In the sign of basketball action, the Europahalle is in Karlsruhe, which now opens its gates after extensive renovation work of around 30 million euros. At this place, which was already important for Rasta Vechta in 2018, the fans experience a duel between the PS Karlsruhe Lions and the Vechta Farm team. The highly expected game of the 3rd game day in Barmer 2nd Basketball Bundesliga Proa begins on Saturday at 7:30 p.m.

The Lions expects, in their new home venue, which bears the name Löwenkage 4.0, high pressure because they start the season after two defeats. They clearly lost the first game with 73:84 against the University of Baskets Münster and then had to surrender to the Giessen 46ers in a tight game with 64:66. Before the first home game of the defending champion, who had risen to Easycredit BBL last season, the pressure is growing to improve your own game.

Rasta Vechta as a challenger

for Rasta Vechta II, the situation is extremely challenging. The team travels to Karlsruhe as a blatant outsider. Head Coach Hendrik Gruhn realistically commented on the situation: "We are still quite a bit away from being on a level where we can play against strong opponents for victory." The Vechta team had a significant defeat last Saturday with 84:112 against the Vet Concept Gladiators Trier, although they showed progress compared to the first match day against the Eisbären Bremerhaven (64: 111)

Gruhn continues: "Our topics this week are the defense that is to be improved and stabilizing the things that we are already doing well." The focus is on helping the young players to get used to the level of the ProA. To make up for your physical disadvantages, rely on mobility and speed. This applies to both the big players and the Guards.

A key to success will be to find your own pace and to radiate an carefreeness that could enable the team to compensate for any deficits. In this pleasure, exciting duels between talented players and experienced professionals are expected. Among other things, the 143-time player of Easycredit BBL, Lukas Herzog (22) will compete against Roy Krupnika (17). Kaya Bayram (20) will also compete with Lachlan Dent (24), and Dennis Tunstall (27) and Melvin Jostmann (24) are fighting for the upper hand.
