The European Championship averaged 32+7 killers! The Warriors missed Curry s successor, and it was not worth giving up for Boger

7:54am, 1 September 2025Basketball

On August 31, the European Championship was in full swing. In this event that focused on team basketball, we can still see some players performing lone heroes, such as Doncic. Although he tried his best in two games and scored 73 points in two games, the team still couldn't win the ball. It's not that he didn't want to play team basketball, but that his teammates had too limited abilities. If he hadn't dragged the team forward with his own strength, Slovenia would have lost even worse.

In this year's European Championship, in addition to Doncic, there are two other stars who are single-core, such as Markanin and Antetokounmpo, but their situation is more lucky than Doncic. Although they are single-core, at least the performance of their teammates is good enough, so it is not bad. Greece has won two consecutive victories, and the team even took turns to rest against a weak team like Cyprus. Finland is even more powerful, and they have achieved three consecutive victories since the start of the game.

Now Finland has won the top 16 spots in the knockout stage. In addition to them, there are also strong teams such as Serbia, Germany and Türkiye who have won the top 16 spots. Compared with the other three teams, Finland is more like a dark horse, because no one is optimistic about them before the start of the European Championship. As a result, the team's net score reached 53 points in three games. Looking at the 24 teams, they can rank third, which is higher than Jokic's Serbia's net score.

Finland can perform such an excellent performance, and Markkanin's unsolvable ability is the reason for their success. Although Markkanin may not be as outstanding as Antetokounmpo, Doncic and Jokic in the NBA, Markkanin is not at all guilty in the International League. In terms of shooting, he may even be more stable. He is a 2.13-meter-long big man with a top scorer feel, and his athletic ability is very outstanding. He is simply a version of the King of Nothing with enhanced athletic ability.

Relying on the talent of top misalignment, Markanen also played an unsolvable performance on the offensive end. In the first game against the Swedish men's basketball team, he scored 28 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists, 43 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assists against the Finnish men's basketball team, and 26 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists against the Montenegro men's basketball team. In three games, Markanen averaged 32.3 points, 7 rebounds, 2.3 assists per game, with a three-point shooting percentage of 43.4%, and averaging 3.3 three-pointers. This efficiency is too terrifying.

This is not Marca's most violent performance. During the warm-up match, he averaged 40.3 points per game and had a three-point shooting percentage of 53.8%, which was simply unsolvable. Because of his outstanding performance, many fans and media even joked that Markanen was playing in the Jazz. After all, the Jazz sacrificed their ball rights last season to play in order to prevent him from winning on the court, and the team also used various excuses to let him quit, which made Markanen play very aggrieved.

Markanen averaged only 19 points, 6 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game last season, with a three-point shooting percentage of 34.6%. I don’t believe that he did not play on the court and act on purpose. You should know that his three-point shooting percentage has been above 39% in the past two seasons. This is not the true level of Markkanen. In his first season with the Jazz, he achieved absolute ball rights and also performed well. He averaged 25.6 points, 8.6 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 50% and a three-point shooting percentage of 39.1%.

Therefore, he also got the name of a little driver. Originally, the template was Notian King. Such outstanding offensive firepower also made him more recognized. Because of his outstanding performance, many teams were interested in him, especially the Warriors. The Warriors had always wanted to find this center with three-point shooting and inside damage, and wanted to promote the team. So they discussed the Marca deal in the offseason of the 23-24 season. At that time, the Jazz was rebuilding and did not want to keep Marca, after all, they wanted to sign up for the draft.

The Warriors gave the most sincere offer at the beginning was Moody's, Kumingga + several first-round picks, which looked good, but the Jazz wanted the Warriors to add Bojem, but the Warriors were dissatisfied when they heard this, saying that Bojem was his non-sale product and did not want to trade him. After that, the Warriors and the Jazz had less transactions, and the transaction eventually failed. Originally, the Warriors were only one step away from getting Markkanin, but they missed it for a blue-collar puzzle.

Marca is now 28 years old. If he is won, the team can build a team around Marca in the future. The team can still play Kerr's pass and cut system, and Marca can also help the Warriors chase their record. It's too late to say anything now. The team has got Butler, and their salary space has been locked, so it is not realistic to trade Marca. Everyone has seen Pojem now. There are not many balls. It seems that the upper limit is just like this. It can't become a star. It's not worth it for the Warriors to give up the opportunity to get Marca for him.

It is estimated that after the start of next season, the Jazz will try to trade and send away the Markka. After all, they still have to train young players. Having said that, what do you want to say about Markkain now? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
