Ludwigsburg's basketball sensation: Clear 86: 62 demonstration in the Eurocup!

The MHP Giant Ludwigsburg set an impressive sign at the start in the Europe Cup. In a clear 86: 62 victory over the Caledonia Gladiators from Glasgow, they confirmed their ambitious goals for the season. The encounter took place in the domestic hall in Ludwigsburg and showed from the start that the hosts were well prepared.

The team under the direction of coach John Patrick started furiously and was able to quickly break away 8-1. The high pace that the Ludwigsburgers showed through the entire game was particularly striking. This overwhelmed the guests from Scotland, who had numerous problems in this phase of the encounter. Lenny Anigbata, a promising player, celebrated his professional debut in this game and provided a decisive defensive rebound for Jakob Patrick's buzzer, which increased the score after the first quarter to 21:14

dominance in the course of the game

In the second quarter, the positive trend for the home side continued. A successful three -point throw from Yorman Bartolo increased the lead to ten points and illustrated the control that Ludwigsburg had in the game. It was surprising that the Caledonia Gladiators did without tactical fouls, which enabled the giant to complete their quick attacks without considerable pressure. Another spectacular action, a buzzer Beater of the guests, completed the second section, at a stand of 36:26 at halftime.

With a good lead we went to the second half of the game. Despite a slight reduction in precision in their own attacks, the Ludwigsburgers managed to further expand their distance. After a break at 40:30, the team of John Patrick developed a lead of more than 20 points, while the Gladiators already recorded 19 ball losses, which was not good for their mix of solid and risk game.

concentration until the end

The last quarter start went for the giants with a comfortable 16-point lead. Despite the superiority, coach Patrick remained vigilant and took further time -out to ensure that his team did not lose control. "Every attack is important for progress," emphasized the 56-year-old when his players became rather negligent towards the end of the game. This paid off, because the lead grew up to 33 points, which underlined the dominance of the hosts that evening.

The 86: 62 victory was an important first impression for the Ludwigsburgers in the new European season. A new challenge await you in the coming days: First there is a cup game against Syntainics MBC on Sunday Imm program, followed by an away game in the Europe Cup on Wednesday in Albania against Trepca, which is already heralding a decisive phase of the season.
