This one had to be seen coming, but in view of tonight’s match and the Germans’ Euro as a whole… everything suddenly seems logical. On the evening of this large defeat as harsh as it was unexpected, Giannis Antetokounmpo for his part accumulated the routs since the defeat was therefore superimposed on a logical expulsion, and the double MVP will not have in the end even attended the end of that awful night. It’s tough, but to beat this German team it would have taken… two like him.
The recap of this fantastic Germany – Greece is right here
A match in two stages tonight for Giannis Antetokounmpo. First of all ? A first quarter between Neptune and Uranus, the Germans literally riding a wave twelve meters high and starting their match with an 8/11 from the parking lot… but a match made balanced by the Greek Freak and no one else.? Giannis’ stats following just ten minutes? 13 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, and all of Greece on the shoulders of Giaboy’s mover. The second quarter will be just as crazy, every time the Germans take a shot it goes in, and every time Giannis touches the ball it’s two points. A little unsportsmanlike to darken the picture a little, we’ll talk regarding it once more, but overall this first half is the best of this Euro and Giannis is not for nothing.
Then suddenly, little aliens showed up in the locker room of the Greeks at halftime
As in Space Jam, the talent of the stars is stolen by forces from elsewhere, and on returning from the locker room Germany passes a terrible… 20-1 to the Greek enemy, and the Freak like all his buddies finds his head in the water, unable to react to this incredible uppercut. A comeback attempt later orchestrated by guess who, the Germans will not let go and the Greek defeat gong will finally come 5 minutes from time when the Peloponnese star is guilty of a nasty gesture, more clumsy than malicious, on Johannes Thiemann aka the Tim Duncan from across the Rhine. Unsportsmanlike foul, following the technique received in the first half, and therefore towards the locker room and very quickly the airport tarmac because at the same time the Teutons finish the job in an atmosphere made deleterious by the 16 years of mental age of a happy and phenomenal Dennis Schroder this evening but still just as annoying for his opponents.
The stat sheet? 31 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists, and still that feeling of invincibility on a basketball court. Except that tonight Giannis Antetokounmpo lost and was eliminated, like Nikola Jokic the day before yesterday, and the status of double MVP is therefore officially not a wild card to access the continental Grail.
