The Serbian collective makes short work of Poland

Placed in a generally weak Group D, Serbia had quietly chained victories so far, and this match against Poland, who could always steal first place from them, looked like the first real test.

A test that did not take place since Nikola Jokic and his teammates made short work of the Poles.

The double MVP of the NBA was also not obliged to force his talent, compiling all the same 19 points and 5 rebounds in 18 minutes of play, but it is generally the whole group of Svetislav Pesic who impressed.

Suffocating defensive pressure, interior power both in the major five and off the bench (48 points scored in the racket), licked collective game (27 assists out of 36 baskets), big 3-point skill (11/19)… It was total domination that we witnessed, with six Serbian players at more than 10 points: Nikola Jokic, Nikola Milutinov, Marko Guduric, Vasilije Micic, Nikola Kalinic or even Dejan Davidovac.

With this success of 27 points (96-69), Serbia therefore finished first in their group with five wins in five games. It will meet Italy in the round of 16, before the winner will challenge the winner of the match between France and Turkey on Saturday.
