8:50pm, 2 September 2025Basketball

On September 2, in the group stage of the European Championship, the Serbian men's basketball team and the Turkish men's basketball team in the same group both defeated their opponents. Among them, Serbia, led by Jokic, defeated the Czech Republic 82:60, scoring a huge score difference of 22 points, while Turkey, led by Shen Jing, defeated the Estonian men's basketball team 20 points.

In this game, Rockets center Shin Kyung scored 21 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, and also scored two three-pointers, showing his skills as an all-round center again; while Jokic "skipped" throughout the game. He only scored 6 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists in this game. It can be said that Jokic did not use all his strength at all, and could help Serbia defeat the Czech team. Obviously, Jokic aimed at the next game, which is the peak showdown between Serbia and Turkey.

We know that both the Turkish team and Serbia have already qualified from the group stage, but the first place in Group A has not yet been decided. In other words, the next peak showdown between the Turkish men's basketball team and the Serbian men's basketball team will determine who is the top spot in this group. The match will be held at 2:15 am on September 4th.

Although the Turkish men's basketball team looks inferior to Serbia, they also have several NBA players, such as Shin Kyung, the All-Star Center of the NBA last season, Ottoman, who played for the Cavaliers, and Yult Severn, who played for the Heat. Don't forget that there are also defenders Larkin, who played for the Mavericks. These players have certain strength, among which Shin Kyung is naturally the best. He is now the top center in the European Championships and even the NBA.

Therefore, the showdown in this game is not only a desperate battle between Türkiye and Serbia, but also a direct dialogue between Shin Kyung and Jokic, the technical center. It is said that Shin Kyung is "Little Jokic". So what kind of performance can Shin Kyung play when he meets Jokic himself? Very worth looking forward to.

The head coach of the Turkish men's basketball team, Ataman, also talked about the next game with Serbia. He said that the Turkish team will try their best to defeat their opponents, become the top spot in the group, and strive to compete with the fourth place in another group; even if they lose, it does not mean that they will miss the medal goal, so their real goal is to defeat Serbia in this European Championship final.

This is the goal of Turkish coach Ataman. He wants to let the team defeat the powerful Serbian team, and he hopes to meet with Serbia in the final and defeat them. Ataman issued a "resolute victory order", not only to defeat Serbia in the group stage, but also to defeat his opponent even if he enters the finals. Obviously, this is for Rockets center Shin Kyung to listen to. After all, as the team's first star and core player, Shin Kyung's performance has a far-reaching impact on the Turkish team. If he can perform normally in the previous four group stages, the Turkish team will have a chance to compete for a medal and even enter the finals.

Of course, if Shin Kyung does not perform well in suppressing Jokic, the Turkish team will likely miss the first place in the group. Therefore, Shin Kyung's performance also determines how far the Turkish team can go in this competition. Since Ataman issued a "resolute victory order", Shin Kyung must be the most critical player of the Turkey team, so this is not an exaggeration to say.
