Germany emerges victorious over Lithuania, progressing to the quarterfinals
The German basketball team has secured a decisive win against Lithuania in their latest European Championship (EM) group game, with a final score of 107:88. The victory has put the team in a strong position, potentially delaying a potential matchup with top favorite Serbia.
The game saw the German team gradually catch up to the reigning world champion, with a 10:2 lead at the start that was extended to a 21:3 run early on. Two of the team's star players, Daniel Theis and Dennis Schröder, shone brightly.
Daniel Theis scored an impressive 23 points, converting all nine of his shots, while Schröder added 26 points to the team's tally. Theis's 100th point was scored from the free throw line in the third game, which ended in a three-digit score. Franz Wagner also contributed with 24 points.
However, the game was not without incident. Opposing fans allegedly racially insulted Dennis Schröder during the match, an act that Schröder, the team's captain, deemed unacceptable and not respectful or accepting of racism.
Coach Alex Mumbru was represented by his assistant, Alan Ibrahimagic, due to illness. Ibrahimagic stated before the game that the team is unlikely to rest in the upcoming game against Britain, which will take place on Monday. If both teams win their groups, they would face each other in a possible final on September 14 in Riga.
The German team is already in the round of 16 of the European Championship, and their aim is to finish the group stage as winners. The team's captain expressed that finishing the group as winners is a significant motivation for the team.
Regarding the coaching staff, the search results do not provide specific information about the assistant coaching team of Álex Mumbru during the EM group game against Lithuania.
Schröder's resilience and the team's determination were clear throughout the game, demonstrating their commitment to overcoming adversity and securing victories. The German team will now focus their attention on their next game against Britain, aiming to continue their winning streak in the European Championship.
