GERMANY – SERBIA. This Sunday, Germany and Serbia face each other in the final of the Basketball World Cup. Time, TV broadcast… Discover all the information on this surprise poster.
If this final of the Basketball World Cup was expected, the spectators of the orange ball rather expected to see the United States or Canada but Germany and Serbia will finally compete for the world throne after having eliminated the two North American nations. In a final where everything is open, the Germans will be able to rely on one of the best shooters in the competition, Andreas Obst, author of 24 points at 4/8 at 3-points against the Americans. With Denis Schroder as leader, the Germans want to win gold as confirmed by the coach of the German selection Gordon Herbert after the success against Team USA: “It’s a special group. We have always stayed together even when the things were going wrong. So we’re taking advantage of it tonight and preparing for Sunday. We talked about it in the locker room after the game: it’s a wonderful victory, but we’re not yet where we want to be. This group of players wants to win gold, so there’s still one win to go for. We’ll let the players enjoy it tonight and tomorrow we’ll move on.”
On the Serbian side, Bogdan Bogdanovic and his partners do not seem to be bothered by the absence of Nikola Jokic. The Serbs eliminated the Canadians this Friday in a one-sided semi-final with almost Canadian stars like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and R.J.Barrett. For this final, Svetislav Peši? will be able to rely on his handyman Bogdan Bogdanovic (23 points against Canada) but also on Ognjen Dobric and Nikola Milutinov (authors of 32 points between them). This finish looks very balanced on paper. In any case, the new world champion will be unprecedented.
The Basketball World Cup final between Germany and Serbia is scheduled to kick off on Sunday September 10 at 2:40 p.m. at the Mall of Asia Arena in Manila (Philippines).
