Turkey eliminated Greece 94 to 68, and the European Championship final.
Last time Türkiye went so far... Lose to Durant in the 2010 World Championships?
The ace on both sides were not smooth:
Shen Jing made 5 of 15 shots, 15 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists, while Giannis made 6 of 13 shots, 12 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists.
Giannis faced: one man leads the defense, and the whole Turkish team locks the penalty area and waits for him. 1 free throw in the game.
In turn, Greece must rely on Giannis to attack alone because of Turkey's oppression and expansion of defense: it is difficult for the rest of Greece to dribble through half the game.
Shen Jing faced: Giannis.
Shen Jing hit 60% in the European Championships before today, and 5 of 15 today - he worked so hard to be guarded last time, but he was still four months ago when he was chasing his dream.
The number of defensive players in the year last season was third, and Giannis ranked eighth:
is still very reasonable...
Turkey shines, relying on the best game of Osmani's career: 28 points, 6 three-pointers: at the beginning, he used Giannis to replace defense to score a long shot - remembering the 2006 World Championship final, Spain's Gabajosa...
This is also the reason why Greece collapsed at the beginning: as mentioned above, it was locked by Ataman's Turkey; on the defensive end, it was too bad to switch to defense.
Giannis passed through the crowd more than once and forced a dunk: some passed through one person to lead the defense, carrying one and two slashes; some cut the bottom line and directly dunked.
But each one is hard: when Giannis gets the ball from the bottom line, the strong side and three people at the basket are cutting him.
Shen Jing's dunks mostly come from pick-and-roll cuts, of course not just attacking the basket.
For example, the best pass in the game is sent at the beginning, the ball is cut inward, and the bottom corner of the backhand pass is - field of vision.
The rotating chisel on the basket attracted Giannis's gaze; just as Giannis took off, it was passed to his blind side incisive teammates - time.
The real sword and gun were sharpened with Giannis for a long time, and the attack was successful - it was difficult, but it finally got into it.
Giannis is very strong, but Shin Kyung-neng and Giannis are in contact. Shin Kyung's Turkish teammates are far better than the Greeks.
So Türkiye advanced.
At last year's Olympics, Greece lost to the world champion Germany; now Türkiye is going to play Germany for Greece.
