Alba Berlin celebrates a clear victory in the first test match against Hamburg!
Last Sunday evening, Alba Berlin showed an impressive performance in the first test match of the new season and defeated Veolia Towers Hamburg 107:74. The game took place at the training center in Berlin-Mitte and offered fans a first insight into the potential of the new team.
The halftime score of 47:39 for the Berliners suggested that the team was well prepared under coach Israel González. Despite a thinly staffed team - only eight professionals took part as captain Martin Hermannsson was missing due to national team commitments - the team was able to convince. In addition, only nine players were under contract, which made it necessary to bring in guest player Bennet Hundt and NBBL youth players to fill the gaps.
Outstanding individual achievements
The newcomers Boogie Ellis and Jack Kayil were particularly outstanding, each scoring 16 points. Jack Kayil also shone with five assists and showed that he will be a valuable part of the team. Alba's offense worked well, but the team also excelled defensively.
Defensive performance was strong, with Justin Bean and Jonas Mattisseck collecting five and four possessions respectively. Through this solid defensive work, Alba forced Hamburg to lose a total of 29 balls, which had a decisive influence on the clear victory.
Outlook for the near future
The next test match will take place next Saturday at 4:00 p.m. against the Basketball Löwen Braunschweig in Oranienburg. The players are already looking forward to this challenge to further consolidate their form and refine the game structure. Another preparatory tournament in Malaga, Spain, at the beginning of September will also provide the finishing touches for the young team, which wants to go into the coming season well prepared. The first competitive game is on October 3rd at home against newly promoted Trier.
Overall, the start of the test games shows that Alba Berlin has taken the right path and is starting the new season with a lot of enthusiasm and motivation.
