6:04pm, 4 September 2025【Basketball】

Doncic led Slovenia to defeat Iceland 87-79 without any danger, thus qualifying early with a record of 2 wins and 2 losses and entering the quarterfinals. With the last round left, Israel, Poland, France and Slovenia in Group D have locked in four qualifying places, while Belgium and Iceland missed the promotion.

Doncic contributed 26 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and 1 block in this game. His touch was not very good in this game, making 8 of 22 shots, 2 of 10 three-pointers, and 8 of 11 free throws. However, he still sets the tone for winning on both offense and defense. In this game, Nikolic scored 17 points and 5 assists, Omic scored 8 points and 13 rebounds, and Radovic contributed 9 points and 3 rebounds, all giving Doncic some support.

Slovenia will face the Israeli men's basketball team in the last round of the group stage, and the Israeli men's basketball team is currently ranked first in Group D with 3 wins and 1 loss. It is difficult for the Slovenian men's basketball team to defeat the Israeli men's basketball team, although Doncic is the scoring champion and efficiency king of this European Championship.

In this European Championship, Dongchi averaged 31.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, 8.3 assists, 3.3 steals, 0.8 blocks per game, with a shooting percentage of 40.5%, three-point shooting percentage of 27.5%, and free throw shooting percentage of 86.2%. In the scoring list, Doncic ranked first with 31.3 points per game, Markkanen and Antetokounmpo both averaged 29.0 points per game, Lloyd ranked fourth with 25.8 points per game, and Schroeder ranked fifth with 22.3 points per game. In the assist list, Lithuanian point guard Yokubatis ranked first in average 8.5 assists per game, Doncic ranked second in average 8.3 assists per game, Shen Jing ranked third in average 6.5 assists per game, Czech defender Sekhnal and Israeli defender Madal tied for fourth in average 6.3 assists per game.

On the average efficiency list, Doncic ranked first with 33.0, Antetokounmpo ranked second with 31.0, Markkanen ranked third with 30.8, Shen Jing ranked fourth with 30.0, and Jokic ranked fifth with 28.5.

In other words, Doncic ranked first in scoring, efficiency values, and steals, and second in assists. Doncic really played the role of a lone brave man in this European Championship, carrying the Slovenian men's basketball team forward. To reach the top 16, the Slovenian men's basketball team achieved a small goal, but in the knockout stage, they were doomed to be unable to go far with Doncic alone. It has to be said that Qian Chal and naturalized center Josh Nebo's absence from the European Championships have a huge impact on the team.
