In the previous quarter-finals of the Men's Basketball European Championship, Turkey defeated Poland 91-77 and advanced to the semi-finals with a record of complete victory. They will compete with the winners of the Lithuanian and Greek teams for a final spot; while Poland was eliminated after this game.

In this game, the Turkish starting wing star Cedi Osman performed well. Ottoman played 24 minutes and 20 seconds in the game, made 4 of 9 shots, 2 of 6 shots from outside the three-point line, scored 10 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, and had 2 turnovers and 2 fouls. The plus and negative value reached the highest +18 in the game. Ottoman's outside shooting feels sloppy on the offensive end, but he still scored a lot of points through various methods. Ottoman also has certain passing ability, and he also has high enthusiasm and vitality on the defensive end. Overall, Ottoman's performance on both offense and defense is relatively reliable, and the team's situation is even better when he is on the court. Ottoman's data is not very eye-catching, but his importance to the team is still quite outstanding. He has also made considerable contributions to the team's key victory in this game. Since the start of the European Championship, Ottoman has averaged 26.8 minutes in the first seven games, with averaging 14.9 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 0.3 steals, 1.6 turnovers and 2.9 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 52.4%, a three-point shooting percentage of 51.2%, a free throw shooting percentage of 65.4%, and a plus-negative value of +14 per game. Ottoman's overall performance in these games is relatively stable. He can provide reliable support to the team on the offensive end in many games. He is an online pitcher, and his offensive efficiency has always been maintained at a high level. It is quite rare to be able to play such data when the ball and tactical status are not so high.

Ottoman was born in April 1995. He is 30 years old, 201cm tall and weighs 104kg. He is the wing player selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 31st pick in the second round in the 2015 NBA Draft. Ottoman is a very good player in the NBA. His performance with the Cavaliers and later in the San Antonio Spurs is worthy of recognition. After returning to the European arena last season and joining the Greek league giant Panasinacos, his performance is still relatively reliable. In the European Championships, Ottoman still maintained a high level and was still a key figure in the Turkish team. However, in the next game, the Türkiye team will face stronger opponents. In this case, Ottoman also needs to have better performance to help the team go further. Can he do this?
