Fight for the play-offs: SC Rist Wedel has to win against Paderborn!
The SC Rist Wedel faces a decisive phase in the basketball regional league, since the team will compete against Gartenzaun24 Baskets Paderborn next Sunday, April 6th. Trainer Hamed Attarbashi emphasizes to win one of the remaining four games to achieve the play-offs. The pressure on the team is noticeable, especially after the last two defeats against SBB Baskets Wolmirstedt and the Bayer Giants Leverkusen.
In the first of these games, the Wedeler had to give up with 78:80 after extra time, and the second followed a 61:69 defeat. These results have made the starting point for the upcoming games more complicated. The game against Paderborn, which begins in the Steinberghalle at 5 p.m., could be crucial for the Wedeler, since Paderborn is on the way back to the 2nd Bundesliga Proa and recently celebrated four victories in a row.
The starting point and possible scenarios
currently the SC Rist Wedel has the opportunity to achieve the fourth place in the table when you won two of your own victories and at the same time lose the BG Bitterfeld-Sandersdorf-Wolfen 06 and the Iserlohn Kangaroos. However, a placement between fifth and eighth place is more realistic. Especially the eighth place could be secured on Sunday if the Berlin Braves and the En Baskets lose.
The last regular season game for Wedel will take place on April 12th against SSV Lokomotive Bernau. Attarbashi is optimistic about the possibilities of his team, despite the clear requirements. It is particularly important to him that relegation is already secured, which could take a certain pressure for players. He sees the play-offs as an opportunity to gain valuable experience, especially for the younger players in the team.
trainer with a special connection to Paderborn
In addition to the challenges on the field, Attarbashi also has a personal connection to the Paderborn Baskets, where he previously worked as a youth coordinator. This gives the upcoming game an additional dimension that is important for both him and the players.On Sunday, the return of several double license players could also be expected, including Fabian Giessmann, Jared Gray and Leif Möller, depending on the previous games of the Veolia Towers Hamburg. Such personnel reinforcements could prove to be crucial in order to string back against a strongly performing Paderborn team.
The concentration is now on the upcoming game where the course for the play-offs could set. While the last results from the series point out the challenges, the focus of the SC Rist Wedel is clear: to go into the upcoming encounters and to maintain the chances of achieving the play-offs.
