Ist Alba tatsächlich auf dem Weg in die BBL-Playoffs? Ein Sieg im vorletzten Spiel gegen den MBC (Mittwoch/ 18.30 Uhr) und der Vize-Meister hätte zumindest die Playins sicher.
Alba (16-14) ist Zehnter, der MBC (15-13) Neunter. Um auch im direkten Vergleich vor dem Weißenfelsern zu stehen, brauchen die Berliner einen deutlichen Sieg. Denn das Hinspiel ging mit 76:94 an den Pokalsieger.
„Das ist ein Fehler!“: Darf dieser Wurf zum Bayern-Sieg überhaupt zählen?
Einer, den an der überraschenden Pleite im Dezember keine Schuld trifft, ist Matt Thomas (30), mit 14,5 Punkten pro Spiel Albas bester Schütze.
Vorm MBC-Spiel: Albas Scharfschütze Matt Thomas mit überraschendem Geständnis
Die Formel ist ganz einfach: Trifft Thomas, siegt Alba: Bei den letzten fünf Siegen versenkte er 62 Prozent seiner Dreier, traf 20 von 35 Würfen. Sein Erfolgsrezept: Nicht nachdenken. „Ich denke nicht, wenn ich schieße. Das hilft“, so Thomas im Gespräch mit SPORTBILD.
[–>Dass die Weißenfelser eine richtig starke BBL-Saison, inklusive Pokalsieg, spielt, hat Thomas natürlich auch registriert. Ist ihm aber relativ egal. „Wir sollten uns mehr Gedanken über uns machen, nicht über den Gegner“, so seine pragmatische Einstellung vor dem Spiel in der Uber Arena.

Denn eine Niederlage, wie vor einer Woche in Würzburg, können sich die Berliner zwei Tage vor Ende der Hauptrunde nicht mehr leisten. Bei den Unterfranken traf Alba nur knapp 55 Prozent seiner Freiwürfe, also schlechter als Thomas Dreier trifft. „Freiwürfe sind extrem mental. Und natürlich ist es schwer, Spiele zu gewinnen, wenn man 12 Freiwürfe nicht trifft“, so Thomas über die Pleite in Würzburg.

Der Amerikaner, der insgesamt 139 Spiele in der NBA für Toronto, Utah und Chicago absolvierte, hat schon früh Gefallen an den Distanzwürfen gefunden. „Ich war mein ganzes Leben ein guter Schütze, bereits in der Highschool“, erzählt Thomas, der auch sehr gut Golf spielt (Handicap 8). „Im College habe ich mein Handwerk perfektioniert.“

Renato Paiva explica status de Savarino e Barboza, substituídos com dores em goleada do Botafogo
Apesar da boa exibição coletiva da equipe e da goleada conquistada por 4 a 0 contra o Capital-DF que encaminhou a vaga do alvinegro nas oitavas de final da Copa do Brasil, o Botafogo ainda saiu do gramado do Nilton Santos com duas preocupações: as lesões de Barboza e Savarino. Titular absoluta do time de Renato Paiva, a dupla precisou ser substituída ao longo da partida por conta de problemas médicos. Como está suspenso para a próxima partida do Campeonato Brasileiro, contra o Bahia, Barboza começou o jogo entre os titulares. De acordo com Paiva, a programação era de que o defensor atuasse durante apenas 45 minutos. No entanto, o argentino precisou ser substituído aos 35 da primeira etapa após sofrer um pisão no pé esquerdo de atleta do Capital. Na volta do Botafogo para o intervalo, Barboza andava com […]
Aaron Rodgers tests the Steelers’ patience, and now one of their legends is seriously ticked off
The Pittsburgh Steelers' quarterback saga has NFL fans on edge as the 2025 season approaches, and Steelers legend Ben Roethlisberger is stirring the pot with his latest comments about Aaron Rodgers. On the April 29 episode of his podcast Footbahlin with Ben Roethlisberger, the two-time Super Bowl champion expressed doubts about Rodgers signing with Pittsburgh, despite the persistent rumors linking the four-time MVP to the team. "I don't know what that looks like, to be honest with you. I truly don't. At some point, you have to say, 'What's best for our team is to just probably move on.' And that might sound crazy because it's Aaron Rodgers, but at some point you start to question, 'Does Aaron really want to play?'", Big Ben said.Unexpected!

Three reasons why Inter can beat Barcelona and advance to the Champions League final
Getty Images BARCELONA -- If Inter wanted to have a chance to qualify for their second UEFA Champions League final in the last three seasons, they needed to contain FC Barcelona and Spanish wonderkid Lamine Yamal in the first leg at the Estadio Lluis Companys. If the second one was quite difficult to make happen, we can't say the Nerazzurri haven't done their best to bring a 3-3 draw back to Milan ahead of the second leg semifinal that will take place on Tuesday (live on Paramount+). Simone Inzaghi's Inter showed, once again, why they shouldn't be underestimated and why they are still a strong candidate to win, despite a disappointing recent form that led them to lose the lead of the Serie A standings after losing two Serie A matches in a row. It won't be easy, but Inter […]
