The North American press has been fiercely criticizing since the beginning of the season Dallas Mavericks winning streak ends abruptly”>Luka Doncic, returned from the summer holidays clearly overweight and with a certain indolence clearly visible to the naked eye. The European one was more forgiving and only the results on the field, slightly lower than in previous years, have somewhat masked the difficulties of the Slovenian.
But there seems to have been a miracle lately, and he’s the governor of the Dallas Mavericks Mark Cuban to explain Doncic’s metamorphosis that. since the announcement of the owners of the all-star game, in the last ten games he has accumulated 35.4 points (48% shooting success, 43% from 3 points), 10.3 rebounds and 9.8 assists on average.
Let’s start with the 118 kilos on the scale before the season started … “I think he was a little humiliated for that”, Mark Cuban explained on a radio show (1310 The Ticket in Dallas). “I think he didn’t like talking about his weight and a mechanism was triggered in him, which needed a certain level of discipline to have. All athletes go through this phase sooner or later. Things get easy, we are used to be the best, to receive praise. Then, things go wrong and you have to move. “
When the owners of the All-Star Game were announced, Doncic had received no media votes. Do not panic, Luka Doncic was selected by the coaches but the fool had touched the chords of his pride, according to Cuban: “He knew what he had to do. And he understood that if he wanted to be the best, and I know he wants to be, he had to get back control over certain things. As soon as he got his hands on it, problems started for others: he was just unstoppable. “
