The chances of staying in the league have decreased, and on Saturday TSV Jahn receives the Bayern league leader ASV Cham.
Freising - After the very bitter and unfortunate defeat against TSV Neuötting recently, the chances of the Jahn basketball players to get the Bayern League are getting smaller. It is doubtful that the turnaround should start at the home game next Saturday (6.30 p.m., Luitpoldhalle). The unbeaten leader ASV Cham is a guest.
Self-motivation, commitment and the will to win are still top. But who is at the bottom of the table sometimes lacks the necessary bit of luck. It's bewitched this season. Head coach Michael Buhl does not want to consider the reason for the defeat that the referees did not end up lucky in the defeat against Neuötting in the end. "Sure, the emotions boil up in such games," said Buhl, but you have to have a little more control over basketball. That was the case in some games before. You shouldn't be surprised if you don't always have the referees on your side. Buhl does not believe that his team will change in this regard until the end of the season. However, there is no sign of resignation. “Nothing is impossible in sports. Sometimes the craziest things happen, ”the Jahn head coach does not want to check off the game against Cham from the start.
Realistically speaking, the Freisinger on Saturday evening against the league leader are completely without chance. So far, Cham has won 17, Freising only two with 15 losses. Nevertheless, Buhl asks his team to do their utmost against the Chamer in order to at least show an attractive basketball game in front of their own fans. "We have to give one hundred percent."
For the head coach, the game against the Upper Palatinate will also be of major importance for the coming weeks, when the Freising team may still be able to prevent relegation by winning. "This game offers the opportunity to improve us a little bit further," said Buhl.
The Freisinger still have to do without the injured Jonathan Koch. Buhl himself is also not available as a player. His thumb injury from the Neuötting game turned out to be more serious. Even if Thomas Kahlert cannot train because of his studies in Mannheim, his commitment would be extremely important. "He wants to be there again," said Buhl. "We'll see whether it will work out on Saturday." Michl Babl, who has returned to the team against Neuötting, will definitely be there. He can help the team. "We just want to play a good game against Cham," said Buhl, "to make us fit when the perhaps decisive games against Schwandorf and Regensburg come up."
