3:12pm, 4 September 2025Basketball
The European Championship group stage is coming to an end. In the last round of the game, let’s take a look at the situation.
Turkey 95-90 Serbia
I never expected that Turkey could defeat Serbia in an upset and become the biggest dark horse in this European Championship. In terms of world ranking, Serbia was second in the world, second only to the United States, and Turkey ranked 27th. As the Turkish head coach said, their goal is to defeat Serbia in the finals, and it has already been done in the group stage. In this game, Turkey's leading star Shin Kyung was in excellent condition. He played in 36 minutes, made 10 of 17 shots and scored 28 points, 13 rebounds and 8 assists, and another Turkish NBA player, Ottoman, was also very efficient, scoring 16 points and 2 assists for 6 of 10 shots. Until now this summer's European Championship, Shin Kyung has never scored a single game, and he has dominant power than in the NBA, and is top-notch on both offense and defense.
Serbia, although Mr. Yokki's shooting percentage is also very high, making 10 of 16 shots, he only scored 22 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists. The data output is worse than Shin Kyung. You should know that Shin Kyung's title was originally called "Little Jokic", but in the European Championship group stage, Shin Kyung's overall performance crushed Mr. Yok. As the first person in the NBA to fight, Jokic's data and dominance in the international arena are average, which may have something to do with the team's tactical system. It may also be that Jokic is conserving his strength and is still paddling. In any case, it may not be easy for Serbia to win the championship. They only won 4 points against Latvia in the group stage and lost to Türkiye. Now, Türkiye ranks first in Group A with 5 wins and 0 losses, while Serbia ranks second in 4 wins and 1 loss.
Germany 91-61 Finland
It seems that the German men's basketball team is the real big devil. Until now, the German team has won a big score in every game. In the last game, they defeated the UK by 63 points, setting a record for the largest score difference in the 21st century European Championship. This time, it beat Finland by 30 points. In terms of world rankings, the German men's basketball team is second only to the United States and Serbia, ranking third in the world. Judging from the lineup, there are not many NBA stars in the German team. Like Schroeder and Wagner Jr., they have average status in the NBA and have never been selected as All-Stars. Then they performed very well in the international arena. In this game, Schroeder made 7 of 13 shots and scored 16 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists, Wagner Jr. also made 7 of 13 shots, scoring 23 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, and the other two NBA players, Theis scored 7 points and Bonga scored 6 points.
For the Finnish team, Markkanin was no longer magical, only scored 11 points and 9 rebounds, and made 4 of 15 shots. In the previous group stage and warm-up matches, Maka Tianshen came to earth and scored 40+ points in a single game many times. He scored 48 points in a single game. On the one hand, he is indeed capable. As an NBA All-Star center, he has rich offensive skills and stable outside shooting ability. On the other hand, Finland's overall strength is limited and he relies too much on Marca in scoring. Unlike Serbia, where the overall strength is strong, Jokic has room to paddle. In the NBA, Maca has been in a relatively average state in the past two years, with data declining year by year and also deviating from the All-Star level. Perhaps the Jazz didn't reuse him much, and their performance in the international arena this summer has been able to help Maca play back its value in the NBA.
France 83-76 Poland
The lineup of the French men's basketball team was originally very luxurious, but with the retirement of veterans such as Batum and Fournier, Vinbanyama and Gobert failed to attend due to injuries. Last year, the second-placeman Saar also suffered a calf strain in his previous game, and there were not many NBA players left. In this game, Kulibali and Rissache played badly, with high picks. Kulibali scored 3 points and 2 rebounds, while No. 1 pick Rissache made 0 of 4 shots and did not score a single point, only 4 rebounds and 3 assists. But captain Yabuselle exploded super, scoring 36 points and 6 rebounds to lead the team to win.
In fact, at last year's Paris Olympics, Abussele was eye-catching, averaging 14 points per game and shooting percentage exceeded 50%. Since the 18-19 season, Abussele has faded out of the NBA and wandered in the overseas league, but his outstanding performance at the Paris Olympics last year allowed him to regain the olive branch from the NBA team. Last season, with the 76ers, Abuselle averaged 11 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game. This summer, Yabuselle moved to the Knicks and signed a two-year, $12 million contract with the Knicks.
Some other games in the same round, Latvia 109-75 Czech, Lithuania 74-71 Sweden, Portugal 68-65 Estonia, and Britain 89-83 Montenegro. Vucevic tried his best, scoring 31 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists.
