Berlin (dpa / bb) - At Alba Berlin there was great relief after the hard-fought 93:82 home win against Central German BC on Sunday.
“The win was extremely important, because we can't afford to slip up in the league,” said international Johannes Thiemann.
At the moment, victories - even against the table sixteenth in the basketball Bundesliga - are not a matter of course for Alba under the burden of their own mammoth program.
For Alba, the game against MBC was the twelfth game in March.
“The frequency is too short, we recently had four games in eight days.
We're a team, if we play with 100 percent energy, then we look good and if we can't, it can be tough.
And that was the case today, »said manager Marco Baldi.
As so often in the last few weeks, the Berliners got more tired against the MBC with increasing playing time.
«It's just awesome.
Always travel a lot, always be on the move a lot.
We sat on the plane for five hours on Saturday, ”Giffey reported.
Alba played in the Euroleague in Barcelona late on Friday evening.

And on Tuesday (7 p.m. / Magentasport) the away game at Zalgiris Kaunas in Lithuania will continue, the last away game in the premier class of the season.
«We would like to see a better game plan, that's for sure.
So that you can focus on games again, ”said Giffey.
That's why every game is difficult for Alba at the moment.
“You can't just lose a game, you can lose more: your convictions and your rhythm.
We're not a super tough team that can simply wipe away defeats, ”said Baldi.
The Berliners are more concerned with the playful line than with a place in the table.
«It is difficult to veer for a seat at all.
The process is more the goal, ”said Captain Giffey.
