Last main round match day that has it all: Chemnitz buys the last ticket for the playoffs and defeats Heidelberg with 81:74. Heidelberg missed the playoffs this year. However, a difficult task awaits Chemnitz in the quarter-finals: it is up against Primus Telekom Baskets Bonn. “Against Bonn we have to play with full energy to keep up,” said Jonas Richter. The leader of the standings narrowly wins against Ulm with 85:83, because MVP again outperforms TJ Shorts with 30 points. “The development of the team is going in the right direction,” said Coach of the Year Tuomas Ilsalo. Frankfurt is relegated again – despite an 88:82 victory in Göttingen. “I’m assuming Pro A. There will very likely be two sporting climbers. I haven’t dealt with the Wild Card issue. If you’re relegated in terms of sport, you have to work your way up again,” says manager Marco Völler, who is over “many donated games” annoyed. The weakened FC Bayern ended the main round with 2 defeats, lost 76:88 against Oldenburg and met Göttingen in the quarter-finals. “We can’t take our attitude from the last few games with us into the playoffs. We have to shift up a few gears,” complained Bayern’s Paul Zipser. FCB traveled to Oldenburg without coach Andrea Trinchieri. The playoffs start on May 14th with the game of champions ALBA Berlin against Ulm. Oldenburg vs. Ludwigsburg is the 4th quarter-final pairing.

Jonas Richter, 10 points, Chemnitz: “It’s just crazy. If someone had said 2 to 3 weeks ago that we could still make the playoffs, we would have signed it immediately. It’s all the more awesome that we won. We came out with a lot of energy and did well than We played together as a team and never gave up. We always motivated ourselves. You always have enough energy for a game like this. We felt good… Against Bonn we have to play with full energy to keep up. We will prepare for that.”

Shyron Ely, Heidelberg: “They switched well in their defense. That caused us problems. We didn’t get the quality of our throws in the second half. We have to see what we can do better next year.

The Frankfurt say goodbye with a victory. Because the MBC also wins its game and thus finally seals the relegation of Frankfurt. Göttingen moves into the playoffs and has to play Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals.
Lukas Wank, 20 points, Frankfurt: “We threw everything in and gave everything. In the end, it’s always bad if you don’t have it in your own hands. If victory isn’t enough. That’s very bitter and hurts a bit. We had a lot of injuries. The team didn’t quite come together. We didn’t play to our strengths well. It was all a bit messy.”

Marco Voeller, Manager Sport Skyliners: “The injuries weren’t the only reason. We’ve shown in the past few weeks that we can still win games. It’s difficult to judge that now. I’m thinking of a lot of games that we just gave up. Especially at the beginning of the Season. We could have made bigger steps there.”
Did the WildCard cost 700.00 euros and tear too big a hole in the budget? “I wouldn’t say so. We’ve managed to put together a reasonably competitive team. If we don’t play too badly, fewer injuries, then we have a good chance of putting up a good team. Especially this year, when there are a lot of surprises gave.” What’s next for Frankfurt? “I’m assuming Pro A. There will very likely be two sporting climbers. I haven’t dealt with the Wild Card issue. If you’re relegated in terms of sport, you have to work your way up again. We’re prepared for that.”

TJ Shorts is also a decision-maker. The opponents are a bit scared, when he has the ball. There are no second chances in the Champions League. We have to win the game. That was good training for us. We know that we have a good chance in both competitions. The developments in the team is going in the right direction.”

We still have a week to prepare and To be ready. I had the feeling in the 4th quarter that we didn’t feel like going down in Oldenburg with 20 points. Then there was a little more train. We need something like that in the playoffs. We can’t keep our attitude from the last few games in make the playoffs. We need to shift up a few gears.”
