Alba aims for Top Four: "Have rich cup history" - Martin Hermannsson fuels Alba Berlin’s seven-game winning streak in BBL Cup
Alba Berlin, the reigning German Cup champions, are on a seven-game winning streak. This success is partly due to the exceptional form of their most experienced player, Martin Hermannsson. The Icelandic forward attributes his good shape to a more manageable schedule this season.
Hermannsson, a leader in Alba Berlin's young squad, has been instrumental in their recent success. He has been pain-free this season and feels fantastic, orchestrating plays and contributing offensively. The 33-year-old sees himself as a leader like Luke Sikma was for him during his time at Alba Berlin.
Coach Pedro Calles, who has been actively guiding the team during the BBL 2022/23 season, has praised Hermannsson's performance. A routine schedule and less travel have contributed to Hermannsson's freshness, allowing him to maintain his good form throughout the season. With Hermannsson driving the team forward, Alba Berlin aims to secure a spot in the BBL Cup's Top Four against Science City Jena.
Alba Berlin's rich history in the German Cup, most recently winning it in 2022, is a testament to their ability to perform at the highest level. With Martin Hermannsson thriving and the team on a winning streak, they are well-positioned to continue their success in the BBL Cup and beyond.
