+++ Basketball World Cup in Liveticker +++: Germany fights against Dominican Republic for the first victory

Germany vs. Germany Dominican Republic 9/3/19 8:24 AM Victor Efevberha The Opponent: The Dominican Republic is especially dangerous in the transition (shift game) forward. After the rebound on the defensive, they often come with long passes and seek the quick conclusion. This should give the opposing teams little time to organize themselves in the defense. Due to their fast switching game, the Dominicans are often very chaotic in attack. Generally, their game looks a bit unconventional. In the last game against Jordan, which they have narrowly won, it has been revealed that they are hard to defend big players. Because they are not a very big team. This should benefit Daniel Theis and Joannes Voigtmann. Germany vs. Germany Dominican Republic 9/3/19 8:17 AM Maximilian Rau What Germany did against France for a long time: They searched for the pick-and-roll very often and then mostly failed because Rudy Gobert is probably the best pick-and-roll Roll defender of the world is. Later was then no longer rolled to the basket, but gepopt in the direction of three-line. And then the litters fell, especially by Jo Voigtmann. But as Victor has already said: Also Kleber and Zipser must be more determined and refuse to open litters. Germany vs. Germany Dominican Republic 9/3/19 8:14 am Interview with Maximilian Rau Dennis Schröder and national coach Henrik Rödl. The picture was taken during yesterday's training. Swen Pförtner / dpa Germany vs. Dominican Republic 9/3/19 8:10 AM Victor Efevberha Dennis Schröder and his back to the wall stand against the Dominican Republic. The second defeat would make progress in this group G almost impossible. We can assume that the French win their game against Jordan today. Therefore, a victory for Germany is mandatory. In the first game, the DBB selection was late in the game. This was mainly due to France's aggressive defense. The Germans will probably not have such a hard time today. Nevertheless, it should be avoided to run after an early backlog. The Dominicans will concentrate on Dennis Schröder in defense and try to keep the ball out of his hands. That's why it's important that his teammates relieve him on offense. Above all, Maxi Kleber and Paul Zipser, who were very unremarkable against France. We are also looking forward to see if Johannes Voigtmann can confirm his good start. Germany vs. Germany Dominican Republic 9/3/19 8:03 AM Maximilian Rau Let's take a quick look at the other groups.
