European Champions Secure Another Victory in Euro League Qualifier
Germany Secures Victory Against Slovenia in EuroBasket 2025 Preparation Match
Germany's basketball team continued their impressive form in the EuroBasket 2025 preparations, securing a hard-fought victory against Slovenia in a rematch of their previous encounter. The game, played in Mannheim on August 10, 2025, ended with a score of 80-70 in favour of Germany.
Dennis Schröder, the team's captain, was the top scorer of the game, netting 18 points. His impressive performance included an eight-point streak that sealed Germany's victory. Franz Wagner, who led the team in their previous encounter against Slovenia, scored 17 points in this game.
The game was far from perfect for the German team. They struggled at the start of the second half, with Slovenia leading 57-60 going into the final quarter. However, Germany showed their resilience, rallying back to secure the win.
The German team had a short rotation with only ten players, two days before the game due to some absences. Despite this, they displayed some impressive actions, such as a nice give-and-go between Schröder and Wagner and a powerful dunk from Isaac Bonga.
Germany has been rigorously preparing for EuroBasket 2025, including a pre-tournament camp in Malaga, focusing on both fitness and team cohesion. The coach, Alex Mumbru, emphasized that selection for the final roster would depend on fitness and performance, with a strong emphasis on integrating young talent like Christian Anderson and others from the U-19 team.
In terms of their upcoming group stage schedule, Germany is placed in Group B along with Finland, Lithuania, Sweden, Montenegro, and Great Britain, and will start their EuroBasket campaign on August 27, 2025, against Montenegro in Tampere, Finland.
Slovenia's NBA superstar Luka Doncic did not play in the game due to unspecified reasons. The preparation matches suggest Germany is building a competitive squad for a challenging EuroBasket 2025 tournament.
