Some even had to follow the exciting game while standing!

With fresh courage, the elephants in the cup for the upcoming challenges, while key players like Viktor Frankl-Maus and Niko Dellis were missing. Instead, the substitute players were particularly committed: Rassim Diallo and Leo Trierscheidt shone on the field, while Jacob Washington combined with five threes from the comfort zone. "We brought everything out of the game that was possible," Al Abed praised his team, who was preparing for the next opponent Deutzer TV with joy and rhythm.

Return of the fighter

The coach also fights for the return of Fabian Berens, who wants to go back to the field with full determination after a cruciate ligament tear over a year ago. Al Abed knows about the patience that his player needs: "I don't want to risk that he is injured again, we need him as an aggressive defender." While he was able to collect short minutes against Ibbenbüren, the focus is now on the upcoming training sessions to get the finishing touches.

After a weekend full of emotions, the entire team will be ordered back to the hall to work on their throw and tactically prepare for their upcoming challenge at the table second in DTV Basketball Cologne on Saturday. With an impressive performance in the back, the elephants could be ready to cause a sensation again!
