Facundo Campazzo Me but I wasn’t there last night. Dallas visited the Toronto Raptors -lost 105-100-, but his thoughts were far from Canada, a serious face but not focused on the game, but suffering, the Argentine point guard sighs for what is happening more more on 10,000 kilometers away from Qatar. Y luka doncic he laughs. “Luka was rooting for Mexico, he was joking with me, we were seeing him in the locker room”, commented ‘Facu’ with a smile, breathing a sigh of relief afterwards. Leo Messi keep aside Enzo Fernandez a tragedy for Argentina in the victory of the albiceleste against Mexico (2-0).
Channeling the Argentine’s burning passion for soccer, which is all or nothing in his life when his country is playing, Campazzo cannot live without taking his eyes off his team. On the bus, in the locker room…and warming up! Although he had been sweating for a long time, the base warmed up his body to compete as he watched the game on his iPad. “And we also have a TV in the locker room to watch it,” The base clarified in a conversation with Hispanic media, including MD.
The World Cup also lives on in the NBA. And a good example of this is the Dallas Mavericks. “There is a lot of football in the locker room, there are players from different countries following him, from Slovenia (Doncic), Germany (Maxi Kleber), Australia (Josh Green)…”, Campazzo commented. They are also ‘represented’ in the World Cup for the Texas team Frank Ntilikina (Belgium) and Dwight Powell (Canada), including all American players.
“The first matches are more difficult because it’s a mix of emotions, you want to start now”, said ‘Facu’, referring to the painful defeat in Argentina’s first match against Saudi Arabia. But, optimistically, the base is seeing the end. And it is very clear. “I hope Argentina win, but Spain is solid, I saw them a lot. Let’s see if there is a final Spain-Argentina and we won”, said Campazzo with a smile.
Positive despite his situation
the basis of 31 years It shows optimism all around. Although Argentina’s situation has improved in the World Cup – the qualifying will be played against Poland from Robert Lewandowski in the last meeting but it depends on himself-, not on him. The role of Córdoba’s exterior in the Mavericks continues to remain after two years of minutes at Denver Nuggets, averaging just 7 minutes on the court and participating in 7 of the 18 games Dallas played. Against the Raptors he spent 4 minutes on the field, adding one assist. But his hope still stood.
“I try to bring energy to the team, be ready when I have to come in and bring that energy to help the team and always train when I don’t have to play, he also helps Luka so he doesn’t get too tired. I lack rhythm but I’m happy”, affirmed ‘Facu’. It is speculation and speculation that Dallas, instead of trusting him as an alternative to his outside game, signed him to a one-year contract in October in order, in his third season in the NBA, to ensure pension which provides the best league in the world.
“Doncic is now a professional, he has the roof in his hands”
More than a partner, a close friend of a Luka he already met at Real Madrid, few know the Slovenian as Facundo Campazzo and to answer one of the recurring questions: What has Doncic changed to perform in more high level than the one last season?
“Doncic is going to get better and play better as the years go by, he’s still young (23 years), the ceiling is in his hands and it’s up to him if he’s too tall or not, he’s showing now, being a professional, we try to keep up with him, try to unload him, hit shots and penetrate to get a little bit. out of that game. Today (last night) they put two players the whole game but he always gives the extra pass, he is very generous. He is a winner”, highlights ‘Facu’ about a Luka who has silenced the critics about her alleged overweight.

In 24 points of the Slovenian, the rest of his teammates did not successfully complete the job this time on the Raptors court (105-100), which showed like the Celtics that Dallas is not consistent on a collective level. What do they need to be better at the team level?
“The shots we took tonight (28% on 3-pointers) were well taken, we took that extra step. The team has to be confident coming in, we have massive shooters. From there, we have to be calm, it works well. When we attack badly, we run wild at the back and when we defend well we get good shots. It’s also about constant penetration, because the 2-on-1 against Luka left us at 4-on-3″.
“Doncic and Jokic look alike”
Campazzo’s new phase with the Mavericks has similarities with the Nuggets in that in both cases he shared a dressing room. a balkan genius, Nikola Jokic (Serbia) in Denver, and Luka Doncic (Slovenia) in Dallas. “They play in different positions but they have the same talent, the stature to see the whole game, that intelligence that allows them to see everything before it happens. They take advantage when they receive 2-1 and pass the ball well. They win, when they lose they get angry and hurt. And in that they have that similarity”, highlighted the point guard from Córdoba.
“Real Madrid are playing at a very high level”
‘Facu’ Campazzo does not take his eyes off Argentina, and like Doncic, nor on a Real Madrid where he will soon return in the summer while his continuation in the NBA with another team is not resolved after being cut by Nuggets. The white team had an irregular start, especially in the Euroleague -now with 7-3 but reached a balance of 2-3-, and there was speculation about the possible departure of Shus Mateo.
“I try to watch the games whenever I can, because it’s difficult, or I’m late at night, or very early when I train. It’s always been talked about that Madrid has to win titles and I saw the games I saw this season at a very high level”, underlines ‘Facu’ Campazzo.
