Slovenia vs Brazilia, Stožice
The friendly basketball game Slovenia vs Brazilia was preparation for the Olympic Games qualifying tournament. I bought a ticket on the day of the game, for 65 €. I think they charged too much. Probably because Dončić was expected to play?
I arrived at Arena Stožice just before the game (time for the national anthem, 8000 voices singing). I parked in the garage under Arena. The Slovenian team played the first quarter really bad. They scored just 12 points and missed open shots. In the second quarter they played better, Dončić made a change and others started scoring 3-pointers. The third quarter was mixed. They had led 12 points and ended with one point. But they got focused and ended with victory 86:80
I wasn’t happy with what I saw. I understand they were just getting together, and got a new naturalized center Nebo, but this kind of game won’t get them through the Olympic qualifying tournament. The team is relying heavily on Dončić (32 points) and he can get them far but I don’t think this is enough. And the price of tickets was ridiculous, KZS you should rethink your strategy.
