Only when standing next to Pau Gasol does Luka Doncic look like a child when he leaves basketball. At the award ceremony of the best team of the European Championship, when the photographer pressed the shutter, Gasol put his hand on the shoulder of Doncic - two generations who are 19 years old apart, perhaps so completed the handover of The Times.

Due to an accidental injury, Doncic failed to reach the end of the final battle with Serbia, and he had to retire early when the third quarter was not over.

Fortunately, Dragic, with obsession, did not let the victory slip away, and Slovenia, which was defeated by Wang Shipeng in the World Championship 11 years ago, won the first European championship in history with an unstoppable momentum.

Dragic, who has landed in the NBA for ten years, took away the MVP trophy, such a wish is indisputable, but who can deny that the best actor in this men's basketball European Championship is actually the 18-year-old boy named Luka Doncic... 1 overall pick in the 2018 NBA draft? Such hype is perhaps the best proof of that.

In the European Championship, Doncic averaged 14.3 points (24th), 8.1 rebounds (4th), 3.6 assists (32nd), and 18.7 efficiency (13th) per game.

Doncic had an all-around performance of 11 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists in the semifinal win over Spain, and when he entered the game, Slovenia was able to earn a plus-20 contribution and a personal efficiency rating of 23, which ranked second in nine games.

Gasol, who has seen strong winds and waves, also lamented after the game, "This child will certainly make a difference in the NBA, he almost has no technology."

Can it be said that those wearing the No. 7 shirt at Real Madrid are destined to be the chosen ones?

Born in the Slovenian capital Ljubljana on February 28, 1999, the 201cm tall Doncic made his mark on a date that has a different meaning every year. Since his father was a Slovenian basketball player, Doncic was also naturally connected to basketball, and he made choices in football, basketball and other sports under his influence.

Doncic joined his hometown team, Ljubljana Juniors, and in April 2012, almost like a god, he surprised the crowd at his first major continental open tournament. At the time, he was 13 years old.

54 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists - the International Junior Tournament in Rome in 2012 culminated in Doncic's solo performance in the final against Lazio, a 28-point victory that highlighted his dominance in the competition of his peers.

That time, the Ljubljana junior team in the championship, many staged more than 20 points wins, and Doncic's average score, also reached 34.5 points. Since then, the name has also been picked up by European media.

However, to protect Doncic from interference, his father has always avoided the media, and growing up, father and son gave only a handful of interviews - only when he was 18 years old did Doncic complete an exclusive interview with Slovenia's biggest media.

Just five months after taking over AS Roma, Doncic has signed a deal with long-linked Real Madrid, turning what was once a short loan into a permanent move.

Doncic quickly adapted to the new environment in a foreign country, and in February 2013, he wore the No. 18 shirt in the mini Copa del Rey final against Barcelona on the Real Madrid U-13 team, providing all-around data of 25 points, 16 rebounds, 3 assists and 5 steals to help Real Madrid win a 24-point victory.

You know, this is the first time in the decade that Real Madrid U-13 has ended the dynasty created by Barcelona, and the Slovenian talent who averaged 24.5 points and 13 rebounds in the entire tournament has naturally contributed. 'It was like I was playing in a dream,' he said.

After that match, Doncic's name appeared frequently in the pages of Marca, and as time went on, the Spanish media began to compare Real Madrid's young players to Ricky Rubio and Toni Kukoc.

From the Real Madrid U-13, U-16, U-18 to the B team, Doncic has steadily progressed over the past few years, after winning eight titles and 11 MVPS in the junior tier, he also became the youngest player ever to play for Real Madrid in the 2015-16 season at 16 years, 2 months and 2 days.

With only 47 first-team appearances, Doncic is still lacking in professional experience.

However, this still could not prevent him from shining in various competitions, and even became the focus of global media attention, this versatile swingman who is more than 2 meters tall, may be the next king of Europe.
