Berlin Alba triumphs over Rostock in the contest
Alba Berlin, the German basketball powerhouse, is gearing up for their next test game, scheduled for next Saturday against Syntainics MBC. This upcoming encounter will provide an opportunity for the team to bounce back after suffering two heavy defeats in Spain the previous weekend, against Unicaja Malaga and Real Madrid.
Before their Spanish sojourn, Alba Berlin had secured victories against Bundesliga rivals Veolia Towers Hamburg and Löwen Braunschweig. The team's recent form, however, has been a mixed bag, with the losses in Spain following a convincing 96:76 (45:34) victory against Rostock Seawolves in a test game.
Meanwhile, Alba's women's team has been in fine form, winning their second test game against Bundesliga rivals TK Hannover Luchse with a score of 76:60. The women's team's success was spearheaded by Boogie Ellis, who was the top scorer for Alba Berlin with 14 points.
In addition to Boogie Ellis, two young prospects have joined the Alba Berlin squad for the test game. One of the new additions is Martin Hermannsson, who made his debut for the team. Hermannsson, the team's captain, previously represented the Icelandic national team at the European Championship. In his first game for Alba Berlin, Hermannsson was the second-highest scorer with 13 points.
The coach of Syntainics MBC, who will play the next test match against Alba Berlin, is Marco Ramondino. With both teams eager to claim victory, the upcoming game promises to be an exciting encounter. Alba Berlin will start the new season on October 3 with a home game against promoted Gladiators Trier. The game will take place at the Berlin Sommering Hall, where both the men's and women's teams will aim to continue their winning ways.
