Lake Record: Doncic s performance yesterday reminds me of the G5 against the Timberwolves in the 24-year playoffs

Today, Lakers reporter Iztok Franko wrote an article about Doncic's performance in the Slovenian men's basketball team.

In a warm-up match ending today, Slovenia lost to Latvia 88-100. In response, Iztok Franko wrote: "Slovenia is still looking for confidence before the game against Latvia. They have lost the first three warm-up matches. The team is in the pain of renewal, and just a few days ago, the younger brother of Slovenian legend Golan Dragic was cut, and the atmosphere inside the team was tense.

"You can feel from the beginning that Doncic's determination to put these interference factors behind his head. He opened his fire at the start, reminiscent of some of his crazy scoring performances in the NBA that made him one of the best players in the league in the first quarter in recent seasons.

"Although the importance of the game is completely different, last night's first half reminded people of Doncic's game ending the Timberwolves in Game 5 of the 2024 Western Conference Semi-Finals - that night, he wiped out any hope of a opponent's turnaround and brought out the funny words of Anthony Edwards, 'Luca has other plans'."

In this game, Doncic left the game early due to a right leg injury, and played 26 points and 5 assists in 17 minutes. In the fifth game against the Timberwolves in 2024, Doncic played for 37 minutes, made 14 of 22 shots, scoring 36 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists.
