This was evident in the first half of the game, which the Germans exploited, primarily with good long-range shooting, to take a 9:3 lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Dejan Majstorovi\u0107, Nemanja Bara\u0107, Marko Brankovi\u0107, and Strahinja Stoja\u010di\u0107 did not give up without a fight. They tightened their defense and managed to tie the game at 11:11 with three minutes left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next minute didn&#8217;t go well for Serbia. The Germans made a 4-1 run and led 15:12 two minutes before the end. Serbia responded again. However, Serbia tied the game again at 15:15, leading to an extremely exciting final minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then Dejan Majstorovi\u0107 stepped up. First, he hit a two-pointer for 17:15 with 30 seconds left, and then from the free-throw line, he sealed the final score of 21:16 for another world medal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">MORE TOPICS:<\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/column-kovacevic-about-students-and-those-who-would-like-the-same-as-them-only-they-dont-know-how-so-then-they-get-angry\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">COLUMN, KOVA\u010cEVI\u0106: About students and those who would like the same as them, only they don\u2019t know how, so then they get angry\u2026<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/vucic-threatens-students-the-prosecution-should-not-play-naive-but-launch-an-investigation-into-the-call-for-civil-conflicts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">VU\u010cI\u0106 THREATENS STUDENTS: \u201cThe prosecution should not play naive, but launch an investigation into the call for civil conflicts\u201d!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/dacic-published-data-77-demonstrators-arrested-48-police-officers-injured\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">DA\u010cI\u0106 PUBLISHED DATA: 77 demonstrators arrested, 48 police officers injured!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/ukraine-trembled-from-bombs-russians-launched-the-biggest-attack-so-far-shot-down-ukrainian-f-16-and-targeted-547-objects-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">UKRAINE TREMBLED FROM BOMBS: Russians launched the biggest attack so far, shot down Ukrainian F-16 and targeted 547 objects!
