The bottom team has only won three of its last twelve meetings, but recently celebrated a 90:87 win after extra time in Frankfurt during the debut of new Spanish head coach Ramon Diaz. jump ball in the Braunschweig Volkswagen Halle is on Ash Wednesday, February 14th, at 6:30 p.m. The encounter will be broadcast live on Dyn for subscribers as usual from 6:15 p.m., with Richie Bielau as the commentator.
A Würzburg away game in the Volkswagen Halle – wasn’t there something? That’s right, on May 29th last year: In the fifth and decisive game of the quarterfinals, Hannes Steinbach hit a three-pointer two seconds before the end to make it 77:77, and the Baskets moved into the semifinals of the German championship for the second time in a row with a 97:88 win after extra time.
Previously, the game on the 34th BBL match day and the first two away games of the quarter-finals in Braunschweig each went to the hosts with a double-digit lead, who have won twelve of sixteen BBL home games against the Fitness First Würzburg Baskets.
The task on the Braunschweig floor is not made any easier by the fact that the bottom of the league will have gained a lot of self-confidence after the coaching change with the Skyliners’ first win of the calendar year. The Lions made up a thirteen-point deficit in Frankfurt in the last seven minutes and showed a unified team performance, with six players scoring double-digit points.
Before hiring head coach Ramon Diaz, the Basketball Lions had already strengthened the player squad twice. The new Canadian-British center Oluwasimisola “Simi” Shittu, whom Marcus Carr and David Muenkat already know from the Canadian CEBL, came from Slovenia and is currently averaging 15.8 points and 9.8 rebounds in his first seven games.The 2.08 meter man played for Promitheas Patras in the Basketball Champions League last season and had a total of 16 points and 11 rebounds in the two games against the Baskets.
New signing number two is the experienced canadian national player Kaza Kajami-Keane, who was not really happy as captain of the Niners Chemnitz in the current season and moved to Braunschweig at the beginning of February. In his first three games for the Lions, the 32-year-old playmaker is averaging 14.7 points, hitting 43.8% of his three-pointers, and handing out 3.3 assists.
The Baskets on the Braunschweig side are well known from the first leg, including David NGuessan (13.2 points/6.2 rebounds) and Grant Sherfield (14.3 points/3.6 assists). With Luka Scuka, Barra Njie and ex-Würzburg player Joshua Obiesie, three other Lions players are scratching the ten-point mark per game when it comes to scoring.However, Obiesie was not part of the Braunschweig squad in Frankfurt.
