Competitors in the upcoming Basketball Super Cup Championship
Germany Dominates Czech Republic in EuroBasket Preparation
Germany continues its impressive form in the lead-up to EuroBasket 2022, securing a convincing victory against Czech Republic with a score of 113:84. The game, played recently, saw the German team take the lead at 44:43 in the third quarter and maintain it until the final whistle.
The key players for Germany in these preparatory games and the upcoming Supercup are Franz Wagner and Dennis Schröder. These two athletes, who led the team to a bronze medal at EuroBasket 2022, have been consistent performers. Wagner, in particular, has shown strong scoring and overall impact, making him a focal point in recent competitions.
Wagner started a bit slowly in the game against Czech Republic, but he soon found his rhythm, scoring 17 points. Schröder, on the other hand, contributed 22 points, 4 rebounds, and 6 assists, playing a crucial role in the team's comeback win.
Unfortunately, Johannes Voigtmann, Maodo Lo, and David Kramer were missing from the German team due to illness and injuries, and no new information about their conditions was provided. The team's absence was noticeable, as Germany scored only 28 points in the first half, lacking rhythm and necessary dynamics.
However, the team improved significantly after halftime, with Wagner and Schröder taking control on offense, and the defense also picking up. Niels Giffey, who was part of the gold-winning team in Manila two years ago, was honoured before the game, but he is no longer playing for the national team.
The Supercup match against Serbia, another strong contender, will be played after the game against Czech Republic. The German national team will face title defender Spain in two test games before traveling to Finland for the EuroBasket.
In Group B of the EuroBasket, Germany will face Montenegro, Sweden, Lithuania, Finland, and Great Britain. The final of the EuroBasket will take place in Riga, the capital of Latvia.
Despite the impressive victory, there are concerns within the team. Justus Hollatz expressed worry about the team's inability to get into the desired pace of play and the number of offensive rebounds conceded. Daniel Theis, a veteran player, struggled in his comeback game, looking unagile and fit, and had trouble defensively against Alperen Sengun.
The German national team, under the guidance of head coach Gordon Herbert, will look to address these issues and continue its winning streak as they prepare for the Supercup and the EuroBasket.
The basketball team, currently in peak form ahead of EuroBasket 2022, has also showcased their prowess in the NBA, with key players like Franz Wagner and Dennis Schröder demonstrating consistent performances.
Despite their absence due to illness and injuries, stars like Johannes Voigtmann, Maodo Lo, and David Kramer will be missed, as the team strives to maintain their momentum towards the Supercup and EuroBasket, where they will face strong contenders such as the NBA's Serbia.
