THE GERMAN DEBUT:

After qualifying by eliminating the Brazilian National Team in the pre-Olympics, Germany did not have a good debut in the Olympic Games. They lost (albeit evenly) to Italy: 92 to 82. The German national team did well in the first and third periods, when they won with scores of 32-22 and 26-25, but in the other periods it was bad and ended up making the difference: 21-14 to the Italians in the 2Q and 24-10 in the last quarter. Like the Nigerians, Germany also sinned badly in the final part and ended up losing steam.

July 27, 2021 8:05 PM ET

NIGERIA'S DEBUT:

Nigeria played a very low score in the opening game and was defeated by the team from Australia. The first quarter was evenly balanced (23-23), but the second quarter ended 20-17 to the Australians. In the second half, the Oceania team also won the third and final period: 15-12 and 26-15. The Nigerians lost the lead in the end.
