Slovenia, one of the surprises of the EC. Turkey started well in front of a hot
crowd and dominated the game offensively. Slovenia used a 2-3 zone and relied on
outside shots to stay n the game. 5 triples by Klobucar and Preldzic narrowed
the gap to 7 points at the end of the first quarter. The visitors started to go
to the rim and cut the lead to three as Turkey took advantage of a deep bench to
open up a 7 point deficit at the half. In the second half Turkey toughened up
and used a 17-5 serie to make it 60-41. Even though Oguz Savas and Cenk
Akyol (200-G-87) left for the bench due to foul trouble, Hakan Demirel
rallied his team in the 3rd quarter. Slovenia, failed to match the intensity
shown by Turkey and Nihat Izic's side dominated the entire quarter. Turkey will

lead but Tepic&Pekovic duo rallied Serbia. Italy switched to one and box to
contain Tepic but it didnt work and Serbia led the first quarter 23-15. In the

In the first day of classification round Greece and France came face to
face at Ataturk Sports Hall. Greece's skillful point guard Igor Milosevic
picked up an injury early in the first quarter and then came the Greek
turnovers. Greece turned 17 balls over in the first half and despite Antonios
Mantzaris' effort, Benoit Gillet's shooting skills and streak points by Aldo
Curti helped France lead the first half by 7. In the third quarter Greece
switched to zone and cut the lead to 4 then France called a time out. Cisse and
Curti were back to the game and Florimont's effort at the both ends of the floor
never let Greece come closer and France opened the gap up to 17 points with
Gillet's buzzer beater. In the rest of the game Greece had no solution for the
turnovers without Igor Milosevic but with Verginis at the point guard position
as French star Cisse put on a good show and led his team to 76-50 victory.
Greece outrebounded France (41-29) but turned 30 balls over and had problems to
defend the perimeter so French side posted a win easier than expected.

Turkey Through The Semis Despite The Loss - July 21, 2006
Turkish U20
NT already secured the first spot in Group F faced Greece left with no semi
final chances in the last day of quarter final round. Turkey coach Nihat Izic
decided to use his bench players and sideline the starters but without Hakan
Demirel Turkey struggled and the score was tied at 14 at the end of first
quarter. In the second period Turkey turned the balls over due to point guard
problem and Greece opened the quarter with
Dusan
Sakota (209-F-86)'s 8 points in a row. The visitors continued playing true
transition basketball under the leadership of
Igor
Milosevic (192-G-86) and opened the gap up to 13 at the half. Turkey got off
to a good start in the second half and Greece switched to zone and let the three
point shoot out begin. 7 of 8 field goals made during those minutes were all
triples ( 5 of them were by the hosts) and a 17-6 Turkey run cut the lead to 4
before the last quarter. Greece switched back to man to man defence but this
time Turkey used zone when Sakota was on fire and trailed by 10.
Ersan
Ilyasova (208-F-87)'s extraordinary effort in the last quarter never let
Greece go away even though
Igor
Milosevic (192-G-86) was at his best. Ilyasova who stayed on the floor for
the entire second half went to the line when the score was 78-80. He missed both
free throws and Turkey also wasted a chance in the last second so Greece posted
it's first win in the quarter final round. On the other hand tomorrow Turkey
will face Slovenia for the final ticket.

go home situation Italy stunned Croatia and secured a place in the semis.

39 at the half. The second half was no different than the first as Italy relied
on outside shots and Croatia produced more baskets in the paint but Italian star
Luigi Da Tome finally stepped in to the game and helped Antonutti and Lechtaler.
On the other hand Croatia lost the control and the blues unexpectedly grabbed
the semi final ticket with a 14-0 run and Vitali's free throws.

Turkey and Croatia will come face
to face in Izmir today and it's expected to be the best clash of the U20 EC.
Both sides have played solid D so far and never lost concentration on the
defensive end. Croatia is very effective on the perimeter thanks to big guy
Jure
Lalic (212-C-86) -very impressive center- who always finds the open man when
the doubleand triple team comes. Croatian guard
Hrvoje
Kovacevic (192-G-86, agency:
XL
Croatian BC) who was tested by Efes Pilsen last year is also another
offensive threat with his fundemental and pyshical advantage.
Rok
Stipcevic (189-G-86) sometimes reminds
Marko
Popovic (185-G-82, agency:
XL
Croatian BC) but it looks like he might have a brighter future. Croatian
team is nevery in a hurry on offense as they keep delivering the ball till they
find the open guy. On the other hand Turkey plays the games in a packed arena
and the crowd is very supportive.
Oguz
Savas (208-C-87) ' dominance in the paint,
Cenk
Akyol (200-G-87) 's shooting skills and
Ersan
Ilyasova (208-F-87)'s effort on the both sides of the floor rally the hosts.
All the guys are fighting when it comes to play defence so today's game will be
nothing but fun.

showed that they are very inconvenient team. In the first half we had 16-1 for
three points but on the half time I succeeded to “wake up” the players. Dragovic

Turkey crushed Germany - Jul 14, 2006
In the last game of opening day in
U20 EC which is held in Izmir, Turkey faced Germany and grabbed a very well
deserved win by 38. The hosts started the game with Hakan Demirel, Can Altintig,
Cenk
Akyol (200-G-87), Semih Erden and
Oguz
Savas (208-C-87). The explosive forward
Ersan
Ilyasova (208-F-87) started the game on the bench. Turkey got off to a good
start as
Oguz Savas (208-C-87)' moves in the paint and
Cenk
Akyol (200-G-87)'s shooting skills opened up a double digit lead in the
first quarter. Despite Hakan Demirel's foul trouble Turkey did not stop and
comfortably dominated rest of the game at the both ends of the floor thanks to
Ersan
Ilyasova (208-F-87) who came off the bench and nailed a game high 22 points.
On the other hand Germany was simply not good as they turned many balls over and
struggled offensively and failed to prevent the fast breaks. Turkey did
everything well except the free throws. They managed to stay in the game
defensively from the beginning to the end and held the visitors at 45. Efes
Pilsen's sharp shooter
Cenk
Akyol (200-G-87), big man
Oguz
Savas (208-C-87) and
Ersan
Ilyasova (208-F-87) of Milwaukee Bucks totally added 54 points. On the other
hand Germany was far away from being impressive except center
Jan-Christian Both (210-C-86, agency:
Scorers 1st Sportmanagement) who scored a team high 12 points all in the
paint. Turkey now takes the first place in Group C and will face a tough France
tomorrow to clinch the first spot.
