All good things come in threes. The vernacular knows. But of course he has no trace of the current balance of power in the basketball Bundesliga. And that’s why it would be tantamount to a powerful sporting earthquake if the slogan for s.Oliver Würzburg came true on Tuesday evening (8.30 p.m.), when the class leader MHP Riesen Ludwigsburg visits the cathedral city.
The Baskets have already met their former player Jordan Hulls, who moved to Swabia this season, and their former coach John Patrick, who helped the Würzburg team to the semi-finals of the play-offs in 2012 and thus to their greatest success in the Bundesliga had led. Both times the Lower Franconia were defeated (67:78 in the cup competition and 72:87 in the first leg), although they had kept up quite well for a long time. The current runner-up swung to dominate the league in this round: After losing to Bayern Munich on matchday three, the Swabians won 18 games in a row before being defeated in Crailsheim for the second time in their meanwhile 23 games .
As a well-deep outsider, the twelfth (eight wins from 22 games) can go this time without any pressure to the relatively hopeless evening work according to the paper form: ?? We knew how important this game is, now that tough opponents are coming again. So this win takes some of the pressure off and we can play more freely. As a result, in my opinion, the probability is higher that we will win games ??, said Florian Koch on Saturday after the strangled 74:73 win in Giessen.

His coach blows more or less the same horn: ?? If we put ourselves under too much pressure this season, it usually backfires ??, said Denis Wucherer, who hopes that his men ?? play more freely? ? can than last. Although he of course also knows that this is a ?? very difficult mission ?? with his current squad, which has been badly decimated due to injury and therefore only partially suitable for the Bundesliga will not go completely under the wheels on Tuesday.
The ?? to bag the relegation? The Baskets don’t have to win one or two wins against Ludwigsburg or, in the near future, Ulm and Oldenburg, or Hamburg and Berlin. Göttingen, Frankfurt, Braunschweig, Chemnitz and Vechta are opponents of the collar size that matters. And it is possible that one or the other injured top performers such as captain Felix Hoffmann, playmaker Rob Lowery or Brekkott Chapman, who has been injured for the third time in Würzburg, will be ready to help out by these games from mid-April.
