Hardly the same winning figures in Espoo are seen as in Jyväskylä on Friday, but there is a massive favorite to meet Susijengi.
Lauri Markkanen was the horror of Belgium. Jani Korpela
The most interesting game of the day
Finland and Belgium will meet again on Monday, just a few days after Susijeng’s clear victory. Crushes 105-62 tell a lot, and especially Lauri Markkanen Susijeng’s record points 48 muted. Sure, the result does not tell everything, but Friday’s game first and foremost showed the difference between the rhythm and response of the teams.
On Friday, Finland took the grip right from the start. Markkanen was repeatedly found in the balls, and the NBA player finishing and feeding threat of the Belgian defense. Sasu Salin Moved on the arc and forced the defenders to react, so space also opened in the vicinity of the basket. The Finnish attack served as a collective, utilizing width and varied angles, not just individual performance.
Belgium had difficulties, especially in Transition defense. When Finland got a rebound or exploitation, the transition to the attack occurred in lightning fast, and Belgium had to be repeatedly defended in an imbalance. This nodded self -confidence and also took energy from the offensive end.
A short break between games gives Belgium the opportunity to adjust. In the second encounter, they are likely to try to slow down the tempo and cut down ball losses, which, if successful, would reduce Finland’s easy points. This requires, in particular, compacting the defense of ball -free screening and minimizing the risks associated with importing balls against the aggressive press of Finland.
Mentally, however, Belgium leaves from the back. The team knows that you can’t give Finland the same start as on Friday. If the Susijengi reaches its rhythm in the first period and the audience will incite the team with their encouragement, the difference may grow rapidly.
As I write this text, Veikkaus does not still have any items to the game on late Sunday night. In my estimation, Finland will win with an 85 % probability. The fair Totals line, on the other hand, is 159.5 points and, with a fair leveling of -12.5 points.
The match starts at 6:30 pm.
