Despite a stuttering start
German basketball players advance to the semi-finals
After the gold coup of the German 3x3 players, the men are also fighting for the medals in the classic basketball variant at the Olympic Games.
On Tuesday, Germany won their quarter-final against Greece in the Bercy Arena after a difficult start 76:63 and are now in the semi-finals for the first time at the Summer Games. Franz Wagner was the best scorer with 18 points. They now face the winner of the game between France and Canada on Thursday.
Greeks start strongly
After a laborious opening phase, in which NBA star Giannis Antetokounmpo produced some spectacular dunks, Germany took an increasingly clear lead after half-time and were no longer in serious danger. After bronze at their home European Championships in 2022 and gold at last year's World Cup, the coach's team now have their third medal within reach within a short space of time.
Serbia against Australia, hosts France against Canada and Brazil against top favorites USA are also in the quarter-finals on Tuesday.
