The Brazilians are facing a tough test, and a win over Germany is imperative for Aco Petrovic’s boys following a loss vs. France. Meanwhile, the world champions, the Germans, opened the competition in a dominant manner with a victory over Japan.

The French unit defeated Brazil 78-66, but we need to add that the South Americans faced not just star-stacked hosts but also officials in certain moments. The third quarter was the difference maker, as Brazil managed to score just nine points, erasing everything good from the first 12 minutes.
Cristiano Felicio had 14 points and six boards, Leonardo Meindl the same, while Marcelo Huertas added 11 with five assists. Brazil’s biggest problem was Bruno Caboclo’s absence on the offensive side, with him playing 11 minutes without scoring a point or even grabbing a board.
The reigning world champions had no issues in their matchup against Japan, 97-77. The first 20 minutes were kind of interesting, but Germany shifted into a higher heart in the second half, outscoring Hapan 45-33. They had a very good shooting percentage, 53.5%, while Japan made 36.4% of their field goal attempts.
Franz Wagner had 22 points and six boards, while Daniel Theis added 18 with seven boards, being perfect from the field, hitting all of his seven shots. Mo Wagner scored 15 and five boards, while Dennis Schroder delivered 13 and 12 assists.

The German team troubled the US unit during the test period, and they really look solid in recent times. We do respect Brazil, but overall, we strongly believe they don’t have the quality to beat the world champions.
