ESV Staffelsee has taken an important step towards staying up in the Bavarian Basketball League.

Murnauer defeat TSV Jahn Freising in a hard-fought game.

Freising – One thing was clear to coach Andreas Mayr even before the game in the Bavarian basketball league between TSV Jahn Freising and ESV Staffelsee kicked off: After ESV’s two opening bankruptcies in 2022 against Traunstein and Jahn Munich, success in the cathedral city would be immense important.

Not only for the points account, but above all for the realization that despite the whole issue of being able to win the forced change of coach.

Mayr was correspondingly relieved when after the final siren a 69:63 victory could be read on the scoreboard.

ESV leaves higher leadership at halftime

"It was admittedly harder than expected," summed up Mayr. "Looking at the game as a whole, it certainly wasn't a particularly good game. But thanks to an excellent team spirit, we were ultimately able to prevail.” Up to the half-time break, it looked like ESV would win by a clear margin – 40:30. "We were actually better occupied in every position and also superior in height." In addition, the hosts had to do without their two best players. Michael Babl is not vaccinated, Tim Peisker is injured. "But Freising almost made us forget this handicap with an incredible amount of effort and struggle," Mayr tipped his hat to the opponent's appearance. “Nevertheless, we played two really good first quarters. We had great finishes on the board and the game was under control.Unfortunately we left a lot behind when we finished.”

Murnau loses the ease, but fights for victory

But after the half-time break the dominance was gone and Freising's turn again.

"From then on it became a pure fight and will game." The ESV did not return to the lightness of the first half, but showed strength of will.

"We put up a great fight and really wanted to leave the field as winners." Although Mayr wanted to emphasize the team effort, he gave two players extra praise.

“Stephan Adelberger probably delivered his best game of the season.” Adelberger was extremely present under the basket and could be found everywhere, scoring 12 points.

Jan Lorbeer recorded one less.

But that is secondary for Mayr.

"He cleaned up under the baskets very well and helped us a lot with rebounds."

ESV: Beinhofer (17 points), Brugger (13), Adelberger (12), Laurel (11), Frühschütz (6), Moroff (8), Czajka (2)
