Doncic: The initial stage of reshaping the body was not easy, but it became a habit

With the improvement of physical fitness and the full support of the Lakers, Doncic is ready to help the Slovenia accumulate strength in this summer of intensive international events.

One of the biggest topics around Doncic this offseason is his change in body shape. The defender, who was selected for the NBA All-A-Level, lost weight and entered training camp at a career-best form.

Doncic said: "Some people have been questioning my physical fitness, but I think I played great before, and this year we changed the way to deal with these things. Last summer was a tough one, and I played until June and went straight to the Olympic qualifiers. This time, I had more time and more complete plans."

Doncic admitted that the initial stage of reshaping the body was challenging, but once I got used to this rhythm, things became simple. He continued: "It was not easy at first, but it became a habit. As for how this will be reflected in the game, we will wait and see. I haven't played official games since the end of the NBA season, and I've just started to re-engage the confrontation training."
