In the previous men's basketball European Championship 1/4 finals, the Finnish team suffered a big reversal in the second half after leading in the first half. They eventually lost to the Spanish team 90 to 100 and stopped in the quarterfinals. Next, the Spanish team will face the German team in the semi-finals to compete for a spot in the finals.

In the game, the Finnish team's inside core Lauri Markannen (Lauri Markannen) continued his outstanding performance. He played 34 minutes and 42 seconds, shot 11 of 17, 2 of 5 from beyond the three-point line, and 6 of 7 free throws. He scored a game-high 28 points, plus 11 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals. His performance was respectable.

I have to say that Markkanen did his best in the game. In the second half, when other players were unable to score, Markkanen carried the team forward entirely by himself. The 213cm tall man not only had to complete the hard work under the basket, but also often dribbled the ball through half the court. He really lacked a reliable helper around him to share the pressure for him.

In this European Championship, Markkanen averaged 27.9 points, 8.1 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.4 blocks for the team in 28.4 minutes per game. His 27.9 points per game ranked third among all players, and his 8.1 rebounds per game ranked ninth among all players. It is no exaggeration to say that Markkanen is one of the best players in this European Championship. He is on par with Luka Doncic (Luka Doncic) and Giannis Antetokounpo (Giannis Antetokounpo).

The Finnish team can enter the top 8 of the European Championship, and most of the credit must be attributed to Markkanen. If it weren't for his series of incredible and crazy performances in the previous games, the Finnish team would never have gotten this far in this European Championship. I believe that Utah Jazz fans should be the happiest people at this moment. I thought Markkanen was just an addition in the Donovan Mitchell deal, but I didn't expect that his performance would be so outstanding. He is simply the top star in Europe?
