Slovenia Team News

Thanks to the phenomenal Luka Doncic, Slovenia reached the second round of the championship and took the points, as they defeated the Georgian national team in the first round. Ahead of them is a game that will decide a lot of things. The victory almost certainly opens the door to the quarterfinals, but it will not be easy for them. The Australian national team owes them a debt from the last Olympic Games since the “kangaroos” defeated the “dragons” in the bronze medal match.

Slovenia has big defensive problems in this championship, and that will be one of the key factors in this match, as well as the mood of Luka Doncic. Luka played two top games against Venezuela and Georgia, while against Cape Verde, Doncic played at a slower pace, and was not good at shooting from a distance, but he still scored 19 points and added 7 rebounds and 9 assists. Luka has an average of 30 points in the previous 3 games. The problem for Slovenia is the weaker support staff that cannot support and monitor Doncic in a quality way. The absence of Cancar and Muric is especially noticeable, while Jaka Blazic was also injured in the match against Georgia.

Australia Team News

The Australians arrived at this championship as one of the biggest favorites for a medal and will try to continue the continuity of achieving good results at major competitions. They arrived in a very strong lineup led by NBA players. They achieved safe victories against Finland and Japan, while they were defeated by Germany after an uncertain ending. For many, it is the best match in the championship so far. They are led by the duo of Mills and Giddey, who are the most effective players in the Australian team, these two speed up the pace of the game and often attack the basket and finish actions in the early attack.

The Australians have problems with the inside line, more precisely, they don’t have a real center. An important role under the basket is played by Dopu Reath, a former player of Crvena zvezda, and Xavier Cooks, who is an important screw in the jump phase. Against Japan, Cooks had 24 points and 16 rebounds, 10 of which were offensive.

Australia must start very strong from the start and try in every way to establish their style of play and try to stop Doncic.

With Round 1 now in the books, here's everything you need to know about Round 2 action coming your way tomorrow!
