The old Lakers will be really powerful! Schroeder 30 points and 7 helped turn the tide and help Germany 85-82 to beat Australia
In yesterday's Group C game, the US men's basketball team once trailed New Zealand 5-14, and then Lakers guard Reeves came on the court to stabilize the situation and teamed up with Haliburton to direct a big victory, 12 points and 6 assists, +20 plus-minus is the highest in the game.
Today, his backcourt partner last season and this offseason signing Raptors "Black" Schroder is even more powerful, smashing 30 points and 7 assists in the strong dialogue of Germany vs Australia, helping the team win this key battle and basically lock up the first place in the group.
In this game, the German interior lacks Wagner Jr., who was injured in the last game, but Theis and Wagner are also tough NBA interior combinations, coupled with Xiao Hei, who immediately turned into a big killer when he came to the international arena, Germany is not at all worthy of facing Australia, which has 9 NBA players.
The game began with a confrontation between Schroeder and Mills, two NBA-produced FIBA "killers", Mills hit five consecutive shots at one point, while Schroeder scored five points and three assists, team-wide attack, and Germany trailed 24-25 in the first quarter.
In the second quarter, Schroeder opened the takeover mode, scoring 13 points and 2 assists in a single quarter to support the team's attack, while the Australian side Mills' physical decline was no longer magical, and another ball carrier, Josh Giddy, contributed 8 points and 2 assists to maintain the situation, and Germany won 49-44 at halftime.
The confrontation between the two sides became more and more intense, Australia gradually took the initiative by virtue of its superiority in personnel thickness, while Germany could only rely on Schroeder's support, and the impact of Wagner's absence gradually appeared. Australia's 7-0 offensive put the score back and led 66-62 in the third quarter.
In the final quarter, Germany once again reflected their tenacity in the game Dengo, Schroeder's three-pointer, Maodo Lowe's hot hand helped the team to overtake again, Lowe in the final quarter to score 10 points is the team's hero.
However, Australia was equally tenacious, with Giddy's dunk and Green's three-point throw closing the gap again, and it was Schroder who came out to stabilize the situation, scoring 7 points and 3 assists in the quarter and contributing a key layup.
In the final minute, Schroeder and Mills each made a mistake, and Australia missed another 3-point fight to lose 82-85.
Schroeder shot 10-of-19 from the field and 5-of-9 from three-point range today, scoring 30 points, eight assists and four steals.
On the Australian side, Mills had 21 points, five rebounds and six assists, and his strength declined after the first quarter and he could not resist the opposing counterattack, and Josh Giddy had 17 points and three assists, but he was still one step away from becoming the leader of the team.
This is the most technical, confrontational and suspenseful set of matchups since the start of the World Cup. There is basically no problem for both teams to qualify, although there are important main players (Australian Landale, Germany Wagner), but it does not affect the excitement of the game.
Expect them to play well after they advance.
