Was ein geiles #BasketballWM#Finale, mein Puls war bis zum Anschlag. Ich feier das Team schon hart, einfach stabile Leistung, ganz viel Liebe. Jetzt hoffe ich, dass Basketball auch in Deutschland mehr in den Fokus rückt, einfach großartiger Sport 💜
Ich bin seit 35 Jahren begeisterter Basketballfan und möchte zum WM-Sieg des deutschen Teams um Dennis Schröder in Manila eigentlich nur saAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! 🏀🏀🏀🎉🎉🎉🏀🏀🏀🎉🎉🎉
@buerviper Germany #basketball World Champions! With a full-win card, all games for them, well deserved!
Breaking the final in the 3rd quarter, what a display of confidence, they made it all. Serbia fought until the end, but Germany retained the lead in the game with a stellar Dennis Shroeder.
Die Ära Hansi Flick beim DFB ist beendet. Der Verband stellte den Bundestrainer nach mehreren schwachen Ergebnissen frei. Laut DFB-Präsident Neuendorf war der Rauswurf "unumgänglich".
Spain vs Canada, winner goes through, loser goes out.
1st quarter 21-21
Both started nervous. CAN managed it better so far. CAN strong in defensive rebound, no 2nd chances for ESP. ESP good at stealing with front defence, weaker in the paint.
ESP has an Italian coach, Scariolo. CAN has a Spanish coach, Jordi Fernandez.
These words come from an Italian man. Although his wife Blanca and their two kids are Spanish, he has contributed enormously to the concept of playing basketball "like Spain".
Grazie, coach. Sono fiero di te.
As Ricky Rubio says: Never too high, never too low.
Strong start! #Brazil very accurate on their shots 1st quarter. Overcoming Spain's defense with cold blood. Strong and performant: Caboclo. But lost focus in last 5 minutes.
#Spain very aggressive in defense. Good lead by Juan Nuñez. Juancho Hernangomez had some inaccuracies. Spain ahead thanks to 3-pointers in 2nd quarter and strong bench.
Open game! Will Spain keep strong? Can Brazil overcome? My money's on Spain
#Brazil had one option, but couldn't push forward. In the 3rd quarter #Spain got stuck. But Brazil too, and they only made it to - 5
Spain broke the game mid-4th quarter thanks to neverending strong defense and offense accuracy. Every player from Spain's bench was as good as the starting one.
Spain goes through as group lead (still to play Iran). Brazil should secure qualification against Ivory Coast.
Spain was on track for the 100 points with good scoring from the 3-point line in the 3rd quarter (Claver, Abrines) but lost focus at beginning of 4th quarter. To improve: too many turnovers. They will compete with Brazil to lead their group.
Ivory Coast remained strong in defense recovering some distance with good offenses (but not enough). They will compete to be the best African team to qualify directly for the Olympics.
