Today, ESPN famous reporter Dave McMenamin wrote an article about the connection between the Lakers and Doncic during the offseason.

Speaking of Doncic's European Championships for Slovenia, Lakers General Manager Pelinka said: "Luca is full of affectionate pride and gratitude for his roots and his country. In our partnership with players, the Lakers want to respect the passion of the players and their identity as individuals and support these things with all their strength. Therefore, it is very easy for us to decide to support him around Luca.

" From a leadership perspective, I support the players playing basketball during the offseason. It can be said that to some extent, especially in the United States, the offseason focus is more on personal training. I think this may ignore the importance of the team environment. ”

Speaking of the possibility of injury to players in the European Championships, Pelinka said: “Everything has risks. Excessive personalized training can wear down muscles or joints. Luca has great ideas in improving her basketball skills. It can be seen that he can reach his best in the competitive environment. This is the key to stimulating his potential. ”
