Another NBA star has fallen in battle. After Jokic’s Serbia, Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Greece is prematurely eliminated from Eurobasket. Defeated by Germany (107-94), the Greeks took a three-point lesson.
The 31 points collected by the double NBA MVP before were not enough for the Greeks, already led 96-82 at the time of the second unsportsmanlike foul from the Greek Freak, excluded in the last five minutes.
When the Milwaukee Bucks star sent his arm into the face of Alba Berlin winger Johannes Thiemann, Germany were already racing ahead. And Giannis Antetokounmpo already seemed on the way back, one lap after the other double MVP, Nikola Jokic, ejected in the round of 16 with Serbia.
Germany will play Spain
A sickly clumsiness in the third quarter weighed down Greece, which conceded a 20-1 (77-62) when it returned to the locker room in the lead (61-57). Yet undefeated in the group stage, she left the European Championship at the quarterfinal stage for the third time in a row. Germany will come up against Spain, Finland’s loser.
