The European basketball championship is not in favor of the best player in the NBA, because after the Serbian Nikola Djokic the Greek Giannis Antetokounmpo was eliminated. Germany were very strong in the quarter-finals and now face world champion Spain.
Greek star Giannis Antetokounmo did his part with 31 points and 8 assists, but after a strong third quarter the Germans faced a 96-82 lead.
After two unsportsmanlike mistakes, the Milwaukee Bucks star was disqualified in the final quarter. Thus Germany managed to reach the longest goal with 107-96.
In the semifinals, world champion Germany will face Spain, which eliminated Finland. Halfway through the Spaniards were still behind, but the NBA stars surpassed the world champion: 100-90.
Tomorrow the poster of the other semifinal will be announced. Then Slovenia, which eliminated the Belgian Lions, will face Poland. France vs Italy.
