Another 41-point victory! If the team continues like this, let alone Serbia, even Germany will be worried

There are three teams in the 2025 Men's Basketball European Cup that are regarded as favorites to win the championship, namely Serbia, Germany and France. The Serbian team has good players such as Jokic, Bogdan, Jovic, and the German team has good players such as Schroeder, Wagner Jr., and Theis. The French team has good players such as Rissach (NBA No. 1 pick), Saar (NBA No. 2 pick), Yabussele, and Kulibali. These three teams have the best strength on paper. However, because the core players of the French team lack experience in the competition, the Serbian and German teams are more favored.

The Men's Basketball Team's European Cup has been playing for several days. Serbia, Germany and France are currently unbeaten, but Serbia and France have exposed problems. Let’s look at the Serbian team first. They won all three games, but in addition to their strong performance in the first game (34 points against Estonia), they did not show dominance in the last two games. In the last two games, they won 11 points for Portugal and 4 points for Latvia.

The big problem for Serbia team is: the core of the outside line Bogdan was injured (his hamstrings were pulled against Portugal). Without Bogdan, their outside firepower was seriously insufficient, so they could only use Jokic. When playing against Latvia, Jokic played for 32 minutes, made 15 of 26 shots, scoring 39 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals, but the team only won 4 points. If Bogdan cannot come back in time, Serbia may be eliminated in the future if it encounters a strong team.

France has played 2 games, winning 28 points for Belgium and 8 points for Slovenia respectively. The problem exposed by the French team is that the shooting is unstable and the cooperation is not tacit. Their winning mainly depends on the huge advantages of physical talent. If they encounter opponents with physical, shooting, and tacit cooperation in the future, it will be difficult for them to win.

The German team has played 3 games, and their performance in three games is excellent, winning Montenegro by 30 points, Sweden by 22 points, and Lithuanian by 19 points. Lithuanian has also won two consecutive victories before, but he did not expect to lose to Germany by completely. The German team has shown strong strength. They have excellent offense and defense, and balanced internal and external lines. Their current performance is much better than Serbia and France.

As of now, if Bogdan cannot recover from health as soon as possible, the German team hopes to win the championship will be greater than that of Serbia, and the French team should not be a match for the German team, but there is a dark horse team that has the hope of defeating the German team, which is the Turkish team.

Shen Jing and Bona in the Turkish team are active NBA players. Ottoman, Kokmaz, and Yultseven have also played in the NBA. Their overall strength is very strong. Shen Jing is even more unstoppable in this competition, averaging 19.7 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists, with a shooting percentage of 70.6%, leading the Turkish team to win all three games. They first defeated Latvia 20 points, and then won the Czech team 14 points. In the early morning of this year, they defeated Portugal 41 points, and won 75 points in 3 games, surpassing Serbia, which won 49 points in 3 games, ranking first in Group A.

Turkey's net winning score in three games not only surpassed Serbia, but also Germany (71 points). It is currently the team with the highest net winning score in the European Cup. If the Turkish team continues like this, they will also become the favorites to win the championship. Not to mention the Serbian team without Bogdan, even the German team with balanced offense and defense is not sure to win the Türkiye team.
