The Basketball Bundesliga changed the tip-off time for the game of the BG Göttingen at ratiopharm ulm on Thursday. The game will now start an hour earlier than originally planned, i.e. at 6 p.m., in the ratiopharm arena. The reason for this is the live broadcast on Sport1’s free TV.

“Ulm has a deeply filled squad in which every player can make a difference,” says BG assistant coach Olivier Foucart. “They are used to playing two games a week – unlike us.”

The most efficient Ulm is the Brazilian center Cristiano Felicio. On average, the 122-pound ex-NBA player has 12.2 points and 9.8 rebounds. The Big Man is the best rebounder in the league and thus has a large share in the fact that Ulm collects the most rebounds of all BBL teams per game (37.3).

The Ulm team are also top with the converted free throws (16.3 per game) and the hits from the two-point range (22.2 per game). “Ulm is very dangerous when switching from defense to attack and pulls aggressively towards the basket “Says Foucart. “We have to know the strengths of the individual players and try to take them away from them. However, for us it is primarily a matter of recovering physically, but above all mentally, from the difficult game in Würzburg. “

The EuroCup participant from Baden-Wuerttemberg started the season after a change in the squad. “They have so many different game systems that it is impossible to prepare everything,” analyzes Foucart. “By taking part in the European competition, they quickly become better and better.”

Meanwhile, the catch-up date for the duel of the violets at the Niners Chemnitz, which was canceled before Christmas, was announced by the league. The game will now be played on Wednesday, January 12th, at 8.30 p.m. in the Chemnitz Exhibition Center.
