“Uuulm team’s strong defense leads to tight victory against Munich”

Already at the Uuulm team presentation, the own word could not be understood due to the orange wall. The team transported this energy from minute one, played with great intensity and got off to a good start, especially defensively. In the defensive group, Bayern were forced to make difficult shots, but initially had no luck in attacking and could not make a profit from it at first (4:5, 4th). Bruno Caboclo then hit the first shot from the outside in this game, but in the first few minutes he mainly caused a lot of alarm under the basket – after almost five minutes he had already recorded four rebounds (1 OR) and one block. The first half of the game was also a defensive game, both teams had to invest a lot to get free shots. Then (delegated) playmaker Juan Nunez controlled the offensive, as he did against Berlin. The young Spaniard first converted the lay-up despite a foul, then put Josh Hawley in the spotlight with an alley-oop pass and then successfully pulled to the basket again – this was the first small run (7-0) in the game (9:15, 8th minute). .). The next run, however, belonged to Munich, who put in an 11:2 run across quarters and took the lead. In the second half of the game it wasn’t an offensive spectacle either, the game thrived on passionate fighting. However, the host hit the three better in this phase, the Ulm team still faltered from there (4/17), but due to aggressive defense they scored simple fast break points a few times and thus stayed tuned. Then Nunez, in excellent form, sunk a three from the parking lot and put Orange back in front (36:37, 8th). That was the start of an 8-0 run for the Uuulmer, in which the Spaniard was instrumental both as a scorer and as a passer. The hosts were then able to shorten the lead again, so Uuulmer went into the dressing room with a narrow lead (41:42, HZ.).
