Recently, Lakers star Doncic has returned to the Slovenian national team to prepare for this summer's men's basketball European Cup. In an interview, Doncic talked about the men's basketball European Cup.

Speaking about participating in the European Cup of Men's Basketball Team, Doncic said: "I have had some doubts, but in the end, everyone knows that as long as I am healthy, I will participate in the competition. This has always been my attitude, and as long as I can play, I will play."

Speaking about the Slovenian national team's goal this summer, Doncic said: "Our goal is always to win medals. I am not the only leader in the team, and others have a say. Because if there is only one leader, nothing can be done. In the end, everyone must be clear about their role. Only in this way can success follow."

Talking about the upcoming match against the German men's basketball team

Doncic said: "These early games are always difficult to play. We know that the German team is a strong team, but the key now is to find the rhythm. As for my playing time, let's look at the situation, I haven't played five-on-five games for a while. I can learn the most from the game, especially when the post-match review is over. This is why I am very happy that we have arranged several games to understand our current level and cultivate a tacit understanding of the team. This is very important."

It is reported that the first European Cup game between the Slovenian Men's Basketball Team was against the Polish Men's Basketball Team on August 29.
