Basketball players of various European nations indicate substantial complacency ahead of their match against the Czech Republic.
The depleted German women's basketball team commenced their preparations for the upcoming EuroBasket on a dismal note, suffering a heavy 86-70 loss to the Czech Republic in Bamberg. This marked their first warm-up game in a series of four ahead of the EuroBasket tournament, slated from June 18 to 29. The preliminary round will be held in Hamburg, followed by the final round in Piraeus.
The German squad, comprising three WNBA players – Leonie Fiebich, Luisa Geiselsoeder, and Nyara Sabally – will join the team just before the tournament's commencement, as the WNBA season is currently in progress. Frieda Buhner exhibited a stellar performance, scoring 19 points and securing seven rebounds.
However, the Germans struggled with their three-point shots (17% accuracy), and the Czech team bested them in every quarter. The Czech squad boasted four players scoring in double digits. The team's next test is set for next Friday in Heidelberg, against Turkey.
