Shen Jing won 24+16+6 to lead the team to advance to the quarterfinals. The overall condition of the team is unstable and still needs to be adjusted.

On September 6, 2025, the men's basketball European Championship knockout round began. In the game against Sweden, everyone knew that Türkiye should be able to advance, but the game process was much harder than expected. They were still behind in the first half, but fortunately they performed very well in the third quarter and finally reversed 85:79 and won the victory.

The core of Turkey, Shen Jing, made 8 of 16 shots in this game, made 8 of 12 free throws, and scored 24 points, 16 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocks. He grabbed 9 offensive rebounds, and still played very well. Although there was a problem with his free throw at the last moment, he performed very well in the second half with only 3 of 10 shots in the first half and eventually led the team to advance.

For Turkey, they performed very dominantly in the group stage and could win against Serbia. However, it is indeed a bit surprising that they did not win easily against Sweden with average strength. They need to adjust their state as soon as possible in the next time. After all, in the next quarter-finals, semi-finals and even finals, they will face stronger teams. If they cannot adjust their state, the next game may be very difficult.
