under pressure: The baskets lack the necessary consistency

Telekom Baskets Bonn are facing a challenging phase in the basketball Bundesliga. The chances of participating in the play-ins and the pressure to show good performance grows with every further game. On Wednesday, the Baskets have the opportunity to prove themselves against Basketball Löwen Braunschweig and to catch up in the fight for tenth.

The current uncertainty in the team is noticeable. In the last games, performance fluctuated considerably. While the game against Heidelberg, which ended with a narrow 85:80 for Bonn, was constant over almost the entire season, a different picture was confirmed against Würzburg. There, despite a 15-point lead, the Baskets in the end lost 75:83 and revealed weaknesses on the defensive. The coach, Marko Stankovic, tried to strengthen the self -confidence of his players, but the required winning mentality is still missing.

A key player could be Darius McGhee, who in the last games with his achievements remained behind his possibilities. For the next duel, an increase is necessary to support the game structure and stabilize the team. The focus is also on Phlandrous Fleming Jr., whose ball losses against Würzburg were decisive. The players have to transfer their individual strengths to the team to use the chances more effectively.

The baskets seem reliable in the center positions. Till Pape and Thomas Kennedy delivered strong performances in the last encounters, and their presence under the basket helps to win the rebound duel. Nevertheless, it is crucial that they are making concrete capital out of this superiority. Missing points from the zone could prove to be disadvantageous against well -positioned opponents such as the Braunschweig.

The upcoming games are not only crucial for the placement of the table, but also for the self -image of the Baskets. The balance of her opponent, represented here by the lions, who score several players in the double -digit range, shows that Bonn needs a clear strategy to be successful. Constance and courage are essential to run the necessary victories and to end the season positively.
