Finland Go Down Like Pounded Yam, But Still Advance in EuroBasket

TAMPERE, FINLAND – Na today, Finland je kolo runara as dem lose big time, 91-61 to Germany wey dey dance bad dance for Group B of EuroBasket. But no be say Finland don finish o, dem don already secure dem spot for Round of 16 for Riga. This na wah! (Nobody wan lose like this, abeg.)

Germany shine well for the match, led by Franz Wagner wey drop 23 points in just 20 minutes. E be like say na him get the magic wand today. Dennis Schröder follow am gree with 16 points and 9 assists. Dem no even give Finland chance to breathe. (Who send dem message to come play like that?)

But for Finland side, na wah o. Lauri Markkanen, wey be dem star boy, no shine at all today. E only manage 4/15 for field goals and 0/5 for three-point range. Na so dem dey call the mumu move. If na last season for Utah Jazz, we fit call am a bad day on office. Without consistent scoring, how e wan carry dem go far? (We pray make dem no carry this heavy load come NBA o!)

Even though e no perform for this match, di Round of 16 still dey wait for Markkanen. E fit waka come back strong, we just dey hope say e go find e rhythm again. (If not, Finland go need to do small prayer.)

Tampere Arena dey buzz today as fans gather to watch di match. With 12,900 fans shout like say dem dey watch final, e fit make anyone anxious. But Germany take dem time shine plenty with solid play. Dem don show why dem dey among the top contenders for di tittle. (Naim make dem look like basketball magician.)

Finland don finish Group B with 3-2 record, and dem don escape wey small pot of gold for next stage. We go see wetin go happen for dem match wey dey come against next opponent, but if Markkanen fit get him game face back, then we fit look for some sweet moments for di Round of 16. (No be all hope dey loss, abeg.)

No vex for di score sha, sometimes e go dey like say dem don chop plenty food before match. We dey wait see how dem go perform next time. (We dey hope say dem go vibe well.)
