Giannis paves the way in Greece 🇬🇷 win over Italy 🇮🇹 at #EuroBasket 2025!
Inside.
That's Etzecopo.
We'll have a sideline possession.
Ball goes up there. No good.
Etzecopo. Somehow. Someway.
See that back leg fade. Not much you can do about that defensively.
Melli. He won't miss this time.
Captain Italia. Bursting through the paint.
Now back with Etzecopo.
Gallinari's trying to go on in this time.
Etzecopo. Rim rocker. Showstopper.
You see on the double going for the strip.
I think you just gotta put bodies.
Great kick out there from Giannis in that short roll.
You can see all the gravity he draws.
Beautiful pass.
Mean jab from Melli.
He'll be treading on eggshells now for the remainder of this quarter.
Etzecopo kicks it out.
Sloukas.
Three.
De Gea.
Nice pass. The Ulvis.
Blocked away. Costas Etzecopo.
Sweeping across with his right hand.
Now inside. Etzecopo.
Make room. Make space.
Spitzu.
Liang.
Rolling.
Liang.
Rises up to meet the Nazis in the air.
Almost some serious damage.
On the obelisk.
Steps back. Richie.
Letting off the banner.
This young player's done so many good things here at his Eurobasket debut.
Seems like people are excited about his future.
Oh, he looked to the other side of the ball.
Yeah, this is bad.
You're in the arena.
Alessandro Viola.
Finding Melli.
Looking for Liang.
Who attacks the rack once again.
This is the shot.
Espanyol on the ball.
Fakes and a rim.
71-66.
Etzecopo fakes to set the ball screen.
Gets the look inside.
What a smart play.
Lucas trying to get open.
Etzecopo sealing inside.
Oh, Viola.
Clock out.
Can it be the buzzer?
Well, that will do it.
That will be the game here.
75-66.
Greece is off to a winning start.
