Giannis Antetokounmpo looked like a player intent on leading Greece to its first Olympic berth since 2008.

Antetokounmpo had 32 points in 19 minutes, going 11 of 11 from the field, as Greece rolled to a 109-82 win over the Dominican Republic on Wednesday in Group B of the Piraeus, Greece, Olympic qualifying tournament.

Thomas Walkup added 17 points for Greece, which led by as many as 27.

The Greeks clinched their spot in the semifinals on Thursday with a 93-71 win over Egypt, a game that was meaningless and Antetokounmpo sat out.

“Giannis loves to be here. He loves to represent his country,” Greece coach Vassilis Spanoulis said. “He’s very humble. He’s part of the team. For a superstar you don’t find this easy. … He’s about winning.”

The tournament in Greece is one of four that opened Tuesday to settle the final four spots in the field for the Paris Olympics. Other tournaments are ongoing in Latvia, Puerto Rico and Spain.

Group play at all four sites continued through Thursday, with semifinal games Saturday and the title games Sunday.

An appearance in the Olympics is one of the few things Antetokounmpo has yet to accomplish in his career.

On Wednesday, he didn’t seem to be bothered at all by the strained left calf that caused him to sit out the Milwaukee Bucks’ playoff run in April. He got to the rim at will, went 9 of 13 from the free-throw line and knocked down his lone 3-point attempt.

Slovenia hoped to avoid Greece until the finals, but didn’t win by a large enough margin on Thursday to do that after a 104-78 win over New Zealand.

The 26-point margin fell short of they needed to win by to avoid Greece until the finals, meaning Slovenia’ Luka Doncic and Antetokounmpo will meet in the semis on Saturday with the loser missing the Olympics.

Doncic had 36 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists in the Slovenia win over New Zealand.
