A crazy night! Germany narrowly won the championship, the best team was released, Xiao Hei was out of place but the biggest winner

September 15, from last night to today, the European Championships on the basketball court also experienced a crazy night. The last two games were the bronze medal battle and the championship battle, which were very intense and exciting. It is worth mentioning that after the championship battle, that is, the final battle, the best team of the European Championship was also released. Jokic missed, and Schroeder, a little out of place.

Greece-Finland

In this men's basketball European Championship, Antetokounmpo's performance was excellent before Greece entered the semi-finals; however, in the semi-finals, Antetokounmpo encountered crazy defense, and his personal performance declined directly led to Greece's defeat to Turkey and missed the semi-finals. Finland lost to Germany in the semi-finals, and Markkanen was also hard to save.

The first half of this bronze medal match was a bit one-sided. In the first 6 minutes of the first quarter, the two teams were still playing back and forth, but in the last 4 minutes, Greece led 12-11 and scored a climax to end the first quarter with a 9-point lead 24-15. As soon as the second quarter began, Finland scored a climax under the leadership of Mulinin and chased it to 26-27 and fell one point behind; but then the Greek team expanded its lead to 10 points under the leadership of Antetokounmpo. Finland scored 33-37 and then cut off power in the final stage. Greece scored another climax to end. At the end of the half-time game, Greece led by 14 points 48-34.

The change of sides and the two teams played back and forth in the third quarter. Finland once narrowed the gap to single digits in the middle, but the Greek team responded to a climax in the final stage and ended the third quarter with a 13-point lead of 69-56. In the first 7 minutes of the fourth quarter, Greece maintained a double-digit lead, with a 17-point lead at most. However, in the last 3 minutes, the Greek team, which led by a big score, was a little relaxed. The tenacious Finland caught 82-86 in less than 52 seconds of the game, and returned to the suspense of the game. Fortunately, in the last moment, Antetokounmpo's stable free throw helped the Greek team narrowly defeat Finland 92-89 to win the bronze medal.

Germany-Turkey

Both teams performed very well before the finals and maintained a complete victory. The teams that won the finals will win the championship with a complete victory, and the history of the European Championship is rare.

At the beginning of the first quarter, Turkey played very well and quickly led by 11 points 13-2; but the German team quickly made a 12-1 climax and chased to 14-14. Immediately afterwards, the two teams had a back and forth, and the scores alternated. At the end of the period, the German team played a small climax and ended the first quarter with 2 points leading 24-22. At the beginning of the second quarter, Germany scored 4 points in a row and led 28-22; but Türkiye then scored an 8-0 move to take the lead. After several rounds of back and forth, after the scores were tied many times, Türkiye reached a climax in the final stage and ended the first half with a 6-point lead of 46-40.

As soon as the third quarter came, the German team overtook the score again under Schroeder's leadership. After that, the two teams entered a tug-of-war with each other again. The scores were always close together. After the three quarters, Türkiye led by 1 point 67-66. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Türkiye once again established a 6-point lead, but Germany overtook the score less than 4 minutes of the game with their magical three-pointer. As the game entered the critical moment of the last minute, Türkiye was 1 point behind, Shin Kyung missed the opportunity to the basket; then missed a tied three-pointer, and the German team narrowly defeated Turkey 88-83 to win the championship.

All awards were released

After the German team won the championship, various awards in the European Championship were also released. First of all, Schroeder won the MVP of this European Championship. By the way, Schroeder was also elected as the MVP after leading the German team to the World Cup in 2023. In addition to this European Championship MVP, there is no doubt that in the German national team, Schroeder has surpassed Nowitzki to become the GOAT of the German basketball world.

The subsequent best team of the European Championship was slightly surprising. Markkanen, who entered the semi-finals and averaged 23.1 points, 8.1 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game, missed, and Jokic, who averaged 22.3 points, 9 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game, also missed.

The 5-man selected for the best team and the European Championships are:

Doncic: 34.7 points, 8.6 rebounds, 7.1 assists

Schroeder: 20.3 points, 3.4 rebounds, 7.2 assists

Wagner Jr.: 20.8 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists

Antetokounmpo: 27.3 points, 10.1 rebounds, 4.1 assists

Shen Jing: Among the five-man team in the best team of 21.6 points, 10.1 rebounds, 6.6 assists,

, among the five-man team in the best team, Doncic, Shin Kyung, Antetokounmpo, and Wagner are all All-star players in the NBA, and they all received maximum salary contracts of more than 200 million yuan; on the contrary, Schroeder, who entered the best team and was elected MVP, did not get a big contract, which seemed a bit out of place but was the biggest winner. It is worth mentioning that in the Best Lineup, Doncic is the only one who has not entered the semi-finals, so he did not come to the scene to receive the award.

This just shows that players who are not so strong in the NBA may become big killers in the international arena; while in the NBA, they are big killers, and they can also become big killers in the international arena. To sum up, the NBA's level is really high, and it's only a few levels.
