Despite the good performance, Alba does not want to see the Fenerbahce win as a turnaround for the better.
But there are positive approaches.
Newcomer Oscar da Silva turns out to be more and more a stroke of luck.
Berlin - Alba manager Marco Baldi, the Berlin structure is still too fragile.
He did not want to see the surprising 84:70 win on Tuesday evening against Fenerbahce Istanbul after a moderate start to the season as a big breakout.
"At the moment everything is on a fine line. It does not come from a certainty or conviction, it comes from the will," he said.
“It will take a long time before we have stability and conviction,” added Baldi.
Already on Thursday at home in the Euroleague against the Spanish team from Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz (8 p.m. / Magentasport).
For Berliners who have been weakened as a replacement, this will also become a question of strength.
“We know what it cost against Fenerbahce.
That was a very complex game, ”said Baldi.
The Basques are a playoff candidate for him.
“They have a lot of quality.
And they are just able to bring in the players that we can't keep, ”said Baldi.
At Baskonia, three former Berliners play in Rokas Giedraitis, Simone Fontecchio and Jayson Granger.
At least Alba is spared the stress of travel during the week.
"It's always better to sleep in your own bed," said Captain Luke Sikma.
Alba took a step forward against Fenerbahce.
What did not succeed in the games before, worked with the first Euroleague victory.
“Then there is such a tailwind and trust and suddenly you grow with a story like that.
That is the potential we have, ”said Baldi.
So they hope that the uncertainty - especially the newcomers - will slowly resolve.
"It helps these players in particular to see what is possible," said the Alba manager.

Oscar da Silva, who signed up just two weeks ago, turns out to be more and more a stroke of luck.
The German-Brazilian doesn't seem to need any time to get used to.
“He looks so solid inside and he puts zero pressure on himself.
He has far fewer problems than those who put themselves under pressure, ”said Baldi, who wanted to bring the 23-year-old to Berlin before he went to college in the USA.
Even if everything does not work out yet, da Silva is already well integrated.
It was only the fourth game for him in the Alba jersey.
Against Fenerbahce he was the top scorer of Berlin with 22 points.
“I feel better from game to game.
I see every game as a new opportunity to get better, ”he said.
“That things are going like this for him now is of course crazy.
This is a player who fully fits in here.
He's got quality and he's ready to work on it, ”Baldi praised him.
For the Alba manager, he makes good use of the gap created by injuries in the center position.
"You can see how thirsty we are for great players and what kind of need we have," he said.
