Red Star beats Barcelona by 76:65 in a match filled with ups and downs. This victory comes on the same day as the confirmation of the F4 Tournament being played in Belgrade in 2018. A victory lead by the joint efforts of individuals that made up for some general errors. Tonight’s MVP is one of the youngest. Twenty one year-old Marko Guduric scored as many points, with a PIR of 30.

Highlights: Blažič takes down Real

Nekadašnji bek Crvene zvezde MTS, briljirao je u večerašnjoj pobedi Baskonije nad Realom. U meču koji je definitivno bio vredan gledanja i neizvestan do same završnice, slovenački reprezentativac ubeležio je 21 poen, od čega dve trojke ključne za pobedu svoje ekipe (87:91) i završetak pobedničkog niza Reala. 

In a tight match between Real and Baskonia, the guests have made it off with a win, thanks to an amazing performance of the Slovenian national and former Red Star Belgrade player, Jaka Blažič. The temperamental guard has scored 21 points, including key 3ptrs in the final seconds of the match that ended with a 87:91. 

After an incredible winning streak, of seven games and as many victories, Serbia has lost. Lithuania  was the team to break this amazing score, by a 67-64 win over the Eagles.

The Greens proceed into the final, as Serbia is left to fight for bronze on Sunday against an equally disappointed France. The host intends to end the competition with a medal, while Serbia is looking for at least a third place solace. Nevertheless, the 2016 Olympics will still stay as a hypothetical option for both teams, as only the spot in the final was a guarantee for a trip to Rio.

After a very week start, Spain continues to pull through even during the final rounds of the Eurobasket. A disputed win over Greece, after which Vassilis Spanoulis announced his retirement from the National team, Spain surpassed France, during last night’s first semifinal. This year France broke the tradition, in which the hosting nation were to reach the final phases of a major tournament. A new crowd record was set, at 26.922 spectators.

Another great victory for the Serbian National team on the Eurobasket. This time, against an expectedly tough opponent. The Czech team, lead by the 2,13m tall Jan Vesely, made sure there were no easy points. Their precision from the 6,75 border, as well as a strong defensive pace, gave team Serbia, a run for their money.

Očekivano težak meč protiv selekcije Češke, obeležen stalnim izmenama u oba sastava, te odličnim partijama Teodosića, Bjelice i Ercega. Kapiten je ovom prilikom uspeo da obori sopstveni rekord na šampionatu, od 13 asistencija, zabeleživši danas 12 poena i 14 asistencija, uz dabl-dabl učinak. Nemanja Bjelica imao je večeras 14 poena i 10 skokova, kao i 5 ličnih grešaka do kraja četvrte četvrtine.

As the eight-finals have come to a close, here is an overview of the entire round results, and the schedules for the upcoming quarterfinal matches, that await on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Nakon završetka runde osmine finala, sledi kratak osvrt na sve dosadašnje rezultate, te raspored  četvrtfinalnih mečeva. Uz napomenu da Srbija igra prekosutra, u prvom popodnevnom terminu, od 18:30 sati

France, as host, has come a long way. And after a victory against Turkey in the city of Lille, they are well into the quarterfinals. A record breaking European event, thanks to almost 27. 000 people. A total of 26. 136 spectators, that broke Red Star’s record, of 24. 232 souls, from March of 2014.  Obviously, both records represent modern achievements, that came after the downsizing of hall capacities, and new safety standards.

Today marked the end of the last group stage competition day. Spain has barely won over Germany,  in a match where the host had a chance to get to extra time, using free throws. Sadly for the home fans, Dennis Schröder missed the third throw, allowing Spain to win by a point (77-76). In the B group, Serbia took the first spot, by a fifth win on the Championship, over Italy.

A phenomenal Serbia enters the knockout phase of the European basketball championship from a B1 position, fulfilling its first goal of the competition. The players of coach Aleksandar Đorđević have marked another win in the group stage, making a perfect record, 5 out of 5.

Ponovo prava rapsodija reprezentacije Srbije. Pala je i Italija, čime su izabranici Aleksandra Đorđevića ostvarili savršen skor, od 5 pobeda u isto toliko utakmica. Ponovo je plesao po terenu kapiten Miloš Teodosić, sa ubačenih 26 poena. Njegovi potezi u saradnji sa Bjelicom i Raduljicom će nesumnjivo biti prikazivani iznova i iznova, kao neki od najlepših na šampionatu. Konačno je savladana i barijera od stotinu bodova, čime je srpska ekipa po prvi put postala trocifrena na šampionatu, rezultatom od 101-82, nakon dva slobodna bacanja Nemanje Nedovića, samo nekoliko sekundi pre kraja utakmice. Zajedno sa ali-upovima Nikole Kalinića, većinski naša publika u Mercedes-Benc areni je imala razloga za uživanje. Srbiji sada sledi zasluženi odmor do nedelje, i to sa željene B1 pozicije, nakon čega se sastaju sa Finskom, nakon njihovog poraza od selekcije Poljske.
