France beat defending champion Lithuania 63-47 to reach the European Championship semifinals behind 18 points and 11 rebounds from Boris Diaw on Thursday.
Tony Parker, the point guard for the NBA champion San Antonio Spurs, guided France to a showdown with Greece in Saturday's semifinals.
"I did everything with the Spurs, two rings," Parker said. "Now I want to do something with the national team."
Greece beat Russia 66-61 thanks to 23 points from Theodoros Papaloukas.
In the quarterfinals, Slovenia plays Germany, and Croatia meets Spain.
France knocked out world champion Serbia-Montenegro in the previous round.
"With every new match we've picked up our game," Diaw said. "This was our fourth and this was our best. It's better not to be the favorite but to be the challenger."
Parker added 11 points and five assists, while Antoine Rigaudeau also had 11 points.
France finished the first half up 32-16 and Lithuania, usually a high-scoring team, had missed all nine 3-point attempts.
Twins Ksistof and Darjus Lavrinovic provided some scoring punch for Lithuania after the break with Ksistof hitting the team's first 3-pointer and Darjus scoring eight straight points at the end of the third quarter as Lithuania pulled within eight.
But Diaw scored on a jumper, Parker claimed the next five points and France ran away. Rigaudeau and Parker made four free throws each for the final score. Center Frederic Weis added 11 rebounds and five points for France.
Papaloukas, a point guard for CSKA Moscow, scored the last 10 points for Greece, which rallied from an early 11-point deficit to reach the last four for the first time since 1997.
Greece coach Panagiotis Yannakis praised his team for "exceptional play against a tough opponent."
Papaloukas shot 6-for-7 from 2-point range, and went 2-for-3 from beyond the arc.
Russia's NBA star Andrei Kirilenko finished with 20 points, 16 rebounds, three blocked shots, two assists, two steals and five turnovers.
Revelations of positive doping tests for nearly two dozen Chinese swimmers that went unpunished sparked an intense flurry of accusations and legal threats between the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and the head of the US drug-fighting organization, who has long been one of WADA’s fiercest critics. WADA on Saturday said it was turning to legal counsel to address a statement released by US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) CEO Travis Tygart, who said WADA and anti-doping authorities in China swept positive tests “under the carpet by failing to fairly and evenly follow the global rules that apply to everyone else in the world.” The
Taiwanese judoka Yang Yung-wei on Saturday won silver in the men’s under-60kg category at the Asian Judo Championships in Hong Kong. Nicknamed the “judo heartthrob” in Taiwan, the Olympic silver-medalist missed out on his first Asian Championships gold when he lost to Japanese judoka Taiki Nakamura in the finals. Yang defeated three opponents on Saturday to reach the final after receiving a bye through the round of 32. He first topped Laotian Soukphaxay Sithisane in the round of 16 with two seoi nage (over-the-shoulder throws), then ousted Indian Vijay Kumar Yadav in the quarter-finals with his signature ude hishigi sankaku gatame (triangular armlock). He

Taiwanese gymnast Lee Chih-kai failed to secure an Olympic berth in the pommel horse following a second-place finish at the last qualifier in Doha on Friday, a performance that Lee and his coach called “unconvincing.” The Tokyo Olympics silver medalist finished runner-up in the final after scoring 6.6 for degree of difficulty and 8.800 for execution for a combined score of 15.400. That was just 0.100 short of Jordan’s Ahmad Abu Al Soud, who had qualified for the event in Paris before the Apparatus World Cup series in Qatar’s capital.
