22:13
From dribbling, Jaromir Bohačík puts the ball on his left hand and hits it from half-distance. The Czech Republic is up to ten points. Is this going to be exciting again?
35
22:12
David Krämer creates space, but he doesn’t really want to throw anything yet.
34
22:10
Johannes Thiemann is still in the mood and scores four points within a very short time.
33
22:08
At the beginning of the final quarter, things are also a bit bumpy. Of course it’s also about not leaving too many grains in view of the games tomorrow.
32
22:07
Long ball from Lô to David Krämer, which he can no longer reach. The play equipment was probably a bit wet and therefore slipped out of my hand.
31
22:05
Maodo Lô opens the final quarter with a step-back two. The longtime albatross is definitely in EM form.
31
22:04
Beginning of 4th quarter
30
22:03
Quarter conclusion:
There was a little less momentum in the third quarter, but the DBB team has the game well under control and is still well on the way to the final. With a thirteen-point lead, we enter the final section.
30
21:59
Towards the end of the third section, David Krämer is also used.
30
21:57
The Czech Republic is currently barely under the basket and takes the next break. Tomáš Satoranský continues to be treated in the dressing room.
29
21:56
Now Johannes Thiemann moves into the left corner and does it better than Schröder before. The lead is still comfortable with 14 points.
28
21:55
The throw rate is currently a little lower, Dennis Schröder gets stuck on the edge of the basket from the left corner. Justus Hollatz keeps the ball in play with great effort and prepares the captain’s lay-up!
27
21:53
Tomáš Kyzlink definitely has no more minutes after his fifth foul.
27
21:52
Johannes Voigtmann and Leon Kratzer are now on the floor. Karim Jallow and David Krämer, on the other hand, still have to wait for their first minutes.
26
21:50
A wide threesome brings the Czech Republic up to ten points, Gordon Herbert asks for a time-out.
26
21:50
Justus Hollatz tanks up, but unluckily the ball falls out of his hand in front of the basket. With a lead of 13 points, you can probably afford it, but the initial momentum is gone for now.
25
21:46
The Wagner Festival never ends, Franz scores again from the right corner for three. The German quota of three is now above 50 percent.
24
21:45
Dennis Schröder also scores for three. Only with the actual threesome specialist Andi Obst is there still a little problem.
24
21:44
This time the passes are clearer. Franz Wagner is completely free on the right and scores for three. During the break, the NBA legionnaire said confidently about his yield in the first half: “I’ve scored better 15 points.”
22
21:41
Now the DBB team acts almost too playfully, after a long relay pass, fritters away the ball.
21
21:39
Satoranský limps off the field at first, but at least he can make his way to the sidelines on his own.
21
21:38
This does not look good. A few seconds have passed in the third quarter when Tomáš Satoranský falls to the ground in a duel with Jonas Wohlfarth-Bottermann and grabs his ankle.
21
21:38
Beginning of 3rd quarter
20
21:25
Mid-term conclusion:
That looks good! The NBA legionnaires Franz Wagner and Dennis Schröder are always in the limelight and provide many offensive highlights. The two Berliners Maodo Lô and Johannes Thiemann also get along really well, and Andreas Obst also got going better after many missed shots in the first quarter. Against the Czechs, who are particularly successful from the half-distance, everything looks like they will make it to the final at half-time.
20
21:23
Accompanied by “MVP” calls, Dennis Schröder increased the lead from the free-throw line to twelve points.
20
21:20
Curiously, the hall filled up even more during the first half. One or the other may have looked at HSV beforehand.
20
21:18
In addition to Wagner, Dennis Schröder also provides artistic moments again and again. But he can’t crown his beautiful turn with a basket.
19
21:14
Again Wagner, this time with a quick start to the basket. Born in Berlin, he is in a class of his own.
18
21:14
Franz Wagner can be celebrated. The 20-year-old from the Orlando Magic continues his great performance in the friendly against Belgium and scores confidently from the left corner!
18
21:12
At the moment the momentum is a bit out, points don’t come from either side. Ondřej Balvin is now allowed to play from the free-throw line.
16
21:08
Johannes Voigtmann now with his first threesome! In the German selection, there is a lot more going on offensively than in the first quarter.
16
21:08
The Wagner three from the left corner is not successful, but Johannes Voigtmann puts the rebound in. The DBB team nipped a possible catch-up race by the Czechs in the bud.
15
21:07
Again and again Franz Wagner solves it through his individual class. He fills up on the left as if there were no opponent there.
