Turkey vs Greece Eurobasket 2009

Turkey continues to dominate the tournament and it looked like it was racing towards the top slot in the Group F before being stalked by the meek Slovenians. It thus slipped into the second position and will take on Greece for the quarter finals match.

A relatively new team has worked well to confirm their position and the team has one of the best players of the tournament and that is Ersan Ilyasova. Turkey is eager to prove its mettle for the World championship next year despite the fact of a confirmed berth as a host for the tournament. Omer Asik, Kerem Tunceri and Semih Erden will be the players to watch among Turks.

Greece has been perfect team in the tournament and had become the first team to head to quarterfinals and it was a great match against Germans that took them to where they are now. With Greece there has been a thorough change of playing strategy from methodical and defensive style of playing, they played more attacking offensive basket game with sheer energy and movement all around the court by all its players in the preliminary rounds. Now, Greece might be eyeing the crown and for that it is good that their agility is put to test against the red hot Turkish team. It is collective game playing that is the forte of this team. Vassilis Spanoulis Sofoklis Schortsanitis and Antonis Fotsis will be the Greece players to watch
