The European Cup semi-finals of the men's basketball team have ended, Germany defeated Finland 98-86, and Türkiye defeated Greece 94-68. In this way, Germany will compete with Turkey for the final championship, and both teams won 8 consecutive victories, which also set a new record for the European Cup, with two teams winning 8 consecutive victories reaching the final for the first time; Finland, as a big dark horse, also ended regretfully, and will compete with Greece led by Antetokounmpo for the third place.

In the match between Germany and Finland, Finland took the lead in taking the initiative, but soon Germany recovered its state and overtook the score with a wave of offensive force. After that, it took the initiative in full, without giving Finland any chance to counterattack, and reached the final with an eight-game winning streak. Schroeder scored 26 points and 12 assists, while Wagner Jr. scored 22 points. The two have maintained excellent performance in this European Cup, which is also the key to Germany's successive victory.

, as the big dark horse, Finland was eliminated, but their performance has been recognized and received a lot of applause. In the unfavorable situation, the group stage first had three consecutive victories to secure the top 16 seats, and then faced the strong Serbia in the 18th final, but unexpectedly advanced directly; in the quarter-finals, facing Georgia, which also advanced unexpectedly, Finland easily won, and reached the semi-finals for the first time in the team's history. Unfortunately, they failed to continue this time, but it was beyond expectations to reach the semi-finals, so they can still attack the third place next.

Another showdown between Türkiye and Greece was thought to be a peak showdown, but unexpectedly, a one-sided situation occurred. Türkiye took the initiative early, while Greece could not keep up with the rhythm at all, and the score gap was constantly widened. After the third quarter, it was already 21 points behind. Turkey was still in a hot state in the final quarter, and the game was lost early. Osmani in Turkey made 6 three-pointers and scored 28 points, becoming the team's super surprise; while Shin Kyung still had a comprehensive performance of 15 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists. They also reached the final with an eight-game winning streak, and the team returned to the European Cup final after 24 years of history.

The reason why Greece is completely passive is also related to Antetokounmpo's performance. This time he was completely restricted and scored the worst performance in this European Cup, with only 12 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists in the game. You know, he averaged 29.8 points in previous games, and no surprises stood up around him, which also put them completely in a passive state. Germany and Türkiye, which have won 8 consecutive victories, will compete for the final championship, and one team is destined to win the championship with a full victory, which means they will become the fourth team in European Cup history to do it.
