Crailsheim Merlins Team News
The Merlins started this season very well, but as time goes on their form is getting worse. The width and lack of quality are affecting their keeping up with the best teams in the German Bundesliga. This season they also played in the FIBA Eurocup, which made their job in the domestic championship even more difficult.
They are in a series of seven consecutive defeats in the German championship, which brought them to the very edge, that is, in a frantic fight for survival until the last round. They are in fifteenth place with a record of 7-16, which is still two more wins than the Frankfurt Skyliners, who have a better head-to-head record.
However, they have a difficult task ahead of them, because the dangerous Ulm is their guest. The Merlins work on the drive of the Americans Lewis and Stuckey, who, along with Edon Maxhuni, are the team’s most efficient players. A big problem for the Merlins is the absence of Maxhuni, who has injury problems.
Ulm Team News
It seems that Ulm has finally caught the right rhythm and that coach Anton Glavel managed to instill a warrior mentality in his players and that for his team there are no lost balls or lost games.
They started this season quite badly, but during the season they got stronger with NBA player, center Bruno Caboclo, who is coming to Europe in his prime. From the moment he arrived in Ulm, Caboclo proved to be a top reinforcement, scoring 20 points on average and grabbing almost 8 rebounds. Before Caboclo, the experienced Brandon Paul, who started the season in China, arrived in Ulm. These two players are a great update on Jallow and Yago Dos Santos, who were striking stars. Caboclo and Paul bring great security to the game of Ulm, and Jallow and Yago are relieved, and they have more space for production. Robin Chirsten should also be singled out, who has been playing great lately, especially defensively.
In the last Eurocup match, Ulm was dominant against the relegated Cedevita Olimpija. Caboclo makes a huge difference on both sides of the court. And when the defenders join him, everyone is in trouble. We should single out the great game of young Fedor Zugic, who played the best match of this season against Cedevita.
