Doncic's current situation is a god that restored why James left the Cavaliers

A big reason why our basketball is getting farther and farther away from the top level of FIBA is arrogance and awe.

It is clear that his national team and league have slipped to the lowest level in history, but he can still indulge in basketball influencers who can't even play in the CBA league, and also blame Jordjevic, who is already a European legend as a player and coach.

Just like Yannakis, who led the Greek men's basketball team into the golden age and was the only one to beat the NBA US men's basketball team led by Old K.

We hide our weakness and ignorance by criticizing the strong.

After the men's basketball team slipped home from ashes, it quickly found another target in the World Cup, the core of the Slovenian team, Luka Doncic.

After losing to Canada and Lithuania, two teams that are almost in the best form of this World Cup, Doncic was also sprayed as a "cancer bully" who dominated the ball and endangered the team. With a rudimentary plus-minus, it tells the bizarre argument that "Slovenia can play better without Doncic".

A genius who won the European Championship at the age of 18, doubled the MVP of the European League at the age of 19, and was selected to the NBA team for four consecutive years at the age of 24.

In the eyes of some of our fans, has become a wound Zhongyong and a ball bully?

For basketball, we don't understand what genius is, let alone how to look at genius, so we can't cultivate genius.

This jade-faced boy who once captivated the world is now a little fat man who has killed the two basketball worlds of FIBA and NBA,

It is the genius who can define basketball in this era, the number one card in this World Cup, and the treasure that at least 25 teams in the NBA are willing to give everything to get.

But under the fame, he is now facing bottlenecks and difficulties in both the NBA and the Slovenian national team.

In the NBA, he has only been a sophomore since 2019 and has become the absolute core of the Lone Ranger. He uses his rare basketball talent and solid and durable body to support the team's entire offense, contributing an exaggerated average of 28+8+9 per game every year, and if he wanted to, the so-called "triple-double king" would not have been Westbrook.

Even though the team didn't even make the playoffs last year, North American sports journalists were reluctant to remove him from the All-NBA team, making him a member of the league's first team four times in his first five years of his career.

Since the NBA established the All-NBA award in 1946, only ancient monsters such as Wilt Chamberlain, Elgin Baylor, and Jerry West have been able to do this, as well as Skyhook, Larry Bird and Tim Duncan.

In the national team, when he was 18 years old (2017), he won the European Championship with the team with the quality and difficulty of the World Cup, and formed the most explosive backfield in Europe at that time with "Dragon Brother" Dragic.

That year, he was not the "ball core" style of play today, and his combination with Dragic was closer to the current Thunder's Josh Giddy and Alexander, but the all-round skill was already eye-catching.

In the semifinals, facing defending champion Spain, who were still strong at the time and could still win the World Cup in China two years later, he scored 11 points, 12 rebounds and 8 assists, combing his team's offense smoothly, shooting 14 of 25 from three-point range to reach the final 92-72.

In 2018, he was already the heart of FIBA's first league giants Real Madrid, while being crowned Europa League MVP. In the final four, he defeated CSKA Moscow and Fenerbahce, and became the youngest semi-final MVP in Champions League history with an average of 18.5 points, 6.5 boards and 3.5 assists in two games.

So when he later scored in the NBA to chop melons and cut vegetables, he would sincerely lament that "it is much harder to score in Europe than here", not just Versailles for young people.

He certainly had reason to be proud and qualified to be different, because he was one of the most exaggerated geniuses of his time.

He, along with Brother Alphabet and Jokic, are the most outstanding products created by the basketball gods of this era.

However, compared to the other two "monster geniuses" who have won championships, MVPs, and FMVPs, Doncic's NBA road is not smooth, and even slightly bumpy.

He has already harvested almost all the top awards except MVP, but the only team record since 2018 is probably the semifinals of the 2021 Tokyo Olympics.

When the Los Angeles Clippers, the "luxury fleet" of that year, lost 4-2 to the Los Angeles Clippers after making the playoffs for the first time in the 19-20 season, everyone was optimistic about the future of Doncic and the young team.

However, team owner Mark Cuban has long passed the age of spending a lot of money to build a lineup for Dirk Nowitzki two decades ago, and after having Doncic, he has been guaranteed to enter the playoffs every year, and the team has not been significantly upgraded except for Porzingis, who can't even play Batum.

The management, led by Harrison, is too amateur while implementing the boss to reduce costs and increase efficiency. In the past three years, Hardaway Jr., Bertans, Powell, Klaiber, and Bullock have accumulated premium contracts with an annual salary of 10-20 million, average strength and not low price.

Therefore, although the team's salary has soared to 172 million last season, it may not even rank in the top eight in the Western Conference in terms of roster strength.

Especially in the second half of last season, after using Finney Smith, the only defensive titan in the team, as the main chip to exchange Kyrie Irving, there was no follow-up operation, resulting in the team's forward strength being almost at the bottom of the league.

In the second half of the regular season from February to April after this year's big deal, there was no better team in the league than the Lone Ranger in the third, fourth and fifth positions.

In the national team, Slovenia became his own team after Dragic grew old, and the rest of his teammates were separated from him by a huge gap.

In 2018, Doncic was suspended, and Slovenia was able to be chopped by Ukraine 82-54, and the World Cup qualifiers were bottomed, and even the World Cup in China did not succeed.

After the resumption of the international competition in 2021, he has participated in three consecutive competitions in the 21st Tokyo Olympics, the 22 European Championship and the 23 World Cup, and is the hardest star to play for the country besides Gobert.

However, this Slovenian team is still too far from the real European powerhouses. The former sharpshooter Prepelic has lost his skills at the European Championships and now can't even start. The national team's blocking partner Mick Tobey is not as real as Powell and Claybeau, who have been scolded by the Lone Ranger.

The limit of this group of teammates is a 91-80 victory over Australia this year, and the whole team fought to win when Doncic was caught in a crazy bag.

Under normal circumstances, to beat the FIBA powerhouse team to achieve a breakthrough in results, it all depends on Doncic's bravery.

Therefore, Doncic had to adopt a more extreme "ball core" style of play than when he was a lone ranger, and only with basketball in his hands could the team win.

Then he can't play more than 35 points and the team loses, which is an abnormal performance.

Now Doncic's situation is really similar to a person.

The same epoch-making genius with ultimate talent,

At the same young age, he made a name for himself in the NBA,

is also harvesting almost all personal honors early, and the world, including NBA officials, is looking forward to his early victory and smooth accession to the throne,

But the same bad management has suffered, not only year after year, the total salary is getting higher and higher, and the team roster is getting older.

The failure to win the championship every year not only wasted the precious golden period of this genius, but also subjected him to more and more heavy public pressure, and finally reached the situation of "failure if you don't win the championship" every year.

In the end, he had to make "Decision 1.0" and travel to Miami.

Most of today's fans, I'm afraid, have known and learned about LeBron, who has been forever entangled in achievements and controversies since 2010.

But how many people really witnessed the failure of the championship in 06-10, the "Celtics Big Three" emerged after killing the Pistons, and the "Cavaliers 1.0 James" in the middle of the rise of the Magic?

It's okay, look at Doncic today, the situation is half a pound and eight pounds from LeBron more than a decade ago.

Maybe in the near future, he will also walk away discouraged.
