On July 3, Beijing time, the opening of the Paris Olympics is getting closer and closer. In a key match in the Greek region of the FIBA Paris Olympic men's basketball qualifying tournament, Slovenia lost 92-108 to Croatia in the first game.

The two sides were able to narrow out the opening game until Slovenia were soon on the back foot and Croatia quickly built a double-digit lead inside and out. Slovenia tried to chase the score, but Croatia played an offensive climax in the third quarter to extend the lead to more than 20 points, and the game completely lost the suspense of the victory, and the final quarter of the game almost reduced to garbage time.

In terms of statistics, Slovenian star Doncic played 36 minutes and 56 seconds and shot 8 of 23, 0 of 9 three-pointers, 10 of 11 free throws, and scored 26 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists and 1 steal, with a plus/minus of -24 and the lowest in the game.

On the Croatian side, Saric played 32 minutes and 16 seconds, shooting 7 of 14, 0 of 4 three-pointers, 5 of 7 free throws, and scored 19 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists and 3 steals; Zubac played 18 minutes and 44 seconds and made 8 of 11 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, and contributed 18 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 block.

It should be noted that this is the first official game Doncic has played in since the NBA Finals. In a warm-up game last weekend, Doncic scored 32 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists to help Slovenia beat Brazil. But he played extremely poorly in today's game, and although he had a triple-double, he shot inefficiently and had the worst plus/minus of the game, failing to help his team win.

Defeated in the first game, can Doncic lead Slovenia to the main draw of the Olympic Games? Let's wait and see.
