In a previous group match between the men's basketball European Championship, Turkey defeated Serbia 95-90. After this game, the Turkish team, which won five consecutive victories, was tied to 5 wins and 0 losses in the group stage, ranking first in the group stage; while Serbia team, which suffered the first defeat in the group stage, had a record of 4 wins and 1 losses, and its ranking was overtaken by Turkey and dropped to second place in the group. Next, Turkey will face Sweden in 1/8, while Serbia will face the challenge of Finland in 1/8.

In this game, the performance of Turkey's naturalized player Shane Larkin is impressive. Larkin played 39 minutes and 18 seconds in the game, made 7 of 13 shots, 5 of 8 from outside the three-point line, and 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 23 points, 2 rebounds, 9 assists and 1 steal. There was also 1 foul, with a plus-negative value of +8. Larkin also showed quite good shooting ability on the offensive end. He seized the limited opportunity and hit a large number of three-pointers, which provided great support to the team. Larkin's performance in passing and organization is also quite good. He is also the team's backcourt core and can play the role of sorting out the team's offense. Larkin's performance on the defensive end is also quite standard and can be maintained at a high level. Overall, Larkin also played his own characteristics and made great contributions to this key victory of the team. Since the start of the European Championship, Larkin has averaged 29.4 minutes in the first five games, with averaging 10.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.6 steals, 1.8 turnovers and 0.8 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 50%, a three-point shooting percentage of 42.9%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 81.8%, and a plus-negative value of +16.4 per game. Larkin's performance in the previous few games can only be considered average. His performance is not bad. He can also play a certain effect in passing and organizing, but he does not make many shots in most games, and his ability in scoring has not been fully displayed. In this game, the Turkish team welcomed its strongest opponent so far in the European Championship. In this case, Larkin also fully utilized his abilities in all aspects of the offensive end, and he also proved that he was able to take on more responsibilities.

Larkin was born in October 1992. He is 32 years old, 180cm tall and weighs 79kg. He is the backcourt player selected by the Dallas Mavericks in the 2013 NBA Draft. Larkin's draft pick is not low, but his performance in the NBA arena is very average, and he left the NBA field early. In recent seasons, he has played for Anadolu Efes, a giant Turkish league team. He has performed very well in the European arena and has become a naturalized player for Turkey. It seems that Larkin's importance in the Türkiye team is also very prominent. As long as he can perform at his own level, the Türkiye team is capable of defeating any opponent?
