The DBB team marches through the European Championship. In the round of 16 against Portugal, it didn’t look good for a long time. In the last quarter, Maolo Lo turned up. The live ticker for reading.

Germany – Portugal 85:58

Conclusion: In the end, the DBB selection clearly moves into the quarter-finals. The game does not reflect the clear result. Portugal held the first three quarters in Riga and sometimes even led. In the end, Maolo Lo turned up and scored some three. Tristan da Silva went one step further with another threesome. Otherwise, Wagner, Schröder and Co. hardly met from the outside, so Portugal sensed their chance to the last quarter. In the end, the Iberers then went out of strength.

Thanks to a significant increase in performance in the last quarter, especially by Maolo Lo, the quarter -finals can now be looked forward to. The opponent can be observed from the couch during the encounter between Italy and Slovenia. In the next game, the Germans hope for a better hit rate from outside again. The hope must remain that the classically difficult game is now behind.

4. Quarter

40. Minute: Again Tristan da Silva with the threesome. In the end it becomes very clear. Portugal is flat in the last quarter.

38. Minute: Tristan Da Silva also hits the threesome now. 79:58 at two minutes. The game is decided.

36. Minute: It looks like Germany can now easily bring things over the finish line. Maolo Lo is the man of the evening. The fourth threesome sits for him. 73:54, that must be the decision.

30. Minute: Lo runs hot. His third threesome. Afterwards Andi Obst also meets. Germany is gone for twelve.

31. Minute: Schröder takes the throw and increases by two. Then Germany wins the ball. Maolo Lo then with the strong threesome.

3. Quarter

30. Minute: There is a tremor in Riga. Germany leads again at the end of the 3rd quarter. But only with one point, because two ball losses were just too simple shortly before the end and Portugal ranking again.

27. Minute: Maolo Lo finally hits a threesome again. Then Germany conquers the ball again and Schröder is fouled. It goes to the free -wire line and now increases to 49:43.

26. Minute: Even if Franz Wagner turns two free throws to 44:40. The threes fall on the track. We are now at one of 23 litters.

22. Minute: Bonga conquers the ball and pulls the Dunk to 37:34. Stay on now!

20. Minute: The teams are back. A turnaround is now necessary for the Germans. Will the threes fall in the second round?

Halftime: So far, the Germans hardly do justice to their favorite role. Only a threesome fell in the first 20 minutes and that with over 18 attempts. A embarrassing quota. But: Portugal does not play the stars from heaven and does what it can do. Germany has to increase if the move into the quarter -finals is to be succeeded.

2. Quarter

20. Minute: Germany has a hard time fighting in the first half. Shortly before the end, Schröder shortens second quarter to 31:32.

18. Minute: Germany conquers the ball twice and shortens 25:26 by Bonga and Schröder.

17. Minute: It is incredible. Germany does not hit the litter. So far, the German eleven has only hit one of 15 throws from the triple line. Portugal pulls some of it.

15. Minute: Portugal meets a threesome again after ages and turns the game again. Germany’s throws are too inaccurate. Hardly any throw comes close to the basket.

11. Minute: Germany is still not warm. The threes don’t want to fall.

The German team, on the other hand, flew through their group phase. Dennis Schröder, Franz Wagner and Co. had no problems and won all five games. Particularly remarkable: in no game it was still tight and in the first four games there was three digits.

Flawless balance sheet

In the end there were against Montenegro (106: 76), Sweden (105: 83) and Lithuania (107: 88), the toughest opponent of the German, comfortable victories so far. Last Monday, the DBB selection dismantled the team from Great Britain with 120: 57. The 100 points did not want to fall in the final group game against the Finns. In the end it was “only” 91:61.

The German team’s balance in the duel against Portugal is flawless. There have been eight victories in the last eight duels. The last encounter was a few days ago and dated from 2016. At that time there was a completely different German team to see. The golden generation around the world champions from Manila was still a future music.

Interim coach Alan Ibrahimagic, who was on the sidelines in the absence of the diseased boss, called that “a new tournament is now beginning.” The only downer of the previous European Championship is the injury -related failure of Johannes Voigtmann, who will be missing the rest of the tournament. Nevertheless, the DBB team goes into the game against Portugal as a clear favorite and wants to take a clear victory into the quarter-finals. ((tb)
