[Step-Back Lauri]

Portugal led Germany after first half, and only on 4th Germany woke up and annihilated them.

Serbia-Finland 86-92 Huge win!!
Lauri 34min, 29/8/3, 8/24, 3p 1/9, FT 12/13, +12, 4st

Lauri had a great game with beautiful fade aways, 3p did not go down but fantastic effort throughout.

Is Lauri too good for the tank,

What an upset!

Valtonen was clutch AF.

 

[SoberasHotRod]

It feels like Lauri is drawing way more fouls than normal. Was this the case last Eurobasket?

 

[Namely]

Eurobasket 2022 6G 48/53 FT's. A lot and ... normal?

I think the biggest difference in this tournament compared to what Ive seen before from Lauri is his passing lane awareness and use of hands on defense is so much inproved.

Consider this:
He has 3 games with 4 steals (including last game vs Serbia).

In his entire NBA career he has the same amount of 4+ steal games. In his All-star season with us he didnt have a single 4+ steal game and only 3 games with 3 steals (in this tourney he has 3+ in 4 of 6 games).

Also cannot emphasize enough how much Jokic coasting on perimeter defense helped Finland score as high as they did.

They hunted him and shot over him all game long, including the two clutch 3s by Valtonen which were isolation plays, not catch and shoots.

Georgia beat France 80-70 so next will be Finland-Georgia.
