Israel - Slovenia

The Turks in the group showed their ability and efficiency, and now in the playoffs they will continue to demonstrate that. Their opponents, the Swedes, prefer a fast and efficient style of basketball, and although their offensive results may sometimes fluctuate in the playoffs, the Swedes have nothing to lose and have already achieved an over performance, contrary to predictions before the championship. The Swedes, who have many strong basketball players, consistently perform well on offense, and I believe the Turkish offensive potential will be used against the weak defense of Sweden.

The Turks should have an easy prey here, with a strong and solid lineup around them I think they will score high against the Swedes here. The Turks have a perfect 5/5 record so far with an average of 91.8 points, scoring 92+ in 4 out of 5 games, only struggling against the Estonians. The Turks are also full of confidence after their strong performance against the favorites Serbia in their last game, with a great offensive rhythm. The Swedes, on the other hand, have struggled against tougher teams, conceding 105 to the Germans, 93 to the Finns, and 74 to Lithuania, although Lithuania played without Jokubaitis. I think the Turks should aim for a score above 95.

Melwinas has plenty of time to showcase himself, two poor meetings were relatively before these games and I think it's time to demonstrate his potential against the Turks, he is certainly a good player, capable of creating his own opportunities and has a decent shooting game overall. Of course, there is a problem that he has to split his time between his Swedish defenders, but I don't think a three-game drought can happen for such players, and we have seen the potential of this player before. So all in all, my opinion is not to have such intense defense against smaller players where he will have opportunities to score, it is important to make the first shots count so he can feel more confident.
