Broken mast and sheet, as they say in Hamburg, when ships are sent out to sea with the best of wishes. In the sports hall of the Eimsbüttelner TV, the basketball players of the WWU Baskets were bid farewell on Sunday afternoon with a crashing basket break – and then after a short tour of Hamburg at the bottom of the second basketball Bundesliga ProB unswervingly with 105: 72 (52:37), the first away win of the season head for.
Jan König put the finishing touches on
The starting grid was already in the system and online when, in the final minutes of the warm-up phase, the Plexiglas pane of the basket suspension splintered into 1000 pieces. Jan König had laid the last hand, but probably only gave the fragile frame the final fatal blow. Memories of the famous peat fall in Madrid were awakened, where on April 1st, 1998 Günther Jauch and Marcel Reif started their famous and award-winning goal dialogue at the Champions League semi-final between Real and Borussia Dortmund. “We need a fast goal,” was the message at the time, and basket hunt was now open in Hamburg. Because an intact copy was no longer to be expected, both teams quickly put their training gear back on and then moved from the Wandsbeker to the closest hall in Eimsbüttel.
Free travel for Baskets-Express
And then there was free travel ahead for the Baskets Express. From the beginning, the guests set the pace with a solid and focused performance. After section one it was 24:20, at the break the protégés of Philipp Kappenstein were already ahead with 52:39, driven by their top scorers Jasper Günther and Stefan Weß.
Distance rules always observed
The hosts did not give up without a fight, but Münster successfully tried to adhere to the usual distance rules throughout – it was no longer really tight in Hamburg on Sunday evening. On the contrary: the lead was 17 points after the third section (55:72), after the brilliant final offensive against the now resigned hosts, the Baskets were then quick with 33 points.
Philipp Kappenstein very satisfied
Philipp Kappenstein was not only satisfied with the result, but also with the decision to go through with the game instead of a 20-0 score on the green table. “I’m glad we played that – and made a statement for the top game against Cologne next week.”
Points: Günther (21/3 Dreier), Weß (21/2), Touray (15), Delpeche (12), Baues (10) Reuter (8/1), Pahnke (6/2), J. König (5 / 1), A. König (5/1), Hänig (2)
