The EM turns into the home stretch and Germany’s basketball players are still there. Only one game separates the team around NBA star Dennis Schröder from the final on Sunday. In the semifinals on Friday at 8:30 p.m., the first thing to do is beat world champions Spain.
For the first time in 17 years, the German basketball players are fighting for a medal. The interest in the game is correspondingly high. Due to the good odds, RTL shows the game on free TV. Transmission starts at 8:15 p.m., kick-off is 15 minutes later at 8:30 p.m. The match will be commented on by Frank Buschmann. Laura Papendick should take over the moderation again.
If you can’t or don’t want to watch the game on TV, you can watch it live on RTL * and Magenta Sport. Start on RTL is like on the TV station at 8:15 p.m.
Magenta Sport*, on the other hand, starts with preliminary reports at 8 p.m. The reporting there will be moderated by Jan Lüdeke, while Sebastian Ulrich and Denis Wucherer will comment on the game live from the Mercedes-Benz Arena Berlin.
After the elimination of the superstars Luka Doncic, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Nikola Jokic, the German team has a unique opportunity to crown the exciting days of the European Championships at home with the title in Berlin. “We expected to get this far, but our mission is not over yet,” said national coach Gordon Herbert ahead of the semifinals against world champions Spain.
The hype surrounding Friday’s game is huge by basketball standards. More than two million viewers on free TV, full halls and an unexpected boom: Basketball Germany is in a kind of emergency before the biggest game in 17 years.
