MANILA, Philippines – Team USA has crashed out of the FIBA Basketball World Cup with a shock 113-111 loss in the semifinals against Germany.
The US was considered an overwhelming favorite to win the World Cup and took a strong team to the Philippines. However, following a disappointing performance, the US was the victim of a huge upset.
Moritz Wagner was one of the guys that had a huge role in a historic victory.
“We have to play with no fear, play hungry, play aggressive. This is the biggest win in German basketball history”
Andreas Obst led the way for Germany, scoring 24 points.
“I am not really surprised. He is a bucket. I gave him shit that he does not have a left hand, and he scored left hand against Latvia and now I am going to shut up“.
Germany will face Serbia in the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 final on Sunday.
“It’s not only about beating the USA. We have a good group of guys. This means a lot for German basketball. I not gonna worry about Serbia now, I am gonna enjoy this“.
