Belgium against the monster Luka Doncic at the Euro Basket this Saturday (videos)
Belgium will face Slovenia, reigning European champions, in the round of 16 of the Euro basketball this Saturday. It wouldn’t be insurmountable if there wasn’t a certain Luka Doncic in the Slovenian team.

The Basketball Euro is in full swing. On Wednesday, the France team, in which we still find several players playing (or having played) in the NBA, was beaten by Slovenia 88-82. Rudy Gobert and his teammates failed to overcome the Slovenian ogre, I named Luka Doncic. This one, although wounded in the head (blood flowed in his neck and on his face), put 47 points. A performance that would have been noticed in the NBA, but is downright surreal in a European game at this level. Only Greek legend Nikolaos Galis (46 points against Sweden in 1983) had done nearly as well. A setback that will oppose France to Turkey in the round of 16. Note that France does not digest this defeat, arguing for an unfavorable arbitration. As for Slovenia, they will now face Belgium, also this Saturday. prepare your handkerchiefs.
