2018 EuroLeague Final Four

Not looking good for Fenerbahçe

 

[ColdPickleNachos]

He is so good at drawing fouls.

That would be negated by the Suns jersey!

For now. He'd be getting those calls within two years, much like Booker.

 

[ColdPickleNachos]

Llull just fouled out.

 

[SirStefan32]

Oh what a defensive sequence by Doncic!

 

[ColdPickleNachos]

Oh what a defensive sequence by Doncic!

Clutch defense.

 

[ColdPickleNachos]

Doncic fouls out with 15 points and up 7 late.

 

[ColdPickleNachos]

If that's called unsportsmanlike, it could be a huge mistake, compounding the mistake on the turnover.

 

[SirStefan32]

Ah, don't foul him, Luka! you don't need to block that shot.

 

[ColdPickleNachos]

Regular foul.

 

[ColdPickleNachos]

Real Madrid has the ball up 5 with just under 40 seconds left. Their two best players have both fouled out.

[ColdPickleNachos]

Whoa! Three point game.

 

[SirStefan32]

It cut off before he played good low-post defense too, if I remember the play correctly. He forced a miss.

He has really high IQ for defense as well.

 

[ColdPickleNachos]

Whoa! Trey Tompkins may have just saved the championship with a tip-in of a missed free throw.

 

[ColdPickleNachos]

He has really high IQ for defense as well.

But still makes some dumb mistakes on both ends, as would be expected from a 19-year-old in his situation. That turnover and fouling out sequence was a rough way to end a somewhat underwhelming performance.

That said, when you can describe a 19-year-old leading his team in scoring to secure the Euroleague Championship the day after he was named MVP as underwhelming in any way, you're talking about a very special player.

Edit: Second on his team in scoring this game; 3rd in PIR.

 

[SirStefan32]

And Real Madrid wins the 10th title.

 

[ColdPickleNachos]

Real Madrid wins!!

And he lost track of the shot clock twice. He still makes some mistakes, but he is one hell of a player. It is unbelievable that he still a teenager.

Real Madrid wins!!

So does this mean the season is over and he can do interviews and such with NBA teams now?

 

[ColdPickleNachos]

I'm pretty sure he still has games left in the Spanish league, which is why he's missing workouts.

No. There is still Spanish league.

Ah okay, thanks.
