“No advantage”, but already a sign
The first semi-final game between Berlin and Ludwigsburg is scheduled for Friday. And they were the only team in the main round that managed to defeat Berlin both times. “It’s definitely not an advantage for us to win twice – it gives them a chance to settle an open score“Said Ludwigsburg coach John Patrick.
For Alba, however, it was games that should be understood as a warning for the upcoming semi-finals. “I expect a very difficult series, much more difficult than against Bamberg. Ludwigsburg is a club that has a system that is successful. In the past five years they have continued to increase“said Berlin coach Israel Gonzalez.

Dream of the title and victory against Alba
Last season, the giants made it to the semifinals, where they lost to Bayern Munich. The year before, Ludwigsburg was even in the final of the playoffs, which were shortened due to the corona pandemic, and lost to Alba. Is Berlin the end of the line again or is the really big hit coming?
“We want to play our best basketball at the end of the season. So far there have been many positive stories to tell about our season – but the best one could be throwing Alba Berlin out of the playoffs“, said head coach Patrick. His opponent Gonzalez assumes a “fight”, Ludwigsburg is “probably the most physical team in the league“, are also “well coached”.
