On August 30, the European Cup of Men's Basketball Team continued. In a group stage, Turkey defeated the Czech team 92-78 and achieved two consecutive wins in the group stage.

In this game, Turkish Rockets center Shin Kyung performed extremely well, with efficient and comprehensive offense and defense. He made 8 of 9 shots in 28 minutes, made 7 of 10 free throws, scored a tie-in triple-double with a maximum of 23 points plus 12 rebounds and 9 assists, and had 1 steal and 2 blocks, with a plus-minus value +14, leading Türkiye to reverse and win.

However, it is very regrettable that Shin Kyung is only one assist away to get a triple-double. In response, Shin Kyung said: "This is no big deal for me. We still have a lot of games left to play, and I will have a chance to achieve a triple-double. If they continue to double-team me, I will always find the right pass option."

At the same time, Turkey's head coach Ataman was interviewed by a reporter and talked about the decision to get Shin Kyung to the end. He said: "I asked him to leave the court early because there was another game tomorrow night. If someone reminded him at that time (Shin Kyung was short of a triple-double assist), I could have asked a timeout to arrange tactics for him, but no one notified me. The European Cup journey is long and we will reach the finals all the way. I believe that before that, Shin Kyung will definitely win a triple-double again."
