Eurobasket 2025: Germany surpasses Turkey and is champion

The current world champion, Germany, revalidated as a giant in Europe with a victory over Türkiye.

Germany, current world champion, was crowned for the second time in its history as Queen of Europe after beating Turkey 88-83, after a very equal confrontation in which the final moments knew how to manage better with the decisive contribution of the talented base base Dennis Schroder, Chosen best tournament player.

The stimulus of winning for the first time the tournament in its history, where the best achievement to date was silver as hosts in 2001, made the Turks be unleashed. Fluids in the outer launch, eager to try to mark the rhythm of the game, jumped on stage with a 13-2 partial prepared by three of their struts; Shane Larkin, Cedi Osman and Alperen Sengun.

A rival who has the habit of not losing his calm in any situation was not intimidated, virtue that accompanies those who, with sufficient motifs, trust themselves. That is why it did not take too long to balance the score thanks to Isaac Bonga, a luxury secondary that arrived with the medicine cabinet to suture the wound with seven points in a row inside a 1-12 partial. With no one capable of taking off, despite the fact that Germany clearly dominated the rebound and distributed more assists, a truce was signed that accompanied until the end of the first quarter.

The team of Álex Mmbrú returned to the parquet, but a partial of 8-0 of those in Blanco grabbed them when they tried to raise the flight. And then Sengun arrived. The Ottoman pivot of the Houston Rockets, who in this European has dared to sit on the table of Doncic, Jokic or Giannis Antetokounmpo, He went into a trance to nail twelve points in a row. Osman and Also Bonaleaving the result at 46-40 for yours.

In two and a half minutes since the departure of the changing rooms, with a 3-10, the Germans had already counteracted the disadvantage and sailed again to their opponent. The dynamic was not altered even when a robbery from Larkin to Tristan da Silva, followed by a triple of Osman, at that point already with 20 points, returned the +6.

Two triples -appointed in which they signed 5 of 8 in the third act -, one from Da Silva himself and another by Johannes Thiemann, who also finished off with a posterior palm, not only annulled the disadvantage but also turned the result around. The consequence is that, at half an hour, everything was almost at the beginning.

However, the feeling was that Türkiye’s key men were working better than those of Germany. Sengun, Bona and Osman; authors of all points of your team during the 13 minutes after rest; They were a headache, especially the first, that despite accumulating three personnel at the edge of the break continued to dance in the painting while adding more than 20 points with one and a half played from the decisive room.

Not even those Germans trembled. Again with two triples, one from Andreas Obra and another by Isaac Bonga, they put themselves to the front at a delicate moment, less than three and a half for the conclusion. Kenan Sipahi, also from outside, turned off the fire already lacking two minutes, both were equal to 79.

Larkin, with two free and one penetration, left Daniel Theis’s triple to put his own up in the absence of one and a half. The context claimed heroes and that role assumed it gladly, with his proverbial cold blood, Dennis Schroder. An entrance to the basket and a medium distance shot, with a failure under Sengun in between, drove to the three of favorable rent.

I am not happy with that captured the bounce after the triple with which Sengun the draw was looking for, scratching two free throws that did not fail to finish off the task and prolong the golden age of German basketball, which already dominated the world and now does the same with its continent, without having lost a single game throughout the tournament.
