The group stage of the men's basketball European Championship continued. In a focus game in Group C, Italy faced the dark horse Georgia. In the first round of the game, Italy seemed to have little choice but to face the Greek team and eventually lost to the opponent! Georgia was facing Spain, and they beat their opponents by 14 points and had a good start! The competition for qualifying in this group is very fierce. In addition to these two strong teams, there are also Bosnia and Herzegovina, Spain and Greece. It can be said that 5 teams compete for 4 qualifying places. The victory or defeat of each game is crucial!

Even every point is very important, so after the start of this game, the competition between the two teams was very fierce. Both sides played back and forth, and the scores were very close. However, in the second half of the first quarter, Italy's defense began to upgrade!

Their oppressive style made Georgia feel a little uncomfortable and began to make frequent mistakes. Italy seized the opportunity to counterattack and gradually opened the score. Georgia did not score in 5 minutes!

In this way, Italy scored a 7-0 offensive. With Nion's 3-pointer hit, Italy gained an advantage of 8 points 18-10 in the first quarter!

The defensive intensity given by both teams is very high, but Georgia's offense is still unexpected. However, in the second quarter, they finally regained their touch. The team kept hitting the inside and scoring, chasing the gap to 2 points!

Bitazze and Baldwin scored consecutively, helping Georgia overtake the score for a while. The confrontation between the two sides was also very fierce. In the first half, no one took advantage! In the second half of the game, the two teams scored each other, and Georgia once led by 4 points, but Italy was not to be outdone. Meli's key 3 points, Fontechio continued to hit the inside and scored, and Italy regained the lead!

Although Sanasse's 3 points helped Georgia stop the bleeding, their offense still had a low shooting percentage, and Italy re-established a 6-point lead. In the final quarter, I thought the two teams would fight to the end, but Georgia was disappointing again!

Spisu made a three-pointer, and Diov and Nian's counterattack made Georgia unable to defend itself. On the offensive end, Georgia didn't make any shots. As a result, in more than 3 minutes, Italy scored a 13-0 super attack wave!

The difference between the two teams instantly reached 19 points, but Georgia called a timeout again. At the critical moment, he had to rely on the stars. Bitaze hit 2+1 consecutively and chased the difference to 13 points!

In the subsequent games, Georgia did not go very smoothly, and the referee's penalty also affected Senglia's mood. He was originally very unhappy with 0 of 8, but he complained continuously about the referee and was expelled from the court!

Italy took advantage of the situation to widen the gap of nearly 20 points. In the end, there was no suspense in this game. Italy defeated its opponent 78-62 and won the first victory of the group stage. There is still a great chance to qualify!

In the whole game, three Italian players scored in double digits, but the multi-point bloom made the team's offense very smooth. Georgia made only 3 of 21 three-pointers, and 14% of the shots were hit, which was really difficult to help them win! If you want to qualify in the group, Georgia will have to be more cautious and careful in the next game!
