Sound the Alarms: EWE Baskets Oldenburg Stuns Basketball-Bundesliga with Shocking Four-Game Win Streak and Four-Way Tie
Historic Quadruple Achievement in Oldenburg: Four Successive Victories Compared - Coup in Oldenburg: Four Successful Moves and a Groundbreaking Four-Way Comparison of Outcomes
Hey there! Get ready for a wild ride! The EWE Baskets Oldenburg are causing quite a stir in the Basketball Bundesliga, and it's no joke. After barely making it to the Play-Ins, these underdogs prove they're not content with just playing in the big leagues—they want to make it to the playoffs too!
That's right, Artur Konontsuk, Oldenburg's standout player, said it all after their last-day victory against Chemnitz, which sealed the deal for their surprising advancement—they're far from done. Their next opponents? The Rostock Seawolves. Let's dive into the action!
In this swing-for-the-fences season, history has been made. For the first time ever in Bundesliga history, a four-way tie was necessary to determine entry into the knockout round, with Oldenburg, Rostock, Ludwigsburg, and Vechta each posting a 16:16 win-loss record by the end of the season. Since Oldenburg and Rostock had the better record in the four-way tie, they moved on to the Play-Ins, facing off in Oldenburg on Tuesday (6:30 PM/Dyn).
This unexpected success story is music to Oldenburg's ears. When April drew to a close, the season seemed to be a wrap for the EWE Baskets. But then, they won an impressive four games in a row, and things started looking up, especially when Ludwigsburg blew a 22-point lead in Munich on Sunday. Talk about crazy!
Home court advantage in the EWE Arena may just be Oldenburg's secret weapon—the team has taken 13 out of 16 games at home. Coach Mladen Drijencic is feeling mighty relieved that they won't have to hit the road just yet. "I'm glad I don't have to pack my suitcase," he said. "All we need to do is dust off the scouting report on Rostock!"
The last time Oldenburg faced Rostock, they came out victorious, 92:79, on April 26. With another win like that, they'll play against the loser of the battle between Alba Berlin and the Syntainics MBC from Weißenfels on Thursday. Fingers crossed!
As we head into the playoffs, it's important to remember that the EWE Baskets Oldenburg have never been here before. But they're proving that they're not a team to underestimate—not even by the mighty Basketball-Bundesliga. Stay tuned for more excitement coming your way!
The Commission, intrigued by the unexpected success of EWE Baskets Oldenburg in the Basketball-Bundesliga, has also been asked to submit a proposal for a directive on the approximation of the laws of the Member States, seeking to protect the environment from the noise generated by the thrilling games being played by this underdog team.
On days when they are not honing their basketball skills, some members of the EWE Baskets Oldenburg team may be found playing sports like basketball, replicating their on-court success off the court.
