The latest strength list of European Championships: Germany ranks first, Türkiye becomes the dark horse, and Serbia is third!

The group stage of the 2025 Men's Basketball European Championship has all ended, and the top 16 seats have been fully generated. Next is the more intense and exciting knockout round. According to the performance of each team in the group stage, FIBA ​​officially announced the latest strength list: Germany beat the heroes and ranked first, Turkey became the largest dark horse, ranked second, Serbia ranked third, and these three teams ranked first. The next strength rankings are: Greece ranks fourth, France ranks fifth, Italy ranks sixth, Lithuania ranks seventh, Latvia ranks eighth, Poland ranks ninth, and Slovenia ranks tenth. Compared with the strength list in the previous period, the rankings of teams such as Germany, Turkey, Poland, and Slovenia have increased, while the rankings of teams such as Serbia, France, Italy, and Lithuania have decreased.

The German team is very strong and has also performed very well in the group stage, ranking first in the group with a record of winning all five games. Judging from the style of play, Schroeder and Wagner have a very obvious effect in leading the team with dual cores, and both averaged 20+ points per game. In addition, Silva, Thes, Obst and others are also very good at strength. The team has very strong scoring ability both as the main players and as the substitutes, and the internal and external lines are relatively balanced. They have performed at the dominant level in the group stage and beat their opponents in every game. Next, the German team will play against the underdogs Portugal in the 16-8 game, and then against the winner between Italy and Slovenia. It should be relatively stable to enter the semi-finals.

The big dark horse in Türkiye's European Championship ranked only sixth in strength at the beginning. However, in the group stage, Türkiye's performance exceeded fans' expectations. Especially in the last focus battle, they defeated Serbia 95-90, locking in the group first. The leader of this Turkish team is undoubtedly Shin Kyung from the Rockets. He averages 21.6 points, 9.6 rebounds, 6.8 assists per game, and is the absolute leader of this team. In addition, the team also has former NBA players such as Ottoman, Yultseven and Kohlmakz, and Türkiye's strength cannot be underestimated. Türkiye's first knockout match against Sweden, then against the winners of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Polish men's basketball team.

Serbia was once considered the strongest team in this European Championship, because the team not only has Jokic, but also Jovic, Petrosev, Gudulic and other very good players. In the first few group matches, Serbia did perform very well, but in the last game against Turkey, although Jokic scored 22 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals, but because other players were in a normal state, the team eventually lost to the opponent and advanced as the second in the group. In the next game, Serbia will play against Finland, and then compete with the winners of Georgia and French men's basketball teams for the final four. It seems that there is no big problem to reach the final four.

In this issue's strength list, the ranking of Greece has not changed. In the group stage, Greece lost to Bosnia and Herzegovina in an upset, with a record of four wins and one loss as Italy. However, due to the mutual victory or defeat, the Greek team ranked first in the group and Italy ranked second in the group. The absolute core of this Greek team is undoubtedly the NBA super giant Antetokounmpo. His performance is indeed impressive, with averaging 27.7 points, 9.7 rebounds, 5 assists per game. In the next game, the Greek team will first face the Israeli men's basketball team, and then face the winners of the Lithuanian and Latvian men's basketball team. These teams seem to be no match for Greece, and the Greek team has a great hope of entering the semi-finals. Among the remaining teams, France, Italy and Lithuania are also traditional European powerhouses, and there are many players in the NBA. However, the problems of these teams are very obvious, which is that they lack absolute core and their overall strength is not too strong. Even if they can pass the next round, there is not much hope of reaching the semi-finals. As for Slovenia, the problem is that it is contrary to the previous teams. Although the team has NBA superstar Doncic, the abilities of other players are too average.
