The defending champion was out in a surprise! Doncic broke the record, Antetokounmpo scored 25+14+9 and led the team to the top 16

The European Championship group stages are all over, and in the last round of the group stage, let’s take a look at the situation.

Greece 90-86 Spain

Among them, Antetokounmpo scored 25 points, 14 rebounds and 9 assists, and the Greek monster was well-known. With letters, the physical talent and terrifying basket impact, it is still easy to dominate the international arena. Greece also ranked first in Group C with a record of 4 wins and 1 loss, and advanced to the top 16. The only game that lost Antetokounmpo has not played yet. On the other side, the Spanish team was not so lucky. They ranked fifth in the group stage with only 2 wins and 3 losses, and missed the opportunity to qualify, creating the worst result in their European Championship history and the first time they were eliminated in the group stage in the team history. Spain has always been a traditional strong team in Europe and was also the champion of the last European Championship. At that time, the Spanish men's basketball team was led by the brothers Fernandez and Hernan Gomez.

However, since winning the European Championship in 222, the Spanish men's basketball team has begun to decline. They ranked 9th in the World Cup in 23, failed to qualify for the Paris Olympics in 24 years, and were eliminated in the European Cup this year. If we say that the reason why they are going downhill is the alternation of new and old, the young players are not able to take over the golden age behind the scenes, and the young players are not able to take over in time, and the quality and number of core players are seriously insufficient. It also has a certain relationship with the foreign aid policy of the Spanish Domestic League (ACB). High-level foreign aid has improved the competitiveness of the league, but objectively squeezed the growth space and key ball handling opportunities of a large number of local young players. The national team's fresh blood replenishment was therefore hindered. In addition, the overall defensive ability of the Spanish men's basketball team has declined significantly, and the tactical system seems to be unable to keep up with the trend.

Slovenia 106-96 Israel

Doncic played his personal best match this year's European Championship, with 12 of 21 shots, 4 of 11 three-pointers, 9 free throws, 37 points, 11 rebounds, 9 assists, 3 steals and 1 block. After this game, Doncic also broke the record, surpassing Dragic's 1,095 points with 1,100 points, becoming the scoring leader of the Slovenian men's basketball national team. In the first two games of the group stage, Slovenia ended in failure, and the promotion situation was in danger. Then, under the leadership of Doncic, he scored a three-game winning streak and achieved a reversal to advance to the top 16. For Doncic, his condition is not that stable, which may be related to weight loss this summer. After losing weight and gaining muscle, it will affect the feel of shooting. It is as strong as Curry experienced a bottleneck period after gaining muscle. Of course, Doncic's adjustment ability is still trustworthy.

France 114-74 Iceland

The French team scored 8 players in double digits, including several active NBA players, including Yabuselle scored 10 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, Coolibali scored 6 points, 6 rebounds, and Rissache scored 15 points and 7 rebounds. This year, this French team is more like a team with the whole nation, with no clear core scoring points. Although there are both No. 1 picks and No. 2 picks, but their stars like Rissach and Saar are not very good. The truly powerful No. 1 pick, Wenban Yama, did not attend this European Championship because she was recovering from her injuries. Including another inside player Gobert, he did not come, and Saar was injured in the previous group stage, so he was confirmed to miss the remaining games. It is still very difficult for the French men's basketball team to win the championship. The French men's basketball team with a complete lineup must be the most luxurious team in Europe. NBA stars are second only to the United States and Canada in the world.

The other matches in the last round of group stages, Belgium 70-69 Poland, Italy 89-54 Cyprus, Bosnia and Herzegovina 84-76 Georgia.

The next knockout rounds are all in one game, which is quite exciting. The 16-to-8 knockout match is out and will start on September 6. The specific schedule is:

17:00 on September 6, Turkey vs Sweden

20:15 on September 6, Germany vs Portugal

23:30 on September 6, Lithuania vs Latvia

2:45 on September 7, Serbia vs Finland

17:00 on September 7, Poland vs Bosnia and Herzegovina

20:15 on September 7, France vs Georgia

23:00 on September 7, Italy vs Slovenia

2:45 on September 8, September 8 Greece vs. Israel

In fact, there are several more exciting games, such as Turkey vs. Sweden. As the biggest dark horse of this European Championship, Turkey just defeated Serbia, the world's second-ranked Serbia in the group stage. Can Shenjing lead them further? In the words of the head coach of the Turkish men's basketball team: "I have said long ago that we have great potential and our goal is to win medals." Lithuania vs. Latvia, Valanciunas and Porzingis will face head-on confrontation. The most exciting thing should be Serbia vs. Finland. Jokic PK Markanen. Both of them are All-Star insiders. Although they are in the NBA, Jok Teacher is much better than Maka, but Maka's performance in this European Championship is very explosive and is not inferior to Jok Teacher. Who do you think can win?
