Seawolves coach warns against relegation Bayreuth – dpa

After the two clear defeats at defending champion Alba Berlin and cup winner FC Bayern Munich, the Rostock Seawolves now expect a supposedly easy task in the basketball Bundesliga. On Sunday (3 p.m.) the team of head coach Christian Held meets Medi Bayreuth, who has already been relegated, in the penultimate home game of the season.

The coach remains true to his line despite the sporting situation of the guests: “We don’t have to manage a mental switch. It doesn’t matter to us who the opponent is. For us it is important: What is the opponent doing? And what are we going to do to stop it? The approach or approach always remains the same.”

Held assumes that the guests will be free to play after Bayreuth’s relegation has been perfect since last Wednesday’s 96:102 defeat. “The pressure is no longer on Bayreuth.” The Seawolves coach also emphasized: “Everyone who works at this level is a competitive person. Everyone wants to win games – regardless of the current situation.” The 34-year-old also referred to the recent high results in the South German games. “This shows above all their unbelievable offensive fire power.”
