The personnel situation at the violets has not changed: center Harper Kamp will have to take a break again with muscular problems in the thigh/hip area, Harald Frey, who delivered a great game against the Skyliners in pain after twisting his ankle in training, should be ready for action. “We have to continue to monitor the situation,” says head coach Roel Moors.
New signing Nate Grimes, who has to represent Kamp again, did better in the second BBL game in Frankfurt than in the debut – Moors agrees: “There is still a lot of work to do, but he is making steps. He still has to learn to be aggressive even with a simple layup because there are always one or two people in the BBL who are ready to block the shot,” the Belgian alludes to a scene in the first quarter of the Skyliners game.
With Bayreuth, a team is now appearing in the S-Arena that is currently suffering from many corona and injury-related absences and has only played with eight players in the past two games. “Of course we are preparing for different scenarios,” says Moors assistant Olivier Foucart.
“We have to wait and see which team they play with,” adds Moors and warns his team: “That’s why we have to focus even more on our game so that we don’t need 20 minutes to get there like we did in the last two games.” because the violets want to take revenge for the 72:75 defeat in the first leg. Tickets for the game are still available at the box office at the S-Arena on Saturday from 4.30 p.m.
