Slovenia defeated Germany 91-99 in the quarterfinals of the European Championships, and after the game, a number of players, including Doncic, expressed their dissatisfaction with the penalties, while head coach Sekulic complained that his team did not get the respect they deserved.

Sekulic said, "First of all, congratulations to Germany for advancing to the semifinals. I can now start talking about what happened from the first minute of the game, there was a very strange situation on the field."

"I feel sorry for the players, but I don't want to talk about it because to focus the conversation on the penalties would be to devalue the players' game performance."

"I know we have a great superstar, Luca, but it's not easy for his teammates around him. It's really hard. To be treated with total disrespect like we were today really hurts the team. It's also incredibly sad to see the players in the locker room in pain."

"I thought the team played really good basketball today and we were the better team. But I think we have to apologize for being such a dirty team today, and it's amazing that we had so many fouls in the last quarter ......"
