The team led by Svetislav Pe\u0161i\u0107 defeated Denmark on Sunday in a packed &#8220;Aleksandar Nikoli\u0107&#8221; hall with a convincing score of 98:51.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, the &#8220;Eagles&#8221; justified the role of the absolute favorite and reached a score of 4-0 in the first four rounds of the EuroBasket qualifiers. With a very serious approach, the world vice-champions and Olympic bronze medalists completely outclassed Denmark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Against Denmark on Sunday, there was no doubt about which team was better. Denmark managed to somewhat keep up with Serbia in the first quarter, thanks mainly to the inspired Gabriel Lundberg, the Partizan guard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it soon became clear that Serbia was a much better opponent, and the difference was growing uncontrollably in favor of Pe\u0161i\u0107&#8217;s team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only bad thing that could be singled out from this match, as far as Serbia is concerned, is a finger injury that forced Du\u0161an Belsa\u0107 to leave the game. The extent of his injury is still unknown. In the second half, all players got a chance to play, including Mega basketball player Bogoljub Markovi\u0107, the youngest member of the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">FOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK:<\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fserbiantimes%2Fposts%2Fpfbid036n5ooMPfc2ojqjFnEWfTS3unqysnVBrhAS1rU1b9fHbupgNdyjWqAjXzBYmZWiRKl&#038;show_text=true&#038;width=500\" width=\"500\" height=\"608\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture; web-share\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>In the end, the most efficient player in the Serbian team was Aleksa Avramovi\u0107 with 18 points (7\/12 from the field) and 8 assists. During the 29 minutes that the CSKA guard spent on the court, Serbia was better than the rival by as much as 39 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bori\u0161a Simani\u0107 was excellent with 12 points (5\/8 from the field), Marko Guduri\u0107 added 11, and Filip Petru\u0161ev 10. Ognjen Dobri\u0107 recorded 9 points (3\/8 from the field), 8 rebounds and 5 assists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the Danes, the top scorer was Gabriel Lundberg with 15 points (6\/14 from the field), along with 6 rebounds and assists for 33 minutes. Dario Juki\u0107 and Tobias Jensen scored 9 points each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Previously, Serbia had defeated Finland and Georgia in February within these qualifications, and on Thursday in Copenhagen, they also defeated Denmark, also very convincingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Serbia will have a new qualifying &#8220;window&#8221; in February, but the &#8220;Eagles&#8221; will not be playing for results then. The match Finland &#8211; Serbia will be played on February 21, and three days later Serbia will host Georgia, a team coached by Serbian coach Aleksandar D\u017eiki\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The European Championship starts on August 27 and lasts until September 14. It will be played in four countries &#8211; the hosts will be Cyprus, Finland, Poland, and Latvia. The draw will be held in March, but the exact date has not yet been specified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Serbia was considered the top favorite of the previous EuroBasket (2022) but was shockingly eliminated in the round of 16 in a duel with Italy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">READ MORE: <\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/nikola-welcomes-a-son-the-jokic-family-grows-larger-and-wife-natalija-gives-birth-to-a-boy\/\"><strong>NIKOLA WELCOMES A SON: The Jokic family grows larger, and wife Natalija gives birth to a boy!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/tennis-world-in-shock-andy-murray-is-novak-djokovics-new-coach-and-first-mission-winning-the-australian-open\/\">TENNIS WORLD IN SHOCK: Andy Murray is Novak Djokovic\u2019s new coach and first mission \u2013 winning the Australian Open!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/vesic-arrested-prosecution-fears-former-minister-could-influence-witnesses-and-accomplices\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">VESI\u0106 ARRESTED: Prosecution fears former minister could influence witnesses and accomplices!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: Serbian Times<br>Photo: Sportal<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Serbian basketball team has secured a place at the European Championship, which will be played in August and September 2025!
