Veolia Towers Off to a Strong Start in the Basketball Season

Last season, Veolia Towers fought against relegation until two match days before the end. After the retread, things are running much better. After the 86:81 (51:38) at the Syntainics MBC in Weißenfels, Hamburg’s basketball players already have six victories to their name.

For comparison: In the last ten seasons of the easyCredit BBL, an average of 9.2 wins was enough to stay in. This means: After just ten games, the towers are already 65 percent certain of staying in the league!

“I’m very happy,” said coach Benka Barloschky (35) after the win. “We have a lot of respect for what the MBC has brought to the floor in the last few games. It’s a strong team, particularly dangerous offensively.”

The Towers needed a quarter to dig their way into the game in front of 2,200 fans. Then they took control. In terms of baskets, they benefited from the fact that the MBC had to do without its injured center Martin Breunig (31). In return, Hamburg’s Aleksander Dziewa (26) stood out as the top scorer with 17 points – although he was charged with three fouls after eleven minutes following dubious decisions by the referee crew around the experienced Robert Lottermoser (47).

“We were able to massively improve our rebounding in the second quarter. That was the crucial point,” analyzed assistant coach Stefan Grasegger (33) at halftime. In addition, the Hamburg team played better as a team against the weak MBC at home (only one win in the Weißenfels town hall) (19 assists).

After the reassuring 57:40 (24th), they maintained their lead until the end, even if the MBC shot at the basket a total of 22 times more. The main reason for this was once again that the Towers lost 18 balls!

Barloschky: “Although we have control, we keep giving the opponent chances. We have to stop that.”

After the game, two Hamburg players had to take an unannounced doping test. So they started their journey home with a slight delay. The EuroCup continues on Tuesday against the Ukrainian team Prometey Slobozhanske (7.30 p.m., Magenta Sport).
