Losing with 3 points! Greece missed 4 consecutive victories and lost a good game: Letters are absent, brother and younger brother are 9 points and 9 fouls

Basketball

On September 2, the men's basketball team in the European Cup, Greece played against Bosnia and Herzegovina. The letters were absent from this game due to injury, which was also the second game he missed in this cup. However, Greece once took the initiative on the field, but then Bosnia and Herzegovina made a wave of fire to directly reverse the situation. Greece's offensive condition was very bad. He narrowed the score difference with poor free throws in the last quarter, but unfortunately it was too late. In the end, Greece lost to Bosnia and Herzegovina 77-80, and the three consecutive victories were ended.

Greece has previously won three consecutive victories and secured a top 16 seats. The next step is to see if it can win the first place in the group. However, before the game, Greece announced that Antetokounmpo was absent due to a knee injury. However, the team's overall performance was not good and he was able to take the initiative on the field. However, the offensive state suddenly fell silent and was chased by Bosnia and Herzegovina and was 6 points behind after halftime. Greece was still in a bad state in the second half. Fortunately, Bosnia and Herzegovina was not in good shape. Greece once narrowed the score difference in the last quarter, but it was still a little bit worse and eventually lost the game by 3 points.

If Greece could win Bosnia and Herzegovina, it would have a chance to lock in the top spot in the group. After all, Italy and Spain would have to talk directly. Once Spain loses, Greece could lock in (win against Italy), and then the last round of the match against Spain will be safe. It’s a pity that Greece has failed to continue its momentum, especially with Antetokounmpo’s absence, the overall strength of this team has also declined by a level.

Although the reason given is knees, it is likely to be a tactical rest. Greece wants Antetokounmpo to get enough rest time and then prepare for the next strong dialogue with Spain. It was like in the previous back-to-back match, Antetokounmpo took a rest in the previous game and then played in the second game. At that time, Greece won a complete victory, but this time he lost. If they cannot win against Spain in the last round, they may be ranked third or fourth.

There is no Antetokounmpo, and his brother and younger brother played very hard on the court, but there were many fouls, with two people committing 9 fouls in total (sent off for 5 fouls in international competitions). Among them, Antetokounmpo played for 18 minutes, scored 2 of 4 shots, scored 4 points, 4 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks, which was very active on the court, which eventually led to 5 fouls. He will continue to play with the Bucks in the new season; his younger brother played for 14 minutes, scored 2 of 2 shots, scored 5 points and 6 rebounds, and also had 4 fouls.
