Before the World Cup, German basketball players will face the best players. National coach Gordon Herbert’s team is taking part in a high-level preparatory tournament in Abu Dhabi and will face Greek NBA star Giannis Antetokounmpo on August 19 and the United States’ favorite champion a day later.
ABU DHABI – “It’s two great friendlies. Both teams are an extraordinary ‘measuring stick’ for us,” said national team coach Herbert. For the World Cup, it is very important “that we play against two very good teams in the United States and Greece”.
A week ago, the traditional Super Cup for NBA star Dennis Schroeder & Co. will take place in Hamburg, where Canada, New Zealand and China will participate in addition to the DBB election.
The world championships will take place from August 25 to September 10 in the Philippines, Japan and Indonesia. Germany qualified for the World Cup as group winners. The draw will take place on April 29. dpa
