The powerful pitcher s form has dropped sharply! Does the Slovenian team really rely on Doncic s own efforts?

3:44am, 12 September 2025【Basketball】

In a previous Men's Basketball European Championship, the German team completed a reversal in the last quarter of the game, defeating Slovenia 99-91 without any danger, and successfully advanced to the semi-finals. After this game, Germany will compete with Finnish team, which defeated Georgia, for a final spot; while Slovenia will be eliminated with some regrets.

In this game, Slovenia's substitute outside pitcher, Klemen Prepelic, still performed poorly. Preperic played 20 minutes and 14 seconds in the game, made 4 of 15 shots, 3 of 10 from outside the three-point line, and 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 13 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist, and 3 fouls, with a plus-minus value of -3. Preperic got a lot of shots, and his shots were second only to Luka Doncic. However, his offensive efficiency was still a mess. He still made crazy moves when he felt poor, but it was obvious that he did not achieve good results. In addition, Preperic's performance in other aspects is also very average. He lacks basic passing and organizational skills, and he also lacks sufficient defensive skills. The overall performance was not ideal, and Preperic's poor performance also led to the team's defeat to a certain extent.

During this European Championship, Preperic played 7 games in total, with averaging 22.2 minutes per game, averaging 10.6 points, 1.3 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 0.1 steals, 1.3 turnovers and 1.6 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 32.3%, a three-point shooting percentage of 33.3%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 67.9%, with a plus-negative value per game of +1.3. Preperic's performance during this European Championship was really bad. His offensive efficiency has always been very unsatisfactory and his scoring ability has not been shown. As a pitcher, his shooting ability is also very unstable. During the European Championships, the overall Slovenian team was no longer bad, and the team also entered the quarterfinals. As a result, Preperic's offensive efficiency and three-point shooting percentage were so outrageous, which was simply a bit too bad. Slovenia was simply carrying a burden on his shoulders.

Preperic was born in October 1992 and is 32 years old, 191cm tall and weighs 77kg. He was the undraft in the 2014 NBA Draft. Preperic has played in the Serbian League, Adriatic League, Turkish League, Bundesliga, Ligue 1 and La Liga. His scoring ability and shooting ability are worthy of recognition, and he has always been able to play a good effect in the Slovenian team. However, in this European Championship, Preperic's condition has really declined sharply. It seems that Doncic is really struggling with his opponents by relying on his own strength, and it is indeed a bit difficult for the team to go further.
