Serie gegen Heidelberg geht weiter – Chemnitz gewinnt ersten „Eier-Test“

Article arrow_drop_down

Nein, nein, nein! Die Niners haben noch nicht fertig!

In Spiel drei der Viertelfinal-Serie (Best-of-5) gegen die MLP Academics Heidelberg wehrten die Sachsen den ersten Matchball ab. Und holten sich in der bebenden Messe mit 97:88 (59:40) den ersten Play-off-Sieg.

Kevin Yebo ist jetzt heiß auf Spiel 4, sagte bei Dyn: „Man muss dran glauben, sonst macht das gar keinen Sinn überhaupt da hinzufahren. Dann werden wir auf jeden Fall da einen Kampf haben und dann wird sich zeigen, wer die Eier in der Hose hat.“

Den ersten Eier-Test haben die Niners bestanden …

[–>Aber was war das wieder für ein Drama in der Easycredit Basketball Bundesliga? Die unberechenbaren Niners waren drauf und dran, einen 23-Punkte-Vorsprung zu verspielen.

„Jeder hat noch mal in sich selber geguckt, was noch da ist im Tank, wer das noch will“, sagte der heiser gebrüllte Yebo (20 Punkte, 5 Rebounds) hinterher bei Dyn. „Ich glaube, es gibt Spieler, die nach 0:2 schon die Ferien buchen und mit der Familie zu Hause quatschen. Deswegen einen riesen Respekt auch an uns als Team, dass wir Charakter gezeigt haben und die Saison so nicht hier beenden.“

Die Ergebnisse der ersten beiden Partien waren so knapp, wie in sonst keiner der anderen Viertelfinal-Serien. Beide Male hatten sich die Crunchtime-Könige aus Heidelberg durchgesetzt. In Chemnitz wurde schon die Kritik an einigen Leistungsträgern lauter.

Doch mit dem Rücken zur Wand waren Energie und Einsatz zurück. Yebo: „Diese Rücken-zur-Wand-Sachen – da fühle ich mich am wohlsten. Und ich glaube, wir haben auch andere Spieler, die diese Mentalität haben.“

Die Niners waren griffig, zielstrebig. Die dezimierten Akademiker begannen dagegen verhaltener als zuletzt. Durch die Ausfälle von Stars wie Osun Osunniyi (26/Knie) und Mateo Seric (26) spielte Trainer Danny Jansson (45) nur mit einer Achter-Rotation.

BBL-Viertelfinale: Niners Chemnitz wehren ersten Matchball der MLP Academics Heidelberg ab

In Spiel eins und zwei hatten die Heidelberger trotzdem unter den Körben die Duelle um die Abpraller gewonnen. Doch diesmal machten sich die Niners breit und dominierten die Bretter. Rebound-Verhältnis nach 20 Minuten: 23:5!

Im zweiten Viertel zogen die Niners davon. Angetrieben vom kochend heißen Jacob Gilyard (26), der bis zur Halbzeit 19 seiner 27 Punkte machte. „Da kommt Dampf aus den Ohren“, staunte Dyn-Kommentator Florian Pertsch.

„Wir sind überall einen Schritt zu langsam“, analysierte Heidelbergs Marcel Keßen (28) im Pausen-Interview. „Wir spielen nicht so tough wie Chemnitz. Die machen das gut – wir machen das überhaupt nicht gut.“

Nach der Pause stellte der starke Yebo mit zwei Dreiern sogar auf plus 23 (65:42)! Also alles klar? Nein! Denn Akademiker sind vor allem eins: ein verschworenes Team, das niemals aufgibt.

Nach der deutlichen Führung legten die Niners ein drittes Viertel zum Vergessen hin. Auch im Schlussabschnitt lief lange wenig. Wahnsinn: Die Gäste kamen drei Minuten vor Schluss sogar noch mal auf einen Punkt ran 86:85 (17.)! Doch dann ließ Yebo die Muskeln spielen, traf, flexte und brüllte die Anspannung raus.

Mit dieser Mentalität geht’s nun zu Spiel vier Dienstag in Heidelberg (18.30 Uhr, Dyn). Yebo: „Wir brauchen jetzt an erster Stelle Glaube.“

Heidelbergs Bester Michael Weathers (24 Punkte): „Um die Serie zu gewinnen, müssen wir das Glas (die Rebounds, d.Red.) kontrollieren. Dienstag liegt alles an uns.“

Seit 1998 schafften es in der BBL vier Teams, nach einem 0:2-Rückstand noch eine Play-off-Serie zu drehen.

Luke Fickell buyout: What it would cost Wisconsin to move on from struggling Badgers football coach

Imagn Images Luke Fickell's directionless Wisconsin tenure hit another deflating speed bump Saturday when the Badgers were blown out 37-0 at home by Iowa in the program's first home shutout since 1980. The loss dropped Fickell to 15-17 overall and 8-13 in Big Ten play with the Badgers since a successful six-year run with Cincinnati that made him one of the hottest commodities in college coaching.On Saturday night, the Badgers fell behind 20-0 as quarterback Hunter Simmons turned the ball over three times in the first half and just could never recover in the latest embarrassment for Fickell's program. Following a 2-0 start, the Badgers have dropped four straight and are 0-3 in Big Ten play with losses to Maryland, Michigan and Iowa by a combined margin of 88-20. Things won't get easier from here for Fickell, who has a long road […]

Behren Morton injury: Texas Tech quarterback ruled out of game vs. Kansas after pass rusher falls on leg

Getty Images No. 9 Texas Tech quarterback Behren Morton is out for the rest of his team's game against Kansas with an apparent lower leg injury. Morton is on Texas Tech's sideline in street clothes and backup Will Hammond handled the first snaps of the second half. Morton initially exited the game early in the second quarter after he was sacked by Kansas edge rusher Leroy Harris III. Harris landed on Morton's lower leg as he brought Morton to the ground for a three-yard loss. Prior to suffering the injury, Morton had Texas Tech's offense humming while completing seven of his 12 pass attempts for 91 yards and one touchdown as the Red Raiders jumped out to a 21-0 lead. The Red Raiders struggled the rest of the half with Morton on the bench, however, and Kansas cut the lead to 21-17 […]
