Aiming solely on Doncic: basketball player pursuing semifinals success
In the ongoing EuroBasket 2025 tournament, the German basketball team is gearing up for a crucial quarterfinal match against Slovenia on Wednesday, 8:00 PM, to be broadcast on RTL and MagentaSport.
The Slovenian team, led by head coach Aleksander Sekulić, will be facing a formidable challenge, with Luka Doncic scoring 42 points against Italy but appearing injured at times during the game. The team, however, will need to find ways to beat the Slovenian team as a whole, rather than just focusing on Doncic, according to Maodo Lo.
The German team, on the other hand, is aiming to regain the momentum they lost in Riga and bring it back into the quarterfinal. They have had a successful run under the leadership of coach Ibrahimagic, who led the team through the group phase in Tampere, Finland.
The team's captain, Dennis Schröder, has expressed full solidarity with head coach Alex Mumbru and remains confident in the team's ability to regain their momentum. Despite struggling with pace and shooting in their hard-fought round of 16 win against Portugal, Schröder and the team are determined to put up a strong performance against Slovenia.
Mumbru, however, will be unable to coach from the bench due to pancreatic inflammation. Ibrahimagic, who will take over, emphasizes that the team's strategy will be to make the game fast and utilize their deep bench.
The showdown with Slovenia, specifically Luka Doncic, will be a key factor in determining the outcome of the game. While Doncic is likely to carry the Slovenian team once more, the rest of the team lacks the quality compared to the German team, which has now become the clear top favorites after the elimination of the Serbs and French.
Ibrahimagic reiterates that the team's focus is on their own game and wants the team to show their Tampere form again. The game against Slovenia is the next step for the German team in their pursuit of their first title in 32 years at the EuroBasket.
