The first semi-finalists of the tournament were determined in the European Basketball Championship.
The Greek national team could not justify the title of one of the favorites of EuroBasket 2022. The team led by NBA superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo lost in the quarterfinals of the tournament.
The Greeks were stopped by the Germans, who defeated the opponent with a score of 107:96. The decisive match was the third quarter, which Bundestim won with a score of 26:10.
Note that the Greek national team, annoyed by the defeat, began to play openly rude at the end of the game, because of which their leader Giannis Antetokounbo was removed from the site.
