Doncic: The Lakers training intensity is very high, which can help us improve our condition

The Los Angeles Lakers conducted daily training during training camp. After the training, the team's backcourt core Luka Doncic was interviewed by reporters on the side of the training ground. In the interview, he also talked about the team's head coach JJ Redick's super training intensity and the role of the men's basketball European Championship this summer in keeping him in shape.

When talking about the training intensity Redick sets for the team, Doncic said: Yes, we have recently discussed this topic in the team. What I want to say is that high-intensity training can not only exercise our bodies, but also sharpen our minds. I believe this is a killing of two birds with one stone, because as a player, physical and mental improvement is very important. In recent training, according to my observation, every player on the team is in very good condition, and everyone is running all over the field. Everything is going well at the boot camp. Speaking about the role of the European Championship in keeping him in shape, Doncic continued: My personal training may be slower than usual, because I am very busy this summer, and I spent about one to one and a half months in the national team. Although the training intensity is very strong, the European Championships have prepared me for the preseason and the next regular season. I think this experience is very helpful for my preparations for the new season.

In the middle of last season, the Mavericks completed a heavy deal with the Los Angeles Lakers and sent Doncic to the Lakers. After joining the Lakers, Doncic played 28 games for the team in the NBA regular season, averaging 35.1 minutes per game, averaging 28.2 points, 8.1 rebounds, 7.5 assists, 1.6 steals, 0.4 blocks, and 3.7 turnovers and 2.4 fouls. He shot 43.8%, three-point shooting percentage 37.9%, and free throw shooting percentage 79.1%. In the playoffs, Doncic played 5 games in total, with averaging 41.6 minutes per game, averaging 30.2 points, 7 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1 steal, 0.6 blocks, and 4 turnovers and 3.2 fouls. His shooting percentage was 45.2%, his three-point shooting percentage was 34.8%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 89.1%. In the previous European Men's Basketball Championship, Doncic played 7 games for Slovenia, averaging 33.3 minutes per game, with averaging 34.7 points, 8.6 rebounds, 7.1 assists, 2.7 steals, 0.6 blocks, and 4.3 turnovers and 3.6 fouls. His shooting percentage was 45.8%, three-point shooting percentage was 32.1%, and free throw shooting percentage was 87.8%.

This summer, the Lakers and Doncic completed an early contract renewal, and Doncic also locked in his future in the team. Considering that the Lakers were eliminated by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round of the playoffs last season, they definitely hope that the team can perform better in the NBA field in the new season, and they definitely hope that the team can go further during the playoffs. Next, we can also see what kind of performance Doncic can perform, and can he lead the team to attack a better record?
