On July 27th, the Olympic men’s basketball group stage continued as Germany defeated Japan with a score of 97-77. In this match, Germany’s dual core, Schroder and Wagner, stood out, each taking charge of the team’s offensive and defensive fronts in their respective halves, combining for an impressive 35 points, 13 assists, and 8 rebounds, thus helping Germany secure their first win.
Schroder played for 28 minutes, making 6 out of 12 shots, and scored 13 points with 12 assists. Given that Germany focused heavily on attacking the paint, Schroder did not initiate his own offensive mode, instead prioritizing teammates like Ties and Wagner for one-on-one plays. Schroder consistently provided opportunities for his teammates to score directly.
Wagner played for 26 minutes, making 9 out of 17 shots, and scored 22 points with 6 rebounds. His significant physical advantage enabled him to repeatedly exploit mismatches against Japan’s defense, easily overpowering their frontcourt.
