BBasketball Bundesliga club Veolia Towers Hamburg can again plan with James Woodard in their EuroCup game against Slask Wroclaw on Tuesday (7:30 p.m.). The US professional had to sit out a few days due to gastrointestinal problems, but took part in training again on Monday.
The Hanseatic League had already measured themselves against Poland’s champions in a test match two months ago. At that time the game ended after 40 minutes 100:100. Both coaches had then decided against an extension. However, Korner assumes that this time it will not be a “high scoring game”. “An attractive game can be expected in any case. The game is particularly important for Wroclaw to find their way into the competition. It’s very important for us to secure a very important home win in a very tight group in the fight for the playoff spots,” said the Austrian.
The Hanseatic League has one win and one defeat in Group B so far, while the guests have lost both of their games. In the Polish league, however, Wroclaw won all five games, so the Towers are warned. “They play very physically and have good size in all positions. In Martin they have a very dominant guard and very well-trained Polish players,” admitted Korner.
