12:33 p.m
The next fastbreak points for the Czech Republic, scored by the nimble Andrea Andelova.
14
12:32
Now, unfortunately, Lisa Thomaidis also feels forced to take a break, because the Czech Republic scores five quick points with two attacks. That’s why the Canadian trainer directs her speech to “Transition-D”.
13.
12:29
The Czechs only get their first points in the quarter after a good three minutes.
13.
12:27
Germany leads with nine points, Romana Ptackova is already taking her second break. The Czech coach now looks much more tense than when she first spoke.
13.
12:26
Half the three-dozen is full, Fiebich adds from the left corner!
12.
12:25
And it looks good! Leonie Fiebich has already converted the fifth of twelve threes for the German team!
11.
12:24
The rules are complicated. However, due to other results, it is now clear that a win today would be enough for the DBB team to go to the Olympic qualifying tournament.
11.
12:23
Beginning of 2nd quarter
10
12:22
Quarter conclusion:
Germany got off to a good start in the match and is much better offensively than they were against Spain.
10
12:21
But Emily Bessoir also managed a threesome four seconds before the end of the quarter!
10
12:21
The two threes and two free throws – the Czech Republic equalized with an 8-0 run.
10
12:19
Renata Brezinova with the next Czech threesome. Over 40 minutes, the throws on both sides will not fall like that.
9.
12:18
Generally high rates of three in this match, that also looked very different against Spain. Now Petra Holesinska cheekily hits Marie Gülich. Germany still leads with five.
9.
12:16
Leonie Fiebich with the next threesome! Romana Ptackova takes the first time out in the match.
8th.
12:14
Sonja Greinacher with a threesome from the inside right position! Born in Essen, she was one of the few bright spots in the game against Spain.
7.
12:12
Don’t let up now! Luisa Geiselsöder makes an unnecessary loss of ball on her own basket.
7.
12:11
The Czech Republic now seems to have found a way and is once again looking for a quick attack on the basket. Petra Holesinska pulls the foul.
5.
12:10 p.m
You can also convince at the back, the Czech Republic takes the seconds off the clock with good positioning and thus forces the emergency throw.
4.
12:07 p.m
Open throw position for Leonie Fiebich. Although the three does not fall, the Germans get the next offensive rebound. The DBB team is much more present today than it was against Spain.
3.
12:06
Strong action from Svenja Brunckhorst, who rushes into the circle, jumps up to the basket and still pulls the foul!
3.
12:05
Renata Brezinova with an open three, the German defense doesn’t look good.
2.
12:04
Marie Gülich with the first points for the DBB team. Hopefully the 29-year-old can be better integrated into the game today.
1.
12:02
It starts! You have to change color again after the Spain match. Germany does not play in red today, but in white. The Czech Republic appears in red.
11:55
The anthems are being played, it’s about to start in Ljubljana!
11:41
Should Germany win today, tomorrow there would still be a deciding match for fifth place and thus participation in the Olympic qualifying tournament. The opponent there would be called either Serbia or Montenegro.
11:30
The quarter-final duel of the Czechs was much tighter – they lost 61:62 to Hungary. That’s not the only reason why the Eastern Europeans are easy favorites today. A test match took place between Germany and the Czech Republic about a month ago, and the DBB team lost 51:56.
11:25
The hopes for precious metal were dashed by the clear 42:67 against Spain. Against the Spanish favorites for the title, you could hardly do anything offensively, even the top German players Leonie Fiebich and Marie Gülich were completely unregistered for long stretches.
11:23
Good morning and welcome to the game of the German women’s national basketball team! The placement games are still about entering the Olympic qualifying tournament. For that, the German team would have to win today and tomorrow. Opponent today is the Czech Republic, it starts at 12 o’clock!
