On September 7, the men's basketball European Cup 1/8 finals were in a very stalemate on the first match day. Each team has strong competitiveness. Serbia won the championship and was even out of the game by Finland. This time, the French men's basketball team was out again out of the game, losing to Georgia 70-80, and unfortunately ended in the quarterfinals.

I thought there would be many one-sided situations in the 1/8 finals, but I didn't expect that the game was very stalemate. Each team was very competitive, and Turkey and Germany almost lost the chain. Unexpectedly, Serbia and France were eliminated directly. Although the French men's basketball team lacks Vinban Yama and Gobert, their overall lineup is still good. There are many players who play for NBA players, including last year's No. 1 pick Rissache. Unfortunately, the team failed to go further and missed the quarterfinals of the European Cup for the second time in the past 25 years.

The French men's basketball team did not take the initiative this time, and Georgia was able to take the initiative for a while and took a 1-point lead in the first half. In the second half, the French men's basketball team was still in poor form, while Georgia continued to take the initiative on the field, and firmly took the initiative in the final quarter, even widening the gap, and at the same time withstood France's counterattack, and finally defeated the opponent 80-70. In this way, Georgia made history and reached the quarterfinals of the European Cup for the first time in team history.

Georgia performed very well this time, beating the last champion Spain in the group stage, and finally defeated Spain to advance to the top 16. Georgia, who advanced in the fourth place in the group, faced France, which was the first in Group D. Unexpectedly, they continued to bring surprises and directly eliminated their opponents, becoming the big dark horses of this European Cup, and successively eliminated the last champion and runner-up. In the next quarter-finals, they will face Finland, which eliminated Serbia.

, and as the NBA No. 1 pick, Rissache performed very badly this time. He played for 16 minutes, made 2 of 8 shots, 1 of 6 three-pointers, and scored only 7 points and 6 rebounds. He did not give the team more help in this game. It seems that he still has a long way to go in the future. He paid tuition fees in this European Cup, averaging 9.7 points and 4.2 rebounds per game, and shooting percentage of 47.8%. In addition, Yabuselle, who joined the Knicks, was in a bad state, making 4 of 10 shots, scoring 12 points and 3 rebounds.
