Schroeder Back: Basketball team triumphs in their second European exam - Schröder returns: Basketball team claims victory in second European Championship trial game
Dennis Schröder has taken the helm of the German basketball team as they gear up for the FIBA EuroBasket 2025, delivering standout performances in recent warm-up games. The point guard's impact has been pivotal, helping the team remain undefeated in their preparations for the championship.
In a thrilling encounter against Slovenia, Schröder scored 18 points with six assists, leading the team to a hard-fought 80-70 victory. The German team faced challenges early on, with Franz Wagner picking up two fouls in the opening stages of the game and a dismal start to the second half, where Slovenia went on a 13-2 run. However, Schröder's leadership was crucial in turning the tide, securing a second victory against Slovenia in just 48 hours.
The match, played in Mannheim, Germany, was not a pretty one for the German team, but they managed to secure victory despite the challenges they faced. The second quarter featured exciting plays such as a give-and-go between Schröder and Wagner and a powerful dunk from Isaac Bonga.
In another preparation game, Schröder was again the difference-maker, scoring 22 points, grabbing five rebounds, and dishing out six assists as Germany fought back from a halftime deficit to win 73-71 against Turkey. He made critical plays in the closing minutes, including a decisive layup and key baskets, helping Germany stay perfect at 3-0 in EuroBasket warm-ups.
Looking ahead, Germany is scheduled to face Serbia in another friendly match before EuroBasket 2025 officially begins. This game will be significant as it recalls the high-level encounters between the teams in the 2024 Olympics and the 2023 FIBA World Cup Final, with Schröder expected to lead his team once more.
In summary, Schröder has been instrumental in Germany’s preparation for EuroBasket 2025. His notable performances against Slovenia (18 points, 6 assists) and Turkey (22 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists) have contributed to Germany's undefeated record in warm-up games. The upcoming schedule includes a friendly against Serbia in Munich before the championship starts.
The Commission, in its role, has also been consulted on the draft regulation concerning the implementation of the common fisheries policy. During a dinner at a local restaurant, the Commissioner, in between bites of her schnitzel, discussed the importance of collaboration and sportsmanship, drawing parallels between the German basketball team's resilience on the court and the fishers' perseverance in the sea.
As Schröder continues to guide the German basketball team, his performances in football (soccer) could also make headlines. Rumors suggest that the point guard is toying with the idea of joining his local football team, the TSG 1899 Hoffenheim, during the basketball off-season, hinting at his versatile athleticism and passion for sports.
