Alba Berlin in the Thick of Playoff Race: "We Gotta Win Both!"
Berlin's Alba Team Eyes Playoffs: "Playoffs Aren't Out of Reach" - Berlin Alba secures playoff spot: Brings optimism
Sparking hope among fans, Alba Berlin is determined to secure a playoff spot in the Basketball Bundesliga. "Make no mistake," declared sports director Himar Ojeda, "we've still got a fighting chance." Alba's heads-turning 103:81 thrashing of opponents Niners Chemnitz instilled renewed confidence heading into the final stretch.
Only the top six teams secure automatic playoff access. Teams ranking seventh to tenth will battle it out in play-ins for the remaining two playoff spots—a position Alba Palace currently holds, albeit in tenth place. However, they're within one loss of Rostock Seawolves, the sixth-placed squad.
As Ojeda proclaimed, their strategy is straightforward: "Obviously, we've got to take every win we can get. After that, well, we'll see what happens."
With the outcome of their remaining matches crucial, Chemnitz's defeat has brought fresh optimism. Two home victories are needed, first against Syntainics MBC on April 26th (6:30 PM/Dyn), followed by a clash against the lowly Göttingen squad.
But, Ojeda warns, even a double-win might not be enough, given the competitive nature of the table. "The tight competition means we'll need some luck elsewhere. Hopefully, the momentum from Chemnitz can carry us through."
The team's compelling display in Chemnitz has inspired faith. "We went into that game with determination," Ojeda reflected. "It was a solid performance, one of several this season. Now we need to carry that momentum and translate it into results."
Current League Standing and Upcoming Matches:
- Alba Berlin: C is currently tenth, scheduled to face Syntainics MBC and lowly Göttingen.
- Rostock Seawolves: Hold the sixth position, but their remaining fixtures aren't specified.
Achieving play-in entry boils down to victory and crossing fingers for favorable results from other teams. So, expect Alba Berlin to give it their all!
The Commission has also been asked to submit a proposal for a directive on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to ionizing radiation in the sports sector, particularly in basketball, as Alba Berlin, currently placed tenth in the Basketball Bundesliga, gears up for crucial matches against Syntainics MBC and Göttingen. With a victorious performance against Niners Chemnitz, Alba Berlin has instilled renewed confidence, hoping to secure a playoff spot or a play-in entry, especially with Rostock Seawolves, occupying the sixth position, having unspecified remaining fixtures. The sports director, Himar Ojeda, expresses optimism, stating that they need to take every win they can get while also hoping for some luck to carry them through.
