Scored 43 points in 23 minutes! If he continues like this, Doncic s scoring champion will be suspended

The 2025 Men's Basketball European Cup has many NBA experts participating, such as Jokic, Antetokounmpo, Doncic, Shinkin, Wagner Jr., Schroeder, Markkanen, Pozin, etc. Among them, Doncic is regarded as the biggest favorite in the scoring champion. There are two reasons. One is that Doncic's scoring ability is too outstanding, and the other is that the Slovenian team is too weak and there are too few people who can help Doncic share the burden. Doncic must score points with all his strength to be expected to win.

In the first game of Slovenia, they played against Poland. The Poland team had an amazing offensive efficiency in this game, with a shooting percentage of 58.6%. They suppressed Slovenia for a long time, and Doncic could only turn on the strong mode. He played for 36 minutes and 19 seconds, 7 of 14 (3 of 9 three-pointers), 17 of 18 free throws, scoring 34 points, 4 rebounds, 9 assists, 5 steals and 2 blocks, becoming the first person in the history of the men's basketball team to score 30 points, 5 assists and 5 steals in a single game. Unfortunately, Slovenia finally lost 95-105.

Doncic scored 34 points in the first game. His scoring firepower is too outstanding, so is Doncic's scoring champion stable? The answer is unstable, because Finland's Markkanin's score is even more terrifying. Markkanen has played 2 games so far. In the first match (vs Sweden), he made 7 of 15 (2 of 4 three-pointers), 12 of 14 free throws, scoring 28 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals, leading the team to win the game with a 3-point advantage. In the second game against the British team, he performed better and achieved monster efficiency.

Markanen scored 29 points in the first half. Due to his huge lead, he only played 23 minutes in the whole game before clocking off work. He made 13 of 22 shots (7 of 13 three-pointers), made 10 of 11 free throws, scored 43 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 4 steals, leading the Finnish team to win 30 points.

Markanen scored 43 points in 23 minutes, and the scoring efficiency was amazing. Currently, he has scored a total of 71 points in two games, averaging 35.5 points per game, shooting percentage of 54.1%, shooting 4.5 three-pointers per game, shooting percentage of 52.9%, ranking first in the game. It is worth mentioning that Markanin's scoring efficiency in the previous warm-up match was extremely amazing. Unexpectedly, he was in better form in the main competition. If Markanin continues to play like this, he is expected to beat Doncic and become the scoring leader in this competition.
