Alba Berlin Army Charges Towards the Playoffs: "Let's Do This!"
- Alba aims for a direct path to the playoffs.
Gotta leave no Doubts, Alba Berlin's got a mission. Taking on BG Göttingen (18:30 CET) on Thursday, their eyes are set on tasting victory. "We gotta win this clash to stamp our claim on that all-important spot. And let's be clear; we wanna head into the playoffs with heads held high," says Coach Pedro Calles.
Alba's been climbing the ranks like a boss recently, snagging the sixth spot - the last playoff place. The teams are neck-and-neck, and most of their competition have played only one game less than Alba. "We're leading, let's see where we are then," National player Malte Delow announces.
Gotta Secure the Bag
It's got repercussions. If things take a turn for the worst, Alba could end up fighting for their place in the playoffs next week. But they're shooting for the stars - securing the fourth place, which would grant them a direct ticket to the playoffs and home advantage in the quarterfinals. "Oh, we'd love to skip the play-ins and get a head start on our opponents. It gives us more time to work out our strategy," says Delow.
In their last game, Alba's aiming to Keep It Rolling. The team dynamics are falling neatly into place, with players finding their groove and no longer having to step out of their comfort zones.
"More practice leads to better performance. And practice does make perfect," says Delow. "We've upped our game in the last few weeks, and we're going into the season's end with swagger!"
