The United States Loses to Germany and is Eliminated From the Basketball World Cup Semifinals... The Final is Germany vs Serbia




The U.S. men's basketball team, which prides itself on being 'the best in the world', was eliminated in the semifinals of the World Cup.

The United States, which was eliminated in the quarterfinals in the previous tournament, the 2019 World Cup, failed to advance to the finals for two consecutive tournaments.

In the U.S.'s ensuing attack, Michal Bridges' (Brooklyn) shot attempt was blocked, and Germany ran away with a 6-point lead thanks to Dennis Schröder's (Toronto) stepback jumper 40 seconds before the end.


For Germany, Obst, who plays in Europe, scored 24 points, and NBA players Franz Wagner (Orlando) had 22 points, Daniel Theis (Indiana) had 21 points, and Schroeder had 17 points.

The final of this competition will be held on the 10th with Germany and Serbia (6th place) facing each other.

Germany's previous best performance in the Basketball World Cup was 3rd place in the 2002 tournament.
