do with Doncic. Just like after he scored 3 points in the following ball, he thought he was fouled by the opponent, but the referee did not boast.

Then, Doncic began to complain repeatedly. What I want to say here is that not to mention the foul, Doncic's long-term and frequent complaints will definitely make the referee angry. Even no matter how good the referee is, he cannot withstand the repeated complaints, so this will make the referee's balance tilt towards the opponent.

So, why Slovenia lost the game is clearer.

First, Slovenia's style of play is basically 1 hit and 4 watch. Doncic's personal performance is very outstanding, but it has no integrity.

Second, the other teammates in Slovenia are indeed almost meaningful. This is nothing to say, but it is not too bad. After all, in 2017, they also won the European Championship with a record of 9 wins. The so-called lean camel is bigger than a horse.

Third, Doncic's too many complaints made the referee angry. After all, even though he had already won 18 free throws, there were still so many complaints. I believe that no referee could stand it.

So Doncic's current style of play really needs to be changed. When he was in the Lakers, this was the case. Doncic could score more than 30 points per game, but the team could not win the ball. Now when he is in the national team, the same is true. Unless he is equipped with a very strong inside line and an outside defense gate, the lineup is a little worse, and the team where Doncic is located will definitely not win the ball.

But then again, if Doncic changes his playing style, new problems will arise, because he cannot play without the ball, so he is equivalent to a side effect on the court, and his power will be greatly reduced. This problem is simply unsolvable.
