G. Dragičius’s shoulders are not burdened by the burden of the year.
During the aftermath of the NBA, Orlando Slovenian ends his twelfth season in the NBA and is probably the best of his entire career.
G.Dragičius won 23.6 points in the playoffs and has never achieved such a result before.
In addition, he has 5 assists and contributes his game to the Miami team in the 5 games: 4 against the Indiana Pacers and 1 against the Milwaukee Bucks.
“34 is just a number,” Dragic told the Zoom conference on his age after the Heat broke 1-0 before the Eastern Conference semifinals with the Bucks. – I always said I feel great. I put in a lot of hard work. My teammates make me better. Coaches put me in convenient positions. I feel good, and 34 is just a number. “
G. Dragičius’ 10 points in the second half of the game with the Bucks helped the Miami team return to the game when it was 11 points behind.
The Slovenian defender finished the game with 27 points, bounced 6 times and gave 5 assists.
The second game of the series with up to four wins will take place Wednesday night through Thursday. G. Dragičius feels that Bucks basketball players who have won the regular NBA championship will be upset.
“We are happy with the victory, but we know that nothing is over yet,” said Dragičius. – Only the first game. We need to focus and improve some things. “
When G. Dragičius took the Heat out in the first half of the game, Jimmy Butler, who achieved a career-high 40 points, was the leader after a long break.
“Goran has already won at a high level and so far,” Butler said, recalling that Dragičius was the leader of the Slovenian team in the team that won gold at the 2017 European Championship. – He is a winner. He is the leader of this team and we need him as we are now. He understands this himself. I follow his leadership, Bamas (Adebayo) follows his leadership. We have a group of players who are the leaders of this team. It can be different every night.
What he (Dragičius) always does is play hard on every attack and defense. Never succumb to duels. And that’s the best example for us. “

G.Dragičius is also satisfied with the duo with J.Butler.
“When he came to Miami, we needed time to get to know each other. We talk a lot. We find many things in common. He likes soccer, I like soccer. Then we play in the square. He’s one of the best team friends I’ve ever had, ”said G. Dragičius of J. Butler.
