Two fast attacks, including a threesome, Lithuania make the duel very tight again. After the three of Deividas Sirvydis, Germany takes the next break.
18.
13:17
40:50
Timeout of the German team! Basketball is and remains a game of runs. Nevertheless, Germany gives the impression that they always have an answer and not yet unpacked all tricks.
18.
13:15
40:50
Of course, not everything can fall. The German team has to be a little careful not to be disturbed by the hustle and bustle in the hall. Fortunately, Andreas Obst’s step error is not punished and it remains at +10 for the DBB.
17.
13:11
38:50
The fact that the throwing rates, especially for three, are so high in both nations despite the pace, speaks for the enormous quality of this duel.
16.
13:09
36:50
Now it will be fruity! Andreas Obst unpacks the next threesome and forces Lithuania’s coach to a timeout. These vitamins have done the DBB very, very well.
16.
13:08
36:47
Bären strongly cooks Andreas Obst with a fine threesome a possible run of the Lithuanians. The opponent had not expected this fruit basket.
16.
13:06
33:44
The referees punish – perfectly right – an unsportsmanlike foul against Dennis Schröder. With this, Lithuania gets two free throws and then the ball again. Of course, Germany hurts.
15.
13:05
33:44
Dennis Schröder already comes to 15 points and also plays a great game that day.
14.
13:04
31:42
The guys from Coach Rima’s attendantaitis screw the triple quota up again, but Germany is super against it. The pace remains high, the defensive aggressively and slowly but surely Wagner is getting stronger again.
13.
13:01
26:38
From a German perspective, this is important: Jonas Valančiūnas gets the third personal foul early on and makes room for the colleague of Laurynas Birutis. Dennis Schröder loosens the two due to free throws.
13.
13:00
26:36
For the moment Lithuania can keep the DBB away from the basket. Germany has to drive somewhat longer attacks and no longer gets the very free throws. On the other hand, Lithuania plays a strong pick and roll.
11.
12:58
21:36
Blind understanding! It cannot be described differently. Franz Wagner serves – standing in the air – Daniel Theis and he bangs the next Alley Oop.
11.
12:57
21:34
Germany can rely on its litters! 75% of the threes falls and 58% of the nearby and half-distance. With Lithuania, on the other hand, it is “only” 57% for three and 36% for two. Meanwhile, Lithuania throws his first two free throws in this game. Valančiūnas sunk one.

Beginning of the 2nd quarter

12:53
Quarter conclusion:
Buzzer Beater von Lô for three points and it stands 32:20 for the world champion! Germany started with 10: 2 brilliantly in this first section. Then the DBB had a little boil and made Lithuania possible too many chances. But from a 15:18, the Germans brought themselves into the lead again through a great defense work and a nice selection of throwing. It is a great game of two top teams.

End 1st quarter

12:50
20:29
Wow! Franz Wagner should have arrived in the match at the latest. It increases to 29:20 and Lithuania takes the timeout by Alley Oop.
9.
12:49
20:27
Wagner vigorously stretches the fist up. At first he leaves his second free throw, but then grabs the defensive rebound and then follows up by Fastbreak. Lithuania gets the receipt for every little mistake and Germany acts more confidently again.
9.
12:47
20:24
The two best teams in Group B do not give themselves anything in the first quarter. It is a very fast, physical and overall technically demanding duel. So it is welcome to go on.
8.
12:45
18:24
It continues in a hell. So far, this is really an outstanding basketball game. Dennis Schröder sensationally draws the contact and completes the Three Point Play from the free-wire line.
8.
12:43
18:21
Challenge of the Lithuanians. Andreas Obst actually pushed for three and even pulled the foul. Now it is about whether the foul was not before the offensive action. This looks like a wafer -like decision even on the first repetitions.
7.
12:41
18:18
4/5 (80%) the Lithuanians from outside. Of course, this is a hammer quota. Meanwhile, DBB captain Schröder compensates for 18:18 with his next three. Overall, the German offensive quota has subsided a little, which is why the leadership is gone.
7.
12:39
18:15
In the meantime, the German selection overthrown a little and lets the flow of the first early minutes miss a little. Lithuania has improved defensively and remains cold -nosed at the front. Margiris Normantas and a little later Tada’s Sedekerskis meet for three.
5.
12:38
9:13
Both nations try to do it quite often from Downtown. Daniel Theis is also successful in this scene. In the next attack, Jonas Valančiūnas already draws his second personal foul and has to be careful.
4.
12:36
9:10
Too bad! Johannes Voigtmann misses under the basket and immediately starts Lithuania. In the end, Tada’s Sedekerskis confidently grabs from outside and suddenly only -1 from Lithuania.
3.
12:35
4:10
The DBB team continues exactly where it stopped against Sweden. Germany defends committed and closes the rooms. Nevertheless, it also becomes clear that Lithuania does not torch for long and, for example, is directly on the spot in the event of bad passports of the world champions.
2.
12:34
2: 8
Strong! Germany starts the game with two threes and after the first success of the Lithuanians, the German captain adds directly. With a layer he places 8: 2.

And with it into what is happening. According to this endurance test, it may already be foreseeable how far the German journey goes at this tournament.

Start of the game
12:20
In about ten minutes it gets down on the floor. We look forward to a high -class duel. Have fun!
12:12
In fact, a victory would be extremely important for Germany, since this game is probably decided on the group victory. If the Germans become the first, you may be able to avoid medal candidates such as Serbia, Türkiye and Latvia in the round of 16.
12:04
“Of course you have the good combination of a point guard and a big player,” said Germany’s interim coach Alan Ibrahimagic, who is also represented on the sick àlex Mumbrú on this match day, and added: “But I believe that your greatest strength is that you are a team and one unit.”
11:54
Great break? None! The DBB team had only around 22 hours after the safe 105: 83 success against Sweden to adapt to the greatest challenge of the preliminary round in Finnish tampers. “Lithuania is a very physical team, very large,” explained Daniel Theis, who classified today’s game as “definitely complicated”. “Very large” should be meant in particular Lithuania’s NBA-Center Jonas Valančiūnas from Denver Nuggets, who cleans up at 2.11 meters under the basket.
11:45
Lithuania did not show any nakedness in the first two group games. The team led by NBA professional Jonas Valančiūnas only easily defeated Montenegro with 94:67 (47:28) yesterday and thus celebrated the second win in the second game. The best thrower of the encounter was Lithuania Roka’s jokubaitis with 21 points. At the start of the European Championship, the physically extremely robust Lithuanians celebrated a clear 94: 70 victory against Great Britain. Let’s see how strong the selection of head coach Rima’s tourinaitis is on that day …
11:37
