On September 11, the European Cup of Men's Basketball Team continued. After the German team reversed and defeated Slovenia, all the semi-finals of this European Cup have been released, namely Turkey, Greece, Finland and Germany! The semi-final matches are as follows: Turkey vs Greece; Finland vs Germany. All four teams have NBA stars, Shin Kyung will compete with Antetokounmpo, while Markanen will face Schroder and Wagner.

Turkey has maintained a record of winning all seven games so far in this tournament. It should be noted that the last time the Turkish team reached the semi-finals of the European Cup was in 2001, when they won the third place, which was also their best record in team history. Now that they have reached the semi-finals again, they are very likely to create the best record in team history.

The last time the Greek team won the European Cup, it was dated back to 2005, and now they are expected to win the championship again after 20 years. In Antetokounmpo's career, he has never led the team to win the top three, and he has a very good chance to achieve this this year. On the Finnish side, they also created miracles. After eliminating Georgia, their team reached the semi-finals of the European Cup for the first time. It has to be said that when the Finnish team is not optimistic, they have been creating miracles, and they are the unyielding dark horses of this event.

The German team won the championship in the last Men's Basketball World Cup, but the last time they won the European Cup was dated back to 1993, and 32 years have passed since this year. In the last European Cup, the German team only finished third, and now they have a very good opportunity to compete for the championship.
