Germany Dominates Spain in Euros Opener

Germany, the reigning Basketball World Champions, kicked off their Euros campaign with a resounding victory over European champion Spain. In a thrilling match that took place recently, Germany secured a convincing 95:78 win, setting the tone for what promises to be an exciting tournament.

Captain Dennis Schröder led the charge for Germany, scoring an impressive 22 points and dishing out nine assists. However, it was NBA prodigy Franz Wagner who stole the show, leading the team with a staggering 29 points, including a perfect 15 points in the first half.

The team's performance was not just about individual brilliance. Head coach Alex Mumbru praised the team's collective effort, stating that they brought good energy on defense and were in a good flow offensively. In the final stages, Wagner, Schröder, and Andreas Obst sealed the victory for Germany.

The victory over Spain was made even more significant by the fact that Germany was leading by as much as 18 points at halftime, and by 10 points at the break. David Krämer, who is out of the Euros due to a muscle injury, was sorely missed, but the team managed to hold their own without him.

The Euros will run from August 27 to September 14, and Germany's next game is against Montenegro on Wednesday. The team's starting lineup remains the same as the one that won the Euro bronze in 2022 and the world championship in 2023, consisting of Schröder, Obst, Wagner, Daniel Theis, and Johannes Voigtmann.

Former captain Patrick Femerling and basketball legend Dirk Nowitzki were present to watch the first half of the match from the front row. Nowitzki enthusiastically clapped and showed three fingers when Germany made a three-pointer, a gesture that was met with cheers from the crowd.

Schröder had a few heated exchanges with the referee during the game, but his leadership and determination were instrumental in Germany's victory. The team will look to build on this momentum as they continue their Euros journey.

In a separate development, the 2005 Euro silver medalists were honoured for their coup from Belgrade 20 years later. The name of the German basketball coach leading the national team at the EuroBasket 2025 is Àlex Mumbrú, who was absent from the early games due to illness.

As the Euros progress, expectations are high for Germany. With a strong team and a determined spirit, they are poised to make a deep run in the tournament. The next game against Montenegro will be a crucial test, and fans will be eagerly waiting to see how the team performs.
