We really thought that there would be no match between theGermany and the Brazil. Franz Wagner sends Daniel Theis to the alley-oop and the Mannschaft defense is too intense for the poor Brazilians.
At the end of the first quarter, there was already +12 (22-10) for Germany, and the gap rose to +14 in the process. Except that Brazil would find a providential man, and probably not the most expected. Vitor Benite thus linked the 3-point baskets and he brought the Seleçao back into the game, almost single-handedly!
The end of the second quarter was completely crazy, with the Brazilians shooting from outside and Dennis Schröder responding, also from afar, and the two teams went into the locker room tied (40-40).
Unlike France, however, Germany did not want to play at scaring themselves, and increased their defensive intensity. Bruno Caboclo came off for five fouls and the Mannschaft took off again.
One last match for first place in the group
Forced to win to stay alive in the tournament, Brazil tries to hang on, and it's a struggle with the Germans who don't want to give them anything. Isaac Bonga is excellent in support of Dennis Schröder or Franz Wagner and here is Germany who logically wins and goes to the quarter-finals of these Olympic Games.
Indeed, with two wins, Gordon Herbert's players are assured of finishing in one of the top two places in the group before the third match, since Japan and Brazil have no wins on their side.
As a result, the Blues, with their two victories as well, are now also qualified for the quarter-finals of the Olympic Games.
The first place in this group B will therefore be decided on Friday, at 9:00 p.m., between France and Germany!
