On August 28, 2025, the first day of the Men's Basketball European Championship began, and the eyes of the basketball world gathered in the arena. Many NBA stars put on the national team's jerseys and fought for their respective national honors. Their wonderful performance made the first-day game full of highlights. Teacher Yo and Shin Jing scored quasi-triple doubles and led the team to a big victory. The international killer Markanen scored 28 points again. But the young player Quita's magical weapon from heaven showed his courage, and he might be the best player today. The showdown between Serbia and Estonia can be regarded as a battle of huge differences in strength. With its strong lineup depth and tacit cooperation, the Serbian team controlled the rhythm of the game from the beginning. Jokic of the Nuggets, the two-time NBA regular season MVP winner, is undoubtedly the focus of the game. He played for only 23 minutes, made 3 of 4 shots, 5 of 6 free throws, efficiently scored 11 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists, with a plus-negative value of up to +39. In the first quarter, Jokic was like the team's brain. His passing vision was excellent. He gave out just the right passes many times, helping his teammates score easily, and gave out 3 assists in a single quarter, helping Serbia to a fantasy start of 32-12. On the defensive end, Jokic used his solid footsteps and accurate judgment of the rebounding point to grab key rebounds many times, causing Estonia's second offense to suffer repeated setbacks. Bogdan Bogdanovic of the Clippers also performed well. He played 25 minutes and 26 seconds, made 4 of 5 shots, 1 of 2 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, scored 11 points, 2 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 interruption, tied with Jokic for the assists. On the court, Bogdan actively connects his teammates. His breakthrough ability is a big killer for the team's offense. After attracting defense, he can always cleverly pass the ball to the open teammates, adding more changes to the team's offense. Especially in the second quarter, Bogdan used breakthroughs many times to disrupt Estonia's defensive formation, helping Serbia further expand its lead. However, he also made 5 turnovers and 2 fouls in the game, which affected his personal efficiency to a certain extent. In the end, Serbia defeated Estonia 98-64 and achieved a good start. The match between Germany and Montenegro was equally exciting. Schroeder of the Kings and Wagner of the Magic team teamed up to show their strength and led the German team to beat Montenegro with a score of 93-63, showing strong championship strength. Schroeder scored 22 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists in the whole game. He was extremely fast and skilled in ball control. He was like a smart little fish on the court. He broke through the Montenegro's defense line many times, either scored by himself at the basket, or attracted defense to create open shots for his teammates. Wagner Jr. contributed 21 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. He has a variety of offensive methods. He can not only make decisive moves from the outside to hit difficult three-pointers, but also score strongly in the inside with his physical advantage, which has brought great trouble to the Montenegro's defense. The two scored a total of 43 points, which was the biggest contributor to the German team's victory. The game between Turkey and Latvia is the focus of the battle, and the match between Rockets center Shin Kyung and Wizards center Porzingis has attracted much attention. Shen Jing played 27 minutes in the game, made 7 of 12 shots, 0 of 1 three-pointers and 2 of 2 free throws, scored 16 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, with a plus-negative value of up to +17, and had a clear advantage in the direct dialogue with Porzingis. Shin Jing has rich offensive methods in the inside, his steps are flexible and changeable, and he has turned and made jump shots many times. He can also create scoring opportunities for his teammates through accurate passes, almost revitalizing the Turkish team's offense with his own strength. Porzingis made only 3 of 12 shots in the game, 0 of 5 three-pointers and 4 of 4 free throws, scoring only 10 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal, and made 6 mistakes, with a plus-negative value of -17. He felt cold on the offensive end, missed many shots, and failed to limit Shin Kyung on the defensive end. In the end, Turkey defeated Latvia 93-73.

In other games, Lithuania beat Britain 94-70, and center Quita's performance was amazing. He played 30 minutes in the game, made 11 of 15 shots, including a three-pointer, scoring 23 points, 18 rebounds and 4 blocks, with a plus-negative value of up to +21. Quita made great contributions to the team on both offense and defense. When attacking, his strong attack and support in the interior were extremely threatening; on the defensive end, he used his height and wingspan advantages to send blocks many times to protect the team's basket. Finland narrowly defeated Sweden 88-85, and the Jazz's Markkanen scored 28 points and hit a key three-pointer in the final stage of the game to help Finland secure the victory. His outstanding performance became the key to Finland's victory. After the first day of the game, who can win the title of Best Player has become a hot topic among fans. Jokic has comprehensive data, leading the Serbian team to win easily, showing his MVP-level dominance; Shin Kyung played a quasi-triple double data, beat Porzingis, and was a key figure in the victory of the Turkish team; Schroeder and Wagner Jr. scored 43 points together, which was the biggest contributor to the German team's winning. However, Quita may be the most qualified to be the best player of today with her luxurious data of 23 points, 18 rebounds and 4 blocks, her comprehensive performance on both offense and defense and her super control over the game. The tough inside strength he showed in the game made people see his huge potential.