15
21:06
Curiously, Ondřej Balvin throws the ball onto his shoulder when he dunks. It will be fine with him: The Czech Republic is up to six points again and Gordon Herbert takes the first DBB break.
14
21:04
The Czechs manage to interrupt the run. Future Bamberg player Jaromir Bohačík is successful with a layup.
14
21:01
The Alba combination Lô on Thiemann continues to increase the lead. In the next attack, Lô hits from the left corner. Germany leads 36:24, the Czech Republic immediately takes the next time-out!
13.
21:00
And Andi Obst now transforms his first threesome! This is how you can come out of an opposing time-out.
12.
20:58
The good German start in the second quarter tempted the Czech Republic to take the first time out of the encounter.
12.
20:58
Lo again! His dreaded step-back threesome also sits for the first time. Germany is leading by four points for the first time.
11.
20:55
Despite the return of Andi Obst, Maodo Lô remains on the floor and scores the first points.
11.
20:55
Beginning of 2nd quarter
10
20:55
Quarter conclusion:
Good approaches could be identified, and there are also some improvements to be made. Above all, the DBB team’s quota of three can be improved.
10
20:52
Seconds before the end of the quarter, Ondřej Balvin made it to the free-throw line again and gave his team the lead again, even if only one try was successful.
9.
20:50
Lô fills up! However, the DBB team is still too dependent on such individual actions.
8th.
20:49
Justus Hollatz also gets his first minutes. For the native of Hamburg and longtime Tower, it is of course a special game.
7.
20:48
Christian Sengfelder scores for three and puts Germany in the lead! This does not last long, however, as the Czech Republic is successful again in direct return.
7.
20:46
Maodo Lô is also unsuccessful with his first three-point attempt. However, the rebound ends up in the German camp.
6.
20:45
WoBo and fruit get a break. Christian Sengfelder and Maodo Lô are new.
6.
20:45
Great switch to Franz Wagner, who scores for three from the outside! However, this can only shorten the gap.
5.
20:43
Clever ball win by Franz Wagner. In attack, however, the DBB team has to slow down again, and Andi Obst misses the next three.
4.
20:42
Schröder again, this time with a great pass to the left of the basket. WoBo dusts off!
3.
20:41
With a three-pointer by Dennis Schröder, Germany now even takes the lead! Nice start from the captain.
3.
20:41
A good pass from Jonas Wohlfarth-Bottermann to the left, but Andi Obst only hits the front edge of the basket. After all, you are quite safe at the back.
2.
20:39
In the initial phase, the DBB selection finds it a little difficult to find offensive solutions. Franz Wagner’s uncomfortable shot from half-distance just barely touches the front edge of the basket.
1.
20:38
A little later than announced it starts in the Barclays Arena. Germany in white, Czech Republic in blue.
20:29
A word about today’s opponent: The Czech Republic also won the last two test matches and is only one place behind Germany in the FIBA rankings. Tomáš Satoranský and Jan Veselý will play together for FC Barcelona next season.
20:24
Daniel Theis will join the team, but will not be there this weekend for workload management reasons. Niels Giffey is absent for personal reasons. Nick Weiler-Babb returned from the USA yesterday and won’t be available until tomorrow.
20:09
The German selection has already won friendlies against Belgium and the Netherlands. In this year’s Supercup, however, there are real endurance tests. In the first semi-final, Serbia, candidate for the European Championship, beat Italy 90-86 and is waiting for the winner of the upcoming game in the final tomorrow at 6:30 p.m.
20:06
Aside from the absences that are beyond his control, Gordon Herbert has other personnel decisions to make. He has already announced to the longtime captain that he will not be part of the squad at this European Championship. His office was handed over to Dennis Schröder on Wednesday. In addition, two players still have to be removed from the final squad.
19:59
Gordon Herbert, who was appointed national coach almost a year ago, actually wanted to have the 12-man squad together for the upcoming major tournament early on. But as so often in life, not everything goes according to plan when it comes to preparation. NBA legionnaire Moritz Wagner had to leave the training camp in Cologne early due to an injury. Recently naturalized Nick Weiler-Babb missed parts of the prep due to a family matter in the US.
19:50
Have a nice evening and welcome to the semi-finals of the German team at the DBB Supercup in Hamburg! The two games this weekend also serve as a dress rehearsal for the European Championship, which starts in early September. Tip-off against the Czech Republic at 8:30 p.m.
