Dover the power, the German team achieved an achievement that has never been achieved in the European Championship since Nowitzki in 2005
After Dennis Schroeder and Franz Wagner, Germany reached the European Championship final for the first time since Dirk Nowitzki in 2005.
This is the first time that Germany has returned to the European Championship final since the team led by Dirk Nowitzki in 2005. In the semifinals, Franz Wagner showed star-like calm, leading the team across the finish line and locking a seat in Sunday's championship battle. Meanwhile, experienced captain Dennis Schroeder also provides stability on both sides of the offense and defense. The two teamed up to bring the German team to a level that had never been reached in 20 years.
The meaning of this moment cannot be overstated. After all, Dirk Nowitzki's performance in 2005 was still legendary, and he almost led the German team to win the silver medal alone. Since then, the national team has gone through years of reconstruction and the painful departure of the players. Today, Franz Wagner represents a new generation of players who have the ability to create his own legend. Especially under the pressure of his top opponents, his scoring ability and calm performance have created a historic night for German fans.
Dennis Schroeder deserves the same praise. His leadership has always been the cornerstone of the team, providing Germany with a stable offensive firepower. Whenever the offense slows down, Schroeder can control the pace and create opportunities for his teammates. In fact, his partner with Wagner symbolizes the integration of the German team's experience and youthful power. Ultimately, this combination brings the team the opportunity to win gold.
Looking forward, Germany is now waiting for the winner of Greece against Turkey. Although both potential opponents pose serious challenges, there is no doubt about the confidence in the German locker room. The team knows that the finals are not easy, but their current momentum is based on resilience and tacit understanding.
From a broader perspective, this achievement connects the two eras of German basketball. Dirk Nowitzki was once a symbol of hope, leading the German team to glory. Today, Franz Wagner and Dennis Schroeder are making sure that the team is no longer just stuck in the past. As long as you win another game, the German team can turn the breakthrough into a championship and bridge the 20-year gap with a brilliant ending.
