Netherlands 🇳🇱 v Poland 🇵🇱 | Extended Highlights | FIBA Basketball World Cup 2027 European Qualif.

To the crowd, good crowd in the gym here in Den Haag. Three and a half thousand seater facility and the team that came sixth in Eurobasket which they did with some style winning their little three-team group. The Netherlands in the traditional orange and we're underway and the Netherlands will hunt that great hustle. Superstar for the Netherlands. We'll move it on when he puts it on the floor. Tries to get a little separation. Harding puts up the quick release on the three is good. You cannot allow him to catch. Poland will space off the horn set. Harding nice lift, nice execution to go deep. Okay with the jump hook is good. Anicia with one easy looking hook but hey if you don't guard people in transition and they turned it over. Four on one, three on one break. Just make the right decision. Gets a bit messy so they'll recycle. Van der Verst for three is fouled and will have to earn them on the free throw line. Well welcome back. Little clarity now. Harding turns it over. Chance to run and they've got numbers. Chance to run numbers again. They're going to settle for the three. Have to make it. No goal. What work on the glass from Mateusz Panika. Van der Verst thinks about it. Stops and pops in the lane for two. Such a quick release off the floor. Picks it up and it's away. No debate. Pulled the trigger and here's that pull up. Trademark. Doesn't get the drop and the team in the orange vests come down with it. Great work. Quick release in transition. There's a foul on the plate. Harding's going to be charged with the personal. Panika will get it back. Going to run the ball screen and try and get the down screen away from the ball. Deep catch. Inside out. The open three is good. He was too much time. Close out was too long. Just will sit. Oh straight. Franker starting to feel it. Aren't in a position to really threaten and turn the corner. They're in a hard show to take that away. The skip pass. The open three from the corner is blocked. So it wasn't so open. But great effort. Sapawa comes down with the pickup. But if you do not guard. Really unable to run a lot of the sets to create the primary shot. Out of bounds. Too easy. Great little cut. Reverse. Needs a pass. Gas goes up. A little hang time. Soft touch. Really is getting the job done. Swarovski leans back to two. Doesn't get the drop. That's work on the glass. Will take the ball screen. Deep catch. Wide open. Inside outside. The three is good. Going deep in the rotation. Kuda out top. We'll get it off to van de Verst. 10 on the possession. Stop. Pops the three. When he is in his own space. Harden chases it down. Comes up with the defense. With the offensive rebound. Looks to get a little space. And again initiates the contact. Looking for the foul. No call. Krah. Big step for two. Oh great first step. Franker. Inside outside. They think about the extra pass. Van de Verst just absolutely cooling calmly. Nails the three. Franker goes down. Don't come up with it. As we get a replay. We're gonna have to get after him. That's a great inside outside pass. Wide open. Franker for three. They dodged a bullet but they don't dodge the offensive rebound. Inside outside on the penetration. Great transition by the Netherlands. Too big. Too strong. Van de Verst tries to turn the corner. Gets the lift and moves it on. Franker sparked this team early in the game. Sparks them again late in the court. Always in the game. Just couldn't close out games. Super second move. Harden can't get it to go. That's a follow. Schumer just would not be denied. They settle for the corner. Three. Lids off against the sixth ranked team from Eurobasket only two months ago. Ponica in the lane. Into traffic. Turns it over. Chance two and plenty of chances. Open three to end the half. It's good. Franker walks it off. Playing loosely. Playing with some style and some passion. Harden comes off the screen. Turns the corner. Gets into the lane off the glass. Finally gets one to roll. Be a little sigh of relief after that one. Franker. Kuda trying to go to work. Backs in. Goes up with a jump hook for two. Van de Verst. Handles. Great look. Great pass. Third quarter. Van de Verst. Skip the three. It's good. How many points before Pogan just won't be able to catch them. Ten points personal. Ponica thinks about the three. Fires it up. Strokes it. Team point lead. Face the floor. There are times to stand still and you'll be open if the ball moves. Harding. Bounce pass off the glass for two is good. Kola Hendla. Krag for three. When he extends it's a beautiful looking three-point shot. And Krag's probably better on the three-point line. Ponica looking for contact. Harding in the corner for three is good. Now watch out into the half-court. Stravoski who set the ball screen. He'll just pop out. Harding on the inside with a tough runner is good. Vers. Into the corner. They go inside. Kuda goes up. Is blocked. Unceremoniously blocked. Again the Netherlands just look to contain without pressure. Harding spins. He wheels. He deals for two. Move the ball on. Franca wants the ball screen or at least creating the space for reverse. Perfect. He can't knock down the open three. Super job on the glass. Who's coming up with that? Poland do. And they're going to count it. How to stay with the play. It's the corner. They get out of the corner. Here's Franca. Puts it on the floor. Attacks it. Knocks it away. Ponica on the breakaway for the throw down. Seven-point game. Here they come. Ponica just accumulating numbers. It's an eight-point game. Oh beautiful pass. But Ponica just reads the floor. Just 18 points personal. It's the verse. Inside. Kicks. And they finally get one to drop. Could be asking questions of who's got the best bench here. Oh nice pass for the easy two. The throw down ball and a check. Who believes they should shoot the ball? It's a great pass. Harding looks inside. Deep catch. Goes with a jump hook. Gets the roll. Gonna try and manage this one out. Van der Verst towing the line for two is good. Just wants to score. Just wants to take the shot. Harding's got a lot of early touches. Ball sort of sticks. Now he attacks it. Nice pass. And they're gonna get a whistle. And they blow the opportunity. Nice pass. Straight down the lane for two. Ponica advances the basketball. Guarded by Franca. Nice matchup. Ponica penetrates. Harding steps back for the long three is good. But he's gonna make some free throws. Hard. Van der Verst needs a pass. Drops it inside to Kuda. He's gonna have to go to the free throw line to earn them. Kuczynski to turn it over. Franca for two. Finds himself open. Clue from the corner. Doesn't get it to go. Cut it with a rebound. Can't get it to go. Poland come up with it. Should be a block. What a play. Karl Arbwerks everybody. Comes up with a block. The veteran missed. Netherlands do not want a foul here. Oh too easy. But they blow it. Kuda comes down with it. I think everyone was shocked it got there. There's about a three second differential and Netherlands turn it over. Oh my word. And one. Sokowoski. Sokowoski makes the first. Makes it a three-point game. Which he does. Van der Verst misses it. What a box out. They put it up. Oh hits the front of the ring and it almost made it. Poland having troweled by 21 points.
