Niners Chemnitz: Back after 42 days - fans expect a spectacle!

Chemnitz, Deutschland - After an intensive away trip, the Niners Chemnitz finally return to their home venue. After 42 days without a home game, most recently in early March, the fans and the team look forward to special moments. In the meantime, the Niners won three away wins, but also had to accept a significant defeat of 87: 117 against Ulm.

"We studied intensively in the first quarter and were not satisfied with our defensive behavior. In addition, we did not hit too many simple throws and produced some bad passes too much," explained Jonas Richter in retrospect for the defeat.

statistical insights into the BBL

The analysis of the basketball statistics, as presented by basketball.de , shows why individual games are often crucial for the course of the season. Important key figures in this context are offensive rating (OrtG) and defensive rating (DRTG), which measure the points per possession.

The possessions, i.e. the ball possessions of a team, are calculated according to a special formula: The number of possessions is made up of the field goal attempts (FGA) minus offensive rebounds (oreb) plus turnovers (to) and an adaptation for free throwing (fta).

The challenges of the Niners

In the current season, the Niners are faced with the challenge of increasing their offensive performance. A quick analysis of the last games shows that the team in the league average of 73 possessions per game has potential to optimize their playing style and improve the net rating. The processing of these complex statistics, which often also include interactive graphics on rebounding quotas and litter rates, is of central importance for trainers and players to develop the right strategy.

With the home game in sight, the anticipation for the support of the fans is great. It remains to be seen whether the Niners can turn off the avoidable mistakes from the game against Ulm in order to deliver a strong game. The coming days will definitely promise exciting developments.
