Germany goes to the next round of the FIBA World Cup 2019 in China qualifiers from the 1st position in the group G, as they, again, managed to take a win against Serbia (81 – 88). The fact is that Serbia, although they lost, played very well during the whole game. Serbia was constantly up, at one moment they even had +9 points, but the Germans managed to melt down the difference during the second half. Comparing to a very focused start, when the team of Aleksandar Djordjevic was leaving it all on the court, they just couldn’t find their play in the 3rd and the last 4th quarter, what made the space for the excellent Germans to react, wake up, and show their own, very good skills. Dragan Milosavljevic brought in some amazing energy, while Boban Marjanovic added some super fun points, that put the atmosohere in Novi Sad

Right after Italy came with the tight defence to takeover the lead. No team played easy with team of Georgia, although the first star of the team, NBA champions, Zaza Pachulia was out off the roster this time as well. He was also questionable for the upcoming EuroBasket, but finally, he made all his fans in Georgia happy announcing his attendance. They showed very strong team spirit and called the ‘flight’ on the court. The passion for einning didn’t skipped over Italians either. All the spectators could tell the upcoming EuroBasket is just round the corner by shown up during the game. Very smart Italian defence opened up the road to the basket that Azzurri materialised almost every
