Fünf ist Trümpf!
Die FIT/One Würzburg Baskets gewinnen Spiel vier in den Viertelfinal-Play-offs der Easycredit Basketball-Bundesliga mit 79:72 gegen die Löwen Braunschweig, gleichen zum 2:2 aus und erzwingen so ein fünftes Spiel in der Best-of-Five-Serie am Donnerstag um 15 Uhr (Dyn live). Auf den Sieger wartet Ulm im Halbfinale.
Wahnsinn: Die letzten acht Duelle der beiden Teams hat immer die Heim-Mannschaft gewonnen. Diese Serie müssen die Würzburger jetzt brechen, sonst sind sie raus!
[–>Überraschendes Geständnis zu Beginn des zweiten Viertels. Auf dem Parkett diskutieren die Schiedsrichter eine Flopping-Szene (Schwalbe im Basketball).
Dyn-Kommentator und Ex-Bundesliga-Coach Stefan Koch wendet sich an Akeem Vargas, den Star von Pokalsieger Syntainics MBC, der als Experte neben ihm das Spiel begleitet.
Koch: „Wie viele Warnings für Flopping hast du in deiner Karriere bekommen?“
Der 35-jährige BBL-Veteran Vargas lacht: „Zu viele!“
Koch hakt nach: „Zu viele ungerechtfertigte oder insgesamt zu viele?“
Vargas: „Ah, das kommt, glaube ich, auch auf die Spielsituation an. Ich glaube, einige waren da schon geschunden und einige gehen auch absolut in Ordnung.“
Bei Play-off-Krimi: Schwalben-Geständnis von Basketball-Star
Spannendste Personalie im Spiel: Würzburg-Star und MVP Jhivvan Jackson geht mit einer Rippenverletzung ins Spiel. Schon vor dem Spiel gibt es dazu erfrischend ehrliche Worte von Vargas im Gespräch mit Moderator Florian von Stackelberg.
Frage von von Stackelberg: „Wie macht man das als Gegenspieler? Es sind Play-offs und dann sagt man: Wir testen sich mal an, Junge! Oder nimmt man den schon ein bisschen in Schutz, weil man sagt, ist halt unfair, wenn man da irgendwie noch mal draufgeht?“
Vargas total offen: „Da hast du jetzt natürlich den richtigen Gesprächspartner. Ich weiß, was ich machen würde. Ich würde sie testen, ich würde direkt draufgehen. Ich glaube, dass du in so einer Play-off-Serie, die wirklich auf des Messers Schneide steht, Jackson versuchen musst, rauszunehmen so gut es geht. Eben auch mit der ein oder anderen Nickeligkeit. Er zeigt Schwäche in dem Fall und die würde ich attackieren.“
„Ich habe keinen Bock …“: Basketball-Star gibt 22-Sekunden-Interview
2. Minute: Jackson stellt sich in der Defense mit seinem Körper in den Weg. Ohne Rücksicht auf Verluste! Vargas: „Zeigt seinen Charakter!“
Mit 28:21 gewinnt Würzburg das erste Viertel und verteidigt die Führung auch bis zur Pause (44:34). Es bleibt weiter eng, die Löwen lassen sich nicht abschütteln!
Aufreger kurz vor Schluss: Würzburgs Jackson wirft Barra Njie den Ball aus kurzer Distanz nach einem Foul-Pfiff wütend an den Kopf. Die Schiris besprechen die Szene. Technisches Foul!
Kurz vor Ende ist Braunschweig noch mal ganz nah dran, kann das Ding aber nicht mehr drehen. Würzburg siegt verdient und verdient sich so Spiel fünf!

‘Game over’: How Connor McDavid rescued the Oilers with one of his best-ever moments
DALLAS – The Edmonton Oilers were getting caved in, with their three-goal lead down to one and on the verge of evaporating completely as the Dallas Stars made a frenetic push in the second period. Like a sweater with a loose thread, the Oilers seemed as though they could unravel at any moment.All it took was for the puck to careen to center ice, into the hands of perhaps the fastest and most electrifying player the sport has ever seen, to swing momentum back in the Oilers’ favor.AdvertisementEnter Connor McDavid. He turned the tide for the Oilers on Thursday by scoring a scintillating goal that stood as the winner in a 6-3 victory to close out the Western Conference final in five games.

Shields promoter insists Marshall the reason rematch ‘may not happen’
Savannah Marshall is responsible for jeopardising a potential rematch with Claressa Shields, insists promoter Dmitry Salita.Marshall told Sky Sports: "I'm starting to come to terms with maybe it's never going to happen through her not wanting it." But Salita, who represents Shields, a two-time Olympic gold medallist and multi-weight world professional world champion, blamed Marshall for the failure to make a second fight between the two rivals."Claressa flew thousands of miles to the UK and decisively beat Savannah in her own backyard. Since then, we've offered Savannah significantly more money than she earned the first time for a rematch this year," Salita told Sky Sports."The only reason the rematch 'may never happen' is 100 percent on Savannah." He added: "Claressa Shields has nothing left to prove. She is the 'GWOAT' - the greatest woman boxer of all time - and […]
