On August 6, Germany faced Greece in the quarterfinals of the Olympic men’s basketball tournament. Although Giannis Antetokounmpo delivered another diligent performance, Greece’s overall strength fell short against Germany. Ultimately, Germany defeated Greece 76-63 and advanced to the semifinals. Giannis had an impressive game, but unfortunately, he couldn’t carry the team alone, as his teammates provided limited support.
Throughout the match, Giannis shot 9 for 14 from the field and 4 for 6 from the free-throw line, scoring 22 points, dishing out 3 assists, and grabbing 2 rebounds. Despite facing tough defense from Germany, Giannis managed to score the highest points of the game, showcasing his two-time NBA Most Valuable Player form. Unfortunately, his teammates’ performances were lackluster.
The team scored a total of 63 points, with Giannis accounting for more than one-third of those points. While Giannis shot 9 for 14, his teammates combined for 16 of 36, a shooting percentage below 45%. In contrast, Dennis Schröder only scored 13 points for Germany, but his teammates contributed significantly, leading to an easy victory for Germany. For Giannis, if he wants to make an impact with the Greek national team, he will need more help from his teammates.
In this Olympic journey, Giannis played four games, averaging 25.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 3.5 assists, with a field goal percentage of 67.8%.
