Germany battles with France for a spot in the finals, as they meet for their semi-finals meeting, for a chance for the gold. Heading into this match, these two teams are actually from the same group in the group stage. However, it was Germany who won their group, which is not surprising, considering their run recently. With that, Germany are aiming to keep their perfect run in the contest, and earn their spots in the finals. Meanwhile, France is at the second of their group stage with two wins and one loss, enough for them to advance. Although France never won a gold here, they remain to have a huge chance for the gold here. The meeting between these two teams is on August 8, 2024, at 11:30 PM (GMT+8).
Germany Basketball Team
Germany, a formidable opponent since their FIBA World Cup win, will face France in the Olympics. They won four of their first four contests by double digits, with NBA stars Franz Wagner and Denis Schroder leading the way with 52 combined points. Wagner, the team’s leading scorer at 20.8 points per game, had his best offensive performance of the Paris Games in the victory against France. Schroder, a Brooklyn Nets guard, also recorded 26 points against the French but fell short of posting his second double-double of the Olympics. Seven players have scored in double figures for Germany so far, including Wagner and Schroder, and forward Isaac Bonga, who twice did so.
France Basketball Team
France’s team, led by 2024 NBA Rookie of the Year Victor Wembanyama, is aiming for their fourth silver medal in men’s basketball. Despite a poor shooting night, France’s defense stepped up, forcing Canada to lose 5-21. Victor Wembanyama contributed 12 rebounds, while international veterans Isaia Cordinier and Guerschon Yabusele contributed 42 combined points. France’s Evan Fournier, a returning member of their silver medal-winning team in the 2020 Tokyo Games, scored in double figures in each of his last three games. Guerschon Yabusele, who played for the Boston Celtics from 2017-19, led the French with 22 points in the victory over the Canadians. The French team is motivated by their home country and seeks another upset over their biggest competition.
