In the European Championship final, Germany’s basketball players are fighting for the title. But a heavy opponent is waiting with Turkey.
Germany meets Turkey in the European Championship final. The German team, led by Dennis Schröder, is faced with the chance to become European champions for the first time since 1993. Turkey has so far been unbeaten and is also a hot candidate for the title. Who keeps the nerves?
Germany 71:76 Türkiye
4th quarter, still 04:47 – Dennis Schröder is now moving to the basket, but the throwing attempt remains. He urgently has to increase.
4th quarter, still 05:19 – Dennis Schröder tries it with a throw from a distance, not a good decision.
4th quarter, still 06:02 – Thiemann has to get out in one slap, Theis comes back in. Isaac Bonga then affects an offensive foul, it is his fourth. One more and he has to go down.
4th quarter, still 06:12 – Thiemann meets both free throws, but Turkey is not put off by it, makes two baskets and leads again with five points.
4th quarter, still 07:08 – Isaac Bonga hits an important throw from the corner for Germany. As a result, the DBB team Şengün defends outstanding, and Johannes Thiemann from Osmani is then fouled at the front and is allowed to the line twice.
4th quarter, still 08:05 – Cedi Osman hits a threesome again. What a performance of the forward.
4th quarter, still 08:23 – Şengün meets Turkey, on the other hand, the next offensive foul is affordable. However, this is a controversial.
4th quarter, still 08:49 – Germany comes into the last quarter with a good defensive sequence. But it doesn’t work offensive either, Tristan Da Silva makes a stupid foul when setting. Possession of Türkiye.
3. Quarter – Dennis Schröder remains a puzzle here so far, is defensively active and good in the passing game, but even the playmaker hardly scores. He only hits one of two free throws. It should be the last point of the third quarter. 66:67 From a German perspective!
3. Quarter – Again the German defense conquered the ball, switches quickly. Da Silva alludes to Wagner on the outside, but his trial attempt lands on the ring. As a result, the Turks then play their strength under the ring again and make four points in a row.
3. Quarter – Şengün meets again, but Tristan Da Silva has the right answer with a threesome! And shortly afterwards Thiemann follows. It is the compensation from a German perspective.
3. Quarter – First of all, Germany fends off an attack by the Turks well, then Franz Wagner loses the ball. As a result, Cedi Osman meets his fifth threesome. An outstanding performance in just seven attempts.
