Brazil vs. Germany Team Review
Team Brazil
Team Brazil guard Macerlinho Huertas started his 2024 Paris Olympics on a good note. On the other hand, his contribution wasn’t enough to maintain the Brazilian team’s competitive performance against the French basketball team. At the end of this team’s debut game, the Brazilian veteran got 11 points, five assists, three rebounds, and a steal. From the field, Huertas made five out of seven shot attempts with one three-pointer. Thus, the 41-year-old should lead this team’s youngsters to clinch their first Olympic match win against Germany.
Christiano Felicio came off the bench for 29 minutes to make 40% of his field goals (4-of-10). Also, the Brazilian forward got six of his eight shots from the charity stripe. This, he got 14 points and six offensive rebounds. Leonard Meindl, who was this team’s best performer in their last pre-Olympic game, got 14 points and five rebounds with a low shooting efficiency of 5-of-13 from the field with three three-pointers made out of six attempts. Thus, Team Brazil should improve its offensive performance and spice it up with a good defensive playbook to dominate Team Germany.
Team Germany
Franz Wagner, who played dominant offense for this German team, led the team with 22 points with a good shooting efficiency of 9-of-17 field goal attempts with two three-pointers made out of eight. Therefore, Franz should work on his three-pointers to make an incredible impact for team Germany in their next game. To support the team’s defense, the 22-year-old forward grabbed five rebounds and a block.
Daniel Theis had a perfect debut game against Team Japan, as he got 18 points, making 7-of-7 field goals with 2-of-2 downtown shots. Also, Thies grabbed seven rebounds and a steal to support the frontcourt players. Further, Dennis Schroder complemented the team’s offensive weakness, which is playmaking skill, as he clinched his double-double performance of points and assists. The 30-year-old guard bagged 13 points, 12 assists, and two rebounds, shooting 50% of his field goal attempts (6-of-12), with one three-point made out of six attempts.
Possible Breakout Players of the Game
Team Brazil
This Brazilian basketball team has some players that could break out in the second Olympic match, which includes the Golden State Warriors Gui Santos. Santos came off the bench for 24 minutes to make nine points, three assists, three steals, and two rebounds. Though his performance was average, we should watch out for an improved shooting performance from Santos.
Aside from Gui Santos, two players made decent out offensively and defensively off the bench. Vitor Benite came off the bench for 12 minutes to make seven points, two assists, two boards, and two steals. Also, Yago Santos displayed more playmaking skills by clinching two points, six assists, four rebounds, and two steals in 14 minutes.
Team Germany
Moritz Wagner has always been an excellent sixth man for Team Germany. The 27-year-old center came off the bench for 18 minutes to bag 15 points, three assists, and five rebounds, making 50% of his field goal attempts (5-of-10). The 6’6 player could do better off the bench as a vital supportive player. Also, Mortiz could display a 3-and-D performance.
