The veteran team Argentina also lost. Luka Dončić defeated the former Olympic champion almost by himself. Slovenia won the first Olympic victory in team history at 118:100.
Following the loss of the defending champions the United States last night, the Argentina team was not spared either. So far, the two teams that have won the Olympic men’s basketball championship in the 21st century have all fallen into the sand in the first battle, and the world men’s basketball landscape has changed.
Doncic from the Dallas Mavericks led the Slovenia team, who had never played in the Olympics, scored 17 points in the first quarter, scored 48 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks in the first quarter, proving him He is indeed one of the best players in basketball today. 48 points is the second-highest single-game individual scoring record in the history of the Olympic men’s basketball team. He is only 7 points away from the 55-point single-game record set by Brazilian player Oscar Schmidt in 1988. But he was substituted four and a half minutes before the end of the game and never returned to the game.
The Argentine team, which had won the Athens Olympics in 2004, only led 2-0 at the beginning, and was completely suppressed afterwards. Dončić scored 31 points in the first half, and Slovenia led by 30 points at most. Although the Argentine team relied on experience and used killing tactics in the second half to try to arouse the anger of the Slovenia team, but the difference in strength was too big, and the final score was defeated.
The decline of the Argentine men’s basketball team is embarrassing. After winning the championship in 2004, they won the bronze medal in 2008, the fourth in 2012, and the eighth in 2016. It is estimated that it will be difficult to qualify for the team this year. Superstars such as Ginobili and Nucioni have retired. Only Luis Scola, who has greyed out his temples, is still struggling to support it. Afterwards, they will face the 2019 World Cup champion Spain and the host Japanese team. The situation is not optimistic.
