Doncic blames himself in anger! Slovenian generals collectively bombard the referee: outrageous and ridiculous, sad
6:59am, 11 September 2025【Basketball】
On September 11, in the quarter-finals of the Men's Basketball Team's European Championship, Slovenia was 91-99 reversed by Germany; Doncic made 11 of 25 shots, 5 of 16 of 3-pointers, 12 of 15 free throws, and scored 39 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists, missing the semi-finals; after the game, Doncic took responsibility and responded to the penalty, and the Slovenian general also collectively complained about the referee. After being reversed by Germany in the quarter-finals, when talking about the penalty for this game, Doncic said: I don't want to say anything more. Two minutes into the game, I got a technical foul because I shouted "Hey", so that's all. But this is the quarterfinals, no matter who you are, this shouldn't happen. Even if I give a warning first, they don’t even have a warning, and I really can’t understand. This is the key battle to decide whether they can advance to the semi-finals. I really don’t know how they judged it.
When asked to say it in detail, Doncic said: I'd better not talk about this, after all... it's better not to say it. Because at the beginning of the third quarter, I received my fourth foul, and I have never encountered such a thing in my life.
Doncic attacked Schroeder with the ball at 7 minutes and 47 seconds in the third quarter, and suffered an offensive foul, thus 4 fouls. Doncic made a count of money to mock the referee, but the referee did not add a skilled prisoner at the time. After Doncic committed 4 fouls, Schroeder lay on the floor and showed an evil smile.
Speaking of the defeat in this game, Doncic said bluntly: Anger is definitely anger. I could have done more in the last section. I think I forced myself to shoot too many goals. But what angered me the most was that at the critical moment of the game, I didn’t make the right decision, but we were fighting from beginning to end.
Speaking of stopping in the quarterfinals, Doncic said: This result is far from enough for us, we have higher goals. But before that, many people disrespect us and speak rudely to us. We are fighting for Slovenia and the national team's shirt, and everyone has put in 100% effort. So we have to give everyone a thumbs up - we could have chosen the offseason, but we fought for every goal to the end and do our best.
continued: I may not feel proud now, because the taste of failure is still very strong. But I'm sure I'll be proud of everyone in this team in a few days. It is really not easy to lose two games in the group stage and then cheer up and win three or four games. Such performance deserves respect.
In this European Cup, Doncic scored 30+ in 5 games, averaging 33.3 minutes per game, able to score 34.7 points, 8.6 rebounds, 7.1 assists and 2.7 steals per game, ranking first in the tournament.
Speaking of the penalty, Slovenian center Omic said: Our best player is not protected as he deserves in the European Cup. He suffered 3 fouls in 10-15 minutes. What's going on? He is the best player in the entire tournament and everyone comes to see him play.
Omici pointed out that the difference in free throws is the key factor in determining the outcome. He said: We can't play basketball like this, which is why we lost the game. They had 37 free throws in 99 points; if it comes to the first technical foul, it seems to change the situation of the entire game. For me, this is not normal. We haven't seen our family for two months, and we wanted to win the game, but this happened. What else can I say? There is nothing to say. Like this, we cannot win. We need to win this game. We played well, we tried our best, we came here to get to the end, but you can't win when your opponent gets 37 free throws in a game.
Prepelic said: It's ridiculous to repeat the same thing every summer. Not only us, but many teams have encountered this situation. This situation is becoming more and more outrageous. I feel that some things are no longer in line with the basketball level that this level of game should be, which makes people feel sad. For many teams, I don't want to discuss whether the victory deserves it.
Slovenian coach Kulic said: First of all, congratulate the German team on their advance to the semi-finals. From the first minute of the game, something very strange happened on the court. I feel bad for the players, but I don't want to talk about these things because it devalues the players' performance in this game and throughout the European Cup.
Sekulic continued: I know we have a great superstar Luca, and his teammates are working hard. I mean, it's very hard. Being disrespectful like today is really hurtful, and it hurts me to see the players now in the locker room. Because I believe we played a great basketball game today. I think we are better teams. I think we have to apologize for being such a ‘dirty’ team, especially with so many fouls against Germany in the last quarter.
Shi Kulic is also proud of the Slovenian men's basketball team and said bluntly: I think we can leave this European Cup with our heads held high, and even not all participating teams can do this.
