The German national team made history by defeating Team USA in the Semifinals of the 2023 FIBA World Cup, securing their place in the highly anticipated final match against Serbia, who had previously outperformed Canada.
To achieve this victory, they heavily depended on the valuable contributions of Johannes Voigtmann, who had a strong start and finished with an impressive all-around performance of 6 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists.
However, the true standout of the game was Andreas Obst, whose exceptional performance was crucial to his team’s success, as he scored 24 points, dished out 6 assists, and made 4 out of 8 three-point attempts.
“We always say Andy is the best shooter on the planet,” Voigtmann said. “He’s unbelievable, he can make a shot from everywhere with this mindset of keeping it cruel. That shot at the end was so crucial for us, and the inbound play.
“I’m so happy for him because he’s a very nice guy. An unbelievable basketball player, he fits perfectly in our team. I’m super happy for him to deliver a game like that, on this stage, in this tournament, in this semifinals.”
