The match did not reek of suspense, and as expected, Germany rolled over Japan. First expected result in group E. It affects one without making the other shudder.

Obvious result, lesson correctly applied by Germany, and first punch from Gordie Herbert’s men.
To make it less linear than the summary of a “fairly one-way” match, we’re going to do it differently: what we liked, and what we didn’t like. We really liked the n°2 of Japan, Yuki Togashishort of 1m67, but holder of enormous balls when responding. Not at all: 0/5 shooting and 3 lost balls. Morality isn’t cool, but he’s the little one who caused his basketball team to lose. When you are told that life is not a fairy tale. We liked the leadership of Yuta Watanabe. Necessarily targeted by the Germans, the new Suns winger only shot at 2/10 from afar. He made up for it in interior scoring (20 points), ball-in-hand decision-making, and in the intensity of possessions to allow his team, if only to hope by returning to -17 in the 3rd quarter. We loved zone 2-3 in Japan. Real vermin strategy that. We recognize the mentality of theoutsider who travels 45 minutes away on Sunday to bring back a result with only six players including one in the tank. But yes, roughly speaking, we loved this grinta – on and off the pitch. A lay-up returned? Big hubbub coming down from the stands, the bench standing, and the impression of a Japanese selection overthrowing the hierarchy. However, on the floor, the score drastically separated three or four minutes from halftime. Time to please the Japanese, then let Germany recite its prose.
We liked the seriousness with which the Germans made people feel that there was no way. It may only be the Japanese opposite, they gave everything – in the stands as on the floor – to ignite the meeting and reverse the momentum. Nay. Germany is too serious for dangerous games. And in the continuity of this idea, we fell in love with the Moritz Wagner FIBA format. Even more powerful than usual. More slabby. The impression of a potato in a field of asparagus. His score sheet? 25 points at 10/14 shooting and 9 rebounds. Bun. Dennis Schroder and Daniel Theis correctly accompanied him. And that’s an 81 to 63 victory for the Germans, who temporarily take the lead in Group E with Australia, Finland’s gravedigger in the morning.
An alley-oop so good we need to watch it from all the angles 🤩#AkatsukiJapan #FIBAWC x #WinForJapan pic.twitter.com/YRPEXx3MNA
