Donnerstag beginnt für die Frauen-Nationalmannschaft die Basketball-EM in Hamburg. In der viertägigen Vorrunde geht es gegen Spanien, Großbritannien und zum Auftakt gegen Schweden.
Das deutsche Minimalziel: Vorrunde überstehen, um danach in der Finalrunde in Piräus dabei zu sein.
Model-Show von Basketball-Star: Dieser Diva-Auftritt geht nach hinten los!
Erstmals bei einem großen Turnier nicht mehr dabei: die langjährige Kapitänin Svenja Brunckhorst (33). Die Olympia-Gold-Gewinnerin im 3×3 kennt das Team von Bundestrainerin Lisa Thomaidis natürlich sehr gut.
Doch die Kanadierin hat eine schwere EM-Aufgabe vor sich: Mit dem Verlust von Marie Gülich und der Absage von Nyara Sabally musste sie zwei große Rückschläge verkraften. Zuletzt gab es in der Vorbereitung zwei deutliche Niederlagen gegen Belgien.
Bundestrainerin Lisa Thomaidis kassierte zuletzt zwei heftige Pleiten gegen Belgien

„Das Team ist natürlich verändert, aber es ist immer noch sehr Qualität im Team“, glaubt Brunckhorst. „Es müssen jetzt andere Spielerinnen Verantwortung übernehmen, um die großen Lücken von Marie, Nyara und Alina zu schließen.“
[–>Dennoch glaubt sie daran, dass das Thomaidis-Team die Vorrunde überstehen wird: „Das Ziel muss sein, aus der Gruppe zu kommen. Und dann Schritt für Schritt.“
Svenja Brunckhorst stellt die wichtigsten Spielerinnen des EM-Teams vor
Alexis Peterson (29): Sie ist jetzt seit rund anderthalb Jahren dabei, ist sehr routiniert, hat viel Euroleague-Erfahrung gesammelt.
Alexandra Wilke (28): Eine ganz abgezockte Spielerin und sehr gute Dreier-Schützin. Eine gestandene Spielerin, frisch gebackene Deutsche Meisterin.

Jennifer Crowder (29): Sie ist eine wirklich smarte und schnelle Spielerin, hat dazu einen guten Drive zum Korb.
Leonie Fiebich (25): Eine absolute Maschine. Sie kann alles, offensiv wie defensiv. Eine ganz wichtige Stütze im Team.

Hulk Hogan puts death rumors to rest amid routine hospital stay
