On September 13, Beijing time, the Men's Basketball Team's European Championship was the first to start a semi-final match. The German Men's Basketball Team, the favorite to win the championship in this event, faced the Finnish Men's Basketball Team, the largest dark horse among the semi-finals. The latter is the only team in this team to reach the semi-finals of the European Championship for the first time. From the perspective of lineup depth, the German team is obviously better than the opponent in terms of star quality and competition experience, and the two teams met in the group stage, when the German men's basketball team defeated Finland 91:61.
After the start of the game, the Finnish team felt good. In addition to Markanen, substitute Nkamwa provided very good firepower support today. The two teams showed a balanced momentum in the first quarter, and the German men's basketball team took a slight lead with 30:26.
However, after the test, the German men's basketball team continued the group stage, which was to cut off Markanin's contact with his teammates and make him pay the price on the defensive end. So after that, both Wagner and Schroeder crazily named Markanin and his inside teammates, which made Markanin exhausted. In this game, he only had 16 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist, and made 2 of 9 three-pointers. The German men's basketball team implemented the tactics well and won 10 points in the second quarter.
In the third quarter, Nkamva continued to explode, helping Finland to a small climax, narrowing the gap to single digits. Although the overall shooting rate of the German team was not high, the three-point shooting rate was very accurate, and they made 14 of 35 shots, which made the Finnish team struggle to chase points but could not evenly erase the gap.
In the fourth quarter, Schroeder and Wagner Jr. began to harvest the game, especially Schroeder, who scored 26 points in the No. 1 position with almost no one to stop him, and Wagner Jr. also used his physical fitness to attack the inside strongly when he felt poor. The two NBA core rotation scored a total of 48 points in this game, and two of them hit 17 free throws. In the end, the German men's basketball team defeated the Finnish men's basketball team 98:86, locking their first place in the finals, waiting for the winner between the Turkish men's basketball team and the Greek men's basketball team. Their strong competitors, Serbian men's basketball team and French men's basketball team, were eliminated in this tournament, and the best chance to win the championship is here.
