Coach Schneider Anticipates a Difficult Contest

“With Bamberg we are facing the current top team of the second half of the season. They made an impressive showing in the top four as cup winners and were also extremely successful in the last BBL games. So they are rightly high up in the table. In the first leg – which was a long time ago now – we found ways to beat Bamberg and were somewhat prepared for their style of play and individual class. When they find their rhythm, they have a lot of weapons offensively and for us it will be important to stay focused, Being fearless and courageous are the decisive factors for the game, which will not be easy given the fact that we have to do without our point guard in Steven and another starting five player in Nolan. We will do everything One can to stay in the game for as long as possible and then put ourselves in a position to win the game.”

Jacques Schneider, Head Coach of the Gladiators Trier
