The Asian Cup is over, what are you going to see next? The most exciting basketball game in the world! It’s finally here!

Many basketball fans may have questions: "The Asian Cup is over, the NBA has not come yet, what basketball game will be next?"

Brothers, 2025 Men's Basketball European Championship (FIBA EuroBasket 2025), let's learn about it!

This is the highest-level basketball event under the FIBA ​​system in my mind, and it is the "Champions League" in the basketball field.

It is no exaggeration to say that from a competitive perspective, the attractiveness of the European Championship to me is beyond the current NBA and Olympic men's basketball and men's basketball World Cup.

Because the level is close; because the game is smooth, it is a purer basketball game.

In a warm-up match early this morning, Serbia defeated Slovenia 106-72. Jokic played in 19 minutes and scored 10 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists. Doncic played in 27 minutes and scored 17 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists. The European Championships before

were held every two years, and now they are held every four years.

The last time was in Berlin in 2022 (mask delays), and it was Spain who beat France in the final to win the championship, and Hernan Gomez won the MVP.

In the past 6 competitions, the Bullfighter has won three championships, worthy of the king of Europe.

But with the retirement of the golden generation represented by the Gasol brothers + Navarro + Rudy, Spain went downhill, and France and Germany rose strongly.

The European Championship that impressed me the most was Slovenia beat Serbia in 2017, and Dragic scored 35 points...

At that time, Doncic, who had a delicate face, was selected into the best team.

8 years later, Luca became the well-deserved boss of Slovenia and led the team to the battle again.

Let's talk about this year's European Championship.

Group stage: From August 27 to September 5, it will be jointly organized by Cyprus, Finland, Latvia and Poland.

Knockout stage: From September 6 to September 14, it will be held in Riga, the capital of Latvia.

24 participating teams are divided into 4 groups:

Group A: Serbia, Latvia, Czech Republic, Turkey, Estonia, Portugal;

Group B: Germany, Lithuania, Montenegro, Finland, United Kingdom, Sweden;

Group C: Spain, Greece, Italy, Georgia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cyprus;

Group D: France, Slovenia, Poland, Israel, Belgium, Iceland.

single loop within the group, and then each group has advanced to the top 16, A1VSB4, A2VSB3, and so on.

The new strength list, Serbia, Germany and France ranked in the top three, followed by Lithuania, Latvia, Italy, Turkey, Greece, Finland, Slovenia...

Serbia is the biggest favorite to win the championship, and has sent Jokic, Bogdanovic, Thunder Topic, Heat Jovic and Wizards center Vukcevic. There are 5 active NBA players alone, which is the most luxurious lineup in Europe.

The new World Cup champions in Germany include Schroeder and Wagner Jr., Shenjing, Turkey, Markkanin of Finland, Antetokounmpo of Greece, and Doncic of Slovenia... There was an incomplete statistics before, and 24 NBA players competed in the European Championships this summer.

Unfortunately, the number one monk Wen Ban of Shaolin Temple and the French Gaota Gobert will not go to the battle.

However, if you only use the number of NBA players to measure the level of European teams, it can only be explained one thing: you don’t understand European basketball, you don’t understand the differences between FIBA ​​games and the NBA.

Every time I watch them play, I will "fuck" again and again, sighing at the charm of the team. Every player of theirs thinks about the speed of the game, which is amazing.

A large number of unball running, passing timing judgment, defensive prediction... There are as many as 5-7 follow-up options for tactical changes, players need to read the defense instantly to respond, and they play too advanced.

European inside players generally have high-level support, medium- and long-distance shooting and low-level singles. Even if we may not be able to read his name...

If you watch the European Cup and then watch most of the Asian Cup events, you may not be able to continue... Because although they are all playing basketball, the Asian Cup is more like a slow-let-down game.

The awesome thing about European basketball is that they are all high-end products produced by the same assembly line.

It is not like super strong teams like Serbia and Germany, but Cyprus and Iceland, and they play very well.

Yes, Iceland, which is famous for its football, has a population of only 400,000, and has reached the European Championships of the Men's Basketball Team.

You're welcome, the Chinese men's basketball team struggled to play in Iceland. They beat Türkiye and Italy in the European qualifiers... Has this subverted your perception?

Their core is big center Helinasson (Bilbao).

The Dutch men's basketball team, which had been in the warm-up match with the Chinese men's basketball team, couldn't get in...

To say more, in the recent warm-up match, Finnish eldest brother Markkanin was too outrageous, averaging 40.3 points and 8.7 rebounds per game... The shooting percentage was 68.6% and the three-point shooting percentage was 53.8%. There will be a lot of "upsets" you think in the European Championships, and that is when you see the team where the NBA star is located "turned off".

But if you know European basketball, it's not cold at all.

For example, Slovenia will not be able to beat Poland (lose 3 years ago) and Israel; Greece will be beaten by Georgia, which is not very news.

I have said before: If the 12 participating teams in the Olympics do not divide the quota by continent, they will be divided into groups and will be played with them. There will be at least 8 European teams, and there will be no Asian teams and African teams.

If 32 teams in the World Cup also let go, then more than 24 European teams will be.

Croatia, a traditional strong team with Zubac, Saric and Hezonia, missed the European Championship for the first time in history. Before

, Zubac once wanted to recruit Mann to become a naturalized player... isn't it outrageous?

This is the horror of the overall level of European basketball, it's too curly...

Finally, I would like to say more: the last time an Asian team won the Olympics was in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and the Chinese men's basketball team defeated Germany 59-55.

Yes, it's just so outrageous.
