Two of the World Cup's most efficient scorers take the floor in the next three hours, and the margin between them could easily decide how far each team advances. Frieda Buhner has been Germany's heartbeat in recent weeks — a 47.5 TIB Efficiency rating built on 14.7 points per game and the kind of floor vision (1.7 assists) that stretches defenses thin. She's the throughline between Germany's halfcourt sets and their best scoring chances. Jihyun Park enters with 46.8 efficiency and a subtly different profile: 16.7 PPG paired with 3 assists per game, suggesting a player who creates as readily as she scores. That additional playmaking burden — or opportunity — will be central to how Republic of Korea shapes their attack. Neither player will face a perfect matchup. But in a World Cup where possessions are currency, the one who imposes her efficiency on the other's rhythm may well decide the evening. Germany and Republic of Korea tip off now.
