Wheelchair basketball players secure the second spot after the main round

With an unchallenged win at the beginning of the end (30:76), the boys and girls moved into the playoffs in second place in the table

After the team’s sometimes desolate performance against Zwickau last weekend, the Wagnerstadt side had to show a reaction. With an apparent success in 30:76 in Cologne, the team is in the mood for the upcoming playoff matches.

“The match against Zwickau clearly showed us our limits,” said player and coach Hope before the match. “We used the last week and worked intensively on our weaknesses.”

Accordingly, the players of Bayreuth acted with concentration in the first period of the match, which clearly went to the guests with a score of 8:24 points.

RSV also won the second quarter with a score of 6:12 points. Coach Hope, who did not actively interfere in the game during this period, can be satisfied with the defensive behavior of his team. Good shots were also played in the attack. However, these have remained unused at one time or another.

Therefore, the motto of the second half (14:36 ​​points) was clear. They wanted to keep the pressure on Cologne high in preparation for the upcoming knockout matches. This should work perfectly. Defensively, the home team was only allowed hard scores. In their own attack, Bayreuth let the ball run well. So you found your better teammate and clearly decided this quarter with 6:20 points for yourself. With a lead of 20:56 points, RSV went into the final part of the game. Here too, Bayern managed to build on the intensity of the first 30 minutes of the match. With 10:20 to go and nice team play, the final quarter clearly went to RSV. In the end, Bayreuther scored a clear and safe victory (30:76 points) and thus secured the second place in the table after the main round in RBBL2.

As after the first half of the season, there will also be a third place after the main round^he-comparison. In the end, it was the positive evaluation points from the Munich and Zwickau meetings that made the difference in second place. Munich secured first place with three wins and one loss. With only 1 win and 3 losses, Zwickau is ranked 3rd, and thus the semi-final opponent of RSV in the playoffs.

Player coach Andre Hope: “I’m proud of the team. We showed the right reaction to defeat against Zwickau today. Although the opponent unfortunately didn’t play in full today, we played our game. Now it’s in the playoffs against Zwickau. Unlike the last game, we’ll be ready!”
