Merlins in Karlsruhe: Strong fight in the catch-up game against LIONS!
On Monday evening, the HAKRO Merlins Crailsheim set off for their away game at the PS Karlsruhe LIONS. The duel in the Europahalle promises to be exciting for several reasons. The Merlins have won the last three games and have shown an impressive defensive performance, allowing only 63, 69 and 76 points on the opponents' scoreboard, while they were able to score reliably themselves. Over 100 passionate fans will support Krailsheim in the away game, and the game will be broadcast live for everyone at home Sporteurope.TV transmitted.
In December, the Merlins have to play six games in the BARMER 2nd Basketball Bundesliga ProA. After the encounter with the LIONS there are home games against Bremerhaven and Hagen, followed by further away games in Cologne and Quakenbrück hakro-merlins.com.
The situation of the LIONS
The PS Karlsruhe LIONS have struggled with injury problems in recent years, which has affected their performance. After a mixed season, they finished last year in twelfth place. A change of coach brought a breath of fresh air: Demond Greene took over the position of boss after the departure of Aleksandar Šćepanović. Greene brings with him a successful time as a player in Germany and was previously an assistant coach at FC Bayern Munich Basketball. Only two players from last season, captain Julian Albus and Moe Pluskota, were retained.
This upheaval brought with it some new additions, including David Cohn, who already has 66 ProA games under his belt, and Isaiah Hart, who averaged 16 points for Düsseldorf last season. Despite these changes, the LIONS have a record of 4:6 after ten games, most recently they were able to come back with a 92:82 win in the derby against Tübingen eurobasket.com.
Top performers for the Merlins
There are a few players worth highlighting at the HAKRO Merlins who have been particularly crucial to their success so far. Anthony Gaines, with an impressive 15.8 points and 6.7 rebounds per game, is proving to be a real performer. Brock Gardner (13.6 points, 6 rebounds) and Marvin Ogunsipe (12.8 points, 7.2 rebounds) are also strong. The reserve players, such as TJ Madlock and Vinnie Shahid, also contribute to team cohesion with solid performances. It remains to be seen how the Merlins can carry the momentum into the coming games, especially against the LIONS, who are also looking for stability.

The clash in Karlsruhe is eagerly awaited. Will the Merlins continue their upward trend or can the LIONS build on their recent successes against the Crailsheimers? The answer will be available on Monday evening!
