The start of the second in a row European Championship tournament for the Turkish national team was unsuccessful. The Italian national team did not leave any chances and won a landslide victory (3:0), thereby confirming their status as the favorite of the group. It may be recalled that Chenol Gunesh’s wards made it to the Euro from the second place in the group, where they became the authors of the victory over the world champions, namely the French national team (2:0). It is noteworthy that at the stage of selection “lunar stars” were skipped only three times. The Turkish squad suffered its first defeat in Rome in 2021. The start of the selection for the World Championship in Qatar went well, ending in two successful fights and a draw. In control duels, the team beat Azerbaijan (2:1) and Moldova (2:0), which confirmed the good form of the Turkish national team.
The Reindeer finished third in the Eastern Conference, behind are only the Nets and Sixers. Of course, it is very important to get in good shape during the main tournament, but the most important thing starts in the playoffs. In the first series, the Milwaukee players did not notice Miami, although it seemed that last year’s finalist would fight. Yannis Adetokunbo and company did not leave the slightest chance to the opponent, as they won all four confrontations. The Bucks were well aware that the battle against Brooklyn can be compared to the final, because the Nets is more than a worthy opponent. It all started clearly not in favor of Mike Budenholzer’s charges, since they had to lose twice at the start. Then the club from Wisconsin gathered strength into a fist and played two fights. Of course, Kyrie Irving’s injury played into hands and now the guests are in a winning situation, but no one canceled the fight.
