Victory for Greece in the EuroBasket qualifiers

·

The Greek Men’s National Team completed the EuroBasket’s qualifiers from the first place of the 6th group with a 5-1 record and a “printed” ticket for the final phase of the EuroBasket 2025, which will be hosted in Cyprus, Latvia, Poland and Finland, from August 27 to September 14.

Greece prevailed 63-53 over the Netherlands at the packed Dimitris Tofalos Arena for the 6th and final matchday, with the guests having been eliminated from the final phase with a 1-5 record.

After the introductory first quarter, which found the two teams tied 18-18, Greece activated its defence, went on an 8-0 run for 26-18 at 15 minutes, while with a partial score of 16-5 in the second period, it headed to the locker room, having built a double-digit lead (34-23 at 20 minutes).

The difference “climbed” to 14 points in the 24th minute (42-28), while a temporary relaxation brought the Netherlands to -9 (48-39) in the 30th minute. However, Greece reacted immediately, secured a double-digit difference in the 34th minute (55-43) and did not feel the breath of the guests until the finale.

The National Team’s leaders were Giannoulis Larentzakis and Vassilis Toliopoulos with 14 and 11 points, respectively, while in his debut, Alexandros Nikolaidis scored 7 points and 2 rebounds and Homer Netzipoglou scored his first points with the Men’s Team (2 points).

From the Netherlands, Janik Kraag and Jacobus Stolk fought with 14 and 13 points, respectively.

Now the Greek Men’s National Team is counting down to the draw on March 27 in Riga, Latvia, in order to find out their opponents in the group stage, in Limassol, where they will be leading.
