Lauri Markkanen did domestic basketball history in a national match against Belgium in Jyväskylä on Friday.
Susijeng’s NBA star was in a completely unrestrained mood. Finland crushed Belgium with numbers 105-62, and as expected, Markkanen was clearly the best player in the field.
The superman who played in front of his old home corners in front of the audience set a new national team record. Markkanen scored as many as 48 points. This is five points more than the previous one match record.
The star player showed what was coming from the beginning. Markkanen was responsible for the first ten points in Finland and led Susijeng to a clear 53-34 lead. Markkanen’s first half balance was 22 points.
Markkanen styled two minutes before the end of the beautiful third basket and passed his previous record with this throw. Finland exceeded the limit of one hundred points as Markkanen was still on the free throw line to finish the final score.
After that, he came in and received the applause of the LocalTapiola Arena viewers.
“Rusty”
Susijeng head coach Lassi Tuovi praised the stunning presentation of the NBA man in an interview with Ruudu.
– In Finnish basketball history, we live in moments to enjoy. I think the audience here.
Markkanen also went to an interview with Ruudu to tell about his mood.
– It’s cool when I broke it at home. I have to thank the teammates, they made it easy for me.
Markkanen became quite a comment compared to the record -breaking.
– I just tried to survive. I haven’t played the basket since March. There was a little rust yet.
Finland will meet Belgium again on Monday. The match will be played at the Espoo Metro Arena.
Susijengi is preparing for the European Championship, starting on August 27. Tampere hosts block B where Finland plays.
