MHP Giant Ludwigsburg: strong comeback victory and lead!

The MHP Giant Ludwigsburg are on the victory course in the Fiba Europe Cup and took over the lead after another success. On December 11, 2024, the Ludwigsburgers clearly defeated the Swiss series champion Olympic Friborg with 82:58 and show that they can survive in international competition. In doing so, they consolidate their place at the top of the group phase after winning the first game against the Polish team Verlil Wloclawek with 86:81, like the Sportschau reported.

In the game against Friborg, the Ludwigsburg were defensively, but they remained offensive behind the expectations, in particular their throwing rate of over 20 percent from a distance was negative. A bright spot was the comeback of Yorman Polas Bartolo, who returned after a calf injury and shone with 15 points as the best thrower of the giant. Coach John Patrick praised Bartolo's importance for the team: "It is not for nothing that he is our captain." So the Ludwigsburgers remain on the right track to the quarter -finals, while at the same time they look at the next home game on Sunday against the Niners Chemnitz, in which a larger viewer is expected.

Overall, the MHP giants have so far performed strongly in the intermediate round. Coach Patrick found that the second half against Verlil Wloclawek was the key to victory, where she came back into the game with a huge run. It seems as if the Ludwigsburgers have self -confidence and the form to continue their trend proportions in upcoming games, both in the European Cup and in the Bundesliga, where they continue to fight for the title.
