It was the third consecutive loss. “This time it was not our ball losses that cost us the game, but the sloppy and weak defense, although it is actually one of the strongest in the league,” said Samet Yilmaz, player and head of the basketball department of the SC Bayer 05. Uerdingen. “Three weeks ago we set ourselves the goal of winning these three games and wintering in first or second place. We must now realize with disillusionment that we are not yet ready for such a task. We will use the break to analyze what we urgently need to do better and come up with an action plan on how we want to approach the second half of the season.” The action plan will also be drafted in view of the new season. Yilmaz sees a problem mentality in his team, the tight games are given out of hand. The balance could have been even worse, after all, the points for the sporting defeat at Maccabi Düsseldorf were awarded to the green table. Hard to imagine if you were there with a balance negative.
