The European men s basketball battle, Germany staged a comeback show, Slovenia stopped, and the semi-finals were finally announced!

The second half of the 2025 Men's Basketball European Championship quarter-finals staged a series of exciting battles. The fierce competition between the four teams, Finland, Germany, Slovenia and Georgia, brought this European Championship to a climax and also allowed fans to have an unforgettable basketball night. With the end of the game, all the semi-finals were released, and the matchup pattern in the semi-finals has been officially formed: Turkey faces Greece, Finland faces Germany, and each game is full of suspense and highlights.

In the Finland match against Georgia, Finland continued its previous hot state of defeating Serbia. The whole team cooperated tacitly and the offense and defense transition was smooth. In the first quarter, Finland quickly took the initiative, and the team's efficient offense made Georgia unable to defend. Yangtuning performed well on the court, and the substitutes took turns to make efforts. The core Markkanin even had to "avoid the edge for the time being" to avoid the opponent's focus on key defense too early.

, Georgia seems to be powerless. The offense and defense ends were significantly behind in the first quarter, and even if the score was gradually recovered in the second quarter, it was still impossible to reverse the disadvantage. The main defender Baldwin completely lost himself at a critical moment, and the bench was almost silent, and the depth of the team's lineup was in sharp contrast to Finland. At the end of the half, Georgia was 17 points behind 40-57, and the situation was almost irreversible. In the second half of the game, Finland's feel fluctuated and its offensive efficiency slightly declined. Georgia once narrowed the score difference to single digits, and the suspense of the game was once rekindled. However, physical fitness issues and lineup discipline have become Georgia's fatal shortcomings. Bitaze and Senglia were sent off for violations one after another, and the morale of the whole team was significantly frustrated. In the end, Finland secured the victory 93-79. Throughout the game, Finland contributed 26 assists, 17 three-pointers, and a shooting percentage of up to 55%, demonstrating the overall strength and tacit cooperation of the team. Markkanen scored 17 points in a limited time, reserving strength for the upcoming semi-finals, which also made fans look forward to his performance.

Another focus match against Germany against Slovenia was also full of drama. At the beginning of the game, Slovenia was dispatched and the team cooperated tacitly, establishing an 11-point lead in the first quarter. Doncic is in a hot state and almost supports the team's offense with his own strength. However, the German team gradually stabilized its position and obtained free throw opportunities through Wagner Jr.'s frequent killings and free throws. Coupled with the tough defense of Schroeder and other starters, the score gap began to be slowly eroded. As the game entered the final quarter, Doncic still insisted on being present for four fouls, his personal performance was still dazzling, scoring 39 points in the whole game, but his teammates scored limited support, and Germany's momentum of chasing points became increasingly fierce. The German substitute stood up at a critical moment, staged a small climax, and instantly reversed the situation on the field. With the final whistle, Germany completed a thrilling comeback 99-91 and successfully advanced to the semi-finals. Although Doncic tried his best, he was still unable to save the situation. Slovenia stopped regretfully, becoming one of the biggest regrets in this round.

This night, the Men's Basketball European Championship once again proved the charm and unpredictability of basketball. Finland's full outbreak, Germany's final quarter reversal, and Doncic's personal courage all made this game a classic battle. The final four rosters finally settled, and the semi-final matchup is expected: Turkey will face Greece, and this collision between traditional powerhouses will surely sparkle; and the showdown between Finland and Germany is also full of suspense, with both tacit understanding of the team and collision of personal abilities.

For fans, this is not only a basketball game, but also a double feast of vision and psychology. Every breakthrough, every three-pointer, every key defense may change the direction of the game. Finland demonstrates the charm of team basketball, Germany proves the importance of perseverance to the end, and Doncic's performance once again sees the value of superstars at critical moments.

It can be predicted that the semi-final stage will be more exciting, and any team may create surprises. The charm of basketball is not only in the victory or defeat, but also in the passion and drama that burst out during the game. As the 2025 Men's Basketball European Championship comes to an end, what fans are looking forward to is not only the title of the champion, but also the tense and exciting moments brought by every game.
