Less than three weeks before the start of the Basketball World Cup in the Philippines, Indonesia and Japan, the star and captain of the Slovenian team, Luka Donciç, gave an exhibition in a friendly against Montenegro that resulted in victory for his team (104- 100). The Dallas Mavericks player finished with 34 points, 13 rebounds and 14 assists in 33 minutes to sign his second triple-double this summer.
The Real Madrid homegrown point guard shone against the selection of the Chicago Bulls player, Nikola Vuceviç. He signed a great game with 11 points, 14 rebounds and 6 assists. Donciç’s offensive dominance easily overcame the Montenegrin defense, and even he ended up scoring two very distant three-pointers at the buzzer in two of the quarters.
Slovenia is one of the guests at the Centenary Tournament of the Spanish Basketball Federation (FEB) together with the USA, and will play against Spain and the Americans this Friday and Saturday at the Martin Carpena in Malaga.
