Eurobasket is over for us. Lot of emotions now, but in general we lost against stronger team. And Giannis wasn't even biggest problem today. We gave too much freedom for Toliopoulos who made few important 3-pointers. But main problem was our offence. Without Jokubaitis our offence was main. Also, we didn't had stretch four who would be dangerous at 3pt line what would be game changer.
Congrats to Greece, deserved.
Turkey continues its unbeaten run. Under Alperen Şengün's leadership, we're having a very good tournament, with all our players playing with great focus and passion.
Poland was good in the first quarter, but not bad, but Turkey was more controlled in the following quarters.
Alperen Şengün also became the youngest player in Euro Basket history to record a triple-double: 19 points, 12 rebounds, and 10 assists. He's the only Turkish basketball player in tournament history to achieve this feat.
Triple double from Sengun, I think it's first ever Eurobasket where we saw already 2 triple doubles. And it's not over yet. In general, confident Turkey win, you controlled whole game, despite Poland doing their best.
Now there is derby between Greece and Turkey in semifinal. Should be hot.
Alperen Şengün became the fifth basketball player to record a triple-double at the European Championship.
FIBA did not include Stojan Vrankovic in the 1995 list because his block count was not confirmed.
Alperen carried his team once again today. I'm curious to see if the young player can lead Türkiye to its first European basketball championship.
