The

warm-up match ended, and the Greek men's basketball roster was also released. However, in this game, Antetokounmpo was still swinging his arm and dunked in the first half, scoring 20 points in 21 minutes (4 of 7 + 12 of 14 free throws). As a result, France suddenly got into intensity in the third quarter, overtaking the score 28-12 in a single quarter, and finally took away the victory 92-77, ending the warm-up with an unbeaten record.

France Maleton made three-pointers and two-pointers (2+2 of 2), with 16 points and 5 assists as the engine; Abussele and Rissache scored 14 points each, rushing Greece's defense to pieces. Greece was able to lead by 6 points in the first half and was strangled by the defense in the second half. The collapse in the third quarter was too fatal.

More importantly, Greece's lineup adjustment: Cut Zugris and confirm the 12-man roster, and Antetokounmpo's three brothers are all there! Sanassis has just recovered from a torn Achilles tendon (injured in May 2024), and this warm-up match is also considered his rehabilitation acceptance. Head coach Span Norris said Zugris had “promising future” but now he had to make a spot for the European Championship roster.

In the next European Championship, Greece relies on the three brothers Antetokounmpo to support the game, but the weak problem exposed in the warm-up match must be solved quickly. After all, the intensity of the European Championship will only be higher. France can make the defense full of reversals, and other teams will not be polite. It depends on whether Antetokounmpo can develop the toughness of the second half with his brothers - I can't let MVP-level performances fall into the defensive pit in the third quarter every time, right?
