Some have won all three games and have the clear goal of getting promoted to the ProA – others have clearly lost their previous three games. The conditions are clear before the Itzehoe Eagles‘ next appearance in the BARMER 2nd Basketball Bundesliga: They are clear outsiders at the Bayer Giants Leverkusen on Saturday, October 19th, 8:30 p.m.
The Eagles’ training week was different than usual, as coach Flavio Stückmann reports: “After the last defeat, we had to regroup, and we took a little time for that.” Potential new additions presented themselves in the tryout, in this one The game against Leverkusen suited him and the team very well in this phase: no great expectations and the opportunity to stand up to the opponent, especially through the fight. “Since nobody expects an away win in Leverkusen, that’s exactly where our chance lies,” said Stückemann.
In any case, it will be exhausting with a jump ball that has been postponed by an hour and the immediate long journey back. Every game is played to win and compete at a high level, says the Eagles coach. But the team is going into this match without any pressure, with Alan Kikwaki still missing injured and Tim Schlegel now also missing. It is transmitted in Live stream on the Bayer Giants Leverkusen YouTube channel.
