Weißenfels
Im Halbfinale des Basketball-Pokals wurde Martin Breunig (33) vom Syntainics MBC zum Helden. Eine Sekunde vor Schluss sicherte der Center einen Abpraller und beförderte den Ball zum 95:93 in den Korb. Die Weißenfelser erreichten zum ersten Mal in ihrer Geschichte das Finale – und holten sich gegen Bamberg den Pott.
Breunig verpasste den Saison-Endspurt wegen einer Fingerverletzung. Dennoch wollte der MBC unbedingt mit 2,03-Meter-Hünen verlängern. Doch den Leverkusener mit thailändischen Wurzeln zieht es in die Ferne.
[–>Für seinen (voraussichtlich) letzten großen Vertrag wechselt Breuning jetzt offenbar nach Asien!
Nach Informationen von Transfer-Insider Rupert Fabig („Hamburger Abendblatt“) geht es für ihn zu den New Taipeh Kings nach Taiwan. Der Top-Klub wurde gerade in der relativ neuen Sieber-Liga TPBL Meister und qualifizierte sich dadurch für die „East Asia Super League“ – eine Art asiatische Champions League.
BBL: Syntaincs MBC: Pokal-Held Martin Breunig wechselt zu John Patrick nach Taiwan
Die sportliche Leitung bei den „Königen“ ist ein alter Bekannter: Kult-Trainer John Patrick (57).
Der dreimalige „Trainer des Jahres“ der BBL (2009, 2010, 2021) wurde Ende März bei den MHP Riesen Ludwigsburg gefeuert. Danach entschied er sich, trotz Angeboten aus seiner zweiten Heimat Japan, für das Abenteuer Taiwan. Nach Saisonende verabschiedete sich dann auch noch sein Ludwigsburger Co-Trainer Lars Masell (44) überraschend aus der Barockstadt, um dem Vernehmen nach Patrick in die 4-Mio.-Einwohner-Stadt Neu-Taipeh zu folgen.
Technik trifft Körbe: Schicken DIESE Roboter Curry und Co. auf die Bank?
Breunig folgt dabei aber nicht nur dem Ruf des Geldes. Rund um seine Einsätze für die thailändische hatte er stets betont, wie sehr ihm die dortige Mentalität zusagt, und dass er am Ende seiner Karriere gerne noch mal in Asien spielen wolle. Nun bot sich die Chance.
Patrick und Breunig kennen sich zudem aus der Saison 2016/17. Breunig hatte damals nach seiner College-Zeit an der University of Montana in Ludwigsburg seinen ersten Profi-Vertrag unterschrieben. Doch weil er sich damals auf seiner Position gegen einen gewissen Johannes Thiemann (heute 31) nicht durchsetzen konnte, wechselte der talentierte „Big“ nach Bonn.
Kurios: Weltmeister Thiemann ist mittlerweile ebenfalls in Asien gelandet. Er verlängerte diesen Sommer seinen Vertrag in Japan bei den Gunma Crane Thunders.

Cardinals HC Jonathan Gannon goes off on RB Emari Demercado after goal line blunder costs team TD
The Arizona Cardinals allowed a third win this season to slip through their finger in the most literal way in the Week 5 loss to the Tennessee Titans, 22-21.With just under 13 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter on Sunday, the Cardinals had a chance to nearly seal the game with a 76-yard run by running back Emari Demercado, which initially appeared to be a touchdown that would have put them up 27-6.

Arizona head coach Jonathan Gannon was seen on the sideline after the play going off on Demercado for the mistake.Demercado had 81 yards rushing in the game, but had that touchdown wiped away. Gannon wasted little time letting the third-year running back out of TCU know […]

LeBron James hints at big moment: The decision of all decisions
LeBron James has dropped a cryptic teaser on social media that has set the NBA world ablaze. In a video, LeBron is seated on a chair on a basketball court and, over the clip, the caption reads: "The decision of all decisions. October 7th. 12pm EST." Many interpret this as a veiled announcement of monumental significance, with fans speculating it might even signal his retirement after a storied career.Given LeBron's history, the reference to "decision" carries weight. In 2010, he made headlines with his televised special The Decision, where he announced his move from Cleveland to Miami. That moment remains one of the most polarizing in NBA history.The styling of his latest post suggests he's framing October 7 as The Second Decision - which is the text that appears on the video in the final frames - either a pivotal […]
