The Euroleague has been trying to incorporate a team of Great Britain for years but, seen what has been seen, it will have to wait a lot because the country’s basketball level is light years of what it should for it. An example is your selection, which continues to chain defeats for more than 20 points in this Eurobasket. After the first two days against Lithuania (70-94) and Finland (109-79), today its executioner has been Sweden, which has surpassed it by a forceful 78-59. The British have more or less defended themselves until the break (30-35) but from there they have blurred before a rival in which Pelle Larsson (23 points), Melwin Pantzar, 12 points, 8 rebounds and 21 of valuation) and Simon Birgander (8 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 24 of valuation have stood out)
Iceland has questioned the forecasts for many minutes but in the end he has failed to keep his front and has ended up giving in to Belgium by 64-71. The team of Craig Pedersen has relied on the great meeting of the Surne player Bilbao Safe Hlinasson (20 points, 10 rebounds and 32 valuation) to arrive six points ahead at the end of the third quarter (52-46). Everything to think that Iceland would take the game when it has reached the last four and a half minutes seven points up (62-55), but from there an unexpected and spectacular partial of 2-16 has ended has taken Belgium to turn the scoreboard. The Emmanuel Lecomte Base, with 16 points and 6 assists, has been the best Belgian player.
The world champion has started throwing this Eurobasket. After its two initial victories against Montenegro (76-106) and Sweden (105-83), Germany has also responded perfectly to its first lithuania entity rival, which it has bent by 88-107. Three games and three victories scoring more than 100 points. Lithuania has only sent on a couple of occasions at the beginning (15-13, 18-5) but from there the great German success has been imposed on the triples (19 scored with 54%). Dennis Schroeder (26 points) and Franz Wagner (24) have joined this time Daniel Theis, author of 23 with a perfect 9/9 in field shots. The former Barca Rokas Jokubaitis has been the best of Lithuania with 20 points and 6 assists, although he has committed 5 losses. In Lithuania final bars the Baskonia Tadas Sedakerskis player’s injury, whose gravity is not yet known.
The absences of their two heavyweights, the Barca Tomas Satoransky and Jan Vesely, are weighing as a slab in the selection of the Czech Republic, which is making numbers to erect in the worst team of the tournament, with a permission from Cyprus. After falling on the first day against Portugal (50-62), the team led by the Spanish Diego Ocampo has also fallen into his second game, this time also clearly against Estonia. The Nordics have not weighed their second game in less than 24 hours and have surpassed their rival from beginning to end 75-89. The ACB Henri Drelll (15 points) and Kristian Kullamae (16) have been the best in Estonia.
