The coach returned to Germany and almost got rid of it. He dug a hole in three quarters and sent it away in one quarter. The 27-point victory was shocking.

The 2025 Men's Basketball Team European Cup has entered the knockout stage. As the favorite to win the championship, the German men's basketball team faced the challenge of the fourth Portuguese men's basketball team in the round of 16. On one side is the Galaxy battleship, which has won all five games, has never lost, and is ranked third in the world. On the other side is the weak team that has only won two games in the group stage, has difficulty qualifying, and has ranked 56th in the world. Before the game, the outside world generally believed that this was a suspenseless showdown, and the German tank would ruthlessly run over the opponent. Unexpectedly, the German team was not only once scored the biggest backward score difference in this competition, but also played a match with their opponents in the first three quarters, and only barely won the victory with a wave of flow in the last quarter.

To be honest, seeing that the German men's basketball team was once in a quagmire, it really made a cold sweat for their coach Monbruin. Why do you say so? Because of acute infection, Montbrunn has been in bed since the first game of the group stage. The German team played a phenomenal performance when the coach was absent due to illness. They averaged 105.8 points per game and had a net victory of 32.8 points. Both data were the cliff-like firsts in this European Cup. As a result, in the first game of Montbrün's comeback, the German men's basketball team encountered a hard battle, and began to fall behind 2-7, creating the biggest backward score difference that the German team has ever encountered, and they performed abnormally in the first three quarters. Just imagine, if the German team really didn't stand it and lost the game in an upset, it would be impossible to imagine what kind of pressure Monbruin would face.

Fortunately, the worst scene was not released. The German men's basketball team dug three quarters and performed completely differently in the last quarter, passing the score without any danger. How naughty was the German team's performance in the first three quarters? In the first five games, their sports combat shooting percentage was as high as 55.7%, and their three-point shooting percentage was as high as 43.3%. No matter who they beat, they will be ruined. As a result, in the match against Portugal, the German team seemed to have lost the scope in the first three quarters, and only hit one goal in the first 24 three-pointers... In addition, the Portuguese men's basketball team was extremely tenacious, and the three quarters were over, and the German team was only one point ahead.

The Tigers also took a nap. The German team's performance was obviously relaxed, but they had an absolute advantage in their books. As long as they tightened slightly, the situation on the field would undergo a 180-degree reversal. In the final quarter, the German men's basketball team used a 22-3 attack wave to directly widen the score difference, 33-7 in a single quarter, making the Portuguese men's basketball team unable to find North. When the final whistle sounded, I looked closely and saw that the German men's basketball team still won by 27 points, which was really a mess. This game also showed the German Legion's fault tolerance rate from the side. Even though the performance in the first three quarters was already extremely bad, they were able to bottom out and rebound in one quarter. Judging from the final score difference, it seemed that those stalemate had never happened.

Schroeder and Wagner Jr. still play the role of Dinghai. The former made 6 of 15 shots, contributed 16 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists, while the latter made 4 of 11 shots, scoring 16 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists. The disadvantage is that the two of them made a total of 0 of 11 shots from outside the three-point line. If they make an extra 1-2 three-point shots, they don’t have to play so hard in the first three quarters. The German team has players standing up in every game to provide strong support to the two main players. It was Maodolo's turn to stand up in this game. In this game, he made 4 of 7 three-pointers and contributed 12 points, becoming the only player in the team with an outside star still on the team. On the Portuguese side, Celtics' inside player Queta scored a double-double record with 18 points and 11 rebounds, and tasted the bitterness of a four-handed fight.

To be fair, the German team's performance in this game is really bad. If it were replaced by other strong teams, it would be possible that they would be defeated in one fell swoop. Unfortunately, the strength of the Portuguese men's basketball team is limited. I believe that after going back, Montbrunn will review the game well and try not to let such a situation happen again. In the subsequent schedule, the more cautious German team may be more difficult to defeat. In your opinion, can the German men's basketball team finally reach the top? Is there anyone in the remaining team able to challenge them?
