The generation around superstar Dirk Nowitzki then won bronze at the 2002 World Championships and second place at the European Championships in 2005. Will it be the final again this year and at least silver?

To do this, the DBB team in the capital must first overcome the hurdle in Spain.

Nick Weiler-Babb from FC Bayern: Tough defender in the DBB team

Update from September 16, 7:45 p.m .:

As a tough defender, Nick Weiler-Babb from FC Bayern Munich has an important function in the DBB team.

He usually guards the opponent's point guard, allowing Maodo Lo to focus on playmaking and Dennis Schröder on making baskets.

Born in the USA, he only received a German passport at the beginning of August and accordingly joined the German national team late.

The Munich player also showed a strong game against the Greeks in the quarter-finals.

The team around NBA stars Rudy Gobert and Evan Fournier won their semi-final against Poland by a clear 95:54 (34:18) in Berlin on Friday and is therefore a possible final opponent for the German team, who will meet Spain in the second semi-final from 8:30 p.m.

The best French thrower was Guerschon Yabusele with 22 points in front of 11,563 spectators in Berlin.

Basketball EM: Germany against Spain in the live ticker – in Berlin it is about the final

First report from September 16th:

Munich/Berlin – It would be the first European Championship final for a German national basketball team since the 2005 final. At that time, the DBB team lost the final clearly 62:78 against Greece.

On Tuesday, Germany won 107:96 in Berlin against the heavily ranked Greeks and thus realized their dream of reaching the semi-finals in their own country.

This Friday evening (from 8.30 p.m.) it is against the reigning world champion from Spain.

But the squad of national coach Gordon Herbert wants more.

“We have very good quality.

If we bring them onto the floor, we have a very good chance," said Johannes Voigtmann before the game in the capital: "If we go there with ten percent less, then not." "It doesn't matter who plays for the Spaniards, they are always there.

You have a very good coach.”

Dennis Schröder against world champion Spain in focus: Will the DBB captain deliver the next gala?

The center of Olimpia Milan explained before the showdown: "Spain has an incredible basketball culture.

They play good basketball.

It's a semi-final, of course it's going to be a tough game.” From the last European Championship five years ago, a 72:84 remained from a German perspective, but NBA center Daniel Theis doesn't want to let it rest on that.

"We can enjoy the moment, but we still owe the Spaniards something from the EM five years ago," said Theis from the Indiana Pacers after the coup against the co-favorites from Greece.

The best German player on the record in this duel was NBA star and DBB captain Dennis Schröder (26 points), who showed no signs of nervousness in the final training session.

His coach is also optimistic.

"We expected to get this far, but our mission is not over yet," said national coach Herbert, who comes from Canada.

NBA professional Franz Wagner (Orlando Magic) comes from the venue itself.

The 21-year-old said ahead of the semifinals: "It's definitely one of the most important games of my career.

In the NBA I wasn't allowed to play that many important games.

To represent Germany at the European Championships in your own country, in your city in a semi-final, that's something special."
