The Portuguese goes a lot about Big Man Neemias Queta. With six points, three rebounds and two steals, the numbers can be read quite well. However, the center is already properly pumping.

It is definitely not a delicacy that the teams offer us in the first eight minutes. The worm on both sides is still offensive and the error rate is also very high.

The initially good throwing rates of the Iberer gradually go back. From the outside, only 1/7 throws fall. It is 2/6 from the two-point area. With 1/5 of Downtown and 4/6 from the two area, it looks only slightly better.

Schröder, previously blocked by Queta rustically on the third floor, makes it better this time and completes the basket. Just like Franz Wagner after a successful defense with the lay-up overhead. That looks much better with the Germans.

With the DBB boys, a certain rhythm slowly but surely comes into play, even if there are still too many mistakes here and there. So Schröder loses the ball, which is not punished.

Isaac Bonga is found by Schröder Halblinks and this does not torch for long. The throw is perfect and goes through the reuse. Compensation!

Portugal starts the game well and scores attack on attack. With the Germans there is still some sand in the gear. But there is still enough time on the clock to come into play here.

Before the ball will be on the road, there is still a minute’s silence for the victims of the cable car accident in Lisbon in the middle of this week.

Starting Fives
The national anthems are silent and it can start with this round of 16. As recently, the national coach sends his fixed starting line -up: Dennis Schröder, Franz Wagner, Andreas Obst, Isaac Bonga and Daniel Theis. On the other hand, on the Portuguese side Diogo Brito, Travante Williams, Miguel Queiroz, Rafael Lisboa and Neemias Queta

The opponent: Portugal
The Southeast Europeans dive a little under the radar in the basketball world. The Portuguese are a founding member of the World Association Fiba (foundation in 1932), but the Iberers didn’t really have sporting success. For the European Championship, they only qualified four times, not yet for a World Cup. At this year’s European Championship, two victories were enough to progress. From the outset it was clear that the Czech Republic and Estonia had to be defeated to get on. This was achieved. The Iberers also liked Serbia, even if there was a 69:80 defeat in the end. The team of coach Mario Gomes has had a stable defensive so far. On the other hand, aggressively it bumped it. While the majority of the actors play in the second Spanish or first Portuguese league, one stands out with Neemias Queta. The 26-year-old is under contract with the Boston Celtics in the NBA and was able to ensure 15.0 points and 7.4 rebounds at this tournament in 23.5 minutes.

Germany again with the national coach?
It replies: Yes! After coach Álex Mumbrú could not coach a single preliminary round game himself due to a hospital stay, the Spaniard is back on the side of the side. After the five more or less convincing appearances of his team in the group phase, with some clearly defined victories, it is now time to focus on this do-or-the game. The world champion had won his five games so far with a lead of 32.8 points. This is not a guarantee that the game will be a sure -fire success today. Against Finland, the worm was already in there, even if there was a clear victory in the end. Because the team lacks something without Johannes Voigtmann. The center will fail the rest of the tournament with cartilage damage in the knee. Interim coach Alan Ibrahimagic emphasized after the Finland game: “Everyone from the team makes their contribution, we still need that if we start the KO phase now.”
13:46
From now on, only victories count
Travel time was said for the German team during the week. After the final group game against Finland on Wednesday, the Tross got on the plane to play the almost one -hour trip from the Finnish Tampere to Riga. In Latvia, the co-round of this year’s Eurobasket will be held. Today’s German opponent is familiar with here. Because the Portuguese already played their five preliminary round games in the Xiaomi Arēna. Thus, the Iberers had no travel traps and were able to prepare for the DBB in peace. Nevertheless, Portugal will go into play as an outsider. The world ranking 56. will have to stretch against the world champion that is still unbeaten at this tournament in order to keep up.

The European Basketball Championship goes into its hot phase. For the round of 16, the previously unbeaten German team meets outsiders Portugal. Start of the game in the Latvian Riga is at 2:15 p.m. Does the world champion also dominate in the sixth game of the tournament?
