The 2023 Men's Basketball World Cup has come to an end, and in the end, Germany narrowly defeated Serbia 83-77 to win the championship, winning the first world series championship in the team's history, and also making Serbia's "runner-up halo" more eye-catching. The victory of the German team in this men's basketball World Cup is believed to have slightly eased the sadness and indignation of the German sports community who just lost from the men's team to Japan by a score of 1-4.
In general, compared with the final finals of the previous editions (including the Men's Basketball World Championship), the final of this men's basketball World Cup is still wonderful. After a tie in the first half, Germany set off an offensive surge in the third quarter, entering the fourth quarter with a 12-point advantage, and still leading by more than ten points in the middle of the fourth quarter. But at the end of the game, Serbian Avramovic led a sudden wave of attacking climax, but several fatal mistakes and mistakes fell short, which really made the German team sweat.
In terms of the overall data of this match, the German team surpassed the Serbian team in some scoring indicators. 27-of-55 shooting, 49% of the total attack shooting rate is 7 percentage points higher than Serbia's team, 7-of-22 three-point shooting rate of 31.8%, which is also 0.8 percentage points higher than Serbia; 35 rebounds are 6 more than 29, but the front court rebounds are one less Serbia;
Of course, the German team is slightly inferior in some other statistics, such as 4 fewer steals than the opponent, 1 less assists than the opponent, and two more mistakes than the opponent.
Regardless of this match, Germany is the only team to maintain a winning streak in terms of the latitude of the entire cup, which is not easy for a team ranked eleventh in the world. Of course, after this cup, I believe that the German team will rise in the rankings.
In some of the core stats of the game, the average score of 93 points can rank fifth among all teams; 62.1% two-point shooting percentage can rank third among all teams; Three-point shooting percentage is slightly worse, ranking ninth among all teams at 38.1%; 79.1% of free throw percentage, eighth among all teams; Averaged 112.5 per game in efficiency ranked fourth among all teams; 36.1 rebounds per game ranked 19th among all teams, and 22.3 assists per game ranked eighth among all teams.
In some non-core statistics, the average of 2.1 blocks per game ranks 23rd, which is even inferior to the Chinese men's basketball team; it does a good job in error control, averaging 2.1 turnovers per game is the fourth fewest of all teams; and 8.1 steals per game can also rank 8th among all teams.
In terms of personal data, Schroeder and Wagner Jr. are the two core figures in the team. Schroder is the team's scoring leader and the MVP of this tournament, averaging 19.1 points per game, tied for 13th place with Bogdanovic and tied for 11th place with Doncic in 6.1 assists per game. Wagner Jr. has also played his own value, believing that he will have enough playing time with the Magic next season, ranking 21st among all players in his 16.8 points per game and 32nd among all players in efficiency of 17.3 per game.
The victory of the German team in this World Cup is believed to have plunged a large number of Chinese fans into contemplation and emotion, especially for those who witnessed the basketball court of the Beijing Olympics 15 years ago. I also believe that a large number of summary and reflective articles will appear on the Internet in the next few days.
But just analyzing the 15-year history of German basketball is not enough to get the answers we want. To look at European basketball from a wider latitude, German basketball is only a microcosm and representative of the rapid progress of European basketball in the past ten years. The rise of basketball in a certain country in Europe is accidental, but its appearance in Europe is inevitable.
