SC Rist Wedel: With a fighting spirit in the play-off-victory against Paderborn!

On April 8, 2025, SC Rist Wedel celebrated an important victory against the Gartenzaun24 Baskets Paderborn with 67:62. With this success, the Wedeler secured their participation in the play-offs of the 2nd basketball Bundesliga for the second time in a row. This victory was particularly important because it was the first success after four defeats in a row.

In the course of the game, the Wedeler were only able to score 13 points in the first quarter, but increased in the second quarter, in which they were responsible. The leadership changed several times in the course of the game, and Paderborn, who had relegated from the 2nd Bundesliga Proa last year, even took the lead before Wedel struck back.

critical final phase

The game has been particularly exciting in the last 30 seconds. After a risky pass from Camron Reece to Niklas Krause, who was fouled, Krause converted the subsequent free throw. Al-Fayed Alegbe was also successful from the line, which secured the final victory. The fan club Yalla Risters celebrated this moment with unforgettable chants, while "We Are The Champions" from Queen sounded through the hall.

Captain Linus Hoffmann emphasized the importance of play-off participation for the young team after the game, which has developed enormously despite the previous defeats. Rist coach Hamed Attarbashi particularly praised the strong defense of his players and the achievements of Reece and Leif Möller, the latter with a decisive throw in the final phase.

statistics and choice of opponents

Despite a poorer three -throw rate (11%) compared to Paderborn (29%), the SC Rist Wedel was able to prevail in the end. The statistics show the individual successes of the players:

like Andrea Koschek, another player, noted, there are already wishes for future opponents with regard to the upcoming play-offs. While Koschek wants another challenger, Hoffmann has the desire to reciprocate Cologne. However, Coach Attarbashi warned of the possible spotes in the table that could make the upcoming games even more exciting.

The SC Rist Wedel thus asserts itself with the second best result in the three comparison and secures eighth place in the table, which significantly increases expectations for the upcoming play-offs. The fans can look forward to exciting games, while the club is preparing to show what it is made of in the knockout round round.
