Germany head coach Gordie Herbert was hardly worried about the shooting struggles of main man Dennis Schroder in their pulsating 81-79 victory over Latvia in the quarterfinals of the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup.
He was also tasked to deliver the killer blow to the hard-fighting Latvians but he missed the floater that could have given Germany a four-point cushion in the waning seconds of the contest. “We won. It wasn't pretty, a little bit of a stinker on the offensive end. I have no doubt will bounce back,” said Herbert on Schroder’s rare struggle.
Leading the offense for Germany with 18 points per outing, Schroder said his performance was probably the worst of his career but found consolation in the victory that enabled the Germans to advance to the semifinals against the USA.“That’s probably the worst game I ever played in my career, but I mean, we’re still in the semifinals,” said Schroder.
