Things are heating up between Rudy Gobert and Luka Doncic, the furious Slovenian!
In a very interesting game between the Jazz and the Mavs, Luka Doncic and Rudy Gobert had two clashes, including a big one before halftime. It was the Slovenian who was very annoyed, he who must not be the Frenchman’s biggest fan at the moment.
There was a thrilling clash in the West on Monday night, specifically between Utah and Dallas. Two teams with a similar record, and which swung to the advantage of the Texans, for a final victory 111-103. Luka Doncicauthor of 35 points, 16 rebounds and 7 assists has perfectly mastered his subject, even if he has clashed several times with Rudy Gobert.
Gobert’s gesture that Doncic did not like!
The two men were All-Stars not long ago, but it’s not mad love between the two players, that’s for sure. The festivities began at half-time, when Luka missed his shot in a duel with Gobert. The latter returned the ball to him immediately after his miss, which the Slovenian did not like at all.

If fans liked Gobert’s gesture, Luka can’t say the same. The whole thing continued a little later, in the third quarter, after a new incident:

In the video, Rudy can be seen lightly grabbing his opponent’s wrist. Except Doncic trips over his own foot and falls, immediately blaming the Frenchie. The referees checked all this on video, believing that there was no problem. A flop? We can see it like that.
No doubt, the two players will be eager to meet again after all that. In the meantime, we can enjoy this nice basketball game:
Luka Doncic is not a fan of Rudy Gobert, and made it known many times on Monday. A lot of tension between the two, even if no serious consequences on arrival. It’s better that way.
