This is more or less what was planned since the end of the group stage on Thursday evening, and the logic has therefore been respected since we will therefore find Germany and Greece face to face on Tuesday at 8:30 p.m. as part of the quarters finals of the EuroBasket 2022. A room on fire and Germans with the wind at their back, enough to overthrow the ogre Giannis Antetokounmpo and his followers?
After Slovenia – Poland, Finland – Spain and Italy – France, we know the last quarter-final on the program and the full bracket has just come out of the oven. Tuesday evening at 8:30 p.m. in Berlin, the German hosts will therefore face Giannis Antetokounmpo, their cheerleader Thanasis and a long-toothed Greece teamalthough pushed to their limits this evening by a team from the Czech Republic who held on for about 35 minutes, thanks in particular to a great start from Jan Vesely and another big game from Tomas Satoransky with… 17 assists.
A round of 16 that was nothing short of a health ballad for a Giannis who had been slowed down for a long time in attack, and Tuesday evening will therefore be yet another sauerkraut for the Greek Freak and his brothers because it is the German team and therefore an entire people who will stand up against them. With Dennis Schroder, Franz Wagner and Daniel Theis for the NBA bail, Maodo Lo, Andreas Obst and Niels Giffey to send pralines from the parking lot and the old grognards from the racket to try to stop the Bucks TGV, coach Gordon Herbert has in in any case at his disposal a group capable of pissing off the Greeks and have perhaps shown since the start of this Euro that they could also sit with them at the table of the favorites of the competition.
8:30 p.m. Tuesday, we will obviously detail this big shock very quickly, in a Mercedes-Benz Arena which will smell good of beer and sausage. We couldn’t find a better generality, at the same time I’ve never set foot in Germany, sorry.
