A wild game develops between the co-guides and a surprise team. In one phase, the game threatens to tip over – tension occurs again.
Finland’s basketball players are in the semi -finals for the first time at the European Championship. The team led by NBA professional Lauri Markkanen prevailed in Riga in the quarter-finals in the duel of the surprise teams against Georgia with 93:79 (57:40).
In the fight for the final entry, the Finns could meet Germany on Friday. The world champion will deal with Slovenia around NBA superstar Luka Dončić in his quarter-finals on Wednesday evening (from 8 p.m. in the live ticker at T-Online). In the preliminary round, Germany in Tampere had won 91:61 against the host of the group phase.
Finland had sensationally switched off Serbia in the round of 16. Against Georgia, which had also surprisingly won against France, Markkanen and Co. were clearly superior from the start. After the change of sides, the Georgians came up again to six points, but the Finns no longer came in danger.
