European Championship Warmup match: Doncic returns to 28+10+6, Markanen scored 121 points in three games

The European Championship warm-up match continued, Slovenia played against Britain, and Doncic, who was accidentally injured in the last game, was fine. He made a comeback in this game, scoring 28 points, 10 assists and 6 rebounds, leading the team to end the 4-game losing streak. In the duel between Finland and Poland, Markkanen continued his recent hot touch, leading the team to win with a large double-double with 42 points and 12 rebounds.

Slovenia did not perform well in the previous warm-up match, and suffered a four-game losing streak. The core Doncic also suffered an injury in the last game. Fortunately, Doncic checked well and continued to play in the warm-up match with the UK this time. He was in a hot state. He scored 21 points in the first half, played 28 minutes in the game, made 7 of 17 shots, made 12 of 14 free throws, scored 28 points, 6 rebounds and 10 assists, and led Slovenia to defeat his opponent 93-81, ending the decline of four consecutive losses.

Doncic has also become the focus this summer. He has lost his weight and the Lakers also have higher expectations for him. But in the warm-up match, Doncic was not in good shape at the beginning, and Slovenia also lost to Germany twice in a row, and to Lithuania and Latvia one after another. Fortunately, before the European Championships were about to begin, they finally ended their losing streak, and Doncic's form was also constantly recovering. As long as he could enter the state, Slovenia would not be afraid of any opponents.

Let's look at Markkanen's side. He was in a very hot state in the warm-up match. In this warm-up match between Finland and Poland, he continued his hot touch, played for 24 minutes, made 10 of 17 shots, made 3 of 7 three-pointers, made 19 of 20 free throws, scored 42 points, 12 rebounds and 3 blocks, with a plus-negative value +48, and helped Finland defeat Poland 97-88.

This is not an occasional outbreak of Markkanin. He performed very strongly in three warm-up matches, scoring a total of 121 points, averaging 40.3 points and 8.7 rebounds per game, shooting percentage of 68.6% and three-point shooting percentage of 53.8%. In the next European Championship, Finland was divided into Group B, with strong teams like Germany and Lithuania in the same group, but Markkanen's hot state also gave them more expectations.
