If this final of the Basketball World Cup was expected, the spectators of the orange ball rather expected to see the United States or Canada but Germany and Serbia will finally compete for the world throne after having eliminated the two North American nations. In a final where everything is open, the Germans will be able to rely on one of the best shooters in the competition, Andreas Obst, author of 24 points at 4/8 at 3-points against the Americans. With Denis Schroder as leader, the Germans want to win gold as confirmed by German team coach Gordon Herbert after the success against Team USA: “It’s a special group. We always stayed together even when things went wrong. So we’re enjoying it tonight and we’re preparing for Sunday. We talked about it in the locker room after the match: it’s a wonderful victory, “But we’re not where we want to be yet. This group of players wants to win gold, so there’s one more win to be had. We’ll let the players enjoy it tonight and tomorrow we’ll move on.”
On the Serbian side, Bogdan Bogdanovic and his partners do not seem to be bothered by the absence of Nikola Jokic. The Serbs eliminated the Canadians this Friday in a one-sided semi-final with almost Canadian stars like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and RJBarrett. For this final, Svetislav Pešić will be able to rely on his handyman Bogdan Bogdanovic (23 points against Canada) but also on Ognjen Dobric and Nikola Milutinov (authors of 32 points between them). This final looks very balanced on paper. In any case, the new World Champion will be unprecedented.
