EuroBasket – Thunderbolt for Turkey before the shock against the Blues! – Let’s Talk Basketball

by

It is a new competition which will start this Saturday for the France team, since from now on, the slightest defeat will be synonymous with elimination from this Euro. On the eve of the round of 16 against the Blues, the Turkish selection has just received terrible news that could change everything! After a lackluster, not to say disappointing, group stage, the French team will have to face a very solid team from the round of 16 of the EuroBasket. Indeed, Vincent Collet’s men will face Turkey this Saturday at noon, a team that finished second in their pool. We know that the Blues love adversity, so it’s not necessarily such bad news. But it will take a lot of concentration and determination to face Alperen Sengun and his teammates, as the Turks have been fighting with a spirit of vengeance since the start of the tournament. Following the huge altercation between Furkan Korkmaz and several Georgian players, coach Ergin Ataman and the federation are convinced that FIBA ​​is doing everything to defeat them, which gives a nice boost to the whole team. Shane Larkin absent for Turkey against France! Ataman also found a new reason for indignation before the shock against the France team, since according to him, the schedule of the meeting would have been specially selected to benefit Vincent Collet’s men… His murderous mood should not not work out this Friday, because he has just received terrible news from the doctors.

BREAKING: Shane Larkin needs to have surgery on his fingershttps://t.co/2Q5o4Id3SV— Eurohoops (@Eurohoopsnet) September 9, 2022 Shane Larkin needs to have surgery on his fingers, he will miss the rest of the EuroBasket. Reference at the EuroLeague level, Shane Larkin is the real metronome of the Turkish workforce, he who turned to 9.2 points, 3.6 rebounds, but above all 7 assists on average in the group stage! Without him, the opponents of the Blues this Saturday could be sorely lacking in inspiration on the offensive level, which is a considerable advantage. Evan Fournier and his teammates would probably have preferred to face a 100% Turkey, but it will still have to do the job.

The Blues are favorites, even more after this news, but the game is not decided in advance!
