Würzburg's new Guard Trio: On the way to the basketball throne!

On December 23, 2024, there is an exciting duel between the Würzburg Baskets and the Chemnitz Niners, two surprise teams from last season, both of which were in the semi -finals of the EasyCredit BBL. While Chemnitz, thanks to coach Rodrigo Pastore, who has been running the team for nine years and has even been able to play a strong performance to the European Cup, Würzburg's Sasa Filipovski converted the troop last year after the league MVP Otis Livingston moved to Galatasaray Istanbul. Characterized by this upheaval, Würzburg is now with new players, including Jhivvan Jackson, who shines with 20.1 points per game as a league top scorer, and the Guards Mike Lewis II and Mike Davis Jr. href = "https://www.telekom-baskets-bonn.de/presse/newsarchiv/an-weihnachten- against-wuerzburg"> Telekom baskets bonn ).

a duel of the success models

Both teams are strong this season and rank in the upper third of the table. While Würzburg recently celebrated three victories in a row and now took third place, Chemnitz is in sixth place after a recent loss against Braunschweig. The philosophy of the two trainers could not be more different: Filipovski relies on dynamic guards, while Pastore puts on the length and variability of his players on the defensive. The Guards of Würzburg will try to demand the defensive of Chemnitz intensively, while the Niners will build on a robust defense to stop the Würzburg attackers ( EasyCredit BBL ).

Special attention will also be paid to the individual duels among the baskets: The Center Owen Classes and Olivier NKAMHOUA are key factors for their teams when it comes to generating second throwing chances. Classes, which is the best in the league with 3.9 offensive rebounds per game this season, acts as a stable factor for Chemnitz, while Nkamhoua will represent temptations for the Würzburg game. The encounter not only promises sporting highlights, but also shows the talent and strategies of two of the best coaches in the league.
