In the quarterfinals of the 2023 World Cup men’s basketball team, Dāvis Bertāns missed a three-pointer, causing Latvia to lose 79-81 to the undefeated Germany and miss the chance to advance to the quarterfinals.
Dennis Schroder, the core of the German team, was completely lost. He made 4 of 26 shots and only scored 9 points, 4 assists and 4 turnovers. Fortunately, Franz Wagner made a comeback and contributed 16 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists.
The German team, which has won all 5 games, met with the black horse, Tvia. The situation was see-saw, and the point difference was not too big. The German team had a slight advantage. Weiwei reversed the opportunity and almost became a sinner. Fortunately, Bertin chased for a three-pointer in the last two seconds. The ball bounced out of the frame and missed the lore. The German team narrowly won 81-79 and advanced to the top four to face the US team.
Germany trailed 10-19 in assists, but took advantage of turnovers to score 13-0, fast breaks scored 12-2, and the bench scored 44-6.
Schroeder made 9 shots in the half, but he missed 0. On the defensive end, he was humiliated by the opponent’s dislocation, and his sluggish performance slowed down the team.
Bertin missed the last blow, made 6 of 13 three-pointers and scored 20 points and 2 rebounds.
