Greece Basketball Team
Greece needs to play at its best to overcome Germany, with Antetokounmpo being a key player. With an average of 27 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game, Antetokounmpo is a formidable force on the court. Vassilis Toliopoulos, averaging 12 points per game, is another option for the Greeks. Thomas Walkup, averaging 9.3 points and 3.7 assists per game, is the next option. However, Greece will only be able to overcome Germany if they can defend the rim efficiently. Other players need to step up and control the flow of the game. Greece will cover the spread if Antetokounmpo dominates the front of the rim and gets his teammates involved. They must also stop Schroeder and Wagner from hitting their shots.
Germany Basketball Team
Germany advanced to the quarterfinals after a strong group performance, defeating Japan, Brazil, and France. Dennis Schroeder and Franz Wagner contributed to their victory, with Wagner enjoying a run over the French. Germany’s NBA talents, including Wagner, Schroeder, and Isaac Bonga, have been instrumental in their success. Wagner has averaged 21.7 points and five assists per game, while Schroeder has averaged 19.7 points and nine assists per game. Bonga has been a valuable third scorer, with an average of 11 points per game. The Germans are also strong on the boards, with Daniel Theis and Johannes Voightmann averaging seven rebounds and six boards respectively.
