The Würzburg go into the game with the psychological baggage of three serious injuries and three defeats in a row. However, the team of head coach Denis Wucherer demonstrated in the 70:74 defeat against FC Bayern that it is willing to compensate for the lack of personnel with an unrestrained fighting spirit.

The BG Göttingen also showed a big fighter heart in the home game against the German champions and cup winners Alba Berlin, but despite a race to catch up in the last minutes of the game, the team from the capital had to bow 75:86. Violet head coach Roel Moors had seen Rihards Lomazs, who was outstanding on the Göttingen side, little progress in his team.

“In terms of energy levels, we play a bit more consistently,” said the Belgian about his team’s recent appearances in the coup against Bamberg and in the game against Alba. “The difference between the good and the bad phases is not that big anymore, and we have a bit more stability on the defensive. It is too early to say: we play better! But we definitely move the ball better offensively and defensively. “

The underperforming captain Akeem Vargas has played his part in the fact that the defensive has improved for much of the season so far. Moors has criticized him harshly at times, now he says: “He was a disappointment for a long time, he didn’t do much offensively, but he also had defensive difficulties. However, the way he has done his defensive job in the past games was one reason for his signing. “

Mathis Mönninghoff, who seems to have found his role in Moors’ system, has undoubtedly also contributed to the good appearance of the team in the past two games. “I’m very happy with him,” said the Belgian coach. “He did a good job all season and is very hard working on defense. He knows perfectly what he can and cannot do ”- maybe a little too perfect, because Moors adds:“ He could be a bit more aggressive on the offense, but that’s just his game: He doesn’t do things that he can’t . “

This is what assistant trainer Thomas Crab says:

“Your strengths are moving away from the ball and cutting,” says BG assistant trainer Thomas Crab about the next BG opponent, see Oliver Würzburg. “It is difficult to predict where the ball will be and where the throws will come from.” Oliver recently had the title candidate FC Bayern on the verge of defeat. ““ You worked very hard defensively and always tried to pull yourself together when the ball went into the zone. They worked very hard so that Munich had a difficult game, ”Crab analyzes.

The Würzburg post-engagement Perry Jones stood against Mündchen 19 minutes on the floor. “He wasn’t involved that much yet, but his talent and athleticism will lead to a great advantage for the team,” said the Veilchen assistant coach, who made it clear about the misery of the opponent: “I don’t think they There is a risk of underestimating Würzburg. We are not in a position to underestimate any opponent. “

And then there is the Latvian newcomer Lomazs, who occasionally caused enthusiasm against Alba with his eye, his accurate throw and his technique. The interaction with Deishuan Booker was also quite harmonious. “In training,” reports Moors, “Luke Nelson also works well. But that’s no wonder, because good players always find each other. I think that we now have more creativity in the team. ”

So the BG Göttingen is going to Würzburg with optimism, even if Harper Kamp is still struggling with hip problems. “He had problems last week. I think he can play, we just have to decide how much he plays during the game, ”said Moors. Put the Würzburg home balance at 0: 7 and thereby draw level with the opponent on points? Not a hopeless undertaking …
