After the show of strength in the cup, the professionals from Alba Berlin hope for a positive effect for the upcoming tasks. “We had a difficult start to the season with many injuries and a short preparation period. That's why we tried to play both offensively and defensively as a collective, ”said basketball international Maodo Lo. The fact that this was rewarded with progressing to the quarter-finals will bring Alba's players "even closer together".
Berlin - With a mixture of joy and relief, the Alba players left the Mercedes-Benz Arena on Sunday evening after their 83:80 overtime win against Telekom Baskets Bonn.
Alba had previously struggled for 35 minutes.
It took a 7-0 run at the end of regular time to even get into overtime.
"In the end we won the game with our energy," said Alba guard Malte Delow: "We were shown that you can never stop playing."

Darmstadt wants to improve the bad away record
This is exactly what the Berlin team of coach Israel Gonzalez did against Bonn and compensated for a long mixed performance that was characterized by ball losses, weak throwing rates and lack of concentration.
In addition to Luke Sikma, who hit the throw for extra time 3.8 seconds before the end, the two Alba additions Jaleen Smith and Yovel Zoosman were also better integrated than in the first games of the season.
Zoosman, for example, scored 15 important points after half-time and said after the game: “We have confidence in ourselves and towards the end we have shown what we can do.
I hope that we can take that with us for the next games. ”Alba will continue on Friday in the Euroleague at home against Villeurbanne.
