Halle

The defense giants of FC Bayern convince with 77:59 in Ulm. FCB needs almost the best players and the particularly strong guys under the basket. Isaac Bonga, with 18 points, 14 rebounds and purple-violet hair, the most conspicuous Munich player: “We have a lot of players who are very flexible around the basket. I don’t want to play against them either.” Over the course of the season, Ulm learned to defend himself under ex-Bayern Anton Gavel as a novice coach. “The results weren’t right, and for me as a rookie coach, that was enormous pressure. I put it on myself,” said Gavel in the MagentaSport podcast “Basketball department”: “But the support was always there and so I didn’t panic.” The Hamburgers are also improving from week to week: reached the round of 16 on April 11 against the Ukrainian representative Sloboshanske, now a strong 98:71 against a stumbling Göttinger. “We were there,” says national player Jonas Wohlfarth-Bottermann, called WoBo for short: “We have confirmed the upward trend of the last few weeks. Nevertheless, this season I’d rather be a little more sober than too euphoric.”

Below are the most important voices of the day and from the “Basketball Department” podcast – if used, please name the source MagentaSport. Tomorrow, among others, ALBA Berlin will welcome the Würzburg Baskets – from 6.45 p.m. live on MagentaSport.

ratiopharm Ulm – FC Bayern Munich 59:77

Ulm fights bravely, but in the end there is another clear victory for Munich, third. Because the particularly tall FCB boys clear everything away.

Munich’s Isaac Bonga has trimmed his hair color from blond to dark purple. There is probably a more precise label for this, Bonga was undisputedly one of the most important players that evening with 18 points and 14 rebounds: “The decisive factor was that we not only played 2 or 3 quarters with a lot of energy, but over the entire period.”

FC Bayern owes the strong performance under the basket to a number of players: “We have a lot of players who are very flexible around the basket. I don’t want to play against them either.”

Ulm’s Nicolas Bretzel was able to play again for the first time in over 4 months for 6 points and around 11 minutes of play: “Against a team like that you have to reduce your mistakes by at least 10 percent. We lacked free throws and things like that and then we will ‘It’s difficult against such an opponent. If the team is then strong, then it becomes even more difficult.”

Ulm coach Anton Gavel was a guest on the “Abteilung Basketball” podcast before the upcoming game against FC Bayern Munich and the round of 16 in the Eurocup on April 12 against Buducnost VOLI Podgorica. After the Ulm team didn’t get off to a good start at the start of the season, they are now one of the teams with the best form in the league.

Gavel on the dynamics of the Ulmer season: “It certainly wasn’t the plan to start the season like that… The results weren’t right and for me as a rookie coach it was a lot of pressure. I have it I asked myself that too… But the support was there every time and that’s why I didn’t panic. We then made a few changes and that strengthened the team. From then on it got better.”

How high the tension is before the Eurocup game against Podgorica: “It’s always high… Now everyone wants a little more and the expectations are back. It’s going to be a do-or-die game now. We’re happy on it and trying to take it lap after lap.”

BG Göttingen – Veolia Towers Hamburg 71:98

Reached the round of 16 in the EuroCup on April 11 against the Ukrainian representative Sloboshanske, in the league Hamburg are scratching the playoffs. Göttingen is actually good in the race as fifth, but after 2 defeats it is no longer safe.

Göttingen’s Harper Kamp. “Our intensity, our focus wasn’t there. In the first half we didn’t defend enough, we weren’t there. It was too easy for them.”

“That was a very important victory for us. It was important that we were there,” says Jonas Wohlfarth-Bottermann, called WoBo for short: “We have confirmed the upward trend of the last few weeks. Nevertheless, this season I’d rather be a little more sober than too euphoric.”
