After the success over Greece, the German national basketball team now wants to reach the European Championship final in Berlin. In the semi-finals, they face world champions Spain. The game will be broadcast again on free TV.
Contrary to the previous expectations of many experts, the German national basketball team is playing an extremely successful European championship. After the quarter-final victory over Greece and superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo, the semi-final against Spain is on Friday evening at 8:30 p.m. The duel against the reigning world champion will be broadcast live by RTL from Berlin’s Mercedes-Benz Arena – on TV.
After the surprising exit of the NBA superstars Luka Doncic, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Nikola Jokic, the German team has the unique opportunity to crown the European Championship at home with the title. For that, however, the semifinals against Spain must first be won. Despite the World Cup title, Germany is the slight favorite in the duel. Compared to 2019, the Spanish squad is significantly weaker. Top performers like Pau Gasol or Juan Carlos Navarro are no longer there.
RTL also shows the last German game of the basketball championship
The hype surrounding German basketball is particularly great this year. More than two million viewers watched the game against Greece on free TV. That’s why RTL has now decided to show the last German game at the European Championships in addition to the semifinals. Depending on the outcome of the game on Friday, either the final on Sunday or the match for third place.
The RTL broadcasts are made possible by a sublicense agreement with the rights holder MagentaSport. Telekom’s online offer shows the German games of the European Basketball Championship online and freely accessible. Here you can also see the second semi-final between France and Poland on Friday afternoon.
Commentator Frank Buschmann, Nowitzki as an expert
The free TV broadcaster RTL will be broadcasting with the same staff as in the transmission of the quarter-finals. Laura Papendick will moderate the program. Basketball superstar Dirk Nowitzki is at her side as an expert and guest.
The match will be commented on again by Frank Buschmann. He is supported by record international Patrick Femerling. Nowitzki and Femerling had won the last German EM medal together in 2005. At that time it was enough for silver. The foundation stone for the next success is to be laid on Friday.
